StarStarStarStar

Radiolucency

StarStarStarStar

Suggests an area that allows X-ray penetration, typically indicative of decay, cysts, or periodontal disease.

StarStarStarStar

Root Fracture

StarStarStarStar

A disruption of the tooth structure that may appear as a radiolucent line across the tooth root.

StarStarStarStar

Pulp Chamber and Root Canal

StarStarStarStar

Central radiolucent areas within the tooth where the nerve and blood vessels are located.

StarStarStarStar

Dental Caries

StarStarStarStar

Manifest as radiolucent areas on the tooth, indicating decay caused by bacterial processes.

StarStarStarStar

Lamina dura

StarStarStarStar

A dense radiopaque line surrounding the tooth root, indicating healthy periodontal bone support.

StarStarStarStar

Furcation Involvement

StarStarStarStar

Radiolucent areas in the bone around the branching point of a multi-rooted tooth, indicating advanced periodontal disease.

StarStarStarStar

Root Resorption

StarStarStarStar

The loss of tooth root structure, appearing as an irregular or blunted root end, which may result from trauma, reimplantation, or orthodontic movement.

StarStarStarStar

Impacted Tooth

StarStarStarStar

A tooth that is visibly prevented from erupting into the proper position, which may cause displacement or resorption of adjacent teeth.

StarStarStarStar

Crown to Root Ratio

StarStarStarStar

The proportion of the visible crown to the length of the root(s), which helps assess periodontal stability.

StarStarStarStar

Odontoma

StarStarStarStar

A radiopaque lesion that may contain tooth-like structures within it, representing a benign odontogenic tumor made up of enamel and dentin.

StarStarStarStar

Radiopacity

StarStarStarStar

Indicates the presence of a substance that is resistant to the passage of X-rays, often suggestive of metal restorations or calcified structures.

StarStarStarStar

Periapical Lesion

StarStarStarStar

A radiolucent area at the apex of a tooth root, often indicative of a dental abscess or cyst.

StarStarStarStar

Cemento-enamel Junction (CEJ)

StarStarStarStar

The boundary where the enamel, which covers the tooth crown, and the cementum, which covers the root, meet.

StarStarStarStar

Periodontal Ligament (PDL) Space

StarStarStarStar

A thin radiolucent line surrounding the tooth root that represents the space occupied by the periodontal ligament.

StarStarStarStar

Interproximal Bone Loss

StarStarStarStar

A reduction in the height of the alveolar bone between two teeth, typically indicating periodontal disease.

StarStarStarStar

Amalgam Overhang

StarStarStarStar

Excessive amalgam restoration material extends beyond the crown of the tooth, creating an area that can trap plaque and debris.

StarStarStarStar

Enamel Pearl

StarStarStarStar

A small, round radiopacity located on root surfaces that consists of ectopic enamel.

StarStarStarStar

Condensing Osteitis

StarStarStarStar

A localized area of increased bone density, often at the apex of an infected tooth, indicative of chronic inflammation.

StarStarStarStar

Periapical Radiolucency

StarStarStarStar

A dark area at the end of a tooth root indicating a pathologic change, such as a cyst, granuloma, or abscess at or around the tooth apex.

StarStarStarStar

Mixed Radiolucent-Radiopaque Lesion

StarStarStarStar

A lesion that has both dark and white areas within it, suggesting a tissue density that varies in consistency or composition.

StarStarStarStar

Maxillary Sinus

StarStarStarStar

An air-filled cavity above the upper teeth that can appear radiopaque if infected (sinusitis) or may show the proximity to upper teeth roots.

StarStarStarStar

Bifurcation

StarStarStarStar

The area where a multi-rooted tooth splits into separate roots, which can be the site of furcation involvement in gum disease.

StarStarStarStar

Dentigerous Cyst

StarStarStarStar

A radiolucent lesion that surrounds the crown of an unerupted or developing tooth, potentially leading to delayed eruption or displacement.

StarStarStarStar

Calculus

StarStarStarStar

Calcified dental plaque that appears as irregular radiopacities, which may be found on the surfaces of teeth or within the periodontal pocket.

StarStarStarStar

Mandibular Canal

StarStarStarStar

A radiolucent band outlined by two thin radiopaque lines that runs through the mandible, allowing passage of the inferior alveolar nerve and blood vessels.

StarStarStarStar

Zygomatic Arch

StarStarStarStar

A bony arch on the side of the skull that can sometimes be confused with a foreign body or pathology on dental X-rays.
