what radiographs do you need for edentulous patient
pano
what radiograph do you need for partially edentulous pt
pano and PAs of remaining teeth
what radiograph do you need for dentulous pt with no hx of dental disease
no and 4 BWs, isolates PAs
what radiographs do you need for dentulous patients with hx of dental disease
FMX
what radiographs do you need for dentulous pt with history of dental dx and third molars
FMX and pano
what are the diagnostic tools for oral cancer screening
VELScope and brush biopsy
what is a perio exam
exam 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 elvel, the evaluate the health of the subgingival area with measures such as BOP and suppuration; to assess clinical furcation status; and to detech endodontic periodontal lesions
what does hard tissue exam charting include
- previous dental work
- positional conditions
- diagnostic conditions
- endodontic conditions
what does the occlusal exam consist of
- orthodontic classification
- occlusal interferences
- centric relation
what is the definition of occlusal interferences
any tooth contact that inhibits the remaining occluding surfaces from achieving stable and harmonious contacts
what are the 3 signs of instability
- hypermobility of teeth not related to periodontal disease
- excessive wear
- change in tooth position
