A

periodontitis

43
Q

what is the treatment is furcation involvement is observed?

A

treatment need will depend on BPE score 0-4, consider referral to specialist

44
Q

what score do you record in the sextant?

A

the worst score i.e. if there are scores of 1 and 3 you must put the 3 in

45
Q

what does * mean in the BPE?

A

furcation involvement

46
Q

what are the local risk factors?

A

calculus, malpositioned teeth, overhanging restorations, partial dentures

47
Q

what are the systemic risk factors?

A

diabetes, smoking, CVS disease, pregnancy, drugs that cause gingival overgrowth

48
Q

what are the benefits of providing charts detailing plaque and bleeding levels?

A

it can be a very useful way of motivating patients and monitoring their response to oral hygiene demonstration

49
Q

how do you assess the presence of plaque?

A

running a probe gently around the entrance to the gingival sulcus

50
Q

what are the sites of tooth that you check when recording plaque and gingivitis scores?

A

distal, mesial, buccal and lingual

51
Q

what does it mean if you have generalised plaque?

A

plaque is present on >30% of sites

52
Q

what does it mean if you have localised plaque?

A

plaque is present >10% but <30% of sites

53
Q

how do you calculate a plaque score?

A

number of surfaces with plaque x100 / total number of teeth x4

54
Q

how do you calculate a bleeding score?

A

number of surfaces with bleeding x100 / total number of teeth x4

55
Q

what is used to mark if there are no teeth present in the sextant?

A

an X (used when patient wears a denture)
