chapter 21 Flashcards
To provide individual assessment to help a patient recognize an oral problem.
Individual assessment score
To determine baseline data before experimental factors are introduced.
is planned to determine the effect of an agent or a procedure on the prevention, progression, or control of a disease.
clinical trial
To determine the prevalence and incidence of a particular condition occurring within a given population.
study of disease characteristics of populations rather than individuals.
Epidemiologic Survey
To assess the needs of a community.
To help plan community-based health promotion/disease prevention programs
community surveillance
measures the presence or absence of a condition.
An example is the biofilm index that measures the presence of dental biofilm without evaluating its effect on the gingiva.
simple index
measures all the evidence of a condition, past and present. An example is the DMFT index for dental caries.
cumulative index
Types of Simple and Cumulative Indices
-irreversible index
-reversible index
measures conditions that will not change. An example is an index that measures dental caries experience.
irreversible index
To assess the thickness of biofilm at the gingival area.

This index was historically known as plaque index
biofilm index
areas examined in biofilm index
distal
facial
mesial
lingual
what is the biofilm score :
A film of biofilm adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth.
The biofilm may be recognized only after application of disclosing agent or by running the explorer across the tooth surface.
biofilm score: 1
what is the biofilm score:
Moderate accumulation of soft deposits within the gingival pocket that can be seen with the naked eye or on the tooth and gingival margin.
2
what is the biofilm score :
Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the tooth and gingival margin.
3
To record the presence of dental biofilm on individual tooth surfaces to permit the patient to visualize progress while learning biofilm control.

This index was previously known as the plaque control record.
biofilm control record
when the patient has reached a __ % level of biofilm control or better, necessary additional periodontal and restorative procedures may be initiated
10
To determine the location, number, and percentage of biofilm-free surfaces for individual motivation and instruction. Interdental bleeding can also be documented.
.
.
.
.
This index was historically called the plaque-free score.
biofilm free score
Evaluate biofilm-free score: Ideally, 100% is the goal. When a patient maintains a percentage under __%, check individual surfaces to determine whether biofilm is usually left in the same areas.
85
To assess the EXTENT of biofilm and debris over a tooth surface.
Patient Hygiene Performance
To assess oral cleanliness by estimating the tooth surfaces covered with debris and/or calculus.
Simplified Oral Hygiene Index
Bleeding on gentle probing or flossing is an early sign of _____ inflammation and precedes color changes and enlargement of gingival tissues.
gingival
Bleeding on probing is an indicator of the progression of _______ disease,
periodontal
To assess the state of periodontal health of an individual patient.
Periodontal Screening and Recording
To screen and monitor the periodontal status of populations.
Community Periodontal Index
To locate areas of gingival sulcus bleeding and color changes in order to recognize and record the presence of early (initial) inflammatory gingival disease.
Sulcus Bleeding Index
To record the presence or absence of gingival inflammation as determined by bleeding from interproximal gingival sulci.
Gingival Bleeding Index
To assess the presence of inflammation in the interdental area as indicated by the presence or absence of bleeding.
Eastman Interdental Bleeding Index
To assess the severity of gingivitis based on color, consistency, and bleeding on probing.
gingival index
this data is most useful when measuring the prevalence of dental disease in groups rather than individuals.
dental caries experience
To determine total dental caries experience, past and present, by recording either the number of affected teeth OR tooth surfaces.
DMFT
Permanent Dentition: Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth or Surfaces
To determine dental caries experience for children. Only primary teeth are evaluated.
Primary Dentition: Decayed, Missing, and Filled
case definitions that determine dental caries experience of children 5 years of age or younger.
Early Childhood Caries
To determine total root caries experience for individuals and groups and provide a direct, simple method for recording and making comparisons.
Root Caries Index
To measure the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis.
Dean’s Fluorosis Index
To measure the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis.
More sensitive than Dean’s index in identifying the mildest signs of fluorosis.
Tooth Surface Index of Fluorosis
To collect comprehensive data on oral health status and dental treatment needs of a population.
This system is suitable for surveying both adults and children.
WHO basic screening survery
Developed by the ASTDD to provide oral screening for adult, school age, and/or preschool populations.
ASTDD Basic Screening Survey
