Non-surgical management of plaque-related periodontal diseases Flashcards
what is option 1 on action on recording BPE 3 (BSP)
if a sextant scores 3, this sextant should be reviewed and a 6 point pocket completed for that sextant only (and only after treatment)
what is option 2 on action on recording BPE 3 (SDCEP)
if a sextant scores 3, a 6 point pocket chart should be completed for that sextant before treatment and after.
where code 3 is observed in only one sextant, carry out full periodontal examination and root surface instrumentation of affected teeth in that sextant only
what is non surgical management also known as
cause related therapy
hygiene phase therapy
what is the aim of periodontal therapy
to arrest the disease process
ideally to regernate lost tissue
to maintain periodontal health long term
what is the disease control phase
extraction of hopeless teeth hygiene phase therapy caries management endodontic therapy provisional prostheses
what is periodontal therapy
supra gingival plaque control including scaling
what is periodontitis
loss of attachment and true pocket formation
colonization of the root surface - importance of removing this
what is hygiene phase therapy
dental health education oral hygiene instruction scaling and root surface debridement removal of other plaque retention factors reevaluation
how should dental health education be individualized
evaluate patients reasons for attendance, attitudes to health care, motivation tc
explain the natures of disease using diagrams, photographs, models ect
discuss findings of examination
what does dental health education consist of
demonstrate health and disease in the patients mouth
explain the nature and consequences of treatment
use language the patient will understand
what happens in oral hygiene instruction
talk about tooth brushing
interdental cleaning
disclosing agent
what is scaling
the removal of plaque and calculus from tooth surfaces
what is root surface debridement
encompasses the process of scaling and removal of supra gingival calculus
what are the scaling instruments
hand instruments
powered instruments
what are the powered scaling instruments
ultrasonic and sonic instruments
rotating and reciprocating instruments
what does the ultrasonic/sonic tip do better
may allow access to furcations
may be faster and less demanding on the operator
may result in less unwanted tooth tissue removal
how do the powered instruments work
the vibrations against calculus removes it
where can ultra sonic instruments be used
supra and sub gingival
what is the advantage of hand instruments
they have greater tactile sensitivity
can tell when you are at the base of the pocket
