Q

name and describe the basic periodontal pocket types

A
  • false pockets: base of pocket at/coronal to ACJ (no LOA)

- true pockets: base of pocket is apical/below ACJ (LOA present)

Q

when are plaque & bleeding + double periodontal charts recorded?

A

after an initial BPE or 5 point exam that indicates significant active periodontal disease is present, which requires more complex management

Q

at which points of treatment are double periodontal pocket charts recorded? what does each recording determine?

A

pre-treatment: initial charts recorded to determine periodontal diagnosis and treatment plan

post-treatment: reassessment charts to determine treatment outcome. comparison with pre-treatment chart shows show perio measurements have changed during treatment

Q

angulation of probing: how should probe be positioned for accurate pocket measurements?

A

probe should be parallel with root surface

- consider 3D anatomy of root

20
Q

what are the 5 clinical indicators of periodontal disease?

A
  • pocket depths
  • BOP
  • mobility
  • furcation involvement
  • LOA
21
Q

famous 5: pocket depths

pockets =/>4mm, what to record?

A
  • which teeth
  • how deep
  • which surfaces
22
Q

famous 5: BOP

how is BOP recorded?

A

record:
which teeth
which sites (surfaces)

23
Q

famous 5: mobility

recorded with which index? recorded as?

A
  • miller’s index
  • recorded as:
    which teeth, how mobile (miller’s degree)
24
Q

famous 5: furcation

how is furcation recorded?

A

which teeth
which site
which grade

25
Q

famous 5: LOA

how is LOA recorded?

A

which teeth
which surface
severity (mm)

26
Q

what leads to overestimation in periodontal pocket depth?

A
  • excessive probing force
  • periodontal probe too sharp
  • incorrect angulation
  • pocket inflammation (collagen loss, reduced resistance to probing)
27
Q

what leads to underestimation of periodontal pocket depth?

A
  • insufficient probing force
  • obstructions: calculus, overhangs
  • root morphology
  • periodontal probe too thick
  • patient tolerance
  • incorrect angulation (extreme)
