Periodontology Flashcards
Gold Standard for Periodontal Assessment
Periodontal Probe
Most important reason for Periodontal probe use
Determines attachment loss
Periodontal Probe: Force
10-25 Grams
Most accurate for Bone Loss Assessment and interproximal caries
Bitewing Radiograph
Most common radiograph for preliminary assessment
Full-Mouth Periapical Radiograph
Most commonly used Mouth Mirror
4, #5
It is the most reliable indicator of Gingivitis/Periodontitis
BLEEDING
Most definitive sign of Gingivitis
Bleeding on Probing
Probe from gingival margin to bottom of pocket
Probing pocket depth
Probe from CEJ to bottom of pocket & most accurate measurement of Perio
Clinical Attachment loss/Probing Attachment level
- Most Commonly used CLINICAL TEST
- Most Commonly used CLINICAL TOOL
- Percussion
- Radiograph/Xray
Most common pattern of Bone Loss
Horizontal Bone Loss
Furcation Assessment: Uses Naber’s Probe
*Maxilla = 1. _________ _____ At Palatal Area
2. _________ _____ at Palatal/Buccal Area
*Mandible = 3.
- Mesial Furcation
- Distal Furcation
- Buccal/Lingual
Glickman Classification:
Grade 1 -
Grade 2 -
Grade 3 -
Grade 4 -
- Incipient Bone Loss - Furcation Opening Peel

Glickman Classification Grade 2 is also known as?
“Cul De Sac”
3 Drugs that causes gingival enlargement/Hyperplasia

Indices used in Perio Assessment: (Com. Dent)
- Measures pocket depth. Good for community
- Measures clinical attachment loss. Clinically for 1 person
- Periodontal Index (by RUSSEL)
- Periodontal Disease Index (by RAMFJORD)
CPITN
Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (WHO)
Earliest sign of Gingivitis
Redness
Pathognomonic sign of Gingivitis
BLEEDING
Predominant Periodontal disease
Gingivitis
1st change in epithelial attachment due to inflammation
Junctional Epithelium Proliferation
Histopathlogy of a Developing Gingivitis:
1. What cell is responsible for Initial/transient gingivitis (No sign/symptoms, Inc. GCF, 2-4 Days)
2. What cell is responsible for Early/Developing gingivitis (Plaque over growth phase, 4-7 Days =BOP, Collagen destruction)
3. “ “ “ “ Established/Chronic
- Polymononuclear Cells (PMN’s)
- Lymphocytes
- Plasma Cells - IgA
