The PDL appears as the periodontal space of 0.4 to 1.5 mm on radiographs, a radiolucent area between the radiopaque lamina dura of the alveolar bone proper and the radio opaque cementum.
yes,,periodontal ligament is located within periodontal space, which is located between the cementum and periodontal surface of alveolar bone...
The abbreviation for the periodontal ligament is PDL. Periodontal disease is very occasionally abbreviated to PD.
A protective obtundent covering of the gingival and periodontal tissues used after periodontal surgery to aid in a rapid recovery.

Periodontal ligament is the connective tissue that anchors the teeth to the jaw bone.
periodontal is of the gum and endodontic is of the root of the tooth itselt
Periodontal ligaments are connective tissue which hold teeth in place by attaching them to the alveolar bone.
Gingivitis is distinguished from periodontal disease (periodontitis) by the lack of periodontal attachment loss (PAL). PAL is determined by measuring the depth of the space between the tooth and gum (sulcus) with a dental probe, and by measuring the distance from the depth of the sulcus to the cemento-enamel junction, the point dividing the clinical crown from the root of the tooth. A probe depth of 3mm or less is typically considered to be normal. The deeper the depth, the more advanced the periodontitis. Gingivitis is simply inflamed gums with no loss of periodontal attachment. Once there is measurable loss of attachment, it is called periodontitis.
The difference between a gingival abscess and a periodontal abscess is that a gingival abscess is only in the soft gum tissue while a periodontal abscess extends into all of the gum tissue. A periodontal abscess can affect the roots of a tooth.
It depends on how bad the periodontal disease is. Treatment can be deep cleaning, deep cleaning with surgery and extractions.
