Test 2: Ch. 10 Clinical Decision-Making for Periodontal Care Flashcards
- All of the following are fundamental diagnostic questions EXCEPT
- Does the inflammation extend to the surrounding bone?
- Does the clinical assessment indicate disease?
- Is the disease gingivitis or periodontitis?
- What type of periodontitis or gingivitis is it?
A. Does the inflammation extend to the surrounding bone?
- Symptoms of periodontal disease are the features of a disease that can be observed or are measurable by clinicians. Signs of periodontal disease are features of a disease that are noticed by the patient.
- The first statement is true. The second statement is false.
- The first statement is false. The second statement is true.
- Both statements are true.
- Both statements are false.
D. Both statements are false.
Signs are measurable by clinicians. Symptoms are noticed by the patient.
- Signs of periodontal disease include all of the following EXCEPT
- Difficulty in mastication
- Erythema
- Gingival edema
- Bleeding on probing
A. Difficulty in mastication
Difficulty masticating, profuse gingival bleeding, or bad taste in mouth are all symptoms of disease noticed by the patient. Other signs could be, loss of attachment, tooth mobility, or loss of alveolar bone support and are all measurable.
- All of the following are overt signs of inflammation EXCEPT
- color
- bleeding on probing
- contour
- consistency
B. bleeding on probing
- All of the following are examples of hidden signs of inflammation EXCEPT
- alveolar bone loss
- bleeding on probing
- exudate
- tooth mobility
D. tooth mobility
Gingivitis is often referred to by clinicians as a silent disease.
- True
- False
B. False
Explanation: Periodontitis is often referred to by clinicians as a silent disease.
- ______ is defined as the migration of the junctional epithelium apical to the CEJ.
Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL)
In determining peri-implant disease, if inflammation extends to the surrounding bone it is considered Peri-Implantitis. If the inflammation stays confined to soft tissue only it is considered Peri-implant Mucositis.
- The first statement is true. The second statement is false.
- The first statement is false. The second statement is true.
- Both statements are true.
- Both statements are false.
C. Both statements are true.
- If 30% or less of the teeth in the mouth are involved it is considered Localized. If more than 30 % of the teeth in the mouth are involved it is considered Generalized.
- The first statement is true. The second statement is false.
- The first statement is false. The second statement is true.
- Both statements are true.
- Both statements are false.
C. Both statements are true.
- Severe Periodontitis with potential for tooth loss
- Stage 1
- Stage 2
- Stage 3
- Stage 4
C. Stage 3
- Rapid rate of anticipated disease progression. A1c over 7. Smokes more than 10 cigarettes per day.
- Grade A
- Grade B
- Grade C
C. Grade C
- List Phases of treatment:
- Assessment and Preliminary Therapy Phase
- Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy Phase
- Surgical Therapy Phase
- Restorative Therapy Phase
- Periodontal Maintenance Phase
- This phase includes measures to control gingivitis and periodontitis, comprehensive patient educational measures, and includes measures to minimize local factors of inflammation.
- Assessment and Preliminary Therapy Phase
- Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy Phase
- Restorative Therapy Phase
- Periodontal Maintenance Phase
B. Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy Phase
- Includes assessment data collection and care for immediate treatment needs such as emergency care and extractions.
Assessment Phase and Preliminary Therapy
- A form of therapy that implements measures to control gingivitis and periodontitis and implement comprehensive patient education.
- Nonsurgical periodontal therapy
- Initial periodontal therapy
- Bacterial control
- All of the above
D. All of the above
