title: [High frequency sonography in periodontal diagnosis].
abstract: In a preparatory series of experimental studies on anatomical preparations of the skull, the components of the bony periodontium have been identified by frontal and horizontal scans. First experimental studies on sheep periodontal have been conducted using a high resolution 20 MHz ultrasound unit. B scans provide a clearly defined image of the periodontal structures of the alveolar arch, the gingiva and the periodontal membrane. Without an additional A scan, however, a quantitative evaluation is impossible.
