Clinical Assessment of Periodontal Disease Flashcards
Describe the dental hygiene process of care.
ADPIE
Assessment Dental Hygiene Diagnosis Planning Implementation Evaluation
Discuss the elements that make up the “assessment”
phase.
- Med hx
- Social hx
- Family hx
- Dental hx
- Chief Complaint (CC)
- EO/IO
- Dental Examination
- Periodontal Examination
- Must use open ended questions and have follow up questions that address “yes” Answers
Explain how different items on med hx, social hx,
dental hx, CC, and examinations can affect
periodontal disease
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
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
- 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
Dental Evaluation
What might we see that would affect perio?
- Teeth
- Attrition, abfraction, erosion -Malpositioning
- Restorations
- Decay
- Stain
- Appliances
- Hypersensitivity
These can contribute to perio due to overhangs, recurrent decay, appliances hard to clean.

Gingival Description
- Anything from the med hx or social history that may come into play here… picture not shown but it was gingival hyperplasia from medicatios
- Color
- Consistency
- Contour
- Size
Periodontal assessment provides the ____ for __-term monitoring of periodontal disease activity
Outcomes evaluation to measure success after periodontal therapy
baseline long-term
Periodontal Examination is completed typically ___- ____ times a year
1-4
For periodontal maintenance patients: Complete periodontal charting at every appointment- This may vary form office to office
For healthy patients: complete periodontal charting at least __ yearly
At other visits ___ screening may be used to determine if complete charting is needed- if a __ or above is scored, then complete charting is indicated
Research has shown that usually screening and documentation is ___ **
1
3
PSR
** INADEQUATE
THE PSR is a periodontal assessment used to determine the periodontal health status of a patient and determine if a more ____ examination is indicated
complete
THE PSR exam take __-__ mins
Uses the __ probe ( has a __ tip and a colored band that marks __ - ___ mm
Mouth divided into __
All sites are probed on each tooth, but only the __ probing depth is scored and recorded
2-3minutes PSR ball tip 3.5-5.5mm sextants deepest
Colored band is completely visible; no bleeding; no calculus; no roughness
Code 0
Colored band is completely visible; bleeding; no calculus or roughness
Code 1
Colored band is completely visible; bleeding; calculus and/or roughness
Code 2
Colored band is partially visible (3.5-5.5 mm PD)
Code 3
Colored band is not visible (5.5mm or greater PD)
Code 4
PSR * next to score
Furcation, mobility, mucogingival involement or recession
When scoring a __ or __ then a comprehensive charting is indicated
3 or 4
current or ongoing loss
of soft tissue attachment, specifically destruction of
gingival fibers and apical migration of JE, with
subsequent bone loss
Periodontal Disease Activity
Disease activity is typically seen in periods of ____ followed by periods of quiescence (inactivity)
exacerbation (worsening)
most commonly used physical
screening method for measuring the depth of the
gingival sulcus and the clinical attachment level
Periodontal Probing
Distance from the gingival margin to the base of the sulcus
Probing Depth
