Oral Hygiene Indices
Measures thickness of soft deposits at gingival margin. Also known as the Plaque Index.
Biofilm Index
Index that measures conditions that can be reversed.
Reversible Index
How do you know a caries index is referring to permanent vs primary teeth?
Based on whether it is capitalized or not. Need to explain for credit
Are gingival indices reversible or irreversible?
Reversible
Is a Periodontal Index reversible or irreversible?
Irreversible
Assesses individual's performance in removing debris after toothbrushing instruction.
Patient Hygiene Performance
Index that measures all past and present of the condition/disease
Cumulative
What does DMFT/DMFS stand for?
Permanent dentition. Decayed, missing, filled, teeth/decayed, missing, filled surfaces
Measured by clinical observation by pressing the probe on the gingiva to determine firmness, and by "walking" the probe inside the gingival sulcus to determine bleeding.
Gingival Index
Describe the probe used in the CPI?
Probe that has 0.5, 3.5, 5.5, 8.5 and 11.5mm markings as well as a ball tip
Measures oral hygiene on selected teeth
Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S)
Index that measures disease/conditions that cannot be removed.
Irreversible Index
What does deft/dft or defs/dfs stand for?
primary teeth (decayed, extracted is needed, restored primary teeth/surfaces due to caries.
Measured by passing unwaxed floss on each side of the papilla, using a C-shape and one up and one down stroke.
Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI)
The CPI was later modified into what index?
PSR
What is the score range for poor using the Biofilm Index?
2.0-3.0
An example of an irreversible index?
Periodontal disease index (PDI)
Community Periodontal Index (CPI)
How do you calculate the DMFS?
28 teeth/128 surfaces
Measured by horizontally inserting a wooden interdental cleaner/stimulator four times, depressing into the papilla 1-2mm.
Eastman Interdental Bleeding Index
Which teeth are referred to as the Ramfjord teeth?
3, 9, 12, 19, 25 , 28
What teeth are included in the OHI-S?
3B, 8F, 14B, 19L, 24F, 30L
Index that assesses periodontal status of a community?
Community Periodontal Index (CPI)
What does the deft/dft or defs/dfs not include in the calculation?
A simple, easy-to-implement, dichotomous measure of the presence or absence of interproximal bleeding.
Gingival Bleeding Index
Using the CPI Codes:
What code denotes that the colored band is entirely hidden with 6mm pockets or greater?
Code 4
