No bone attachment is evident on the radiograph therefore the tooth was likely to be very mobile. WikiVet Article: Radiographic Interpretation of Periodontal Disease - Small Animal Incorrect. 409 is the first mandibular molar, the large tooth on the radiograph. The mesial side shows bone loss and is therefore likely to represent a probing depth on clinical examination. WikiVet Article: Radiographic Interpretation of Periodontal Disease - Small Animal Incorrect. 410 is the second molar. There is bone loss all around the tooth so it is likely that there was evidence of probing depth on clinical examination.

There is a good bone fill between the roots on the radiograph of the 409, first mandibular molar, so it is unlikely that furcation exposure was evident on clinical examination.
