should you ask open or closed end questions
open
3 steps of motivational interviewing
elicit patients readiness and interest in hearing info, provide info in neutral manner and then elicit patients rxn to info
what brushing technique do we want to use?
modified brass technique
explain modified brass technique
hold bursh horizontal to tooth surface with it touching slightly on gingiva, then tild 45 degress so that brissles are under the gingiva area and use back and forth or small circles
what level of plaque index is acceptable?
15%
when it comes to tooth brushes, which is more effective and which is more efficient.
both can be effective, however electric would be more efficient because it can do more in a certain amount of time vs manual. if someone has ortho, or hard time brushing properly than electric is better. also the more expensive, usually the better it is.
tips for flossing for patients
correct placement into sulcus, wrapping proximal area, and correct controlled motion
how effective is floss at removing plaque?
80%’
what percent of adults reguarly floss?
18%
types of floss used for wider emrasures?
super floss, ultra floss and butler weave
interdental or proxa brushes good for what uses?
large embrasures, around pontics, distal to last molars, orthodontic appliance and implant abutments
interdental rubber tips good for what
exposed furcations, concavities and massaging gingival tissue
interdental stimulators?
triangular shape, made of balsa wood, moisten before using
rationale for SRP
disrupts subgingival microbial flora, delaying repopulation of pathogenic microbes
measurable endpoints for SRP
loss or gain of attachment levels, BOP, gingival inflammation, probings, change in microflora
keratinized tissue minus probing depth is what
attached gingiva
how do you measure keratinized tissue?
from mucogingival jxn to the free gingival marin
explain what clinical attachment levels mean
CEJ to the depth of clinical pocket (recession + pocket depth)
after SRP what happens to shallow pockets vs deeper pockets?
shallow tend to lose attachment and recession occurs. deeper pockets tend to show a gain in attachment and therefor decreased probing depths
why do shallow pockets tend to lose attachment loss?
mechanical trauma from instrumentaion or aggresive oral hygiene procedures
is gingival inflammation and BOP a reliable indictor of future breakdown?
no
absence of BOP and inflammation tells us what
somewhat reliable indicator of heatlh
SRP reduces what kind of bacteria
motile microbes and spirochetes
in intial pocket depths of ____mm or greater have been shown to inadequately debride roots 65% of the time
