The aim of this study was to access the effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT), on the bone density and alveolar bone height (ABH), in patients with periodontitis, using direct digital radiographs. One hundred one sites in nineteen patients (mean age 36 ± 7.3 years) were accompanied on day 0, and 90 and 180 days after the TPNC. The clinical scores of probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing and plaque index were registered and digital radiographs were taken. The density was accessed considering the bone regions of interest at the alveolar bone crest (ROI I) and the medullar bone (ROI II). The ABH measured the distance between the alveolar bone crest and the cementoenamel junction. The deep sites (PPD &#8805; 5mm) presented a clinical improvement (p <0.01), accompanied by an increase in bone density at ROI I (p <0.01). ROI II showed an increase in density at sites with PPD &#8804; 3mm in patients with aggressive periodontitis (p <0.05). However, there was a decrease in density in sites with PPD &#8805; 5mm of the same patients (p <0.03). The ABH didn´t change after TPNC. After non-surgical periodontal treatment, the direct digital radiographs showed a significant increase in bone crest density of deep sites in patients with periodontitis. Moreover, the reduction in the probing pocket depth and the increase in the attachment level were not followed by changes in alveolar bone height in these sites.
