Q

Why are cervical enamel projections more susceptible to periodontal breakdown and bacterial infiltration?

A

The enamel, which continues further down the root, often into a furcation, is unable to have a CT attachment.

Q

How do you do a PSR exam?

A

You split the dentition into sextants: Upper right, upper anterior, lower left, etc. Use a who probe to record the deepest pocket depth per sextant. Also, note other findings such as mobility, furcation, bleeding, plaque, etc. If the patient has 2 or more code 3’s or asterisks, then a CPE is indicated.

39
Q

Where does the probe stop in disease?

A

You will lose resistance that you normally have from the junctional epithelium. Therefore disease leads to you having deeper probing depths.

40
Q

What are the factors that can influence changes in probing depths?

A

Inflammation, probing force calculus, location, angulation and probe design.

41
Q

What is the difference between attachment levels and attached tissues?

A

Clinical attachment level is the distance between the base of the pocket and the CEJ. You use probing depth and FGM to calculate. Negative FGM numbers indicate that the position of the gingiva is coronal to the CEJ and positive FGM values mean that the gingiva is apical to the CEJ.

Attached tissue is the amount of gingiva attached to the alveolar process.

42
Q

How do you calculate attachment levels?

A

Probing depth + FGM

43
Q

How do you calculate Attached Gingiva?

A

Gingival Margin to the MGJ - Probing depth

44
Q

A

Mobility is greater than normal.

45
Q

Class 2 mobility?

A

46
Q

Class 3 mobility?

A

Mobile. Greater than 1 mm. Rotation, depressible.

47
Q

Grade 1 furcation?

A

Incipient.

48
Q

Grade 2 furcation?

A

Furcal bone loss, but not through and through. You can feel the “roof” but can’t get to the other side.

49
Q

Grade 3 furcation?

A

Through and through, but not clinically visible.

50
Q

Grade 4 furcation?

A

Through and through AND visible clinically.

51
Q

What are some predictors of disease activity?

A

BOP, suppuration, increase in probing depth, increased mobility.

52
Q

What is the BEST predictor of disease activity?

A

A combination of several of the predictors such as BOP and probing depth.

On it’s own BOP is the better of the predictors. Bleeding frequency greater than or equal to 75% is a good indication of disease and the absence of BOP has a high probability of health.

53
Q

Does an absence of pus indicate health?

A

NO!

Q

What are the clinical signs of occlusal trauma?

A

Mobility, fremitus and wear facets.

64
Q

What are the limitations of radiographs?

A

You cannot use radiographs alone to make a differential diagnosis. Need to combine clinical exam. 2D view of 3D structure. Periodontal pockets. Suggests, not confirm morphology of bone deformities. No tooth mobility. Can’t tell whether or not there has been treatment. Position or condition of facial or lingual structures. Soft-tissue to hard tissue relationships.

65
Q

Furcation arrow.

A

Small triangular radiographic shadow across mesial or distal roots of MX molars. Suggests furcation invasion. However, absence of arrow does not mean absence of furcation involvement.

66
Q

What are the best radiographs for making periodontal diagnosis?

A
