🗑
using an epidemiologic appraoch in which previous incidents of medical conditin are used instead of gathering new info. from a radomized pop.   case-control studies  
🗑
a progressive scale that assigns a numeric score to each tooth. weighted more toward bone loss than ging. inflammation. each tooth added and averaged by all teeth in mouth   community index of periodontal treatment needs  
🗑
focuses on a specific subpopulation, such as children born on a certain date in a specific   cohort studies  
🗑
the scientific method for the analysis of data gathered from 2 or more samples at one point in time   cross sectional series  
🗑
inquiry of date in search for facts. entire groups are focus of study.   epidemiologic research  
🗑
study of health and disease and associated factors in human populations.   epidemiology  
🗑
formulation of general principles from sets of infor.   generalization  
🗑
periodontal disease taht occurs throughout the oral cavity   generalized aggressive periodontitis  
🗑
the pattern of movement of gingival fluid   gingivial fluid flow  
🗑
an ass. tool used to eval. a case of gingivitix based on visual inspect. of the gingivae that take into consideration the color and firmness of the tissue and the POB   gingival index  
🗑
the rate of occurrence of new disease in a op. over a given period of time   incidence  
🗑
the ratio of one measurable value to another   indexes or indices  
🗑
ass. with young people, in the past known as periodontosis or juvenile perio   localized agressive perio  
🗑
the most commonly used tehnique to quantify tooth mobility, in which 2 metal instrument handles are placed on either side of the tooth to be texted and the tooth is moved in a facial ling. direction.   miller index of tooth mobility  
🗑
an ass. of gingival condition based on probe depths and attachment loss in six teeth as a rep. of the entire dentition teeth-# 3,9,12,19,25,28   periodontal disease index  
🗑
to identify which patients need a full exam and which patients require only a screening exam in the private practice setting   periodontal screening and recording  
🗑
places the most significance on the smount of plaque at the gingival margin because of the importance of the proximity and relationship of plaque in the location to gingival inflammation, measured by bleeding   plaque index of silness of loe  
🗑
the number of cases of a disease present in a given opoulation at one time   prevalence  
🗑
which are exposures, behaviors, and chracteristics ass. with disease   risk factors  
🗑
progressive scale that assigns a numeric score to each tooth. weighted more toward bone loss than ging. inflammation. each tooth added and averaged by all teeth in mouth   russell's periodontal index  
🗑
a selected part of a population that is taken to be representative of the whole population   sample  
🗑
the level of disease   severity  
🗑
has both a debris index for plaque and a calculus index. the scores can be used singly to provide a plaque index or a calculus index, or they may be combined to provide an oral hygiene index   simplified oral hygiene index  
🗑
a measure of bleeding on probing, in which measurements are taken at four points around each tooth: the m.d.b.and l. surfaces   sulcus bleeding index  
🗑
measures supragingival calculus: was originally designed to measure the mandibular incisors but also has been applied to other teeth and studies of "tartar-control" toothpastes   volpe manhole index  
🗑
