Periodontal Screening and Management of Periodontal Conditions in Children Flashcards
what were the aims of the 2021 guidance
outline method of screening
provide guidance on periodontal management
what are the different classifications of periodontal conditions
periodontal health
gingivitis dental biofilm induced
gingival diseases non biofilm induced
necrotising periodontal diseases
periodontitis
periodontitis as manifestation of systemic disease
systemic diseases affecting periodontal supporting tissues
perio and endo abscesses
mucogingival deformities and conditions
traumatic occlusal forces
tooth and prosthesis related factors
what is periodontal health
a state free from inflammatory periodontal disease that allows an individual to function normally that avoids physical or mental consequences to current or past disease
what are the features of gingival health
gingival margin several millimetres coronal to CEJ
gingival sulcus 0.5mm-3mm deep
alveolar crest situated between 0.4mm-1.9mm apical to CEJ
what can a reduced periodontium be due to
crown lengthening surgery
recession
stable periodontitis
what should bleeding on probing be in gingival health
<10%
what are the types of gingivitis
plaque biofilm induced
non-plaque biofilm induced
what is plaque induced gingivitis
as supragingival plaque accumulates on teeth an inflammatory cell infiltrate develops in gingival connective tissue
junctional epithelium is disrupted
apical migration of plaque and increase in gingival sulcus depth
what are the features of necrotising gingivitis
pain
necrosis of interdental papilla
ulceration
spontaneous bleeding
pseudomembrane present
lymphadenopathy
fever
what are the predisposing factors for periodontal diseases
malocclusion
traumatic dental injury
dental biofilm retentive factors
what are the modifying risk factors for periodontal diseases
smoking
metabolic factors - diabetes
pharmacological agents
nutritional factors
increase sex steroids
haematological conditions
what is gingival overgrowth related to
systemic and metabolic diseases
genetic factors
local factors
side effects from medications
how do you treat gingival overgrowth
rigorous home care
PMPR
surgery
when would you consider urgent referral to a physician for haematinic screening
where extent of condition is inconsistent with level of oral hygiene observed
what is periodontitis
chronic multifactorial inflammatory disease associated with dysbiotic plaque biofilms and characterised by progressive destruction of tooth supporting apparatus
