This document provides information on periodontal examination including medical history, extraoral examination, temporomandibular joint examination, examination of the gingiva and periodontium, signs of gingival disease, probing depth, bleeding on probing, gingival color changes, consistency changes, surface texture changes, contour changes, size changes, position changes, recession, papilla changes, mobility, periodontal pockets, plaque, periodontal diseases, chronic periodontitis features, aggressive periodontitis features, gingivitis classification, and periodontitis classification. Key aspects covered are signs of gingival disease, classification of gingivitis and periodontitis, features of chronic and aggressive periodontitis.
This document discusses various periodontal indices used to measure oral hygiene and periodontal disease. It begins by defining what an index is and its uses. It then describes several commonly used indices including:
1) The Oral Hygiene Index which measures debris and calculus to assess oral hygiene.
2) The Gingival Index which evaluates gingival inflammation visible to the naked eye.
3) The Plaque Index which scores the amount of plaque present on tooth surfaces.
It provides the scoring criteria and calculations for each index. The document emphasizes that indices should be objective, reproducible and allow comparison across populations or studies.
The biological width refers to the dimensions of the junctional epithelium and connective tissue attachment above the alveolar crest, which averages 2.04mm. Placement of restoration margins within 1mm of the gingival sulcus is ideal to preserve this biological width, while subgingival placement can lead to inflammation, recession, or bone loss by violating the biological width. When a violation occurs, it can be corrected by surgery to remove bone away from the margin by the ideal biological width distance, or by orthodontic extrusion. Maintaining the biological width is essential for periodontal health.
This document discusses bone destruction patterns caused by periodontal disease. It identifies the main causes of bone destruction as the extension of gingival inflammation, trauma from occlusion, and systemic disorders. It describes several patterns of bone loss seen in periodontal disease, including horizontal, vertical, osseous craters, bulbous contours, reversed architecture, ledges, and furcation involvement. The rate and episodic nature of bone destruction in periodontal disease is also covered.
4.furcation involvement and its treatmentpunitnaidu07
This document discusses furcation involvement in multi-rooted teeth. It begins with introductions and definitions, then describes the anatomy of furcated teeth. Several classifications of furcation involvement are presented based on horizontal and vertical bone loss. Potential etiologies include dental plaque, local anatomic factors like furcation dimensions and root concavities, developmental anomalies, trauma, caries, and pulpal pathology. Diagnosis and various treatment options are also covered, along with prognostic factors and conclusions.
This document discusses prognosis in periodontal disease. Prognosis is the prediction of the probable course and outcome of a disease based on knowledge of pathogenesis and risk factors. It is determined before treatment based on disease characteristics and previous experience. Prognosis can be excellent, good, fair, poor, questionable or hopeless depending on factors like bone loss, furcation involvement, and patient compliance. Systemic factors like smoking and diabetes can affect prognosis. Anatomical root characteristics also influence prognosis. The relationship between diagnosis and prognosis is discussed.
- Trauma from occlusion occurs when occlusal forces exceed the adaptive capacity of the periodontium, causing injury. It can be acute or chronic.
- The magnitude, direction, duration, and frequency of forces impact the periodontium's ability to adapt. Excessive pressure or tension can damage tissues.
- Primary trauma from occlusion is caused by changes in occlusal forces, while secondary trauma occurs when reduced bone support impairs the tissues' resistance to normal forces.
- The periodontium responds to trauma in three stages - injury, repair through new tissue formation, and adaptive remodeling to better withstand forces. Trauma can cause reversible damage if forces are reduced, or lead to irreversible injury if
The document discusses the endodontic-periodontal interrelationship. It begins by introducing how Simring and Goldberg first described this relationship in 1964.

1. Osseous surgery involves modifying the alveolar bone support of teeth and includes techniques like osteoplasty and ostectomy. It aims to eliminate pockets and correct unphysiological bone architecture.
2. Factors in selecting a technique include the amount and location of bone loss, root trunk length, and anatomical limitations. Techniques range from non-resective procedures like osteoplasty to resective procedures like ostectomy.
