25
negative predictive value
probability that a person does not have disease given that a negative test has been obtained
26
sens/spec is the probability of what?
a test result
27
predictive values are probability of what?
disease status
28
risk
predicts the ''who will get the disease" in a specific period of time
29
risk factors
characteristics of individuals that place them at increased risk for getting disease
30
risk assessment
predicting an individual's probability of disease | -helps clinicians to modify risk factors as part of therapy
31
prognosis
prediction of the course or outcome of disease
32
outcomes of periodontitis
tooth loss, recurrent disease, and loss of function
33
prognostic factors of periodontitis
tooth type, furcation involvement, bone loss, pocketing, mobility, occlusal force, home care, smoking, and systemic disease
34
periodontal index systems
numerical rating scale for perio status of a person or population that considers prevalence and severity -measurement of perio pockets and gingival tissue status
35
a good index is...
``` reproducible easy to use rapid valid reliable adequate specificity adequate sensitivity ```
36
periodontal disease indicators
``` plaque index ging inflamm probing depths (most objective index) bleeding upon probing clinical attachment levels radiographic assessment of bone loss ```
37
gingival indices
``` measure one or more of: color contour bleeding extent of ging involvement ging crevicular fluid flow ```
38
gingival health and periodontal health
- no perio loss - no inflamm - no PD (<3 mm) - no rec - no CAL loss (> 1 mm) - no BOP
39
gingivitis
no perio loss, inflammation present - no PD - no rec - no CAL loss - BOP
40
gingival health on reduced perio
perio loss but no inflamm - no PD - recession - CAL loss - No BOP
41
T/F gingival plaque isn't the only cause of periodontitis
true
42
_____% of non-institutionalized US pop 13 years and older had gingival bleeding in at least one gingival site
54%
43
on average per person, ____% of site had gingival bleeding
10
44
among persons with gingival bleeding, an average of ____ %sites had gingival bleeding
18
45
gingivitis is more prevalent among---
adolescents
46
are males or females in all age groups more likely to get gingivitis?
males
47
the prevalence of gingivitis is esp high for males aged ___ to ___
13-17
48
it is clear from experimental and epidemiologic studies that ______ is the direct cause of gingivitis
microbial plaque
49
smoking as a risk factor for perio disease
smoking is one of the most important risk factors for adult periodontitis, but its role in gingivitis is unclear
50
define periodontitis
inflammation of periodontium that extends beyond the gingiva and produces bone loss and destruction of connective tissue attachment of teeth
51
3 primary forms of periodontitis
1. necrotizing 2. periodontitis 3. systemic disease
52
current classification of periodontitis is based on ___-
CAL which is more indicative of disease accumulation throughout time
53
staging is based on
severity | complexity
54
grading is based on
progression | risk
55
stage I
- CAL: 1-2 mm - RBL: coronal third - tooth loss: none - local complexity: max probing depth < 4 mm; horizontal bone loss
56
stage II
-CAL: 3-4 mm -RBL: coronal third -tooth loss: none -local complexity: max probing depth <5 mm mostly horizontal bone loss
57
stage III
CAL: > 5 mm RBL: extending to middle third of root and beyond tooth loss: less than or equal to 4 teeth local complexity: state II complexity plus probing depths of >6 mm, vertical bone loss > 3 mm, furcation involvement class II or II, moderate ridge defects
58
stage IV
CAL: > 5 mm RBL: extending to middle third of root and beyond tooth loss: more than 5 teeth stage III complexity plus need for rehab due to masticatory dysfunction, occlusal trauma, severe ridge defects, bite collapse, less than 20 teeth
59
for each stage add
- localized - generalized - molar/incisor pattern
60
grade A
``` slow no bone loss over 5 years % bone loss/age: <0.25 heavy biofilm with low levels of destruction non smoker non diabetes ```
61
grade B
``` moderate bone loss: <2 mm over 5 years % bone loss/age: 0.25 to 1.0 destruction commensurate with biofilm deposits <10 cigs/day HbA1c: <7% in diabetics ```
62
grade C
``` rapid bone loss: > 2 mm over 5 years % bone loss/age: > 1.0 destruction exceeds expectations given biofilm deposits; periods of rapid progression or early onset > 10 cigs/day HbA1c>7% ```
63
what is the prevalence of periodontal pockets ?
>4 mm ----23%
64
the increase in prevalence of attachment loss with increasing age is not seen with--
pocket depth
65
PSR may lead to---
underestimation of periodontitis
66
estimated that approximately ----- of USA population >30 years has perio disease
half
67
what's the typical profile of periodontitis?
- becomes clinically significant after 30 years old - slow progression of attachment loss over time - males more than females to have attachment loss and more teeth with pockets - increased prevalence with age is more likely a reflection of cumulative effect of CAL over time
68
3 main microorganisms for perio
A actinomycetemecomitans porphyromonas gingivalis t. forsythia *the presence of these pathogens is not sufficient to cause disease
69
what are other local factors that may cause perio?
diabetes, smoking, nutrition, SES, genetics, systemic diseases
70
non-modifiable risk factors
age gender race gene polymorphisms
71
modifiable risk factors
biofilm formation control cigarette smoking psychosocial factors systemic disease
