A PTG demonstrating frequent pathological conditions of teeth and periodontal (bony supportive) structures: 1. Carious lesions [dentine caries d. 37 distocervically, d. 47 distocervially, 48 occlusally and enamel caries d. 25 mesially (dashed arrows)]; bitewing radiography would be helpful for caries diagnostics. 2. Partially, mesioangulary erupted dd. 38, 48 and chronic pericoronitis with sclerosing osteitis next to d. 38 crown. 3. Alveolar bone loss in the region of dd. 37 and 47 distally associated with partially erupted dd. 38, 48 (arrows). 4. Calculus deposit best visible in dd. 12, 21 (arrows). 5. Dd. 17, 14 with inadequate root fillings; apical periodontitis of d. 17 (arrow) cannot be excluded and a periapical radiography is indicated. Also opacity of the floor of the right maxillary sinus is suspected
