It's all about the numbers
Condensing osteitis most frequently involves these teeth.
What are teeth #'s 19 & 30?
The periodontal ligament space is in between these two structures.
What are the cementum (root of the tooth) and the lamina dura?
A type of restoration filling material that appears radiopaque on radiographs.
What is amalgam?
This is formed on a panoramic radiograph when a metallic or radio dense object is located between the x-ray source and the structures being radiographed.
What is a ghost image?
Calcification often seen radiographically on interproximal surfaces that acts as a local irritant and is a contributing factor to periodontal disease.
What is calculus?
Clinically, teeth may be mobile; radiographically, bone loss would be greater than 50% at this periodontal stage.
What is stage IV?
Taking a panoramic radiograph when the patient's chin is tipped down will result in this appearance.
What is an exaggerated smile?
The red arrow is pointing to this type of restoration.
What is a stainless-steel crown?
A round, radiolucent opening or hole in the bone located at the midline of the anterior portion of the hard palate.
What is the incisive foramen?
All lesions viewed on a radiograph should be documented and described in these terms.
What is appearance, location, and size?
Normal alveolar bone height spans from the apex of the tooth to a point approximately this much below the CEJ of the tooth.
What is 1.5-2mm
Radiopaque anatomical structure that is J or U shaped.
What is the zygomatic process?
This is the result of improper band placement around a tooth prior to treatment.
What is an amalgam overhang?
A well-defined outer border of a radiolucent lesion; appears radiopaque.
What is corticated?
This is occurring within the circle.

What is recurrent caries?
Radiographically, early changes in the alveolar bone are seen as an indistinct fuzziness of the crestal lamina dura at this periodontal stage.
What is stage II?
This type of radiographic lesion is seen as a well-defined focal opacity seen below the apices of vital, non-carious teeth.
What is sclerotic bone or osteosclerosis?
Type of crown that has two radiographic components.
What is a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown?
Root fractures most often occur in this area.
What are maxillary incisors?
Caries that extends through more than halfway through the enamel but doesn't involve the DEJ.
What is moderate interproximal decay/caries?
Congrats! You choose wisely!

In health, the lamina dura around the roots of the teeth appears as this.
What is dense and radiopaque?
Name of radiopaque metal retention pins used for anterior porcelain denture teeth.
What are diatorics?
This appears as a radiolucent area inferior to the mylohyoid ridge and is the home of the submandibular salivary gland.
What is the submandibular fossa?
This typically benign, radiolucent lesion has an aggressive growth potential.
What is a multilocular radiolucent lesion?
