Cervical burnout :Radiographs sometimes showDiffuse radiolucent areasWith ill defined borders Present on mesial n distal Aspects of teeth in cervical region
These regions appear between The edge of the enamel capAnd the crest of the alveolar Ridge.
It should not be confused withRoot caries.

Lamina dura:It is a thin radio-opaque Layer Of dense bone surrounding the Tooth socket.
It is thicker than the surrounding Trabecular bone and thickness Increases with increase in amount In the occlusal stress

Alveolar crest
The gingival margin of theAlveolar process that extendsBetween the teeth isApparant on radiographsAs radiopaque line calledAlveolar crest.
It is considered as normal If it is not > than 1.5 mm From cej of adjacent teeth.

Periodontal ligament spacePDL space is primarily composed of collagen, so appers as radiolucent Space between tooth root and lamina dura.

Lateral fossa : the radiolucency results from a depression Above and posterior to the lateral incisor. To help rule Out a pathology, look for an intact lamina dura Surrounding the adjacent bone.
![Page 28: Normal Radiographic Anatomical Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/554b1e74b4c90569098b52a5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Maxillary sinus :
The maxillary sinus with Its thin bony walls, its thin mucosa, and its vastAir space, produce anExtremely dark imageDeep to the maxillary Teeth.
Its outlines, particularly its Floor, are clearly delineatedBy delicate radio-opaquelines
![Page 33: Normal Radiographic Anatomical Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/554b1e74b4c90569098b52a5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

In general ,the floor of the sinus isApproximately coincidental with The location of the apices of the Roots of the upper teeth (bicuspidsAnd first two molars ).
But there is often as much as two Or even three mm of maxillary Bone between the root ends andSinus floor.
![Page 35: Normal Radiographic Anatomical Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/554b1e74b4c90569098b52a5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
In other cases the sinus floor dips so deeply between the roots of theMaxillary teeth that the latter appear to project into it for as much as One half of their length
![Page 36: Normal Radiographic Anatomical Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/554b1e74b4c90569098b52a5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

![Page 43: Normal Radiographic Anatomical Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/554b1e74b4c90569098b52a5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Hamular process: It is a bony spine extending from Pterygoid process of the sphenoid Bone. It appears as a radio-opaqueSpine that is recorded on radiographsDistal to the tuberosity of maxillaAnd extends downward.
Coronoid process of the mandible:Appears as a triangular radio-opaque structure projected into the same general area of max periapical film projections distal to the maxillary teeth.
![Page 44: Normal Radiographic Anatomical Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/554b1e74b4c90569098b52a5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The zygomatic process (green) is a U shaped rationality. Normally the Zygomatic bone posterior to this is very dense and radio-opaque. In this, however the max sinus has expanded into the zygomatic bone and makes the area more radiolucent (red). The coronoid process (orange), the pterygoid plates (blue) and the max tuberosity (pink) are also identified .
