Ch 18 perio Flashcards
What is the prediction or forecast of the extent and duration of disease and its response to tx
Prognosis
this is influenced by the pathogenesis of the disease and by individual pt factors, including overall health, risk factors and compliance
Prognosis
why is prognosis a major consideration in tx planning
all tx should be based on which intervention is expected to provide the best outcomes
is the expected outcome for the pt. It is determined on the basis of the specific risk factors that the individual pt presents
overall prognosis
why is healing and resolution of perio disease be altered for individuals with systemic diseases and conditions?
Because these pts respond differently to bacterial infection
individuals with this is less likely to follow the course of healing that one would expect- regeneration and repair of perio tissue over the days and weeks after tx
Systemic disease and conditions
overall prognosis is sometimes referred to as
global prognosis
once the overall prognosis is analyzed and determined, then what can be determined
individual tooth prognosis
To determine the overall case prognosis the following questions need to be addressed
- should tx be undertaken?
- Is tx likely to succeed (retain the teeth and provide good function)
- If prosthetic replacements will be made, can the periodontally treated teeth support the burden?
The dental hygienist must consider prognosis as either
short-term or long-term
This usually refers to survival of the teeth for 5 years or less
Short-term prognosis
The factors considered in making an overall prognosis for patients with periodontal disease include
- Age
- Systemic health
- Smoking
- Type of perio disease
- oral conditions (Including inflammation and bone levels)
- Attitude and perceptions of the pt
Usually involves assessing the likelihood of maintaining a tooth or teeth for a longer time frame (>5 years)
long-term prognosis
Many clinicians consider what the most critical factors in the lasting success of perio tx
The attitude, perceptions, and cooperation of the pt
What are some systemic diseases and conditions that influence the host ability to respond to perio disease
Diabetes, neutrophil defects, and factors associated with immunosuppression such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or organ transplantation
What are the global prognosis
- Excellent
- Good
- Far
- Poor
- Questionable
- Hopeless
Which global prognosis has no bone loss, excellent condition, no systemic considerations, good pt cooperation
Excellent
Which global prognosis adequate remaining perio support and ease of maintenance, adequate patient cooperation
Good
Which global prognosis is attachment loss and furcation involvement (Class 1), pt cooperation likely, systemic factors controlled
Fair
Which global prognosis is attachment loss and furcation involvement that can only be maintained with difficulty (Class 2 or 3 ), tooth mobility, presence of systemic factors
Poor
Which global prognosis has poor-crown to root ratio, poor root form, root proximity, Class 2 or 3 furcation, mobility, presence of systemic factors
Questionable
Which global prognosis has advanced bone loss, inadequate attachment, uncontrolled environmental/systemic factors, tooth should be extracted
Hopeless
This does not only affect the severity of disease but also the healing potential of the oral tissues.
Smoking
Pt who ___ do not respond as well to perio therapy
Smoke
what type of periodontitis is generally good to tx
Chronic periodontitis
The prognosis of the individual teeth is evalvated first on the basis of what?
the overall prognosis and then the status of each tooth
