36
Q

T/F: The bleeding tendency in a BOP exam is assessed upon probing a periodontal pocket using standardized pressure

A

true

37
Q

where is the periodontal probe inserted during a BOP exam?

A

Periodontal probe is inserted to the bottom of the periodontal pocket. Bleeding is observed 15 seconds following retraction of probe.

38
Q

B-o-P is a valid indicator for periodontal stability. However, it is a poor indicator of what?

A

poor indicator of periodontal breakdown.

39
Q

why is bleeding upon probing a preferred diagnostic observation?

A

the use of gingival bleeding indices is desirable because bleeding is a more objective indicator than early gingival color changes and because it provides evidence of recent plaque exposure

40
Q

attachment level (mm) =

A

probing depth (mm) + recession (mm)

41
Q

in the Extent and severity index, Disease is defined as what?

A

attachment loss >1mm

42
Q

what is meant by the “extent” in a ESI index?

A

the proportion of tooth sites in a patient showing signs of destructive periodontitis

43
Q

what is meant by the “severity” in a ESI index?

A

Amount of attachment loss at the diseased sites, expressed as a mean value

44
Q

the ESI is based on probe measurements at _____ sites in one maxillary quadrant, and _____ in the contralateral mandibular quadrant

A

14

45
Q

Unlike other periodontal disease indeces, ESI describes the ________ of disease.
