Some practitioners prefer to expose radiographs used for the purpose of recording information regarding the periodontium at a lower kVp setting because of the high contrast it will produce

False. A higher kVp setting will result in an image that has a low contrast: black and white with many shades of gray in between. Because bone changes that accompany periodontal diseases appear as a radiolucency within the radiopaque bone, a low-contrast image is preferred by some practitioners for imaging these early signs of bone destruction.
