TCDHA PERIO II MIDTERM TEST WITH 100%
VERIFIED DETAILED ANSWERS
clinical decision making
all members of the dental team use the information obtained in the perio examination for
the formulation of a correct diagnosis and determination of appropriate tx strategies
that address the specific needs of the patient.
fundamental diagnostic questions
1. Does the clinical examination suggest the presence of periodontal health or
inflammatory disease in the periodontium?
2. If the presence of inflammatory disease has been determined by the clinical
examination, is the disease gingivitis or periodontitis?
3. If diseased, type of gingivitis? (or periodontitis)
Q1: Does the Clinical Assessment Indicate Health or Disease?
health: no need for further diagnostic decisions
disease: further diagnostic decisions will have to be made
• based on signs of inflammation.
• there are signs of disease that a clinician is able to observe and measure.
• there are symptoms of disease that the patient is able to note. Some patients are
unaware of disease.
visible signs of disease
: color and contour changes in the gingiva
,changes in consistency in the gingiva
hidden signs of disease
bone loss
exudate
bleeding on probing
Q2: Is the disease gingivitis or periodontitis?
gingivitis
no attachment loss
periodontitis
attachment loss
bone loss seen on rads
Q3: What type of gingivitis or periodontitis?
classify
,gingivitis,
periodontal disease or
peri-implant disease and conditions
flexibility
Use when assigning a periodontal diagnosis as more than one periodontal conditions
may be found in a pt
• Realize "gingivitis" or "periodontitis" may not represent the total periodontal condition
documenting perio disease
- Follow a consistent format for documentation
- Use proper diagnostic terminology
- Provide descriptive modifiers to describe severity and distribution of disease
staging identifies
- severity
- complexity of management
, - distribution
stages
i initial periodontitis
ii moderate
iii severe w potential for tooth loss
iv advanced w extensive tooth loss and potential for loss of dentition
grading is an indicator of
rate of progression
grades
A slow rate of progression
B moderate
C rapid
disease descriptive modifiers
- localized