3. Outcomes of osseous surgery generally include pocket elimination and establishment of physiological bone contours and architecture, though some bone loss from remodeling is expected in the range of 0.06mm to 1.2mm.
Phase I periodontal therapy is the first in the chronologic sequence of procedures that constitute periodontal treatment. It is also referred to as cause related therapy or non-surgical periodontal therapy.
This document provides an overview of different types of periodontal instruments used in dental practice. It classifies instruments and describes their purposes and characteristics. Periodontal instruments include probes for measuring pocket depth, explorers for detecting calculus and caries, and scalers and curettes for removing calculus and root planing. The document discusses various generations of probes from traditional to computer-assisted probes, as well as area-specific and universal scalers and curettes.
This document discusses the process and techniques for coronoplasty, which is a selective reduction of occlusal areas to influence mechanical contact situations and neural sensory input patterns. It describes the 10 basic steps for performing coronoplasty, which include adjusting the intercuspal position and retruded contact position, removing prematurities, establishing stable simultaneous contacts, testing and adjusting incisal contacts and excursions, and finishing with polishing rough surfaces. The goal is to establish an optimal occlusion with stable contacts, smooth excursions, and decreased tooth mobility and stress on the teeth and temporomandibular joints.
Ultrasonic and sonic scalers were introduced in the 1950s as powered alternatives to manual instrumentation for removing supra and subgingival calculus. They use high frequency electrical or air pressure vibrations transmitted through interchangeable tips to remove deposits via mechanisms like cavitation. Studies found hand and powered instrumentation are similarly effective in reducing plaque, calculus, and pathogens and improving periodontal outcomes. While powered instruments provide improved access in furcations and heavy calculus, both techniques are important for periodontal therapy. Precautions are needed with powered instruments to prevent tissue damage or interference with devices like pacemakers.
This document discusses trauma from occlusion (TFO) and its effects on the periodontium. It defines TFO as injury to the periodontal tissues caused by excessive occlusal forces. It describes the different types of occlusal forces and their effects, including acute vs chronic TFO, and primary vs secondary TFO. It also discusses the stages of tissue response to increased occlusal forces: injury, repair, and adaptive remodeling. The document examines various theories on the interaction between TFO and plaque-associated periodontal disease.
The document discusses diseases of the dental pulp. It begins with an introduction to the pulp, including its composition and role in tooth development. It then discusses the pathophysiology of pulpal disease, describing how noxious stimuli can lead to inflammation and necrosis by disrupting blood flow. Several classifications of pulpal diseases are presented, including those based on histopathology, clinical symptoms, and the World Health Organization framework. Etiological agents are explored, such as mechanical trauma, thermal or chemical insults, bacterial invasion, and idiopathic causes. Specific pulpal diseases like reversible and irreversible pulpitis are also mentioned.
This document provides an overview of periodontal probes, including their history, uses, classifications, and related studies. Periodontal probes are calibrated instruments used to measure pocket depth and determine pocket configuration. Several generations of probes have been developed over time, with modifications including standardized tip diameters and shapes, millimeter markings, and the incorporation of pressure sensors. Current probes range from conventional manual probes to computerized probes that can precisely measure probing force and position. Probes are a key diagnostic tool in periodontal examinations and assessments of treatment outcomes.
This document discusses topical fluoride delivery methods for preventing dental caries. It begins by introducing different types of topical fluorides including professionally-applied options like sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride, and acidulated phosphate fluoride as well as self-applied options like dentifrices and mouthwashes. It then covers the preparation, application procedures, mechanisms of action, advantages, and disadvantages of each professionally-applied fluoride type. The document concludes by comparing the characteristics of the different professionally-applied fluoride options and providing recommendations for topical fluoride application.

The document summarizes the key changes in the 2017 classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases compared to the 1999 classification. The 2017 classification introduces staging and grading systems for periodontitis to indicate disease severity and risk of progression. It also includes classifications for peri-implant health, mucositis, and implantitis, as well as mucogingival deformities. The document reviews these changes and provides references for the revised classification system.
