prognosis, re-evaluation, maintenance Flashcards
Prognosis
“A prediction of the course, duration and
outcome of a disease based on a general
knowledge of the risk factors for the disease.”
process of getting a prognosis
Diagnostic Prognosis
an evaluation of the course
of the disease without treatment
Therapeutic Prognosis:
an evaluation of the course
of the disease with treatmen
Prosthetic Prognosis :
the anticipated result of the periodontal therapy with anticipated prosthetic treatment
avg tooth loss with perio pts with no tx or maintenance
The average tooth loss was 0.36 teeth/patient/year
avg tooth loss of perio pts with tx and no maintenance
0.22 teeth/patient/year
avg tooth loss in perio pts with tx and maintenance
about 0.1 teeth/year
prothestic prognosis with good perio tx and maintenance
relatively good, teeth will fail to support but perio status can be maintained
factors to consider for prognosis
Individual tooth prognosis and Overall prognosis
Individual tooth prognosis factors
- Percentage of bone loss
- Deepest probing depth
- Horizontal or vertical bone loss
- Anatomical factors (furcation involvement, root form, mobility, etc.)
- Crow-to-root ratio
- Caries or pulpal involvement
- Tooth malposition
- Fixed or removable abutment
Overall prognosis factors
- Age
- Medical status
- Smoker and/or diabetic
- Family history of periodontal disease
- Oral hygiene
- Compliance
- Maintenance interval
- Parafunctional habits with/without guard
- Individual tooth prognosis
Overall prognosis
Concerned with:
the dentition as a whole

Individual Tooth Prognosis
* Amount or percentage of attachment loss=The most important determinant, influences mobility and C/R ratio
* Bony defect topography
* Pocket depth
* need to relate to attachment loss
* Rate of attachment loss
* System/environmental factors
* Smoking, diabetes, stress, genetics, medications inducing gingival enlargements, systemic disease effecting periodontitis etc.
* Pt’s compliance and OH control
Individual Tooth Prognosis
* Anatomical factors
- Excessive occlusal forces
- Defective overhang or subgingival restorations
- Cervical Enamel Projections (CEPs)/enamel pearls
- Developmental/palatogingival grooves
- Root concavities
- Root forms and lengths
- Furcation and intermediate bifurcation ridge
- Accessary canals
- Root proximity
- Tooth mobility
defective restoration overhang
overhang or subgingival restorations can cause inflammation and loss of support
Cervical Enamel Projections (CEPs)
When present, it extends into furcation areas of ~20-30% of molars.
The most common location: buccal surface of 2nd mandibular molar.
PDL cannot attatch
Classification:
Grade I: The enamel projection extends from the CEJ of the tooth toward the furcation entrance.
Grade II: The enamel projection approaches the entrance to the furcation. (Not enter yet)
Grade III: The enamel projection extends horizontally into the furcation.
Enamel pearls
In the molar furcation areas, especially maxillary 2nd and 3rd molars.
Incidence of 1.1% to 9.7%. 21
cause lack of PDL attatchment
Palatogingival groove
Found in 4% to 6% of maxillary lateral incisors
root concavities
Radiographs UNDERESTIMATE the defects.

Root form and length
Long, divergent and multi-roots are less prone to have mobility.
The longer the root trunk, the less likely it is to become periodontally involved. When it’s involved, the more apical the furcation the more difficult it is to access and treat
Furcation root trunk length
Maxillary molars:
Mandibular molars:
Maxillary 1st premolar:
Furcation root trunk length
Maxillary molars:
mesial 3mm, buccal 4mm, distal 5mm
Mandibular molars:
buccal 3mm, lingual 4mm
Maxillary 1st premolar:
mesial 7mm
Furcation and intermediate bifurcation ridge
Furcation involvement
* Maxillary molars are lost more often than mandibular molars
Furcation ridge
* 73% of mandibular molars
* Cementum extending from the mesial to the distal of a furcation opening
* Hamper plaque control/ collect plaque
