چکیده
Alveolar bone loss and the duration of untreated disease were compared in 3 1 patients with lepromatous leprosy. In general , those patients with the longest confirmed untreated disease also had the greatest alveolar bone loss in the anterior maxi l la . These data , taken together wi th previous observations, suggest that early detection and uninterrupted treatment of lepromatous patients will reduce the osseous deformities of the disease.
