Question 52 (part 2) · LDEK · Classification of periodontal diseases
A 50-year-old, generally healthy, non-smoking patient presents for treatment. Clinical examination revealed presence of 32 teeth with small amount of supra- and subgingival calculus, loss of connective tissue attachment on approximal surfaces of teeth, not exceeding 4 mm in all teeth, as well as gingival pockets of depth up to 5mm at molars and premolars. Radiographic bone loss was up to 20% of root length. The symptoms indicate:
- A. stage I, grade A periodontitis, localised.
- B. stage I, grade B periodontitis, generalised.
- C. stage II, grade A periodontitis, generalised.
- D. stage II, grade B periodontitis, generalised.
- E. stage II, grade B periodontitis, localised.
Hint
Stage from interdental CAL and bone loss, grade from %bone loss divided by age, extent from the share of teeth affected.
