Q

What happens during the growth and maturation stage of oral biofilm?

A

Adherent bacteria secrete extracellular polysaccharides to form a water-insoluble slime matrix. The matrix is sticky and facilitates microbial adhesion

Q

What happens during the dispersion stage of oral biofilm?

A

Bacteria within the interior of the oral biofilm slow their growth and become static, deep within the oral biofilm bacteria show signs of death but surface bacteria remain intact. Some bacteria detach and relocate to form in great amounts.

21
Q

Green extrinsic stains

A

Caused by chromogenic bacteria and fungi from poor OH, can’t be scaled because of demineralized enamel, remove with toothbrush or light polish, hydro. perox.

22
Q

Black extrinsic stains

A

Caused by iron in saliva, exposure to iron or iron-containing oral solutions, can be scaled because of calculus like nature and selectively polished

23
Q

Black-line extrinsic stain

A

Most common in middle aged women with good OH, 1mm band, associated with bacteria and iron in saliva, scale and polish selectively

24
Q

Orange extrinsic stain

A

Caused by chromogenic bacteria from poor OH, scale and polish selectively

25
Q

Brown extrinsic stain

A

caused by tobacco, tars from smoking, chewing, food/beverage, tannins, scale and polish selectively

26
Q

Brown extrinsic stain (chemotherapeutic agents)

A

Caused by stannous fluoride, chlorohexidine, or cetylpyridinium chloride mouth rinses, scale and polish selectively

27
Q

Gray/brown/green extrinsic stain

A

caused by marijuana, scale and polish selectively

28
Q

Yellow extrinsic stain

A

caused by oral biofilm, have pt. remove during toothbrushing

29
Q

Blue-green extrinsic stain

A

Caused by mercury and lead dust, scale and polish selectively

30
Q

Red-black extrinsic stain

A

Chewing betel nut, found in S. Asian cultures, cale and polish selectively

31
Q

Dental fluorosis (intrinsic)

A

Caused by excessive fluoride ingestion during enamel development, cannot be removed by scaling or polishing.

32
Q

Enamel hypocalcification (intrinsic)

A

Caused by high fever during enamel formation, cannot be removed by scaling or polishing

33
Q

Demineralization

A

Acid erosion of the enamel caused by oral biofilm, cannot be removed via scaling or polishing, rec. 0.5% sodium fluoride rinses for remineralization

34
Q

Tetracycline staining (intrinsic)

A

Use of tetracycline during tooth development, cannot be removed via scaling or polishing

35
Q

What materials are recommended for deposit assessments?

A

Light, compressed air, mouth mirror, periodontal explorer, gauze, disclosing solution

36
Q

Oral hygiene indices measure and accomplish what?

A
  • Establish a baseline for OH and monitor progress, motivate patient
  • Survey OH status within a population
  • Eval. an intervention i.e. drug, device, etc.
  • Monitor and establish baseline for OH in a target population
37
Q

Criteria for an effective dental index

A
  • Simple to use
  • Minimal discomfort to patient
  • Time efficient
  • Cost effective
  • Statistically valid
  • Translates clinical descriptions to numeric values on a graduated scale
38
Q

Oral Debris Index DI-S scoring 0

A

No debris or stain present

39
Q

Oral Debris Index DI-S scoring 1

A

Soft debris covers one-third or less of the tooth surface being examined or extrinsic stains without debris are present, regardless of surface area covered.

40
Q

Oral Debris Index DI-S scoring 2

A

Soft debris covers more than one-third of the area being examined but not more than two-thirds of the exposed tooth surface

41
Q

Oral Debris Index DI-S scoring 3

A

Soft debris covers more than two-thirds of the exposed tooth surface

42
Q

Calculus Index CI-S scoring 0

A

No calculus present

43
Q

Calculus Index CI-S scoring 1

A

Supragingival calculus covers one-third or less of the exposed tooth surface being examined.

44
Q

Calculus Index CI-S scoring 2

A

Supragingival calculus covers more than one-third but not more than two-thirds of the exposed tooth surface, or individual flecks of subgingival calculus are around the cervical portion of the tooth.

45
Q

Calculus Index CI-S scoring 3

A

Supragingival calculus covers more than two-thirds of the exposed tooth surface, or continuous heavy band of subgingival calculus is present around the cervical portion of the tooth

46
Q

Interpretation of DI-S and CI-S scores

A
  • 0.0 = excellent
  • 0.1-0.6 = good OH
  • 0.7-1.8 = fair OH
  • 1.9-3.0 = poor OH
47
Q

Plaque Control Record

A

Records the presence of plaque on all individual tooth surfaces, enabling the patient to monitor progress over time.

48
Q

Plaque-Free Score

A

Measures the location, number, and percentage of plaque-free surfaces in the entire mouth.

49
Q

Plaque Index (PI)

A

Assesses the thickness of oral biofilm at the gingival area and general oral biofilm accumulation

50
Q

Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP)

A

Assess the extent of oral biofilm and debris over a tooth surface as an indication of oral cleanliness
