Angular type of bone resorption is seen more often in which condition?

Angular bone resorption is characterized by a specific pattern of bone loss around the teeth, primarily affecting the alveolar bone, which supports the teeth. This type of resorption is often associated with periodontal diseases, particularly periodontosis, which is a form of periodontal disease that leads to the progressive loss of connective tissue and bone around teeth.

In periodontosis, the underlying pathophysiological processes involve bacterial infection and inflammation that result in the breakdown of the periodontal tissues, including the supporting bone. The angular pattern of bone loss is indicative of the areas where the periodontal attachment has been destroyed, leading to distinct bone contours around the teeth. This makes periodontosis the condition in which angular bone resorption is most commonly observed.

The other conditions, such as occlusal traumatism, food particle retention, and gingivitis, can involve different types of bone changes and tissue responses, but they do not typically lead to the pronounced angular bone loss seen in periodontosis. For example, occlusal traumatism may cause more generalized bone loss or changes in bone density rather than a specific angular pattern, while gingivitis primarily affects the soft tissues without leading to significant bone loss.
