TL;DR

The surface morphology of the pocket area of extracted, periodontally involved, human teeth was studied with steromicroscope and the width of the plaque-free zone was found to decrease as the pocket depth and loss of attachment increase.

Abstract

The surface morphology of the pocket area of extracted, periodontally involved, human teeth was studied with steromicroscope. A plaque-free zone was found to be present in all specimens. The width of the plaque-free zone was found to decrease as the pocket depth and loss of attachment increase.
