  • Title: Association of cemento-enamel junction--alveolar bone crest distance and proximal caries in primary molars.

    Journal: J Clin Pediatr Dent; 1998; 23(1):45-50. PubMed ID: 10023233.
    Abstract:
    The present cross-sectional investigation examined the relationship between proximal caries/defective restorations, dental plaque and gingival indices and the distance of the cemento-enamel junction to the alveolar bone crest (CEJ-ABC). Three hundred and eight children aged 7 years were examined. Proximal caries and defective restorations were diagnosed in bite-wing radiographs. CEJ-ABC was measured on radiographs using a Boley gauge. Dental plaque and gingivitis were recorded clinically by their presence or absence. Multiple linear regression was used for the statistical analyses. The results showed significantly association between the proximal caries index and CEJ-ABC. Dental plaque, gingivitis and gender were not associated significantly with CEJ-ABC.
