| Periodontal charting | What would a periodontist use to record the depth of periodonta |
| three | What is the depth of a normal sulcus? |
| Laser | Which term describes light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation? |
| Periodontal explorer | What instrument is used to locate deposits of calculus? |
| Noneugenol dressing | What is most commonly placed over the surgical site to assist in the healing process? |
| ultrasonic scaler | The instrument that provides rapid calculus removal is |
| gingivoplasty | The surgical periodontal treatment that involves the surgical reshaping and recontouring of gingival tissues i |
| Tetracycline | Which of the following antibiotic therapies is most effective in treating periodontal disease? |
| dental assistant | must have a thorough understanding of periodontal diseases and the types of periodontal instruments and procedures |
| Patients | are referred by the general dentist or dental hygienist for treatment of a periodontal condition |
| Periodontal charting | includes pocket readings, furcations, tooth mobility, exudate (pus), and gingival recession |
| Dental history | is used to gather information about conditions that could indicate periodontal disease |
| Mobility | is recorded with the use of the following scale: 0 = Normal 1 = Slight mobility 2 = Moderate mobility 3 = Extreme mobility of acids |
| Radiographs | Radiographs are a valuable aid for evaluating periodontal disease |
| Sickle scalers | are used primarily to remove large deposits of supragingival calculus |
| Curettes | are used to remove subgingival calculus, smooth rough root surfaces (root planing), and remove the diseased soft tissue lining of the periodontal pocket (soft tissue curettage) |
| Pocket markers | These perforations, are referred to as bleeding points, are used to outline the area for an incision on the gingivae |
| Prophylaxis | is the complete removal of calculus, soft deposits, plaque, and stains from all supragingival and unattached subgingival tooth surfaces |
| Root planing | is performed after scaling procedures to remove any remaining particles of calculus and necrotic cementum embedded in the root surface |
| Gingival curettage | also referred to as subgingival curettage, is the scraping of the gingival lining of a periodontal pocket This is performed to remove necrotic (dead) tissue from the pocket wall |
| Tetracycline | is an antibiotic that is particularly useful for the treatment of periodontitis, early-onset periodontitis, and rapidly destructive periodontitis |
| Excisional | is periodontal surgery used to remove the excess tissue It is the most rapid means of reducing periodontal pockets |
| Gingivectomy | is the surgical removal of diseased gingival tissues This procedure is performed when it is necessary to reduce the depth of the periodontal pocket and when fibrous gingival tissue must be removed |
| Gingivoplasty | involves the surgical reshaping and contouring of the gingival tissues |
| Incisional Surgery | Also known as periodontal flap surgery or simply flap surgery, incisional surgery is performed when excisional surgery is not indicated |
| Osteoplasty | bone is contoured and reshaped In addition, bone may be added, either through bone grafting (taking bone from one area and placing it in another) or placement of bone substitute materials |
| Ostectomy | ostectomy is performed if a patient needs a denture and the bony growth would interfere with the comfort and fit of the denture |
| Crown Lengthening | A surgical procedure that is designed to expose more tooth structure for the placement of a restoration such as a crown |
| Postoperative | instructions should be given to the patient to ease discomfort and promote healing |
| Chlorhexidine | mouthwash may also be used during the first week to freshen the mouth and inhibit plaque formation during the early stages of healing |
| Periodontal Surgical Dressings | Zinc oxide–eugenol (ZOE) dressing Noneugenol dressing |
| Noneugenol dressing | is the most widely used type of periodontal dressing |
| Laser Safety | Precautions must be taken to protect both the patient and dental staff |
