Week 5- Periodontal Staging and Grading Flashcards
what are the stages of severity of disease based on clinical attachment level
- slightL 1-2mm
- moderate: 3-4mm
- severe: greater than or equal to 5 mm
what is the gold standard for categorizing the severity of disease
clinical attachment level
AAP formed a task force in 2015 to identify alternative criteria including:
- radiographic bone loss
- probing depth
why is probing depth not considered diagnostic
- inflammation has effect on penetration of probe into tissue
- inflammation may move gingival margin coronally - psuedopocket
what is the recommendation for using these factors to measure severity of disease
- use interproximal attachment los - 2 or more non-adjacent teeth
- use probing depth as a complexity factor
what is the 2017 classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions
-3 dimensional adaptive system:
- severity/extent: number of teeth affected rather than sites
- prognosis: affects no teeth up to 4 teeth, 5 or more teeth
- progression: grading
the 2017 AAP classification’s rationale for change is to:
- recognize and monitor systemic influences inflowing to periodontal disease such as smoking and diabetes
- control inflammatory and microbial influences from periodontal disease outflowing to systemic targets to decrease the co-morbid effect of the periodontal disease
what are the periodontal diseases and condition
- necrotizing diseases
- periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic diseases
- periodontitis
according to the CDC and prevention approximately _____ of adults over 30 years old have periodontitis
47%
what is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults over 30 years old
periodontitis
what is the goal of new system of staging and grading
- easy to use
- should promote better communication with patient, referring dentists, hygienists, other health care professionals
- identify response to treatment
what are the 3 steps to staging and grading a patient
- step 1: initial case overview to assess disease
- step 2: establish stage
- step 3: establish grade
what do you screen in step 1 of staging and grading in a patient
- full mouth probing depths
- full mouth radiographs
- missing teeth
mild to moderate periodontitis will either be:
stage I or stage II
severe to very severe periodontitis will be:
stage III or Stage IV
for staging and grading every patient categorized based on:
the worst periodontal site and specific factors that may impact long term management
staging is divided into
- severity
- complexity
- extend and distribution
staging considers:
- CAL using the worst site
- amount and % of bone loss
- probing depth
- presence/extent of ridge defects and furcation involvement
- tooth mobility
- tooth loss due to periodontitis
what are the criteria for defining periodontitis
- interdental CAL at 2 or more non adjacent teeth OR
- buccal or oral CAL greater than or equal to 3mm with pocketing greater than 3mm on 2 or more teeth
what is the interproximal CAL for each stage of the new system
- stage I: 1-2mm
- stage II: 3-4mm
- stage III: greater than or equal to 5mm
- stage IV: greater than or equal to 5mm
ensure the problem cannot be attributed to non-periodontal causes such as:
- gingival recession due to trauma- toothbrush trauma/toothpaste abrasion
- dental caries extending to or below the gingival margin
- defect on distal on 2nd molars caused by malposition or extraction of a 3rd molar
- endodontic lesion draining through marginal periodontium - deep probing depth
- vertical root fracture- isolated deep probing depth
what does the staging and grading system also take into consideration
- overall probing depths
- evaluates radiographic bone loss, horizontal and vertical
- evaluates furcation involvements, number of missing teeth, function
describe stage I with complexity factors
- max probing depth less than 4mm
- mostly horizontal bone loss
describe stage II with complexity factors
- max probing depth less than 5mm
- mostly horizontal bone loss
