Perio Principles
This term is the distance between the CEJ to the tip of the perio probe.
What is CAL?
This is the plaque index for a patient that has no plaque.
What is PI of 0?
This color corresponds to the piezo tip used most commonly for a regular cleaning.
What is green?
This is the surgery to remove gingiva.
What is a gingivectomy?
This is the late-stage disease state of progressive bone loss and inflammation surrounding an implant.
What is peri-implantitis?
This is the CAL if the PD = 2mm and FGM-CEJ = -2mm.
What is 0?
This is the staging and grading for a patient that has CAL of 5-6 on a few posterior teeth in all quadrants, is missing 5 teeth, and smokes a pack of cigarettes a day.
What is Stage IV, Grade C?
This is a gracey is used for the distals of posterior teeth.
What is the 13/4?
This is the surgery to reposition a frenum when the frenum is very close to the attached gingiva and is detaching the papilla upon movement.
What is a frenectomy?
This is the early-stage disease state of inflammation due to bacteria surrounding an implant.
What is peri-implant mucositis?
This is the Glickman Classification if there is a through and through lesion.
What is Grade III?
This classification system includes Good, Fair, Poor, Questionable, and Hopeless.
What is McGuire and Nunn?
This gracey can only be used on anterior teeth.
What is the 1/2?
This type of incision is typically done during a gingivectomy.
What is the external bevel incision?
This is the distance needed to be maintained between an implant and the adjacent tooth’s root.
What is 1.5 mm?
This is the term for what is observed when the FGM-CEJ is a negative value.
What is gingival overgrowth?)
According to Kwok’s classification system, this prognosis involves local and/or systemic factors that cannot be controlled.
What is Unfavorable?
This instrument can detect a tooth that has a Glickman Classification of III.
What is the Nabers probe?
This flap design is done to expose more of the tooth’s crown.
What is an apically positioned flap?
The progression from bone driven approach has evolved to this approach.
What is the restorative driven approach?
These are the 3 tests to differentiate between attached and unattached gingiva.
What are the visual test, shiller’s iodine test, and the roll technique?
This score in the Silness and Loe’s Plaque Index scale indicates plaque in the interdental area.
What is PI of 3?
This angulation is the ideal way to hold a scaler between instrument face and tooth surface during an SRP.
What is 60-80°?
These three types of medications cause gingival hypertrophy.
What are: immunosuppressants, calcium channel blockers, and anticonvulsants?
This is the technique used when the implant abutment is narrower than the implant platform.
What is platform switching?
