Probing And Examinayption Flashcards
Probing provides information about?
• BOP
• PPD
• CAL
• Gum recession
• Furcation involvement • Biotype of Gingiva
• AG
• KGW
How do we move with probe ?
to the bottom of the pocket and gently moved laterally along the pocket wall.
What should we do in probing in 6 points ?
• Teeth number should be recorded
• Total number of Teeth surfaces should be counted
• Brobing in 6 points should be done for all teeth
• Bleeding areas should be identified and recorded
Mesio and disto buccal and buccal lingual the same done at the embrasure
How to culculate ?
Total Number of bleeding areas / number of examined surfaces * 100%
70/120 * 100% = 58%
What’s mild moderate and severe BOP ?
mild =<10%
moderate > 10-30%
severe >40%
What’s degree 1-5 ?
I degree up to 20%
II degree >20- up to 40%
III degree >40- up to 60%
IV degree >60-up to80%
V degree >80-up to 100%
How to assess furication ?
probing with Naber’s probe
radiograph of this area
What’s F0 and F1 ?
F0- No furcation involvement
F1- probe enters furcation area by 1 mm
What’s F2 and F3 ?
• F2-probe enters furcation area by more than 1 mm, reaching the up to half of the crown not exeeding the opposite side of the furcation
• F3-. probe entirely enters furcation area , which is seen in the oral cavity or is covered with gingiva
How to measure gingival recession ?
By Perio probe»_space; from the CEJ to the gingival crest.
What’s GR risk factors ?
• Aggressive brushing
• Hard brush
• Incorrect technique
• Frequency and duration of brushing • Frequency of brush replacement
What’s biological pocket depth ?
distance between the gingival margin and the base of the pocket (the coronal end of the junctional epithelium)
What’s probing depth ?
is the distance to which the instrument (probe) penetrates into the pocket.
The depth of penetration depends on:
size of the probe,
force with which it is introduced, direction of penetration,
resistance of the tissues, convexity of the crown.
What’s probing technique ?
• . The probe should be inserted
• parallel to the vertical axis of the tooth and
• “walked” circumferentially around each surface of each tooth to detect the areas of deepest penetration
• special attention should be directed to detecting
• the presence of interdental craters and furcation involvements.
What should we do to detect an interdental crater ?
the probe should be placed obliquely from both the facial and lingual surfaces so as to explore the deepest point of the pocket located beneath the contact point
What’s Pocket depth ?
is the distance between the base of the pocket and the gingival margin
What’s CAL ?
distance between the base of the pocket and a fixed point on the crown, such as the cementoenamel junction
In normal cases 0
In which cases loss of attachment is zero ?
When the gingival margin is located on the anatomic crown, the level of attachment is determined by subtracting from the depth of the pocket the distance from the gingival margin to the cementoenamel junction.
If both are the same ( equal 2-2=0 )its 0
When the loss of attachment equals the pocket depth ?
When the gingival margin coincides with ( on the ) the cementoenamel junction,
When loss more than the pocket ?
When the gingival margin is located apical to the cementoenamel junction, the loss of attachment is greater than the pocket depth,
and therefore the distance between the cementoenamel junction and the gingival margin should
be added to the pocket depth
How probing participate in bone loss assessment?
1) the height and contour of the facial and lingual bones obscured on the radiograph by the dense roots and
(2) the architecture of the interdental bone.
Transgingival probing, performed after the area is anesthetized, is a more accurate method of evaluation
and provides additional information on bone
What’s Intrabony Pocket ?
The bone destructive pattern is vertical transseptal fibers are oblique rather
than horizontal
Suprabony pocket ?
Horizontal bone loss
How ostroblasts work ?
the synthesis of the bone matrix, which subsequently undergoes calcification.
• Initially, uncalcified matrix, called osteoid, is formed and this is mineralized as a result of deposition of crystals of hydroxyapatite.
