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.
