The Nabers 1N and 2N are types of?
furcation probes
The term “pocket” refers to
diseased gingival sulcus
A pocket is measured from _____ to _____
base of sulcus (Junctional epi)
gingival margin
Gingival and Periodontal infections start in the _____ area most frequently
Col
Where is the probe depth “usually” the biggest
interproximally
The general objectives of probing are ____ and _____
accuracy
consistency
When the probe tip is within the junctional epi that is termed
gingivitis and early perio
When the probe tip can pass through the junctional epi and reaches attached connective tissue this is termed
Advanced Peio
How much pressure is needed when probing
10-20g
Initial Insertion of the probe is done where
at the distal line angle (facial and lingual)
Probing depth is _______ then the clinical attachment level when there is visible recession and the CEJ is visible
smaller
Probing depth is ______ than the clinical attachment level when the CEJ is covered with free gingiva
greater
the probing depth ______ the clinical attachment level when the free gingiva is level with the CEJ
equal
The furcation can be accessed _____ or ____for MN molars (bifurcated roots)
facial
lingual
The furcation can be accessed _____ or ____ for MX first premolars (bifurcated roots)
mesial
distal
The furcation can be accessed ______ or ____ or ______ on MX molars
mesial
buccal
distal
The tension test is used to detect adequacy of the width of the _______
attached gingiva
How do you measure the width of the attached gingiva
measure total gingiva (from margin to MGJ) then measure the pobe depth and subtract.
