Answer 24

furcation involvement
calculus
history of attachment loss

Question 25

What was the early studies view on gingivitis and CP

Answer 25

all gingivitis leads to periodontitis but then later thinking that gingivitis and CP are separate

Question 26

bacterial plaque induces gingivitis, but what determines if CP will develop

Answer 26

host response

What is todays view of gingivitis and CP

Answer 27

different aspects of the same disease

Answer 29

men
mexican americans

adults below the poverty level
current smokers

Question 30

Severe periodontitis is the what most prevalent disease in the world

Answer 30

6th most prevalent

Question 31

What three things are increasing the burden of SP

Answer 31

growing world population
increasing life expectancy
significant decrease in prevalence of tooth loss

Question 32

This is the mobility of a tooth in occlusion and is used to aid in diagnosis of CP

Answer 32

fremitus

Question 33

What is used to diagnose CP

Answer 33

probing depths
gingival recession
CAL (probing depth + gingival recession)
BOP
furcation involvement
mobility
bone defects

Question 34

What are the bony defects in diagnosing CP

Answer 34

1 - wall
2 - wall
3 - wall bony defects

Question 35

What are the three goals of treatment for CP

Answer 35

eliminate etiology
eliminate or reduce risk factors
prevent recurrence

Question 36

What are the three steps of initial periodontal therpay

Answer 36

removal of but sub and supra gingival plaque
adequate oral hygiene
remove local and systemic risk factors

Question 37

What are the three rationales for periodontal therapy

Answer 37

periodontal treatment of CP is effective
non-compliant patients had double the rates of tooth loss
untreated patients loss approx. 0.6 teeth/year

Question 38

What are three things associated with probing depth reduction after therapy

Answer 38

gingival recession and
gain of clinical attachment
pocket shrinkage

Question 39

This outcome of initial therapy indicated that sites with initial shallow pockets tend to lose what

Answer 39

CAL (gingival recession + probing depths) (possible trauma)

Question 40

There is a greater risk for what if presenting multiple sites with residual probing depth ≥ 6mm after active treatment

Answer 40

additional attachment loss

bottom line; you cannot maintain 6mm pockets; surgery
