Abstract
The hypothesis that there is a relationship between total bone mass reduction and alveolar bone loss in periodontal disease was studied in a group of 98 hospitalized patients free of metabolic disease. All patients had periodontitis with marked evidence of alveolar bone loss. A significant correlation of alveolar bone resorption to the total bone mass reduction in patients with periodontal disease was found.