This document discusses the historical background and various methods of root biomodification, which involves chemically or mechanically modifying the root surface to promote periodontal regeneration. It describes how citric acid, tetracycline, fibronectin, and EDTA work to demineralize and detoxify the root surface in order to remove the smear layer and expose collagen fibers, making the surface more biocompatible and conducive to new attachment of periodontal tissues. Register and Burdick's 1975 technique using citric acid application for 2-3 minutes is outlined, along with modifications by Miller. The mechanisms and benefits of different agents are explained.
1. The document discusses electronic apex locators (EALs), which are devices used to determine the working length of a root canal without radiography.
2. It describes the six generations of EALs, from first-generation resistance-based devices to sixth-generation adaptive apex locators. Key EAL models are provided for each generation.
3. The mechanisms of EALs are explained, noting they measure changes in resistance or impedance as a file tip approaches the apex. Accuracy and limitations of each generation are summarized.
This document discusses gingival recession, including its definitions, classifications, etiology, factors affecting treatment outcomes, and treatments. It provides an overview of several classification systems for gingival recession, including those proposed by Sullivan and Atkins, Miller, Mahajan, Cairo, and Ashish Kumar. Miller's classification is the most widely used but has limitations, so modifications have been suggested. The document also proposes a new comprehensive classification system that aims to address the limitations of previous systems.

radiographic diagnosis of periodontal diseaseshabeel pn
Radiographs are an essential tool for diagnosing periodontal disease by assessing bone loss. Early periodontitis appears on radiographs as localized bone erosions while advanced cases show generalized horizontal bone loss. Vertical bone defects can also be seen, appearing as widened ligament spaces or loss of cortical plates. Furcation involvement initially widens the ligament but may progress to deep vertical defects. Aggressive periodontitis in young people causes rapid, widespread bone destruction and early tooth loss. Follow-up radiographs after treatment can demonstrate bone fill-in and sharpening of bony contours.

This document discusses aggressive periodontitis, specifically localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP) and generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP). It defines aggressive periodontitis as a type of periodontal disease that mainly affects teenagers and young adults, causing deep pockets and advanced bone loss. The key differences between LAP and GAP are that LAP affects a limited number of teeth, usually molars and incisors, while GAP affects at least three permanent teeth beyond molars and incisors. Risk factors include genetic and immunological factors. Microorganisms like P. gingivalis are often detected in plaque samples.
AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS
PRESENTER
DR. REBICCA RANJIT
DEPT. OF PERIODONTOLOGY & ORAL IMPLANTOLOGY
Why is there localisation of disease to 1st molars and incisors in LAP?
Often subjects present with attachment loss that does not fit the specific diagnostic criteria (AP or chronic periodontitis).
Schenkein et al. 1995: cigarette smoking was shown to be a risk factor for patients with generalized forms of AgP.
Smokers with GAP had more affected teeth and greater mean levels of attachment loss than patients with GAP who did not smoke.
IgG2 serum levels as well as antibody levels against A.a. are significantly depressed in subjects with GAP who smoked.
Chronic periodontitis is an infectious disease that results in inflammation of the gums and bones supporting the teeth. It is characterized by progressive gum attachment loss and bone loss over time. Symptoms include bleeding gums, spaces opening between teeth, and occasional pain. Risk factors include poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, and genetic factors. Treatment involves nonsurgical approaches like deep cleaning below the gumline to remove bacterial plaque and tartar, followed by surgical procedures if needed. Regular maintenance care is important to prevent further progression of the disease.
Aggressive periodontitis is a rapidly progressing form of periodontitis that can be localized or generalized. It typically affects younger individuals under 30 years old. Localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP) presents with severe bone and attachment loss localized to the first molars and incisors. Generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP) affects at least three teeth besides the first molars and incisors. Both forms are associated with bacteria like Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Treatment involves non-surgical therapy like scaling and root planing along with systemic antibiotics to eliminate bacteria from tissues and prevent reinfection.
