100
Surrounds and supports the roots of the teeth in the jaw.
What is alveolar bone?
100
Tooth to bone
What are alveolodental fiber groups?
100
Fits snugly around the tooth but is not attached.
What is free (marginal)gingiva?
100
Systematic data collection that is documented.
What is an assessment?
100
These can be surrounding a whole tooth or can be on a specific surface of a tooth.
What is a disease site?
200
This type of bone has large spaces for blood supply and organic matrix.
What is cancellous or trabecular bone
200
Run in a horizontal direction from the cementum to the bone.
What are horizontal fiber groups?
200
The area the probe is inserted into.
What is the sulcus?
200
This is given in both a written and a verbal form.
What is informed consent?
200
These factors on calculus and tooth morphology increase biofilm retention.
What are irregular surfaces and rough surfaces?
300
Surrounds and gives support to the alveolar bone.
What are the cortical plates?
300
Present in only multirooted teeth.
What are interradicular fiber groups?
300
Keratinized covering of the outer surface of the free and attached gingiva.
What is oral epithelium?
300
This type of screening helps identify which patients need a comprehensive periodontal assessment.
What is a periodontal screening and recording (PSR)?
300
This removes calcium and magnesium from saliva and thus prevents them from being deposited on teeth.
What is pyrophosphates?
400
The vascular layer of cells that lines cavities and cannals.
What is endosteum?
400
Extend downward from the cementum to the alveolar crest.
What are alveolar crest groups?
400
The last protective barrier between plaque biofilm and underlying connective tissue.
What is junctional epithelium?
400
Whether this occurs spontaneously or is delayed, it needs to be documented.
What is BOP?
400
The developmental groove on the palatal surface of a tooth.
What is the palatogingival groove?
500
AKA Osteochondromas.
What is exostosis?
500
Remains the longest during the disease process or trauma.
What are interdental/trans-septal fiber groups?
500
This area is absent if teeth are missing or recession is present.
What is the col?
500
This type of mobility is documented as a Class II.
What is 1-2 mm of horizontal displacement in a facial-lingual direction?
500
This tooth to tooth occlusal force occurs when not in the act of eating.
What is parafunctional occlusal forces?
