Final; Clinical Diagnosis Flashcards
What is the most important aspect of the health history
chief complaint
What are the primary local factors
bacteria - involved species and retentive areas
compliance - to OHI and to the maintenance program
What are three primary systemic risk factors
smoking
diabetes
genetics
What two things are needed when doing the radiographic examination
full set of periapical radiohraphs
patients old radiographs and perio charting (helps to distinguish between chronic and aggressive)
Which type of furcation involvement can be seen on a radiograph
2 has radiographic bone loss, 1 has no radiographic bone loss, but both catch on the probe
What are the three diagnostic categories of making a clinical diagnosis
health
gingivitis
periodontitis
How would you diagnose a patient with 1-3mm probing depth, no history of attachment loss, and no clinical stages on inflammation
health
How would you classify a patient with no signs of current disease but have had previous attachment loss
health on a reduced periodontium
How would you classify a patient with 1-3mm probe depths, no history of attachments loss, but clinical signs on inflammation
gingivitis
How would you diagnose plaque-induced gingivitis
probing depth ≤ 3mm with BOP
no recession
red and edematous soft tissues
Why are other (non-plaque) induced forms if gingivitis hard to diagnose and treat
involvement of systemic disorders and medications
How would you classify a patient with ≥4mm probing depth, with attachment loss, and clinical signs of inflammation
periodontists
What is the determinant between localized and generalized chronic periodontitis
localized = less than 30% generalized = greater than 30%
How much CAL is places into slight/moderate/severe categories of chronic periodontits
1-2 = slight 3-4 = moderate 5+ = severe
What is the differences between LAP And GAP
1st molars + centrals
and 2 other teeth = LAP
and 2+ other teeth = GAP
