Exam 2; Periodontal Indices Flashcards
What two things aid in identification of disease
assessment of inflammation and loss of periodontal tissue support
What three things can be combined with initial treatment
recall
periodontal maintenance
referral to periodontist
What is the purpose of the simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S)
to assess oral cleanliness by estimating the tooth surface covered with debris and/or calculus
What are the two components of the OHI-S
simplified debris index
simplified calculus index
What are some difficult tooth selection areas
facials of 3, 8, 14, 24
linguals of 19 and 30
What are the scores of the OHI
0 = excellent
- 1-1.2 = good
- 3-3.0 = fair
- 1-6.0 = poor
This assess the amount of plaque at the gingival margin, examining the same anatomical units as the GI
plaque index
What is the range of plaque scores
0-3
What is the plaque score of visible plaque
2 or 3
What does a plaque score of 0 and 1 mean
0 = no visible plaque 1 = spots of plaque at the cervical margin
What does a plaque score of 2 and 3 mean
2 = thin, continuous band of plaque ≤1 mm wide 3 = plaque band > 1mm but <1/3 of crown height
What does a plaque score of 4 or 5 mean
4 = plaque covering ≥ 1/3 but < 2/3 crown height 5 = plaque covering ≥ 2/3 crown height
This plaque index is biased toward the gingival third and is the most frequently used plaque index in clinical trails; uses a disclosing agent
Quigley-Hein
What are the three NIDR calculus indices
0 = calculus is absent 1 = supraginiva calculus, but no sub gingival 2 = supra and sub gingival calculus or subgingival is only present
This index determines the quantity of supra gingival calculus; linguals of lower anteriors and is the most frequently used caucus index in longitudinal studies
Volpe-Manhold Index
How is the quantity of the Volpe-Manhold Index determined
in mm of calculus along the 2 diagonal and the central lines drawn over the lingual surface of each tooth
