Bite-wing radiographs were used to assess periodontal disease in 304 Brazilian 15-year-old schoolchildren from a population with a low socioeconomic status. The criterion for destructive periodontitis was a distance from the cementoenamel junction to the alveolar crest greater than 2 mm. 90 subjects were excluded, mainly due to missing first molars. Bone loss was diagnosed in 28% of the subjects. More males than females were affected. 50% of all lesions were observed adjacent to first molars. The juvenile periodontitis type of lesion was found in 8 subjects. It was concluded that in young populations bite-wing X-rays seem to be valuable in screening for individuals with incipient bone loss as well as for identification of subjects with juvenile periodontitis. In community programs regular use of this kind of roentgen examination is therefore recommended.
采用翼片式X线片对304名来自社会经济地位较低人群的巴西15岁学童进行牙周疾病评估。破坏性牙周炎的诊断标准为釉牙骨质界至牙槽嵴的距离大于2mm。90名受试者被排除，主要原因是第一磨牙缺失。28%的受试者被诊断为骨丧失。男性受影响的人数多于女性。所有病变的50%见于第一磨牙附近。在8名受试者中发现了青少年牙周炎类型的病变。研究得出结论，在年轻人群中，翼片式X线片似乎在筛查早期骨丧失个体以及识别青少年牙周炎患者方面具有价值。因此，在社区项目中建议定期使用这种X线检查。
