PDI Lecture Part 1 Flashcards
what is the main advantage of classification systems
comprehensive evaluation and assessment of all necessary parameters to help in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis
what are the potential benefits of the PDI system
- improved intraoperatory consistency
- improved professional communication
- insurance reimbursement commensurate with complexity of care
- an improved screening tool for dental school admission clinics
- standardized criteria for outcomes and research
- enhanced diagnostic consistency
- a simplified aid in the decision making process associated with referral
what are the 3 classifications of PDI
- edentulous
- partially edentulous
- dentate
what are the 4 categories in the PDI
class I - class IV
what is class 1
an uncomplicated clinical situation
- straightforward
what is class IV
represents a complex clinical situation
- most debilitated edentulous conditition
what are the diagnostic criteria
- bone height - mandibular only
- residual bone morphology- maxilla only
- muscle attachments mandibular - mandibular only
- maxillomandibular relation
what is class II
denture supporting anatomy degraded
what is class III
anatomy degraded, surgical revision needed, additional factors are present
what are other variables that contribute to increased difficulty
the presence of implants
- gag reflex
- tongue size
- interarch space
- psychosocial conditions
- systemic conditions
- refractory patient
how is mandibular bone height measureed
at the least height
how is mandibular bone height classified
- 21mm or greater - type 1
- 16-20 mm- type II
- 11-15 - type III
- 10mm or less - type IV
what are the types for muscle attachment
- type A: all regions have attached mucosa without undue impingement during function
- type B: no attached mucosa in labial vestibule; mentalis muscle attaches near the crest of ridge
- type C: no attached mucosa in anterior lingual vestibule; genioglossus and mentalis muscle near ridge crest
- type D: attached mucosa only in posterior lingual region; mucosal base detached in all other regions
- type E: no attached mucosa in any region
what PDI class is type A for muscle attachments
PDI class I or II
what PDI class is type B for muscle attachments
PDI class I or II
