Q

what is plaque induced gingivitis

A

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

description of plaque status
describe surfaces covered by plaque
is plaque easily visible
detectable only on probing
use of plaque free scores

21
Q

who is the simplified BPE used on

A

co-operative children aged 7-18 years old
