Q

How is perio disease diagnosed? (4)

A
  1. Staging
    - Interprox bone loss at worst site of bone loss (due to perio)
    - Stage 1-4
  2. Grading
    - Rate of progression
    - Take a % of bone loss/age
    - Grade A,B,C
3. Assess current periodontal status
Is it:
- Currently stable
- Currently in remission
- Currently unstable
  1. Risk assessment

Q

How does dental biofilm gingivitis occur? (4)

A
  1. As supragingival plaque accumulates on teeth, an inflammatory cell infiltrate develops in gingival connective tissue
  2. JE becomes disrupted as a result
  3. Apical migration of plaque and an increase in the gingival sulcus depth (gingival swelling increases)
  4. Leads to deeper Gingival pocket / false pocket / pseudo pocket

29
Q

Pathogen for periodontitis

A

P gingivalis

30
Q

Features of periodontitis

A

Rapid attachment loss + bone destruction

31
Q

What makes up the staging and grading grid?

A

STAGING

  1. Interproximal bone loss
  2. Extent

What should be checked as part of recording and diagnosis for periodontal screening?

A
  1. Gingival condition
  2. Assess OH status

Q

How do we assess OH status?

A
