Cards

Term
what are the major diagnostic categories of periodontal disease?
Definition
Gingivitis and Periodontitis
Term
communicating clinical findings accurately
presenting information to patient about their disease status
formulating individualized treatment plans
predicting treatment outcomes
Definition
purpose of classification systems
Term
AAP classification system for Periodontal Disease
Definition
current periodontal disease classification system
Term
fact gathering process designed to provide a comprehensive picture of the patient's periodontal health status
Definition
Clinical periodontal Assessment
Term
A clinical periodontal assessment is (?) performed by the clinician
Definition
one of the most important functions
Term
the information gathered during this assessment (?) for the patient
Definition
forms the basis of the individualized treatment plan
Term
an estimate of the true periodontal support around the tooth as measured with a periodontal probe
Definition
Clinical attachment level (CAL)
Term
Clinical Attachment Level (CAL)
Definition
Distance measured from the CEJ to the JE
Term
measured from the gingival margin to the base of the sulcus or periodontal pocket
Definition
Probing depths
Term
measured from a fixed point (CEJ) to the base of the sulcus or periodontal pocket
Definition
CAL
Term
CAL =
Definition
more accurate measurement of periodontal support than probing because the position of the gingival margin may change with tissue swelling or recession
Term
when the gingival margin is AT or SLIGHTLY coronal to the CEJ
Definition
no calculations are needed
Term
when the gingival margin is SIGNIFICANTLY coronal to the CEJ
Definition
subtract gingival margin level from probing depth
Term
when gingival RECESSION is present
Definition
add gingival margin level to probing depth
Term
FGM is at or slightly coronal to the CEJ
Definition
normal position
Term
FGM is significantly coronal to the CEJ
Definition
gingival enlargement
Term
FGM is apical to the CEJ
Definition
recession of gingival margin
Term
can there be gingival recession without increased probing depth?
Definition
yes!
Term
tooth brush abrasion
Definition
# 1 etiologic factor for gingival recession
Term
lack of interdental col
Definition
creates food trap
Term
junction between keratinized gingiva and nonkeratinized mucosa
Definition
Mucogingival junction
Term
keratinized is
Definition
pale pink
Term
non keratinized is
Definition
more thin and vascular
Term
-Gingival recession results in inadequate or diminished AG
-Probing depths extend to or beyond the MGJ into alveolar mucosa
-High frenum attachments pull gingiva away from tooth
Definition
conditons for Mucogingival Involvement /Defect
Term
injury to the attachment apparatus as a result of excessive occlusal forces
Definition
Occlusal trauma
Term
attachment apparatus is everything but the gingiva
Definition
if you include the gingiva you are talking about periodontium
Term
Primary, Secondary
Localized, Generalized
Definition
classifications of occlusal trauma
Term
excessive occlusal forces placed on a HEALTHY periodontium that produces changes in the periodontal tissues (e.g. a "high" restoration)
Definition
Primary Occlusal Trauma
Term
Normal forces of mastication on a periodontium with bone loss (periodontitis) that produce changes in the tissues
Definition
Secondary Occlusal Trauma
Term
what is the most common clinical sign of occlusal trauma?
Definition
increasing tooth mobility
Term
what is the most common malpractice claim?
Definition
Failure to diagnose periodontal disease
Term
destructive periodontitis that continues despite appropriate homecare and treatment
Definition
refractory periodontitis
Term
acute periodontal diseases may or may not
Definition
be associated with gingivitis or periodontitis
Term
localized or generalized
Definition
classification of acute periodontal diseases
Term
Gingival abscess
Periodontal abscess
Necrotizing periodontal abscess
Pericorneal abscess (pericornitis)
Definition
types of acute periodontal diseases
Term
localized painful edema at free gingival margin or interdental papilla
can be caused by etiologic factors (nail, popcorn hull, seeds) lodged in gingival sulcus
Calculus is NOT usually the cause
Definition
Gingival abscess
Term
what is exudate?
Definition
dead white blood cells
Term
often occur in deep pockets or furcation sites (periodontitis)
tooth may be sensitive to percussion and may be mobile
Definition
Periodontal abscess
Term
smooth
shiny
painful area of swelling (fistula)
tender to touch
may have exudate and/or increase in probing depth
Definition
Presentation of periodontal abscess
Term
infection through caries
traumatic fracture of tooth
trauma of a dental procedure
Definition
Endodontic Abscess
Term
Death of the cells comprising the gingival epithelium
Definition
Necrosis
Term
Loss of the gingival epithelium normally covering the underlying gingival connective tissue
Definition
Ulceration
Term
A gray white layer covering the necrotic areas of the gingiva
Definition
Pseudomembrane
Term
Destruction of papillae
Definition
Punched out papillae
Term
Acute infection limited to gingival tissues
Definition
Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
Term
necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis is also known as
Definition
Vincent's Infection or Trench Mouth
Term
history of: smoking
poor nutrition
recent stress
impaired host response
Can be associated with HIV-positive status
Most common in 20 - 30 yrs old
Definition
NUG characteristics
Term
oral pain
punched out or cratered papillae
tissue necrosis
gray white pseudo membrane formation
spontaneous bleeding
lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes)
extreme halitosis (fetid)
Definition
Appearance of NUG
Term
similar to NUG
affects deeper structures of periodontium (bone)
can be accompanied by the formation of sequestrum - fragments of necrotic (dead) alveolar bone
Definition
distinguishing features of NUP
Term
NUP requires
Definition
immediate referral to a periodontist and maybe an MD for underlying conditions
Term
localized infection within tissue surrounding crown of a partially erupted tooth
Definition
Pericorneal Abscess (pericornitis)
Term
Malaise
Fever
Lymphadenopathy
Trismus (lock jaw)
Exudate
Localized red, swollen, lesions that are painful to touch
Definition
Presentation of pericorneal abscess
Term
pericorneal abscess can be treated with
Definition
debridement and irrigation along with antimicrobial rinses, antibiotics, and tissue recontouring or extraction
