Q

How do we get a patents plaque free score?

A
  1. Apply petroleum jelly on a cotton wool roll to patient’s lips
  2. Ask patient to chew on disclosing tablet or paint on disclosing solution
  3. To swish tablet around mouth for 30 seconds OR paint the solution on each individual surface of the tooth
  4. Spit out
  5. Rinse gently once

Q

What are the 3 different types of gingival indices?

A
  1. 6 point Marginal Gingival Bleeding Index
  2. Papillary Bleeding Index
  3. Gingival Index (Loe and Silness)
21
Q

How do we carry out a marginal bleeding index?

A
  1. Insert PCP 10 probe into gingival sulcus mid-buccally
  2. Run the probe towards the mesial papilla
  3. Insert the probe mid-buccally again
  4. Run the probe towards the distal papilla
  5. Run the probe similarly on the palatal/ lingual surface
22
Q

What fo we look for when taking a marginal bleeding indices?

A

We Observe for gingival bleeding from the buccal aspect of the tooth and palatal aspect of the tooth

23
Q

When do we carry out a marginal bleeding index?

A
  1. Carry this out for patients with BPE scores of 1 and 2
  2. At start of treatment
  3. As required
24
Q

Give some examples of periodontal indices

A
  1. Bleeding on Probing
  2. Probing pocket depths
  3. Attachment levels
  4. Mobility index
  5. Furcation indices
  6. Suppuration
25
Q

When do we carry out a periodontal indices?

A
  1. At start of treatment: baseline investigations
  2. 6-8 weeks after treatment: monitoring
  3. On sextants BPE Codes 3, 4 and with *
26
Q

If we take a bleeding on probing indices what else MUST we take?

A

Probing Pocket Depths

27
Q

How do we carry out a bleeding on probing exam?

A
  1. Insert PCP 10 probe to base of pocket
  2. Site is positive if bleeding occurs with or shortly after probing
  3. Record positive sites on Bleeding on Probing chart
28
Q

Name the 6 sites of the tooth we look at when carrying out a bleeding on probing exam

A
  1. distobuccal
  2. mid-buccal,
  3. mesiobuccal
  4. distopalatal (lingual),
  5. mid- palatal,
  6. mesiopalatal
29
Q

What is hard about taking a bleeding on probing and marginal bleeding exam?

A

Distinction between marginal bleeding and bleeding on probing is not always easy to make.

30
Q

If the bleed is coming from the gingival margins what is this an indication of?

A

Gingivitis

31
Q

If the bleed is coming from the base of pocket what is this an indication of?

A

Periodontitis

32
Q

What is the primary parameter to set threshold for gingivitis?

A

Bleeding on probing

33
Q

How do we carry out a Probing Pocket Depth Chart

A
  1. Insert PCP 10 probe to full pocket depth
  2. Read off pocket depth in mms
  3. Record on pocket depth chart
34
Q

When we measure a probing pocket depth that are we actually measuring from?

A

Want to measure from the base of the pocket to the gingival margin

35
Q

When is taking the pocket probing depth inaccurate?

A
  1. If the gingiva is inflamed
  2. We don’t know where the True probe tip position is
  3. Calculus and PRFs may make it harder to reach the true depth
  4. Angulation of probe
  5. Probing pressure
36
Q

Where do we measure from when we are checking attachment levels?

A

We measure from a fixed reference point either the:

  1. cement-enamel junction (CEJ)
  2. restoration margin
37
Q

Where do we measure from when checking attachment levels?

A

We Measure from a fixed reference point to base of pocket

38
Q

Where do we measure recession?

A

Measure from gingival margin to cement-enamel junction, where gingival margin is apical to the CEJ

39
Q

Why is measuring recession important?

A

As they are an aetiological factor

It helps us treat sensitive dentine

40
Q

What do the 3 grades we give when checking tooth mobility mean?

A

Grade 1: 1 mm horizontal movement
Grade 2: > 1mm horizontal movement
Grade 3: vertical movement

41
Q

What are we checking when we take a Furcation Involvement exam?

A

Bone loss between multi rooted teeth

42
Q

How do we measure Furcation Involvement?

A

A Probe is used to determine extent of bone loss

43
Q

Why do we measure furcation involvement?

A

It is harder to clean Furcated teeth and also makes treatment difficult

44
Q

What does grade 1 furcation involvement mean?

A

Grade 1

horizontal bone loss of less 1/3rd width of tooth

45
Q

What does grade 2 furcation involvement mean?

A

Grade 2

horizontal bone loss of greater than 1/3rd width of tooth but not through and through

46
Q

What does grade 3 furcation involvement mean?

A

Grade 3

Probe goes horizontally through and through involvement

47
Q

What do we do when we are checking fro Suppuration

A

We record the Presence or absence of suppuration on probing to base of pocket

48
Q

What is Suppuration?

A

Pus

49
Q

How do we measure bone loss

A

We measure as a Percentage or in mms
We can describe the pattern of bone loss Pattern
Can be Horizontal or Vertical bone loss
We use x rays o determine bone loss
