periodontal diagnosis, prognosis and tx planning Flashcards
chief complaints with periodontal disease
bleeding gums, bleeding on brushing, dull generalized pain, mobility of teeth
t/f PSR is recorded in sextants
yes. the probe has a 0.5mm ball at the end so the first line up is 3.5mm. the highest score is recorded for each sextant
psr code 0
colored area of probe is visible in deepest cervice. no calculus or defective margins, tissues are healthy with no bop
psr code 1
same thing as 0 but there is bop (gingivitis).
DO A PROPHY
psr code 2
colored area of probe is visible in deepest probeing depth. supra/subgingival calculus and defective margins (overhangs)
CALCULUS AND PLAQUE REMOVAL, CORRECT OVERHANGS
psr code 3
colored area partly visible (between 3.5-5.5mm)
COMP EXAM and CHARTING (probe, mobility, recession, furcation, radiographs)
psr code 4
colored area of probe completely disappears
1 section of code 4 or 2 of code 3 = full mouth exam
COMP EXAM AND CHARTING
psr code *
whenever there is a problem with codes 0, 1, 2
psr code X
edentulous sextant
t/f you should drag the probe and point the probe away from the tooth when perio charting
false. walk the probe and keep the tip on the tooth
what does BOP tell you
objective indication of inflammation
recession
distance from the cej to the gingival margin when the margin is apical to the cej (+)
pseudopocket/overgrowth
distance from the cej to the gingival margin when the gingival margin is coronal to the cej with no attachment loss (-)
t/f al can be present without recession
true
how do you measure the fgm if you cant see the cej
feel for the cejj with your rpobe and measure how much further the probe goes beyond the cej
pocket depth is relative to what
the gingival margin. you can have attachment loss without a pocket (recession)
mobility index I
1st distinguishable sign of movement greater than normal
mobility index II
movement of the crown by up to 1 mm in any direction
mobility index III
movement of crown more than 1 mm in any direction and/or vertical depression or rotation
what do you use to detect furcation involvement
nabers probe
how many furcations are there on mandibular molars compared to maxillary molars
2 mand (B/L), 3 max (B/ML/DL)
glickmans furcation I
pocket formation into the flute but intact interradicular bone
