It is saying some areas have healed and some are still healing.
Hypodense means bone density is less which will recover with time.
Hyper sense means there is more density suggestive of RCT fillings.
There is generalized bone loss between two teeth so you should do ultrasonic scaling every 6 months to avoid further loss.

Follow and wait as per your working dentist's instructions.
