diagnosis of periodontitis Flashcards
what is included in the visual inspection for periodontal disease
Probe deapth
Bleeding on probing
Clinical attachment level
gingival inflammation(red and swelling)
what lab tests are done for periodontal disease
Biochem
Microbio
X-rays genetic
what are the non-invasive tooths for periodontal disease
NIR
OCT
ultrasound
what are the non-invasive tools for perio disease used for
More for reaserch
what does diagonisis of perio disease depend on
Clinical manifestations (periodontal examination and radiographs)
what tets are done in a perio exam
checking for signs of inlfmmation Plaque index Gingival index Perio probe(PD, BOP, Clinical attachment level) Tooth mobility Furcation involvement
what do we use X-rays for when diagnosing perio disease
Look at bone loss
what are the molecular methods for periodontal exams
host and genetic markers (saliva, and GCF)
- main focus
Micobial testing (plaque and saliva)
what are the types of micrbio testing
Bacterial culturing Direct Microscopy Immunodiagnostic methods Enzymatic methods Molecular biology techniques
where do we get Biochemical analysis solution from for perio disease
GCF
Saliva
Serum (blood)
how does genetics affect periodontal disease
usually a genetic susceptibility to perio disease
- gene polymorphism as a risk factor
what does probe deapth depend on
Gignival inflammation insertion force Placement and angulation Size Probing tech Probe caliration Presence of subgingival calculus- hard to penetrate Overhanging restorations
problem with using probing for perio disease
Lack of sensitivity and reproducability
what is the problem with using clinical attachment level to diagnose perio disease
Poor reliability and reproducibility
Limited practical value
problem with radiograph for diagnosing perio disease
Limited sensitivity in small bone change
no value in evaluating disease activity or progression
what change in bone needs to occur for Radiograph to know
30%-50% of demineralization
-subtraction radiography is 5% change
