A
the host response
5
Q
what can local risk factors be broken down into 3
A
- anatomical risk factors
- latrogenic
-trauma
6
Q

A
- furcation involvement - diff to access and clean/plaque stagnation area
- root morphology - root grooves - dont respond to RSD
- localised gingival recession - toothbrush trauma, habits, piercings
- dental anatomy/tooth relationships - crowded dentition, retroclined teeth , morphology of teeth
