Radiography will identify lesions that are localized to the root surfaces within the [[Enamel Organ#Alveolar Bone|alveolar bone]], which would not be detected by clinical methods. Radiography is also required to confirm the diagnosis and to assess the extent and  type of the lesion. Radiographs often reveal a lesion that is more advanced than originally suspected from the clinical examination. <font color="red">PicTR7</font color>
