intrinsic staining (staining inside of tooth)

28
Q

primary factor to periodontal disease

a biofilm made of mucoid matter on teeth near the gingival margin

30
Q

mineralised plaque is.

A

calculus or tartar

31
Q

calculus helps periodontal disease by

A

making tooth surface more pourus for easier plaque adhesion

32

35
Q

grade 3 periodontal disease

A

moderate periodontitis with 25-50% attachment loss

36
Q

grade 4 periodontal disease

A

severe gingivitis with over 50% attachment loss

37
Q

3 appearances of grade 1 periodontal disease

  • oedema
  • tendency to bleed
38
Q

tissue destruction in peridontal disease causes

A

irreversible damage

39
Q

2 causes of tissue destruction in periodontal disease

A
  • gram -ve bacteria

- bodies immune response

40
Q

tissue destruction in periodontal disease causes (6)

A
  • periodontal pocket formation
  • gingival recession
