The periodontal ligament (PDL) can be seen on a radiograph as a thin radiolucent line surrounding the roots of the teeth. This line represents the space between the root cementum and the alveolar bone, where the PDL fibers attach the tooth to the bone. The visibility of the PDL may vary depending on the quality of the radiograph and the position of the teeth. In healthy conditions, the PDL appears uniform and well-defined; any changes may indicate periodontal disease or other dental issues.
