BSP guidelines Flashcards
Define an engaging patient.
- Improvement of OH
- Plaque and bleeding decrease of 50%
or
Meeting their own personal care plan.
What are the 2 risk factors for periodontitis?
Smoking and poorly controlled diabetes.
Which stage corresponds to 15% or less bone loss?
Stage I
Which stage corresponds to bone levels at the coronal third of the root?
Stage II
Which stage corresponds to bone levels at the middle 1/3 of the root?
Stage III
Which stage corresponds to bone level at the apical third of the root?
Stage IV
How would you work out the grade of periodontitis?
Percentage Bone Loss / Pt Age
What grade periodontitis would a 56 y/o patient with 60% bone loss be?
Grade C
What grade would an 85 y/o patient with 35% bone loss be?
Grade A
If a patient has less than 10% BoP and pocket depths of ≤4mm, what would their status be?
Currently Stable
If a pt has more than 10% BoP and pocket depths of ≤4mm with no bleeding at sites, what would their status be?
Currently in Remission
If a patient had pocket depths of ≤4mm with BoP, what would their status be?
Unstable
How would you work out pack years?
Number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day x years smoked for.
Which radiographs can be taken to aid perio diagnosis?
PAs or OPGs
BPEs of 1 and bleeding of 20%?
Localised gingivitis.
Clinically, what BPEs of 1 and bleeding score of 8% suggest?
Gingival Health
What would BPEs of 1/2 with a bleeding score of 36% be classed as?
Generalised GIngivitis
What would BPEs of 2 with a bleeding score of 5% be classed as?
Gingival Health requiring supra PMPR of sites with 2s.
Why is it better to perform extensive sub over multiple sessions?
- Builds up pt and operator rapport.
- Reduces the amount of bacteria in the blood at one time which may lead to problems like bacterial endocarditis.
BPE code 0
Healthy gingival tissues, no bleeding.
BPE code 1
Pockets less than 3.5mm with BoP.
Black band entirely visible.
BPE code 2
Pockets less than 3.5mm with calculus present.
Black band entirely visible.
BPE code 3
Pocket depths between 3.5-5.5mm.
Black band partially visible.
BPE code 4.
Probing depth greater than 5.5mm.
Black band disappears, indicating a pocket of 6mm or more.
What does the * mean in relation to BPE?
Furcation involvement.
What is Grade I furcation?
Horizontal bone loss less than 3mm.
What is grade II furcation involvement?
Horizontal bone loss greater than 3mm.
What is grade III furcation involvement?
Through and through movement.
Which probe is used to measure furcation?
Naber’s Probe
curved, in 3mm increments
Grade I mobility?
≤1mm horizontal movement
Grade II Mobility
≥ 1mm horizontal movement
Grade III Mobility
Horizontal and vertical movement.
What is suppuration?
Pus discharging from pocket, indicating a periapical abscess.
