The Correlation between Chronic Periodontitis and Oral Cancer

Figure 2

Case  1—the preoperative OPTG exhibits severe horizontal and vertical bone loss of the jaws. In addition, peri- and interradicular osteolytic lesions around tooth 36 are present. A soft radiopacity as projection of the tumor mass can be identified along the intact alveolar crest distal of 36. Radiolucency, suspect for bone invasion is solely present at the interradicular and distal aspect of the roots.
