Perio 1 Flashcards
How do you know if a patient is engaged in their periodontal treatment?
less than 35% bleeding score
less than 30% plaque score
more than 50% improvement
What are the sextants of the BPE?
UR7-UR4
UR3-UL3
UL4-UL7
LR7-LR4
LR3-LL3
LL4-LL7
What are ramfjords teeth?
upper = 16, 21, 24
lower = 41, 44, 36
What does a WHO probe look like?
0.5mm ball end
with black markings at
3.5mm - 5.5mm
8.5mm - 11.5mm
What is the most important determinant in non-smokers for engagement?
modified bleeding score
What are the 3 scores for plaque score?
0 = no plaque visible even when a probe is used
1 = some plaque visible when a probe is used
2 = visible amount of plaque
What are the scores for bleeding?
0 = no bleeding
1 = bleeding
Is BPE diagnostic?
no used for screening
What are the tooth surfaces for plaque score?
interproximal
buccal
lingual/palatal
What are the tooth surfaces for bleeding score?
mesial
distal
buccal
lingual/palatal
What is the highest possible score for bleeding?
24
What is the highest possible score for plaque?
36
How long should you wait for presence/ absence of bleeding?
30 seconds
What are the scores for BPE?
0 = Pockets <3.5mm. No calculus/overhangs, no bleeding on probing (black band entirely visible)
1 = Pockets <3.5mm. No calculus/overhangs, bleeding on probing (black band entirely visible)
2 = Pockets <3.5mm Supra or subgingival calculus/overhangs (black band entirely visible)
3 = Probing depth 3.5-5.5mm (Black band partially visible, indicating pocket of 4-5mm)
4 = Probing depth >5.5mm (Black band disappears, indicating a pocket of 6mm or more)
- = Furcation involvement
If there is a code 4 in any sextant what should be done?
record a 6-point pocket chart throughout the entire dentition
