Q

What is the Diagnosis of Periiodontal Problems based on?

A
  • Probe depths + Gingival recession = CAL
  • Ammount of keratinized tissue, BOP, furcations, mobility
  • Fremitus (mobility on occlusion)
  • Bony defects (horizontal, vertical, walled)

Q

What are the types of gingivitis? Which is more common

A

Plaque-induced**

Non-plaque induced

17
Q

Non-plaque induced gingivitis

A

Difficult to diagnose/treat

Due to systemic disease and/or medication etiology

18
Q

Signs of gingivitis

A

Probe depths ≤ 3mm
No history of CAL
Inflammation via plaque or other causes

19
Q

Signs of periodontitis

A

Probe depths ≥ 4mm
CAL
Inflammation (unless it’s GAP)

20
Q

What are the types of periodontitis?

A

Chronic Periodontitis

Aggressive Periodontitis

21
Q

How do you measure the severity of chronic periodontitis?

A
Slight = 1-2mm
Moderate = 3-4mm
Severe = 5+ mm
22
Q

How do you measure the extent of chronic periodontitis?

A

Localized = 30% of sites

23
Q

What are some characteristics of Aggressive Periodontitis?

A

Specific sites
Non-plaque induced
Familial history - genetically predisposed and have the right bacteria
Must have at least 1 1st molar to be considered AP

24
Q

Localized Aggressive Periodontitis

A

≤2 permanent teeth besides 1st molars and incisors

25
Q

Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis

A

≥ 3 permanent teeth besides first molars and incisors

26
Q

How do we know aggressive periodontitis is non-plaque induced?

A

The amount of CAL does not correlate to the amount of plaque present

27
Q

Signs of Localized Aggressive Periodontitis

A

Puberty-20 years old
High/robuts serum-antibody response
Little gingival inflammation

28
Q

Signs of Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis

A

Under 30 years old (usually)
Episodic destruction of CAL/Bone
Poor/little serum-antibody response
Lots of gingival inflammation

29
Q

Glickman’s Classification

A
Classification of furcation involvement
Class I
Class II
Class III
Class IV
30
Q

Class I furcation

A

Not seen on radiograph

Just a catch in the probe

31
Q

Class II furcation

A

Seen radiographically
aka a Cul-de-sac furcation
Does not go all the way through

32
Q

Class III furcation

A

Through and through furcation

33
Q

Class IV furcation

A

When the furcation can be seen clinically
