Pore size was not changed and bone density was consistently decreased in alveolar bone from patients with periodontal disease. Bone density increased with age in normal alveolar bone, and lacunar-canalicular volume decreased with age in both normal and diseased alveolar bones. Normal rat femur showed similar age-related changes.
