Study Notes
Plaque Visualization
- Plaque can be visualized through air drying; it is not stained.
- Community Trials assess effectiveness through entire communities, focusing on factors like accessibility, cost, and culture.
- Study scores indicate plaque presence, ranging from score 0 (no plaque) to score 3 (heavy plaque accumulation).
Indices Used in Periodontal Disease Studies
- Multiple indices measure various factors related to periodontal health:
- Periodontal Index (Russel, 1956)
- Oral Hygiene Index (OHI, Greene and Vermillion, 1960)
- Plaque Index (PI, Silness and Loe)
- Interdental Hygiene Index (HYG)
- Hygiene Index (HI)
- Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI)
- Gingival Index (GI)
- Gingival Index Simplified (GI-S, Lindhe, 1981)
- Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI, Ainamo, 1975)
- Papilla Bleeding Index (PBI)
- Ramfjord Teeth
- Periodontal Disease Index (PDI)
- Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN)
Interdental Hygiene Index (HYG)
- Records percentage of plaque-free surfaces; evaluated with a binary decision regarding stained plaque.
- Sensitive index that measures both small and large plaque quantities, particularly in interdental areas.
Gingival Index (GI)
- Scored based on inflammation on the facial, lingual, and medial surfaces.
- Comprised scores from no inflammation (Grade 0) to severe inflammation (Grade 3).
Hygiene Index (HI)
- Measures plaque on all tooth surfaces; provides a dichotomous yes/no result.
- Limited for individual patients due to its coarse scoring system, which risks information loss regarding plaque accumulation.
Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI)
- Evaluates bleeding from the sulcus post-probing; reflects gingival health (no bleeding indicates health).
- Originally designed for routine individual practice rather than broader epidemiological use.
Papilla Bleeding Index (PBI)
- Focuses on immediate evaluation of gingival condition based on bleeding from papillae.
Dental Calculus
- Composed of mineralized bacterial plaque forming tartar on teeth and prostheses.
- Types:
- Supragingival Calculus: Located above the gingival margin, visible, typically creamy white or yellow.
- Subgingival Calculus: Below the gingival margin, not visible during clinical exams, often dark or greenish-black.
Characteristics of Calculus
- Supragingival calculus consists of materials that detach easily but may rapidly recur.
- Subgingival calculus is hard, firmly attached, and typically extends towards the base of periodontal pockets in chronic cases.
Composition of Dental Calculus
- Inorganic content constitutes 70-90% of dental calculus, with various mineral forms including hydroxyapatite and brushite.
Formation and Influences on Calculus
- Formation depends on bacterial plaque amounts and salivary gland secretions.
- Common locations for supragingival calculus include the buccal surfaces of maxillary molars and lingual surfaces of mandibular anterior teeth.

Description
This quiz explores the concept of community trials and their effectiveness compared to clinical trials. It examines the subjective nature of measuring outcomes and the various factors that affect community-based studies such as accessibility, cost, and culture.
