JVD 2016 #1 - Quantification of Canine Dental Plaque Using Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence Flashcards
According to Wallis et al, in Quantification of Canine Dental Plaque Using Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence,
What was performed in this study?
validation of the QLF system using a 2 way crossover design with a dental chew versus control.
validated intra and inter observer variability in photos.
compared to logan and boyce
According to Wallis et al, in Quantification of Canine Dental Plaque Using Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence,
According to the VOHC, how much difference in plaque accumulation must be seen to consider a treatment effective?
15%
According to Wallis et al, in Quantification of Canine Dental Plaque Using Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence
What are currently accepted plaque quantification methods and what is their premise?
Logan boyce – accumulation of plaque on the entire buccal surface of a tooth scored 1-4
GCPI percentage of gingival margin with plaque measured with a special gingival margin probe on select teeth, averaged out to give a score for the mouth
According to Quantification of Canine Dental Plaque Using Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence,
Which teeth are included by the VOHC for scoring of plaque products?
Maxillary I3, C, P3, P4, M1, and mandibular C, P3, P4, M1
According to Wallis et al, in Quantification of Canine Dental Plaque Using Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence
Which teeth showed the most variability?
P1 and P2, but they had the lowest level of plaque coverage.
According to Wallis et al, in Quantification of Canine Dental Plaque Using Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence,
What are some of the reported benefits of the new system?
Correlates well with accepted standards,
may be more accurate dt use of computer measurement,
can show significance with fewer animals,
less subjective,
good inter and intraobserver agreement,
can store images indefinitely
