This bone is a thin layer of dense bone that lines a normal tooth socket. On a radiograph, this appears as a continuous white line around the tooth root.
What is the lamina dura?
500
This instrument can be described as having a, series of cutting edges lined up on the base, a rounded back, and a rigid shank.
What is a periodontal file.
500

Your patient has 5 mm of recession of the gingival margin on the maxillary second premolar. The probing depths for this tooth range from 2 to 3 mm. The proximal surfaces are experiencing continued attachment loss. Clinically, you see heavy plaque on the proximal surfaces of the roots of this tooth. The patient flosses daily. This could be the cause of these problem areas.
What is floss will not disrupt plaque biofilm in root concavities.
