  • Title: [Metacarpal index in periodontal disease].
    Author: Tesseromatis C, Myrkou A, Dalles C, Speggos M.
    Journal: Stomatol DDR; 1989 Jul; 39(7):469-73. PubMed ID: 2636494.
    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.
