SG Flashcards
Primary cause of perio ds is
Plaque not calculus
Perio ds is bacterial plaque in a
susceptible host
Dental plaque is
Structurally and functionally organized, species rich, microbial biofilms that form on teeth
Calculus
mineralized plaque that forms hard deposits
Materia alba
soft accumulation of salivary proteins, bacteria, desquamated epithelial cells and food debris
Predominant cells of early lesion
PMNs, macrophages, T-lymphocytes
Predominant cells of established lesions
PNMs, macrophages, T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, plasma cells
Stage 1
1-2mm CAL, <15% BL, no tooth loss, probing depth=4mm or less, mostly horizontal BL
Stage 2
3-4mm CAL, 15-33% BL, no tooth loss, probing depths=5mm or less, mostly horizontal BL
Stage 3
5mm or more CAL, BL >33%, 4 or less teeth, probing depths of 6mm or more, vertical BL 3mm more more, Class 3-4 furcation, moderate ridge defects
Stage 4
5mm or more CAL, BL >33%, 4 or less teeth, probing depths of 6mm or more, vertical BL 3mm more more, Class 3-4 furcation, severe ridge defects, secondary occlusal trauma, bite collapse, pathological migration of teeth, <20 remaining teeth (10 opposing pairs)
Grade A
Slow rate = nonsmoker and nondiabetic
Grade B
Moderate rate, <10 cig/day, diabetic with HbA1c <7
Grade C
Rapid rate, >10cig/day, diabetic HbA1c >7%
Mobility
Use 2 rigid instruments, not fingers. (may show thickened PDL, clenched/bruxism, missing tilted teeth, evidence of working/balancing occlusal interferences
Mobility Grade 1
First distinguishable sign of movement more than normal (physiologic)
Mobility Grade 2
Movement which allows crown to move 1 mm from its normal position in any direction
Mobility Grade 3
Tooth may be rotated or depressed in alveoli
Furca: Glickman Grade 1
Pocket formation into the flute of the fucra, but the inter-radicular bone is intact
Furca: Glickman Grade 2
Loss of inter-radicular bone with pocket formation of varying depths into the furca, but not completely through to the other side (can be shallow or deep)
Furca: Glickman Grade 3
Complete loss of inter-radicular bone with pocket formation completely probable to the other side B/L
