A radiographic study of interproximal alveolar bone crest between the primary molars in children.
This study establishes baseline data regarding the normal relationship between the cementoenamel junction and the alveolar crest in the primary dentition, using bitewing radiographs. Measurements greater than those presented in this study may indicate an early stage of periodontal disease in the primary dentition, a tendency of the patient to develop the disease, or a combination of these.
