It points to the location of destructive local factors in different areas of the mouth. Pattern of Bone Destruction in periodontal disease, the interdental bone undergoes changes that affect the lamina dura, crestal radiodensity, size and shape of the medullary spaces, and height and contour of the bone crest perpendicular to the long axis of the adjacent teeth (horizontal bone loss or angular or arcuate defects (angular, or vertical, bone loss. Radiographic Appearance of Periodontal Disease, Periodontitis Radiographic changes in periodontitis follow the pathophysiology of periodontal tissue destruction and include the following: Fuzziness and disruption of lamina dura crestal cortication continuity is the earliest radiographic change in periodontitis and results from bone resorption activated by extension of gingival inflammation into the periodontal bone. Continued periodontal bone loss and widening of the periodontal space results in a wedge-shaped radiolucency at the mesial or distal aspect of the crest. The apex of the area is pointed in the direction of the ______.
