Q

Explain how different items on med hx, social hx,
dental hx, CC, and examinations can affect
periodontal disease

A

Med Hx: Uncontrolled diseases, diabeties
Social Hx: What their habits are? Drinking/Smoking/Vaping
Dental Hx: Frequeny of snacking, brushing/flossing, careis risks
CC: CC can give us an idea of what is going on.. such as sensitivity of pain

Q

EO/IO

  • Lymphadenopathy what does this tell us
  • How might this relate to perio?
  • Gingival Discription- what does this tell us?
  • How might he medical hx or social hx affect what we might see
A
  • Infection of the lymph nodes
  • The Mandible or maxilla nodes may be swollen from infection from perio
  • The gingival description tells us weather the gingiva is healthy or not
  • Medical history.. certain diseases to show signs in the mouth and social history of smoking may show loss of color in gingiva

Q

Dental Evaluation

What might we see that would affect perio?

A
  • Teeth —
  • Attrition, abfraction, erosion — -Malpositioning —
  • Restorations —
  • Decay —
  • Stain —
  • Appliances —
  • Hypersensitivity

These can contribute to perio due to overhangs, recurrent decay, appliances hard to clean.

Q

Factors that Affect Probing

A

  • Variation in placement
  • Site of probing —
  • Probe size, type of probe —
  • Tooth anatomy —
  • Presence of calculus — -Visibility —
  • Patient discomfort
31
Q

Probe is ___. Spot probing is not sufficient. Most errors occur on ____ readings

A

walked

interproximal

32
Q

Probing:
Posterior: probe is angled into the _
Anterior probe is parallel to the long axis of tooth
Facial and lingual surfaces probe is paraellel to the long axis

Q

Clinical Attachment LEVELS

A

  • Distance from CEJ to gingival margin
CAL= PD+Recession
CAL= PD-Amount of gingival overgrowth

Q

**A patient has clinical attachment loss when there is periodontitis with __ migration of the __

A

apical

junctional epithelium

35
Q

Determination of attachment loss is part of __

A

Clinical attachement level

gingival margin apical to the CEJ à root is now
exposed

A

Gingival recession

37
Q

Causes of Gingival Recession

A

trauma, orthodontic
movement, dental procedures, crown margins, clasps
from RPDs, periodontal disease, periodontal
therapy, oral habits (nail biting, aggressive
brushing), anatomic variations (frenum pull)

Q

the relationship between the mucogingival junction
and the free gingival margin — Usually, there is no attached gingiva remaining

A

Mucogingival involvement (defect)

39
Q

Determining the amount of attached gingiva:

A
  1. Measure the amount of keratinized gingiva (FGM
    to MGJ)– now known as Keratinized Tissue Width
    (KTW)
  2. Subtract the probing depth from this measurement
  3. The result is the amount of attached gingiva
