Prognosis, Re-Evaluation, & Maintenance Flashcards
What is our objective with perio therapy?
- predictable plan
- stable perio health
- long-term outcome
A predication of the source, duration, and outcome of a disease based on a general knowledge of the risk factors for the disease:
prognosis
List the steps involved in delivering a predictable and long term stable comprehensive treatment plan:
- comprehensive exam (clinical & radiographic findings)
- diagnosis
- prognosis
- treatment plan
An evaluation of the course of disease WITHOUT treatment:
diagnostic prognosis
An evaluation of the course of the disease WITH treatment:
therapeutic prognosis
The anticipated result of the periodontal therapy with anticipated prosthetic treatment:
Prosthetic prognosis
When viewing the DIAGNOSTIC prognosis study, it evaluated 30 patients with moderate to advanced periodontitis with NO TREATMENT at an average of 3.72 yeasrs after initial examination, the average tooth loss was:
0.36 teeth per patient per year
When viewing the THERAPEUTIC prognosis study, it evaluated 44 patients with moderate to advanced periodontitis WITH TREATMENT but NO MAINTENANCE over a 5 year period. The average tooth loss was:
0.22 teeth per patient per year
When viewing the THERAPEUTIC prognosis study, it evaluated 95 patients with moderate to advanced periodontitis WITH TREATMENT and REGULAR MAINTENACE at an average of 6.5 years. The average tooth loss was:
0.11 teeth per patient per year
When viewing the PROSTHETIC prognosis study, ___% of bridges failed due to loss of retention, fracture of bridgework, or fracture of abutment teeth.
Severe reduction of periodontal support around the abutment teeth and difference in bridgework ____ influence periodontal status.
8%; did not
Factors to consider with individual tooth prognosis include:
- percentage of bone loss
- deepest probing depth
- horizontal or vertical bone loss
- anatomical factors (furcation involvement, root form, mobility etc.)
- crown-to-root ratio
- caries or pulpal involvement
- tooth malposition
- fixed or removable abutment
Factors to consider with overall prognosis of perio disease include:
- age
- medical status
- smoker and/or diabetic
- family hx of periodontal disease
- oral hygiene
- compliance
- maintenance interval
- parafunctional habits with/without guard
- individual tooth prognosis
When determining the prognosis of a periodontal patient, you should consider both:
- individual tooth prognosis
- overall prognosis
According to prognosis assignment, the overall prognosis is concerned with:
the dentition as a whole
According to prognosis assignment, the individual tooth prognosis is:
modified and effected by overall prognosis
