Q

Why do you determine the overall prognosis before the individual tooth

Q

Why would the prognosis for a patient that is older but with the same amount of bone loss as someone younger, be better

A

for the older person is took however long (60 years or whatever) to get that loss, while someone younger, took less, although the younger patient may have a better restorative capacity

Q

What are two parameters of disease severity

A

level of clinical attachment

radiographic examination shows the amount of root surface still invested in the bone

22
Q

Which has a better prognosis; a tooth with deep pockets and little attachment loss or one with shallow pockets and severe attachment and bone loss

A

deep pockets and little attachment loss

23
Q

What differs in prognosis of bone loss defects

A

horizontal bone loss depends on the hight of existing bone

in regards to angular bone loss, the number of remaining walls

24
Q

This is nearer to the crown which results in a more favorable distribution of forces to the periodontium and less tooth mobility

A

Cres

25
Q

This is the primary etiological factor associated with periodontal disease

A

bacterial plaque

26
Q

This is critical to the success of periodontal therapy and to prognosis

A

effective removal of plaque on a daily basis by the patient

27
Q

The prognosis for patients with gingival and periodontal disease is dependent on what three things

A

the patients attitude
desire to retain natural teeth
willingness and ability to maintain good oral hygiene

28
Q

What are two options the dentist can do with a patient who is not compliant

A

refuse to accept the patient for treatment

extract the teeth with hopeless/poor prognosis and preform SRP on remaining teeth

29
Q

This affects the severity of periodontal destructions and healing potential of the periodontal tissues

A

smoking

30
Q

In smokers, prognosis of slight-moderate periodontitis is generally what

A

fair to poor

31
Q

In smokers with severe periodontitis, the prognosis may be what

A

poor to hopeless

32
Q

A smoker can do this to affect prognosis

A

cessation of smoking

33
Q

Patients with slight to moderate periodontitis, who stop smoking can be upgraded to what prognosis

A

good

34
Q

Patients with severe periodontitis who stop smoking may be upgraded to what prognosis

A

fair

35
Q

Well-controlled diabetics with slight to moderate periodontitis, who comply with their recommend periodontal treatment should have what prognosis

A

good

36
Q

This may be helpful to a patient and improve prognosis

A

electric toothbrushes

37
Q

This is the most important local factor in periodontal disease

A

microbial challenge presented by bacterial plaque and calculus

38
Q

What are three plaque retentive features that decrease prognosis

A

greater gingival inflammation
more marginal bone loss
poorer compliance with home care

39
Q

Prognosis is poor for teeth with what anatomical features

A

short tapered roots and large crowns
disproportionate crown/root ratio
reduced root surface available for periodontal support
periodontium may be more susceptible to injury by occlusal

40
Q

These anatomical features can interfere with SRP and can prevent regeneration of cementum and PDL

A

cervical enamel projections CEPs
enamel pearls
bifurcation ridges

41
Q

These cannot attach to enamel, so you may have to remove enamel to expose cementum

A

gingival fibers

42
Q

This appears on the maxillary first premolars and the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary first molar which increases the attachment area and produces a shape more resistant to torquing

A

root concavities

43
Q

What are the three principal causes of tooth mobility

A

loss of alveolar bone
inflammatory changes in the PDL
trauma from occlusion

44
Q

This type of tooth mobility may be correctable

A

tooth mobility caused by inflammation and TFO

45
Q

This type of tooth mobility is likely to NOT be corrected

A

mobility due to loss of alveolar bone

46
Q

Long term prognosis for patients with plaque induced gingival diseases modified by systemic factors depends on what two things

A

control of bacterial plaque and control or correction of the systemic factors

47
Q

In drug-induced gingival enlargement this is usually necessary to correct the alterations in gingival contour

A

surgical intervention

48
Q

In slight/moderate chronic periodontits, the prognosis is generally good, provided what

A

inflammation can be controlled

49
Q

What type of prognosis does aggressive periodontitis have

A

poor

50
Q

Periodontits as a manifestation of systemic diseases can be divided into what two categories

A

those associated with hematologic disorders such a leukemia and acquired neutropenia
those associated with genetic disorders such as familial and cyclic neutropenia, down syndrome, Papillion-Lefevre, and hypophosphatasia

51
Q

Patients with periodontits has a manifestation of a systemic disease have what prognosis

A

fair to poor

52
Q

The prognosis of a patient with NUG is what

A

good

53
Q

The prognosis of a patient with repeated episodes of NUG is what

A

fair

54
Q

The prognosis of a patient with NUP depends on what

A

reducing local and secondary factors but also dealing with the systemic problem (like HIV)
