A
Ledge
B
Crater
C
Intrabony defect
D
Reverse architecture
High-Yield Explanation
Reversed Architecture Reverse (or negative) alveolar bone architecture is the result of a loss  of  interdental  bone,  without  a  concomitant  loss  of  radicular (buccal or lingual/palatal) bone, thereby reversing the normal (or positive)  architecture .  Negative  architecture  is  more common in the maxilla of patients with periodontitis. Ledges Ledges are plateau-like bone margins that are caused by the resorption of thickened bony plates . Osseous Craters Osseous craters are a specific type of two-wall defect; they present as concavities in the crest of the interdental bone that is confined within the facial and lingual walls. Craters have been found to make up about one-third (35.2%) of all defects and about two-thirds (62%) of all mandibular defects; they occur twice as often in posterior segments as in anterior segments.
