A 3-year study by Rams et al⁶⁷ concluded that the presence of radiographic crestal lamina dura is positively associated with clinically stable periodontal status in interproximal sites. On the other hand, the absence of crestal lamina dura cannot be used as a predictor for periodontal disease recurrence due to its low positive predictive value.⁶⁷ Greenstein et al⁶⁸ performed a cross-sectional study to investigate the potential relationship between the crestal lamina dura and clinical signs of inflammation, PD, BOP, and attachment loss. No association could be established based on the study findings.⁶⁸
