T/F Patients requiring periodontal surgical therapy should undergo nonsurgical therapy first.
True
It is important to retrain the patient in _______ procedures if the assessment findings show a moderate amount of generalized supragingival plaque biofilm and inadequate daily oral self-care
Oral self care
Who is all involved in nonsurgical therapy measures?
DDS, RDH, and the patient
Successful periodontal instrumentation will result in what?
Root surface and pocket space acceptable to tissue so healing occurs
The master periodontal treatment plan is a sequential outline of the measures to be carried out by the dentist, the dental hygienist, and the patient to eliminate disease and ____________
restore a healthy periodontal environment
Who plays an important role in planning for nonsurgical periodontal therapy?
The dental hygienist
Non surgical therapy should be planned for all patients with?
dental biofilm associated gingivitis
Stage I and stage II periodontitis
To reassess tissue response and healing after periodontal instrumentation, RDH should schedule a re-eval appointment in…..

T/F The RDH does NOT make a definitive periodontal diagnosis but DOES make a periodontal diagnosis statement.
True
Who has a legal responsibility to arrive at a periodontal diagnosis for every patient?
The RDH
T/F Clinical attachment loss is moderate stage II disease
False
T/F Disease is stage IV and includes up to 8 mm of attachment loss in multiple teeth with many missing teeth
True
T/F An outdated old school of thought is that bacteria and toxins are firmly embedded in cementum, so it is necessary to remove the cementum during periodontal instrumentation using firm pressure with many, many scraping strokes to convert a root surface from a site of disease to one of health.
True
What is the definition of Root planning according to the ADA procedure code?
Removing rough cementum or dentin that is impregnated with calculus or toxins.
