How does the two-dimensional nature of radiographs limit their utility as a diagnostic aid?
What will be an ideal response?
Radiographs document the height and width of structures but do not demonstrate the third dimension of depth, which results in bone and tooth structures being superimposed on each other. This superimposition of structures may hide bone loss on the buccal and lingual plates and furcation involvement of posterior multirooted teeth.
