What are the objectives of a periodontal assessment?
- Provides a comprehensive picture of patients periodontal health status
- Determine health status
- Look for signs of inflammation and damage to periodontium
What are the fact gathering process?
- Baseline data for long term monitoring of periodontal disease activity
- Evaluate the success of periodontal treatment
- Accompanied by documentation of all clinical findings
- Needs to be performed on all patients
Reasons for periodontal documentation?
- Reference tool
- Record
- Educational resources
- Medical and legal document
What are the assessments in the clinical examination?
- Interview
- Extraoral/Intraoral
- Oral Hygiene
- Periodontal
- Dentition
- Radiographic
Describe the component of interview assessment
Medical History:
* Ensures safety of patient
* Aids clinician
* Verified with interview ans signature
Dental History:
* Chief complaint
* Acquire details necessary for diagnosis
* Past and present dental treatment
* Current oral hygiene practices
* Behavorial habits
* Attitude towards dentistry
Describe the component of Extra/Intra Oral assessment
Extroral
* Presence of pathology: Look, Feel, Listen, Smell
Intraoral
* Presence of Pathology: Oral mucosa, gingiva characterisitcs
Describe the component of Oral Hygiene assessment
- Plaque biofilm
- Calculus
- Tooth Surface topography
- Stain
Describe the component of Periodontal assessment
- Probe depth
- Clinical attachment level (CAL)
- Bleeding and suppuration
- Furcation detection and measurement
- Mucogingival considerations
- Tooth mobility and migration
- Fremitus
- Implications of implants
Describe the component of Dentition assessment
- Caries
- Restorations
- Overhanging margins
- Proximal contact relationships
- Tooth abnormalities
- Parafunctional habits
- Tooth wear
- Sensitivity or hypersensitivity
Describe the component of Radiographic assessment
- Interdental septa
- Bone destruction
- Furcation areas
- Dental implants
What are intrinsic stains
Fluorosis: too much fluoride over a period of time
Tetracycline: Medication
Minocycline: Medication
What are extrinsic stains and their associated causes?
Brown: Poor hygiene, Tannins and tobacco, Chlorhexidine, Stannous Fluoride
Green: Poor Hygiene, Enamel cuticle, Fluorescent bacteria and fungi
Black: Chromogenic bacteria, Ferric sulfide
Orange: Poor Hygiene, Chromogenic bacteria
What are the limitations of probing?
- Junctional Epithelium(JE) penetration/ puncture
- Probing Force
- Placement and Angulation variations
- Accuracy of depth
What are the etiology of recession?
- Multifactorial
- Anatomic variations
- Occlusal trauma
- Smoking or chewing tobacco
- Inflammatory periodontal disease
- Trauma induced by tooth brushing
- Ortho
- Crown margins
- RPD clasps
