Q: If the only bone loss is on the distal of lower second molars and we know there has previously been impacted third molars, do we need to stage and grade that patient? As a DHT I don't have a performer number but with regard to NHS perio am I able to open the band 2 alone. Q: Now that we no longer have the diagnosis of Aggressive Periodontitis, when should we consider systemic antibiotics as an adjunct to our treatment? This game is great for learning number recognition! Read the rhyme to the children and hide a Winter object behind one square. Have each child identify a number and come up and look behind their number for the hidden object! Should there be a need to re-X-ray a patient i.e. due to a relapse in the patients periodontal status, then you should produce a new diagnostic statement based on the new radiographs that you have taken.

Your dentist will recommend you brush and floss at least twice daily. You may also be given an antibacterial mouthwash.Information on how to enable Single Screen Perio can be found here - Enable/Disable Single Screen Perio Left arrow key or NMLK+4 moves the cursor to the previous box without adding an entry in the current box. A: Whist the BSP have produced their implementation of the 2017 World Workshop, this is ultimately a global shift in the way we classify periodontal disease together with a change in the language we use when formulating a diagnostic statement. As such, using an out of date system and terminology is not appropriate once you understand the new system. Imagine if we still used the term pyorrhea! A: No, Staging and grading and your diagnostic statement is based on the radiographs that you take when you first meet a patient. At your review, following treatment, the only thing that can realistically change is the element of the diagnostic statement that relates to disease activity i.e. stable, in remission, unstable, as you will not be taking more radiographs at this stage. You should reflect on this in your notes when you reassess your patient and are deciding on the need for more treatment or progressing to supportive care.

Prevalence of periodontal disease, its association with systemic diseases and prevention. Your patients sees the impact their changes have on their inflammation, they cannot attribute it to you. Q: I have had a read through the 'BSP UK CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES FOR THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES', and I am wanting to clarify one point which is a bit unclear to me. That is in step one, it states '+ /- Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR) including supra and subgingival scaling of the clinical crown', and in step 2 which is conducted at a recall with an engaged patient 'Subgingival instrumentation, hand or powered (sonic / ultrasonic), either alone or in combination'.

Learners will create fun Fall-themed sentences with the sentence strips and can discuss with their friends what Fall food they are enjoying. By adding sight words, you are teaching valuable academic skills. Q:In the BSP document, "Phased Management of Periodontitis in NHS General DentalPractice – Full Care Pathway adapted to UDA Banding",it mentions dpc in step 2 and not in step 1, is this correct ? The BSP accepts that it will take time for this to be adopted universally in the UK but practitioners should make the effort to familiarise themselves with the new system, attend courses to allow it to be explained further and practice using this over the coming years In Step 1, the flowchart indicates subgingival PMPR is undertaken. This created some confusion as when reading the papers, it was my understanding that the focus for Step 1 was Supragingival care and creating the correct conditions before going subgingivally? On the NHS, this would usually mean a for a 6PPC and root planning for every Band 2 perio claim. Since 2016, the guidelines by BSP have been updated, especially in relation to code 3’s. They advise a 6 point periodontal charting of sextants scoring 3 only be done after initial therapy.These practices will help remove plaque and tartar from around teeth, reducing gum inflammation. Scaling and root planing