This document discusses aggressive periodontitis, including its definition, classification, clinical characteristics, diagnostic criteria, and treatment modalities. Aggressive periodontitis is defined as a rare, severe form of periodontitis characterized by early onset and familial aggregation. It can be localized or generalized. Treatment involves nonsurgical and surgical therapies like scaling and root planing as well as adjunctive systemic or local antibiotics. Maintaining frequent periodontal maintenance visits is important for long-term disease control.
This document reports a case study of a 63-year-old male patient with an unusual presentation of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF). POFs typically affect younger females in the maxillary anterior gingiva. In this case, the POF occurred in an older male patient in the mandibular anterior gingiva. Histological examination of the excised lesion found features consistent with POF, including calcified deposits resembling cementum or bone within a cellular fibrous connective tissue stroma. While the etiology of POF remains uncertain, this case supports the view that at least some POFs may be true neoplastic lesions rather than purely reactive proliferations.
This document provides an overview of aggressive periodontitis. It begins with definitions and history, then describes the clinical and radiographic features. There are two main classifications: localized aggressive periodontitis which affects first molars and incisors, and generalized aggressive periodontitis which affects many teeth. The etiology is multifactorial involving microbial, host, and environmental factors. The document discusses the role of bacteria like Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and highlights differences from chronic periodontitis. Diagnosis involves clinical, radiographic, microbiological and immunological assessments.
Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma: A Case Reportiosrjce
This case report describes a peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) in a 50-year-old male patient. The patient presented with a 3x3 cm swelling in the mandibular left posterior region. Radiographs showed well-marginated radiopaque lesions with radiolucent foci suggestive of calcifications. Histopathological examination revealed variable thickness stratified squamous epithelium with fibrovascular connective tissue containing dense collagen fibers, compressed blood vessels, chronic inflammatory cells, and osseous-like structures, confirming the diagnosis of POF. POF is a benign reactive gingival lesion that is commonly mistaken for other lesions clinically. Complete surgical excision is the recommended treatment due to the lesion's recurrence
The document discusses periodontal diseases, which affect the tissues that surround and support teeth. It defines the periodontium and periodontal diseases. The most common periodontal diseases are gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup. Periodontitis is a more advanced form involving loss of bone and tissues that support the teeth. The document outlines the classification, causes, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and management of periodontal diseases. Effective treatment requires eliminating plaque and other contributing factors, followed by corrective procedures and long-term maintenance.
This document provides an overview of diagnosing periodontal diseases. It discusses the importance of gathering a thorough case history including social history, medical history, dental history, and clinical examination. The clinical examination involves assessing oral hygiene, gingival health using indices, probing pocket depths, clinical attachment levels, dental plaque, calculus, and radiographs. Making an accurate diagnosis is essential for determining an intelligent treatment plan.

This document provides information on aggressive periodontitis, including:
- It was reclassified in 1999 into localized and generalized forms.
- Localized aggressive periodontitis primarily affects the first molars and incisors of adolescents and is associated with A. actinomycetemcomitans. Generalized aggressive periodontitis affects multiple teeth and has a poorer antibody response.
- Screening can involve measuring bone loss on bitewing radiographs. Probing is used for older patients. A. actinomycetemcomitans and neutrophil abnormalities contribute to the etiology and pathogenesis.
1. The document discusses the relationship between endodontic and periodontal diseases and lesions. It defines endodontic lesions as inflammatory processes affecting the periapical tissues due to root canal infections, and periodontal lesions as inflammatory processes affecting the periodontal tissues due to dental plaque.
2. There are several classifications of perio-endo lesions including primary endodontic/periodontal lesions, and combined lesions where the diseases interact. Communication between the pulp and periodontium can occur through pathways like the apical foramen or lateral canals.
3. Diagnosis involves tests like vitality testing, radiographs, and probing, while treatment depends on the type of lesion and may involve endodontic, periodontal
This brief lecture talk about very important topic in endodontic diagnosis and it is the Endodontic-Periodontal Relationship. It's directed to the level of mind of undergraduate students. I tried to keep it as simple and coherent as possible
Chronic periodontitis is a bacterial infection that causes inflammation within the tissues supporting the teeth and leads to progressive bone and attachment loss. It is characterized by biofilm formation, periodontal inflammation, and attachment/bone loss. While usually slow-progressing, it can occur at different ages and have intermittent active destructive periods followed by inactive periods. Key microbial pathogens associated with chronic periodontitis include Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Periodontitis progression may be influenced by systemic and environmental factors like smoking and diabetes.
