Term
Why is calculus irregularly shaped? |
|
Definition
Because of mechanical removal from the cheeks and lips. As it gets knocked off of brushed off it begins to grow from that spot again |

Term
In what 3 ways do local risk factors increase susceptibility toperiodontal disease? |
|
Definition
- Create niches
- increase amount of plaque pathogenicity
- prevent effective plaque control
|
|
|
Term
What are some risk factors that increase plaque retention? |
|
Definition
Morphology, calculus, restorative contour,decay |
|
|
Term
How do "risk factors" affect plaque retention? |
|
Definition
- increase bacteria
- prevent cleansing
- increase pathogenicity
|
|
|
Term
What is the value of performing a periodontal risk assessment? |
|
Definition
-
Predicting an oral disease
-
Help identify individuals and groups who would benefit from targeted interventions
-
Increase clinician awareness
-
Provide a foundation for early recognition which identifies correct disease management technologies.
|
|
|
Term
Five step process in oral risk assessment |
|
Definition
1. Gather and review assessment data.
2. assess and analyze
3. Plan.
4. Recommend.
5. Evaluate or re-evaluate. |
|
|
Term

Definition
occlusal forces
food impaction
habots
faulty restorations |
|

Secondary- excessive force on unhealthy tissue
Parafunctional occlusal forces |

Term
3 points about occlusal trauma |
|
Definition
- abnormal forces on unhealthy periodontium
- pt already has migration of JE and loss of attachment
- tooth will experience rapid bone loss and increased pocket formation
|
|
|
Term
What is the difference between functional and parafunctional forces |
|
Definition
-
Functional: normal forces applied during mastication
-
Parafunctional: tooth to tooth contact when not masticating. (ie clenching, bruxism)
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Forcing food in between teeth stripping away gingiva and breaking down the periodontium opening the embrasures by blunting the papillia |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Excessive lateral pressure against the tooth which may traumatize the periodontium |
|
|
Term
How do restorations affect soft tissue |
|
Definition
They can encroach upon the biologic width and push the interpapilla away |
|
|
Term
• Be able to give examples of local risk factors and how each affects the risk of periodontal disease. |
|
Definition
• Tooth morphology
• Max. 1st premolars have a mesial concavity and max lateral incisors (palatogingival)
• Poorly contoured restorations
• Undercut or overcontoured restorations prevent cleansing and increase plaque retention
• Calculus
• Porous niches for bacteria |
|
|
Term
Know how a dental hygienist can assist in diagnosing and planning for intervention for each risk factor identified. |
|
Definition
-
Tooth morology- Explore areas that we know retain plaque ( max 1st premolars)
-
Poorly contoured restoration- Examine RADS, explore, discuss with Dr
-
Calculus-Remove calculus
|
|
|
Term
Know the different modes of attachment for calculus and level of difficulty of removal for each one. |
|
Definition
1. Pellicle
i. Attaches on the pellicle versus the tooth.
2. Irregularities on the tooth surface
i. Cracks, openings from detached PDL fibers, over instrumentation grooves
3. Direct contact of the calcified calculus and tooth
i. Calculus matrix interlocked with the inorganic crystals of the tooth |
