Periodontal Disease- Classifications and Coding
Our office recently decided to review the ADA and AAP classifications of periodontal disease. Its amazing how you forget things if you don't use them all the time :)
Case Type I: Gingivitis: no attachment loss, bleeding may or may not be present
Case Type II: Early Periodontitis: pocket depths or attachment loss 3 - 4 mm
BOP may be present
localized areas of recession
possible class I furcation involvement
Case Type III: Moderate Periodontitis: pocket depths or attachment loss 4 - 6mm
BOP
Grade I or II furcation
class I mobility
Case Type IV: Advanced Periodontitis: pocket depths or attachment loss over 6mm
BOP
Grade II or III furcation
mobility Class II or III

Coffee is the thing that keeps my teeth looking less than their best. I really need to find a way to get my teeth whiter, but still drink coffee! What are some recommendations that you'd suggest?

ReplyDeleteWhen gingivitis is not treated, it can advance to “periodontitis” (which means “inflammation around the tooth”). In periodontitis, gums pull away from the teeth and form spaces (called “pockets”) that become infected. The body’s immune system fights the bacteria as the plaque spreads and grows below the gum line. Bacterial toxins and the body’s natural response to infection start to break down the bone and connective tissue that hold teeth in place. If not treated, the bones, gums, and tissue that support the teeth are destroyed. The teeth may eventually become loose and have to be removed. You can also find more references and review on the dental services.
