Abstract

Introduction: Evaluation of bony changes in periodontal tissue is based primarily on the appearance of the interdental bone. Demographic variations in the distance between cementoenamel junction and the alveolar crest may be perceived as an important factor in the diagnosis of periodontal disease progression. Aim: The aim of the study was to measure and compare the distance between the alveolar crest and the cementoenamel junction between first and second permanent mandibular molars in North-east and Rajasthan population who were clinically healthy and belonged to the age group of 17–21 years. Materials and Methods: ors: Fifty participants were included in each group. The distance between alveolar crest and the cementoenamel junction was analyzed using an orthopantamograph. A calibrating tool was used to eliminate the bias/error between the radiographic measurements and the actual clinical measurements done with the help of vernier calipers. T test was used to compare the values between two groups. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the distance between the alveolar crest and cementoenamel junction between the two groups and it was found to be higher in the North-east group as compared to the Rajasthan group. When a comparison was done between males and females, the value was higher in males than in females in the North-east group. Conclusion: The following study proposes to recognize the importance of the distance between the cementoenamel junction and the alveolar crest in the diagnosis of periodontal disease progression based on demographic patterns.
