    Study Notes

    Periodontal Assessment 3: Plaque and Bleeding Score

    • Plaque and bleeding scores are taken periodically to monitor oral hygiene.
    • Disclosing aids are used to visually identify plaque, which is usually the same color as teeth.
    • Plaque scores are crucial for monitoring oral health.

    Intended Learning Outcomes

    • Students will review previous components of periodontal assessment.
    • Students will learn the process of disclosing and different types of toned disclosing solutions, as well as their modes of delivery.
    • Discussion of the benefits of disclosing for both patients and clinicians.
    • Demonstration of plaque score calculation using 4-point and 6-point charting methods.
    • Interpretation of plaque scores and their impact on oral health messages.
    • Explanation of bleeding scores in relation to oral health practices, including immediate and delayed bleeding.
    • Interpretation of bleeding scores and their impact on oral health messages.

    Buccal, Lingual or Interproximal?

    • Identification and location of plaque in the mouth.

    Communication with Team Members

    • Guidelines for communication with team members, including clear communication, indicating starting points, crossing midlines, and asking questions when in doubt.
