Abstract
An accurate method is presented for the determination of the area of the periodontal ligament attached to teeth. This method requires the use of digitizing equipment for an accurate determination of tooth cross sections and a digital computer for final manipulation of the area calculations. The procedure is general and is not restricted to single-rooted teeth.Keywords
