what does a furcation grade of 1 indicate? | up to 3mm horizontal attachment loss |
what does a furcation grade of 2 indicate? | > 3mm of horizontal attachment loss but NOT through and through |
what does a furcation grade of 3 indicate? | a through and through furcation lesion |
what teeth are re modified plaque and bleeding scores carried out on? | Ramfjord’s teeth: - 16, 21, 24, 36, 41, 44 |
When performing a modified plaque score, how are the teeth analysed? | Each Ramfjord tooth is split into 3 surfaces - interproximal - buccal - palatal/lingual score of 0-2 is given to each surface |
what are the possible plaque scores and what do they show as? | 0 = no plaque 1 = no visible plaque, presence of plaque on probing 2 = visible plaque |
when performing a modified bleeding score, how are the teeth analysed? | each Ramfjord tooth is split into 4 surfaces (mesial, distal, buccal, palatal/lingual) probe is run around gingival margin at 45º check for bleeding for up to 30 secs give score of 0 or 1 |
what does a bleeding score of 0 indicate? | no bleeding present |
what does a bleeding score of 1 indicate? | marginal bleeding present |
