Traditional radiographic tools are ineffective for identifying the areas of ongoing tissue degradation, tracking the effectiveness of treatment, and assessing susceptibility to further periodontal disease. To get around these restrictions, different modalities have been developed, including graphic diagnostic methods used in periodontics
