title: [A trial of densitometry in the objective assessment of the x-ray image of the apices of the interdental membranes in periodontal lesions].
abstract: The authors suggest a method to assess the quality of filling dental contact surfaces, based on determination of the relative contrast index (RCI) of the x-ray image of interdental septal apexes at the site of filled and intact teeth on the same image. Analysis of their own findings has lead the authors to a conclusion that assessment of the tooth filling with the use of periodontal and hygienic indexes is not strictly consistent because it is subjective, whereas the RCI permits a follow-up of changes in the mineral content of the bone in the examined site over time.