This document discusses periodontal disease and the role of radiographs in diagnosis. It notes that periodontal disease includes gingivitis and various forms of periodontitis. Bacterial plaque and host inflammatory response are required for disease. Risk factors include poor oral hygiene, diabetes, and smoking. Both clinical examination and radiographs are needed for a complete assessment, as radiographs provide information on bone levels not visible clinically. Radiographs help evaluate bone loss patterns, furcation involvement, and other factors, but have limitations due to 2D images and inability to see soft tissues. Careful clinical and radiographic examination together can determine the extent of periodontal disease.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
18. •The depth of this sulcus, as determined in
histologic sections, has been reported as 1.8 mm.
•Probing depth of a clinically normal gingival
sulcus in is 2 to 3 mm.
30. Changes in the Consistency
In Gingival Disease
Both chronic and acute inflammations produce changes
int the normal firm and resilient consistency of the
gingiva.
Chronic gingivitis = edematous – (destructive) ,
fibrotic –(repairative) changes coexist
The consistency of the gingiva is determined by their
relative predominance.
34. Surface Texture Changes in Disease
The surface of normal gingiva usually
exhibits numerous small depressions
and elevations = stippling
In chronic inflammation the surface
is either smooth and shiny or firm
and nodular
This depends on whether the dominant
changes are exudative or fibrotic
35. Smooth, Shiny Tissue
Can be:
exudative
Epithelial atrophy in atrophic gingivitis
Chronic desquamative gingivitis can also have
peeling of the surface
62. Symptoms:
Because chronic periodontatitis is usually
painless , patients may less likely to seek
treatment and accept treatment
recommendations.
Occasionally ,pain may be present in the
absence of caries due to exposed roots that
an sensitive to heat ,cold ,or both.
The presence of areas of food impaction
may add to the patients discomfort.

age (however may be older).
• Generalized proximal attachment loss
affecting at least three teeth other than first
molars and incisors.
• Pronounced episodic nature of periodontal
destruction.

102. Supine Patient position
Patient’s heels should be slightly higher
than tip of his nose, good blood flow to
the head
Mouth is close to resting elbow of
operator
103. * Patient:
Instrumentation of maxi. arch, raise the chin
slightly to provide optimal visibility and
accessibility
Instrumentation of mand. arch, lower the
chin until mandible is parallel to floor
106. * Optimum Visibility
The following methods are effective for
retraction
1) Use of mirror to deflect the cheek while the finger
of non-operating hands retract the lip and protect
the angle of mouth from irritation by the mirror
handle
107. 2) Use the mirror alone to retract lip and
cheek
3) Use the mirror to retract tongue
4) Use the fingers of non-operating hand to
retract
the lip
5) Combination of the preceding
110. General principles of instrumentation
* Accessibility (position of operator &
patient)
* Visibility, illumination and retraction
* Condition of instruments
* Maintaining a clean field
* Instrument stability
* Instrument activation
111. * Condition of instruments
(sharpness)
Sharp instruments enhance tactile sensation
and allow the clinician to work more
precisely and
efficiently
* Maintaining a clean field
Saliva and gingival bleeding interfere
visibility and impede (妨礙)control
112. General principles of instrumentation
* Accessibility (position of operator &
patient)
* Visibility, illumination and retraction
* Condition of instruments
* Maintaining a clean field
* Instrument stability
* Instrument activation
113. * Instrument stability
Two factors of major importance in
providing
stability are the instrument grasp and finger
rest
a. Instrument grasp
