Record Findings

Question 1

how de we record our findings on the perio assess form?

Answer 1

1. anything 4 is recorded in red

3. any bleeding is recorded with a red circle

Question 2

how do we figure out SBI?

Answer 2

the # of areas bleeding over # of teeth x4 = %

Question 3

how do we figure out clinical attachment level(CAL)?

Answer 3

clinical attachment level in the presence of gingival recession is measured directly from the CEJ to the attached tissue.
e.g. 6=Bottom of the pocket depth to the CEJ
4= gingival margin to the pocket depth
(6-4 = 2mm visible root surface)

Question 4

how do we figure out clinical attachment level when the gingival margin is at the level of the CEJ?

Answer 4

it is equal to the probing depth

Question 5

how do we figure out clinical attachment loss with recession?

Answer 5

probe depth + recession = clinical attachment loss

Question 6

how do we measure keratinized gingiva (mucogingival line to the gingival crest?

Answer 6

measure the attached gingiva by laying the probe over the surface of the gingiva from the free margin to the mucogingival junction

2. measure the probe depth
3. subtract the probing depth from the total attached gingiva to obtain the true width of attached gingiva
   (e. g. 5-6=(-1)) bad MGI (mucogingival involvement)
