Charting and Exam

Question 1

Healthy vs Diseased:
color
consistency
size
form-margins
form-papillae
texture
stippling
BOP/supp

Answer 1

color: pink, erythemetous
consistency: firm, spongy
size: normal, enlarged
form-margins: knife-edged, rolled
form-papillae: pyramidal, blunted
texture: normal, smooth
stipping: present, absent
BOP: absent, present

Question 2

severe gingival inflammation vs moderate?

Answer 2

ulceration, spontaneous bleeding

Question 3

Probing depth defined as?

Answer 3

gingival margin to where tip stops

Question 4

6 sites of probing?

Answer 4

mesiobuccal
mid buccal
distobuccal
mesiolingual
mid lingual
distolingual

Question 5

Free gingival margin

Answer 5

distance from probing depth to CEJ

Question 6

Clinical attachment loss

Answer 6

distance from CEJ to base of crevice
without recession is probing depth - CEJ to margin
with recession is probing depth + cej to margin

Question 7

What is relative attachment level?

Answer 7

no CEJ detectable so distance of landmark to baes of crevice

Question 8

Furcation values?

Answer 8

1 - incipient
2 - moderate
3 - through and through
4- through and through with recession

Question 9

Biggest criticism of furcation classification?

Answer 9

2 moderate is huge range, can have different prognoses and therapies

Question 10

General prognosis guideline for furcation?

Question 11

Mucogingival defect - definition

Answer 11

amount of attached gingiva insufficient - free gingival margin moves when lip stretched or instrument pushes

Question 12

Mobility grades?

Answer 12

1: 1mm B-L
3: >1mm B-L and vertical

Question 13

what is fremitus?

Answer 13