A proper grasp is essential for precise
control
of movements made during periodontal
instrumentation
115. Modified pen grasp
The middle finger is positioned so that the side
the
pad next to the fingernail is resting on the
instrument shank. The index finger is bent at
second
joint from the finger tip and is positioned well
above
the middle finger on the same
side of the handle
117. b. Finger rest
Serves to stabilize the hand and instrument
by
providing a firm fulcrum as movement are
made
to activate the instrument. Generally be
classified
as intraoral finger or extraoral fulcrum
* Intraoral finger rests
(1) Conventional
(2) Cross arch
(3) Opposite arch
(4) Finger on finger
119. b. Finger rest
May be generally be classified as intraoral
finger
or extraoral fulcrum
* Extraoral fulcrum
(1) Palm up
(2) Palm down
120. General principles of instrumentation
* Accessibility (position of operator &
patient)
* Visibility, illumination and retraction
* Condition of instruments
* Maintaining a clean field
* Instrument stability
* Instrument activation
121. * Instrument activation
1. Adaptation
2. Angulation ---Different angulation
position
will cause different effective
3. Lateral pressure
4. Strokes
122. * Adaptation: the manner in which the
working
end of a periodontal instrument is placed
against
the surface of a tooth
To make the working end of instrument
conform to the contour of tooth surface
To avoid trauma to soft tissues and root
surface, to ensure maximum
effectiveness
of instrumentation
123. * Adaptation
The lower third of the
working end must be
kept
in constant contact with
the tooth while it is
moving over varying
tooth contours
124. * Adaptation
If only the toe or tip is in adapted, the
soft
tissue can be distended or compressed
by
the back of the working end, also
causing trauma and discomfort, the toe
can gouge
or groove the root surface
125. *Angulation: the angle between the
face of a bladed instrument and
tooth surface, also called “tooth-
blade relationship”
126. *The working-end is inserted at an angle
between 0- and 40-degrees.
The 0-to40o angle is referred
to as a closed angle
127. *During S/RP, optimal angulation is
between 45 to 90 degrees.
The exact angulation depends on the
amount and nature of calculus, the
procedure being performed, and the
condition of the tissue
128. * Lateral pressure: the pressure created
when
force is applied against the surface of a
tooth
with the cutting edge of a blade
instrument
The exact amount of pressure applied
must be varied according to the nature
of the calculus and according to the
stroke
129. * Strokes: exploratory, scaling & root
planing
Exploratory stroke--- the instrument is
grasped
lightly and adapted with light pressure
against the
tooth to achieve maximum tactile sensation
130. Scaling stroke is a short, powerful pull
stroke
* The scaling motion should be initiated
in the forearm and transmitted from
the wrist to the hand with a slight
flexing
of the fingers
131. Wrist and forearm motion, finger flexing both
are
necessary for complete instrumentation
*The wrist and forearm motion, pivoting
in an arc on the finger rest, produce a more
powerful stroke --- preferred for scaling
*Finger flexing --- for precise control over
stroke length in areas such as line angles
and when horizontal strokes are used on the
lingual or facial aspects narrow-rooted teeth
132. Root planing stroke: a moderate to light
pull
stroke for final smoothing and planing of
root
surface
*A continuous series of long, overlapping
shaving stroke is achieved
134. Scaling: instrumentation to remove
all
supragingival uncalcified
and
calcified accretions and all
gross subgingival accretion
135. Root planing: instrumentation to
remove
the microbial flora on the root surface
or
lying free in the pocket, all fleck of
calculus
and all contaminated cementum and
dentin
136. Detection skills
*Visual examination--- good light and a
clean field.
