Periodontitis is defined as “an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth caused by specific microorganisms or groups of specific microorganisms, resulting in progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone with pocket formation, recession, or both”.
Changes in the soft tissue of the pocket wall reflect the present inflammatory condition, while the level of bone is the consequence of past pathologic experiences.
Considerable variation occurs in the amount of bone loss, rate as well as pattern of bone loss between individuals and between different sites in the same mouth.
The height and density of the alveolar bone is normally maintained by an equilibrium between bone formation and bone resorption, as regulated by local and systemic influences. This process which occurs throughout life is referred to as bone remodelling. When bone formation exceeds bone resorption, alveolar bone loss occurs.

1. Absorbable products from plaque could stimulate bone progenitor cells in the periodontium to differentiate into osteoclasts which resorb alveolar bone (Figure 1, pathway 1 ) .
2. Absorbable products from plaque as, for example, complexing agents and hydrolytic enzymes could destroy alveolar bone through non-cellular mechanisms by dissolving bone mineral and hydrolyzing the organic matrix (Figure 1, pathway 2).
3. a) Absorbable products from plaque could stimulate cells within the gingiva to release mediators, which in turn could trigger bone progenitor cells to differentiate into bone resorbing osteoclasts (Figure 1, pathways 3 and 4).
b) Gingival cells in response to plaque products could release agents which by themselves have no effect on bone, but could potentiate as co-factors other bone resorptive agents.
c) Gingival cells could release agents which destroy bone by direct chemical action without osteoclasts (Figure 1, pathway 5).
form of the defect is related to the occlusal stress on the related tooth or teeth (Glickman & Smulow 1962),
The major difference between the maxilla and the mandible is a structural one. Sicher (1949) points out that the lower alveolar process in most areas is far stronger than that of the upper jaw. "Only in the incisor and cuspid area are the outer and inner plates of the (mandibular) alveolar process thin . . ." The maxilla is composed of predominantly cancellous trabeculation and thin cortical plates. It is more vascular and the intricate meshwork of trabeculation must make for a large variation in the patterns of inflammatory destruction.
Goldman & Cohen (1958) Possible factors in the pathogenesis of the bone defects: tooth anatomy and position, the relationship of adjacent marginal ridges and cemento- enamel junctions, open contact points with resultant food impaction, and traumatic lesions affecting the attachment apparatus.
Local dental factors which are related to bone defects, e.g. irregular teeth, teeth with roots in close contact, teeth with grooves down the roots, and enamel grooves are reported by Lee et al. (1968) to be associated with bone defects. No doubt any deviation in tooth morphology or tooth relationship can affect related bone morphology.

The following descriptive classification (after Prichard) was used in deciding the gross morphology of any osseous defect present
Vertical or angular defects are those that occur in an oblique direction, leaving a hollowed-out trough in the bone alongside the root; the base of the defect is located apical to the surrounding bone.
These are classified as: class I, indicating minimal, but notable, loss of bone in a furcation; class II, displaying a variable degree of bone destruction in a furcation but not exceeding completely through the furcation; and class III, in which bone resorption extends completely through the furcation.
Subclass A denotes furcation involvements with vertical bone loss of 3 mm or less, subclass B 4 to 6 mm, while subclass C presents with bone loss from the fornix of 7 mm or more (Tarnow & Fletcher 1984).
Vertical or angular defects are those that occur in an oblique direction, leaving a hollowed-out trough in the bone alongside the root; the base of the defect is located apical to the surrounding bone.
Horizontal bone loss is the most common pattern of bone loss in periodontal disease. The bone is reduced in height, but the bone margin remains roughly perpendicular to the tooth surface. The interdental septa and facial and lingual plates are affected, but not necessarily to an equal degree around the same tooth.
Vertical or angular defects are those that occur in an oblique direction, leaving a hollowed-out trough in the bone alongside the root; the base of the defect is located apical to the surrounding bone.
If we look at other intra-alveolar defects, one- two- and three-walled defects and hemisepta were found almost exclusively in the maxilla.
three-wall defects are more frequently found on the mesial surfaces of second and third upper and lower molars . Larato DC 1970
Saari et al. (1968) and Larato (1970) found three-walled defects to be most common in posterior segments. They suggest that where there is a greater thickness of supporting alveolar bone, three-walled defects are likely to occur. If this were the case, one would expect the greatest incidence of three-walled defects to be in the lower posterior segment; but in the present study this was found to be the most common site of the interdental crater.
These trough-like defects are commonly observed in the interdental areas where one finds an intact proximal wall as well as the buccal and lingual walls of the alveolar process. Some of these lesions may be shallow with a broad orifice to the osseous part of the pocket while others may be narrow and deep. Three wall infrabony pockets are occasionally observed on the lingual surfaces of maxillary and mandibular teeth where the lingual plate is intact as well as both proximal walls. Less frequently noted are infrabony pockets located on the buccal surfaces of maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth.
most common two-walled defects, craters
bone resorption has occurred between two adjacent teeth, with the greatest loss under the contact area and facial and lingual cortical plates that extend more coronally remain
Manson 1976
Crater is defined as, cup or bowl shaped defect in the interdental alveolar bone with bone loss nearly equal on the roots of two contiguous teeth and more coronal position of the buccal and lingual alveolar crest; the facial and lingual / palatal walls may be of unequal height – American Academy of Periodontology.
The normal bucco-lingual shape of the interdental alveolar septum between lower molars is usually flat and occasionally concave; the crest of the septum is not composed of cortical bone; and there is a marked structural contrast between the cortical bone of the facial and lingual plates and the interdental trabeculation (Manson 1963).
Inflammation travels on vascular pathways (Weinmann 1941), i.e. most rapidly through vascular cancellous trabeculation (Goldman 1957).
Trench – bone loss affects 2-3 confluent surfaces of the same tooth
Moat – bone loss affects all 4 surfaces of the same tooth
Ramp – bone deformity that results when both alveolar bone and its supporting bone are lost to the same degree in such a manner that the margins of the deformity are at different levels
Plane – bone deformity that results when both alveolar bone and its supporting bone are lost to the same degree in such a manner that the margins of the deformity are at the same level
Horizontal bone loss - bone deformity that results when both interdental septa and cortical (facial and lingual) plates are not lost to the same degree
Thickened alveolar margins were found much more frequently in the maxilla than in the mandible and most frequently in the maxillary posterior segments. Irregular margins were found exclusively in the maxilla and mostly in the maxillary anterior segments. In the dry skull study of Saari et al. (1968), irregular margins were found to occur most frequently in the maxilla. It is possible that both thickened and irregular alveolar margins are related to the rate of remodelling possible in the vascular maxilla; in the former defect, osteoblastic activity predominates; in the latter, resorption. Gutters were found much more frequently in the maxilla, and it is suggested that this phenomenon is also related to the greater reactivity of the thin plates of maxillary bone.

Loss of alveolar bone support is one of the characteristic signs of destructive periodontal disease. Osseous lesions may represent site-specific risk factors or indicators for disease progression and are also one of the main causes of tooth loss.
The extent and the severity of alveolar bone loss is important for diagnosis, treatment planning, and assessment of prognosis of the periodontal patient.
