30
Q

Glickman Classification

Furcation
Class 1:
* Pocket formation into the FLUTE
* incipient furcation involvement
* one 1 FLUTE

Class 2:
* Pocket formation into the FURCA (Furcation area)
* cull-de-sac furcation involvement

Class 3:
* Through-and-Through furcation lesion

Class 4:

31
Q

What is the normal distance b/w CEJ and Alveolar Crest?

A

2mm

32
Q

Alveolar Bone Loss

A

Radiographic Measure: not reliable
* BWs=Best

Normal: 2mm from CEJ to alveolar
* parallel to lines connecting CEJs of adjacent teeth

Horizontal Bone Loss: > 2mm; parallel

Vertical Bone Loss
* Aka Angular
* classified by number of bony walls
* Not Parallel

33
Q

Vertical Bone Loss/Infrabony defects: Classification

A

1 wall:
* hemiseptal (horizontal defect)

2 wall:
* Crater
* most common

3 Wall:
* trough
* best prognosis

4 wall:
* circumferential
* extraction socket

34
Q

Miller Classification (Recession)
