[Morphological structure of the teeth in patients with rapidly-progressing periodontitis].
Analysis of panoramic radiographs taken from 60 patients with rapidly progressive (RPP) and 40 patients with typical moderate-severe periodontitis (TP) revealed anatomical peculiarities. Measurement of tooth proportions showed high prevalence of morals with short narrow and short distant roots in patients with RPP as compared with TP. Also in patients with RPP the mesial surface of the first morals was involved more often than the distal one, furcations were involved particularly in molars with descent short roots. Investigation of anatomical peculiarities can be used to explain atypical forms of periodontal diseases.
