Question
Answer
3 Types of mirror surfaces   -plane - concave - front surface  
🗑
Flat mirror, may produce double image   plane  
🗑
Magnifying mirror   concave  
🗑
Mirror with reflecting surface is on front surface of lens * front surface eliminates "ghost" images   front surface  
🗑
Three parts of a mouth mirror   handle, shank, and working end  
🗑
Mirror diameters vary, what are the different diameters   -5/8 inches -1 1/4 inches -1 1/2 inch -2 inch  
🗑
Mirrors are threaded 2 different ways   -plain stem -cone socket  
🗑
Handles that are better for hygienist   -thicker handles -light weight handles  
🗑
Mouth mirror is used for   -indirect vision -indirect illumination transillumination retraction  
🗑
Examples of indirect vision   -distal surface of posterior teeth -lingual surface of anterior teeth  
🗑
Reflection of light from dental overhead light   indirect illumination  
🗑
Reflection of light through the teeth Mirror held to reflect light from lingual aspect while facial teeth are examined   Transillumination  
🗑
Name of grasp when holding an instrument   modifies pen grasp  
🗑
Air compressor with tubing attachment to syringe   air source  
🗑
Has angled working end, can be turned for maxillary or mandibular application   air tip  
🗑
Avoid applying air directly into   pocket * subgingival biofilm may be forced into tissues  
🗑
Determination of accuracy of instrument by measurement of its variation from a standard   calibration  
🗑
Probing depth as measured from the cementoenamel junction, to location of probe tip at coronal level of attached periodontal tissues   clinical attachment level  
🗑
Slender stainless steel instrument with fine flexible, sharp point used for examination of surfaces of teeth to detect irregularities   explorer  
🗑
A vibration perceptible by palpation   fremitus * determination only on maxillary teeth  
🗑
Instrument used to measure mobility   periodontometer  
🗑
Smooth, slender instrument usually round in diameter with rounded tip designed for examination of teeth and soft tissues   probe  
🗑
Calibrated in millimeter increments to facilitate recordings for comparison with periodic assessments   probe  
🗑
Distance from gingival margin to location of periodontal probe tip at coronal border of attached periodontal tissues   probing depth  
🗑
Pertaining to the touch   tactile  
🗑
Ability to distinguish relative degrees of roughness and smoothness   -tactile discrimination -a.k.a. tactile sensitivity  
🗑
Two types of probes are   - traditional or standard manual - automated probes  
🗑
Developed and researched in attempt to overcome problems in obtaining consistent readings with traditional probes   automated probes  
🗑
Probe is used for   -assess periodontal status -sulcus & pocket survey - determine clinical attachment level - mucogingival exam 5) other gingival determinations 6) guide treatment 7) evaluate success & completeness of treatment 8) evaluation @ maintenance appointm  
🗑
A probe has 3 parts   -handle -angles shank working end  
🗑
What exam is used for recording perio probe depths   CPE -comprehensive periodontal exam  
🗑
Most common probe used is   hu-friedy  
🗑
When probe is at base of sulcus or crevice, at coronal end of junctional epithelium   normal health tissue  
🗑
When probe tip is within the junctional epithelium   gingivitis and early periodontitis  
🗑
When probe tip passes through the junctional epithelium to reach attached connective tissue fibers   advanced periodontitis  
🗑
Depth of probing varies around a tooth   true  
🗑
Gingival margin varies in its position on the tooth   true  
🗑
Proximal surfaces are approached by entering from   both facial and lingual aspects of tooth  
🗑
Gingival and periodontal infections begin in the _______ area more frequently than others   col  
🗑
Probing depth may be deepest directly under contact area because of   crater formation in alveolar bone  
🗑
Anatomic features of tooth surface wall of pocket influence the direction of probing   true  
🗑
During movement of the probe ___________ can be felt & evaluated   calculus and tooth surface irregularities  
🗑
General factors of probing are   accuracy & consistency so readings are dependable for comparison  
🗑
Factors that affect probe determinations are   -severity & extent of perio disease - probe - technique applied - placement problems  
🗑
Anatomic variations would be   -tooth contours -furcations -contact areas -anomalies  
🗑
Interferences would be   -calculus -irregular margins of restorations fixed dental protheses  
🗑
Accessibility/Visibility would be   -obstructed by tissue bleeding -limited opening by patient macroglossia  
🗑
Probe insertion with healthy or firm fibrotic tissue   insertion is more difficult because of close adaptation of tissue to tooth surface  
🗑
Probe insertion with spongy, soft tissue   gingival margin is loose & flabby because of destruction of underlying gingival fibers. probe inserts readily, bleeding can be expected on gentle probing  
🗑
Hold probe tip flat against   -tooth surface -probe is parallel with long axis of tooth for vertical insertion  
🗑
Slide probe along tooth surface __________ down to base of sulcus or pocket   vertically  
🗑
Maintain probe in sulcus or pocket of each tooth as probe is moved ___________   in a walking stroke  
🗑
Measuring is presence of visible recession   measure from cementoenamal junction to attachment  
🗑
Teeth with two roots   bifurcation  
🗑
Exam used to detect adequacy of width of attached gingiva, locate frenal attachments & their proximity to free gingiva, identify promptly the mucogingival junction   mucogingival examination  
🗑
Area where tension pulls free gingiva away from tooth indicates   no attached gingiva  
🗑
General purposes and uses of explorers   -detect texture and character of tooth surfaces -examine supragingival tooth surfaces -examine subgingival tooth surfaces -define extent of instrumentation needed -evaluate completeness of treatment  
🗑
Working end of explorer is   slender, wirelike, metal tip that is circular in cross section and tapers to fine sharp point  
🗑
Each tooth has ____ readings (areas to be measured)   -6 -3 facial -3 lingual  
🗑