Compressed air supragingival
calculus
chalky white; subgingival calculus dark
shadow
* Tactile sensation--- light exploratory
strokes are activated vertically up and
down on root surface
137. Detection skills
* Tactile sensation--- the distance
between apical edge of calculus and
bottom of the pocket is 0.2 – 1.0 mm
* Illumination
138. The rationale for root planing
*Assumption that a smooth root surface
will be less plaque retentive and
therefore the danger of re-infection
and recurrence of disease should be
less
*Reattachment of epithelial and
connective tissue would be likely on a
smooth root surface than on a rough
one
140. * Principles for Gracey curettes
usage
1. Determine the correct cutting edge
2. Make sure the lower shank is parallel
to
root surface to be instrumented
3. Using finger rest
4. Concentrate on using lower third of
cutting edge for calculus remove
5. Moderate lateral pressure
141. * Determine cutting edge of Gracey
curette
1. Hold face of curette blade parallel
with
floor and looking down on the face
2. Notice the blade curve
3. Larger, outer curve is
the correct cutting edge
142. * The face of blade be close against
the
tooth so it can only be partially
seen
143. * Make sure lower shank is parallel
with
root surface
144. The functional shank extends from the
first bend in the shank up to working-
end
The lower shank is the bent section of
the
shank nearest to the working-end
145. To avoid over-instrumentation, a
delicate
transition from short, powerful scaling
strokes
to longer, lighter root planing strokes
must be
made as soon as calculus and initial
roughness
146. *Hoe, files and ultrasonic instruments
are
also used for subgingival scaling of
heavy
calculus but not recommended for root
planing
*Curette is preferred for subgingival
scaling and root planing
147. A common error in proximal
instrumentation
is failing to reach mid-proximal region
apical
to the contact point because this area is
relatively inaccessible and this technique
require more skill
148. * The relationship between location of
finger
rest and working area is important
1. The finger rest or fulcrum must be
position
to allow lower shank of instrument to be
parallel or nearly parallel with tooth
surface
being treated
149. * The relationship between location of
finger rest and working area is
important
150. 2. Finger rest must be positioned
enable the
operator to use wrist-arm motion to
activate strokes
151. Modes of calculus attachment reported
by
Zander in 1953
1. Attachment by means of secondary cuticle
2. Attachment of calculus matrix to
irregularities
of cementum surface corresponding
to previous insertion location of
Sharpey’s fibers
152. 3. Penetration of microorganisms of
calculus
into cementum
4. Attachment in areas of cementum
resorption
via mechanical locking into undercuts
153. Limitation of the effectiveness of scaling
and
root planing
1. Anatomy of roots
2. Depth of pockets
3. Areas of mouth being treatment
4. Inadequate instruments for diagnosis
5. Inadequate instruments for treatment
6. Range of mouth opening
7. Dexterity of operator
154. Palato-gingival groove
* Developmental abnormality
* A funnel for the accumulation of
plaque
and calculus in the depth of groove
* Prevalence on incisors ranges from 1.9
%
to 4.4 %
155. Cervical enamel projections
*Rapid progression of pocket formation
(precluding
an organic connective tissue attachment)
*Hemidesmosome attachment in CEJ less
resistant to breakdown by bacterial plaque
rapid
progression of disease
164. Information to pt’ with root
sensitivity
1. Sensitivity usually temporary
2. Through plaque control
3. Not discourage if desensitizing agent
does not produce immediate effect
4. Avoid foods that heighten sensitivity
179. What is PMT?
PMT = Periodontal MaintenanceTherapy
also know as:
supportive periodontal therapy (SPT)
preventive maintenance
recall maintenance
procedures performed at selected intervals
to assist the periodontal patient in
maintaining oral health
180. Rationale for PMT
tooth loss inversely proportional to SPT
frequency
reduced risk of future attachment loss
despite incomplete plaque removal
monitoring
plaque removal
181. Therapeutic goals for PMT
To prevent or minimize the recurrence and
progression of periodontal disease in patients
who have been previously treated for
periodontal diseases.
To prevent or reduce the incidence of tooth loss
by monitoring the dentition and any prosthetic
replacements of the natural teeth.
To increase the probability of locating and
treating, in a timely manner, other diseases or
conditions within the oral cavity.
183. Components of PMT appointment
radiographic review
assessment of disease status
184. Components of PMT appointment
assessment of personal oral hygiene
removal of dental plaque and calculus from
supragingival and subgingival regions
behavioral modification
root planing

186. Frequency of PMT
For most patients presenting with
gingivitis but without history of
attachment loss- performed on a
semiannual basis.
For patients with a history of
periodontitis, PMT should be performed
at intervals of less than 6 months -
most commonly every 3 months.
