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.
Useful Videos
- Two YouTube video links are provided for supplementary learning.
Recap
- Diagrams/images are shown for periodontal assessment and charting methods with numbers 1-6 on models of teeth showing different aspects of the teeth.
BSP UK Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Periodontal Diseases
- The guidelines outline steps for managing periodontal diseases, including diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up.
- Key aspects include oral health and risk assessment, diagnosis, and care planning.
- Building optimal treatment outcomes involves factors like patient-centered care, oral hygiene, risk factor reduction, treatment options, and professional care.

- Different target goals for plaque reduction or eradication are discussed for the patients, aiming for 95 % plaque-free state or over 90 %.
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.
Bleeding Score
- The presentation explains what bleeding represents and distinguishes between immediate and delayed bleeding based on the time it takes after probing to initiate bleeding.
- Ways of observing and recording bleeding results from probing are listed.
How Do You Take A Bleeding Score?
- Proper instruments and techniques for taking a bleeding score are demonstrated in a slide showing the tools.
Troubleshooting
- Dealing with potential challenges and difficulties in patient management and procedures are discussed.
