determination of prognosis Flashcards
what is a prognosis?
prediction of the probable course, duration, and outcome of a disease
T/F a prognosis is dynamic
True
T/F prognosis is also called risk
False. prognosis is often confused with risk
what is risk?
the likelihood that an individual will develop a disease
what are risk factors?
environmental, behavior, or biologic factors that put an individual at increased risk for developing a disease
what are risk factors for periodontitis?
smoking
diabetes
pathogenic bacteria
what are examples of non-modifiable risk factors
genetic factors
age
what are risk indicators?
probable or putative risk factors (not confirmed through longitudinal studies; e.g. HIV/AIDS, osteoporosis, infrequent dental visits)
what are risk predictors?
assoc with inccreased risk for disease, but do not cause disease (e.g. bleeding on probing, previous history of periodontal disease)
what is a prognosis?
a rdiction of probable course of disease
what are prognostic factors?
characteristics that predict the outcome of disease once disease is present (e.g. furcation involvement)
sometimes something may be both a __________ and a __________
Risk factor, prognostic factor
e.g. smoking, diabetes (increased risk for aquiring periodontitis and worse prognosis once they have periodontitis)
what are the types of perio prognosis?
good
fair
poor
questionable
hopeless
what kind of attachment and bone loss is present is good prognosis?
no or slight attachement and bone loss
T/F with good prognosis there are no systemic or environmental factors
true
with good prognosis can you use the tooth as an abutment tooth?
yes
what kind of bone loss is present with a fair prognosis?
moderate (25%) attachment and bone loss
with a fair prognosis what kind of mobility is there?
CL I mobility
what kind of furcation involvement is assoc. with fair prognosis?
Degree I furcation involvement
T/F with a fair prognosis there is no systemic or environmental factors
False, (limited systemic or environmental factors)
with a fair prognosis can you use the tooth as an abutement tooth?
yes, but with caution
what type of attachment and bone loss is present with poor prognosis?
severe (50%)
what kind of crown root ratio would be present in poor prognosis?
poor (greater than 1:1)
what kind of mobility is present with a poor prognosis
CL II mobility
what kind of furcation involvement is assoc with poor prognosis?
Degree II
T/F with a poor prognosis, systemic and environmental factors are not controlled
True
