Gingival recession is the condition seen when the gingival margin is located apically to the cemento-enamel junction. The value noted as the gingival margin 1 should be recorded as a negative value. The BSP accepts that it will take time for this to be adopted universally in the UK but practitioners should make the effort to familiarise themselves with the new system, attend courses to allow it to be explained further and practice using this over the coming years

Furcations of all molars and first premolars of the upper jaw should be assessed with a furcation probe. The horizontal component of probing is graded (0 - 3) according to the following criteria: A: No, in the case described where there is no other bone loss and the bone “loss” has a known aetiology i.e. the impacted third molars, a diagnosis of either gingival health on a reduced periodontium or gingivitis on a reduced periodontium would be applied. This is not Periodontitis. This activity makes a perfect literacy center and teaches kids a variety of literacy skills. Learners will create fun Fall-themed sentences with the sentence strips and can discuss with their friends what Fall food they are enjoying. By adding sight words, you are teaching valuable academic skills.This double-sided chart folds flat for easy storage and has dry-erase cards so you can use it over and over again. High volume suction may not be suitable for certain dental procedures (e.g. biopsy) and some patients (e.g. those with a strong gag reflex). Nazir MA. (2017). Prevalence of periodontal disease, its association with systemic diseases and prevention. The "Gingival Margin" as the first value is the distance from the clinical gingival margin to any given reference such as, in most cases, the cemento-enamel junction. Crown margins and the margins of restoration should be chosen as a reference provided they are at least 3mm apical to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), otherwise, a virtual reference line should be chosen at the location of the original cemento-enamel junction.

A:Ideally, the BPE would be carried out by whoever is taking responsibility for the diagnosis and treatment planning of that specific patient and this would usually be carried out at any routine examination. Under direct access, hygienists and therapists can diagnose within their scope and as such they are very capable of providing this aspect of care. That said, if they are not working under direct access arrangements then, ideally, the BPE would be done by the dentist, as it requires decisions to be made based on the codes identified and then ultimately a diagnosis. Clinicians need to gauge patient compliance for having treatment that is going to be successful in treating their condition. Patient’s need to take an initiative in maintaining their own oral hygiene and unless this happens, clinical interventions are likely to be unsuccessful. 1. True Attachment LossHasani-Sadrabadi MM, et al. (2019). Hierarchically patterned polydopamine-containing membranes for periodontal tissue engineering. Healthline has strict sourcing guidelines and relies on peer-reviewed studies, academic research institutions, and medical associations. We avoid using tertiary references. You can learn more about how we ensure our content is accurate and current by reading our editorial policy. Q: Now that we no longer have the diagnosis of Aggressive Periodontitis, when should we consider systemic antibiotics as an adjunct to our treatment? Q: Do I have to do the staging and grading every time I see the patient for a new examination i.e. every 6 months? In Step 1, the flowchart indicates subgingival PMPR is undertaken. This created some confusion as when reading the papers, it was my understanding that the focus for Step 1 was Supragingival care and creating the correct conditions before going subgingivally?

This fun game of true or false works as a challenging math center for kids. Set out two columns, true and false. Underneath, mix up some simple math problems with answers. Students need to then work out whether to place the problem in the true or false column! A: No, the diagnostic statement including the staging and grading reflect the severity of the case on presentation and the level of risk or susceptibility that the patient has. If the gap between your teeth and gums measures between 1 – 3 mm, it’s considered normal and healthy. Q:In the BSP document, "Phased Management of Periodontitis in NHS General DentalPractice – Full Care Pathway adapted to UDA Banding",it mentions dpc in step 2 and not in step 1, is this correct ?EXACT has 2 different Perio functionalities. Original Perio Charting and the advanced Single Screen Perio Charting that we will be looking at here. Whenever possible, high volume suction should be used for dental procedures which will produce splatter, droplets or aerosol.

However, if your bitewings show bone loss and you are unable to see bone crests then it might be pragmatic to take PAs sooner, as you need to see where the bone levels and how long the roots are, and it’s likely that these areas may be less likely to respond well to OHE (although of course they are also more likely to be code 4 too). These practices will help remove plaque and tartar from around teeth, reducing gum inflammation. Scaling and root planingIf the patient’s oral hygiene is poor, bearing the above discussion in mind and with consideration of the BSP guidelines, it is reasonable to claim a band 2 course of initial periodontal therapy without conducting a 6PPC. This full-size folder organizer keeps your color-coded folders, magazines, and other paper materials neatly organized at eye level. Use of high volume suction might contribute to a reduction in fallow time following a Group A dental procedure”.
