Abstrakt: 138 males and 231 females between the ages of 20 and 49 years received periodontal examinations in the Periodontia Clinic of New York University College of Dentistry and were grouped according to age and sex. Periodontal pocket depths were recorded around each individual tooth present. The computation analysis of the measurement at 33,204 periodontal pockets was calculated by establishing the significance of "t" and F's values for the variations in periodontal pocket depths. It was noted that the depth of the periodontal pockets at interproximal areas was significantly different from the depth of the periodontal pockets at buccal and/or lingual areas. Comparisons further indicated the direction of significant difference to be toward deeper interproximal pockets at maxillary and mandibular teeth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
