Lint: periodontitis

Prefix Hyphens
warning

"The diagnosis can usually be made clinically. On clinical examination, there are gingival pockets surrounding the teeth, and bleeding on probing. Deeper pockets are associated with more advanced disease. Plain x-rays, i.e. orthopantomogram (OPG) and intra-oral x-rays, can be used to quantify the degree of bone loss and stage the disease according to agreed classification criteria."

Line 8:261 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'intra-oral'.

"Periodontal disease is typically diagnosed clinically and with the aid of intra-oral radiographs which display better image quality than an OPG. Follow up radiographs are often useful to assess the adequacy of treatment over time."
