Diagnosis Flashcards
Examination of teeth and dental implants to
evaluate the topography of the gingiva and related
structures; to measure probing depths, the width of
keratinized tissue, gingival recession, and attachment
level; to evaluate the health of the subgingival area
with measures such as bleeding on probing and
suppuration; to assess clinical furcation status; and
to detect endodontic–periodontal lesions.
• Assessment of the presence, degree, and/or distribution
of plaque/biofilm, calculus, and gingival inflammation.
Perio exam
Any tooth contact that inhibits the
remaining occluding surfaces from achieving
stable and harmonious contacts
Occlusal interferences
Three signs of ______
- Hypermobility of teeth not related to Periodontal disease.
- Excessive Wear
- Change in tooth position
Instability
Three signs of Instability
- Hypermobility of teeth not related to Periodontal disease.
- Excessive Wear
- Change in tooth position
Five Signs of _____
1. Tempromandibular Joints are healthy and
stable
2. All teeth are firm
3. No excessive wear
4. All teeth have stayed in their present position
5. Supporting Structures are healthy
Stability
Five requirements for _____
1. Stable TMJ
2. Anterior guidance in harmony with mandibular function
3. Non interfering posterior teeth
1. Equal intensity contacts in Centric Relation Occlusion (CRO) or Centric Occlusion (CO)
2. Posterior disclusion when condyles leave Centric Relation
4. All teeth in vertical harmony with contraction of elevator muscles.
5. All teeth in horizontal harmony with the neutral zone.
1. Neutral zone definition is the area where the forces exerted by the tongue are
balanced by the forces exerted by the musculature of the cheek and lips.
