Abstract

The loss of alveolar bone supporting the maxillary central incisors and the general periodontal conditions were evaluated after 14 years in the 12 patients remaining from an original group of 47 under treatment in Malaysia. Alveolar bone loss was minimal during this period even in the presence of periodontal inflammation. These data suggest that treatment protects patients with leprosy from alveolar bone loss and suggests that other skeletal deformities might respond similarly.

摘要

对马来西亚最初接受治疗的47名患者中剩余的12名患者进行了14年的随访，评估了上颌中切牙牙槽骨的丧失情况和一般牙周状况。在此期间，即使存在牙周炎症，牙槽骨丧失也很少。这些数据表明，治疗可保护麻风病患者免于牙槽骨丧失，并提示其他骨骼畸形可能也有类似反应。
