Q

How do you Measure BEWE?

A
  • for each sextant
  • scores
    0 = no erosive tooth wear
    1= intial loss
    2 = <50% hard tissue loss
    3 = >50% hard tissue loss

add all of the scores together

Q

How Would you Describe Dental Caries to a Patient?

A

caries is tooth decay that is caused by bacteria and plaque feeding on sugars from our diet
this results in changes of the saliva environment and changing our pH, when the balance is off it causes dimineralisation and causes the tooth structure to become damaged.

can show diagrams and pictures

25

pink firm gingivae with knife edged papilla, no inflammation or swelling, absence of bleeding and no pocketing beyond 3mm

31
Q

How do you BPE Probe

A

Divide into sextants
run a probe at the base of pockets
black band = 3.5mm-5.5mm
record the highest score

32
Q

What are the BPE Scoring Codes, alongside Treatment.

A

0 = no pocket, no calculus/overhangs, no bleeding after probing
- no need for periodontal treatment

1 = no pocket, no calculus/overhangs, bleeding on probing
- OHI advice

2= no pocket, supra/subgingival calculus/overhangs, bleeding on probing
- OHI
- remove PRF

3 = 3.5-5.5mm pocket
- OHI
- RSD - root surface debridement

4 = probing depth is more than 5.5mm
- OHI
- RSD
- assess need for more complex treatment, may need specialist

  • = furcation
    = where there is bone loss at the branching point of the roots - looks like small black triangle just under the base of the tooth
  • assess need for more complex treatment, may need specialist
33
Q

When Should BPE Be Scored?

A
  • new patients
  • code 0,1,2 - every 12 months

  • the bacteria gets stronger
  • infection increases
  • as a result, there has been breakdown of the supporting structures of bone and tissue
  • this is irreversible as it cannot grow back
  • if left untreated, teeth can become loose, gums to recede and eventually tooth loss
  • good news, periodontitis can be halted from progression and maintained with correct oral hygiene
