2 x Pocket Chart

Product Information

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

This double-sided chart folds flat for easy storage and has dry-erase cards so you can use it over and over again. If you have dry mouth, use a mouthwash that doesn’t contain alcohol. You can also try chewing sugar-free gum, sipping water, and avoiding caffeine.

Single Screen Perio shows the tooth chart (ondontagram) and allows the user to fill all the Perio data within 1 screen including: While the evidence supporting the use of high volume suction to reduce the risk associated with dental AGPs is very low certainty, the use of suction does have other benefits (e.g. saliva/debris removal, airway protection) and is standard practice in dentistry. ..... Therefore, an individual risk assessment to identify such patients may be necessary. High volume suction has a number of variables and is both equipment and operator sensitive. While suction is available in all dental practices, there may be practices where the existing ‘high volume suction’ does not meet the required standard and additional costs may be involved in upgrading facilities to meet these. There are also ongoing costs associated with assessing and calibrating the level of suction, and servicing of the suction equipment, although these costs are unlikely to be additional as use of suction is standard practice. Following consideration of these factors, the Working Group reached an agreed position: Healthline has strict sourcing guidelines and relies on peer-reviewed studies, academic research institutions, and medical associations. We avoid using tertiary references. You can learn more about how we ensure our content is accurate and current by reading our editorial policy. Your dentist will measure the size of the space between your gums and teeth with a periodontal probe. A: No, Staging and Grading is based on the worst affected tooth with periodontal disease. Whilst a diagnostic statement might give the feeling that a case is severe, but on examination it turns out to be based on one very badly affected tooth, as clinicians we interpret our clinical findings and treat accordingly. The new system, like the previous system, does not dictate treatment based on a specific diagnosis and it is for the clinician to decide on the most appropriate treatment for each case.

A: No, the diagnostic statement including the staging and grading reflect the severity of the case on presentation and the level of risk or susceptibility that the patient has.Q: Do I have to do the staging and grading every time I see the patient for a new examination i.e. every 6 months? 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 ? In the figure above, the alveolar bone (attachment) level can be calculated based on the following formula:

If the gap between your teeth and gums measures between 1 – 3 mm, it’s considered normal and healthy. For this activity, children read the sight word in the snowball and build the word using the snowball letters. Encourage them to say each sound in the word as they build it too.

Why are flip charts and pocket charts for teachers great for organizing the classroom?

The above scenario is probably the most common in day to daypractice. There may be situations where a patient presented with historical disease that is reasonably well managed and you chose to do a DCP at that stage to make onward decisions about Step 1/2 or 4. That is where clinical judgement supersedes guidelines. A:Ideally, the BPE would be carried out by whoever is taking responsibility for the diagnosis and treatment planning of that specific patient and this would usually be carried out at any routine examination. Under direct access, hygienists and therapists can diagnose within their scope and as such they are very capable of providing this aspect of care. That said, if they are not working under direct access arrangements then, ideally, the BPE would be done by the dentist, as it requires decisions to be made based on the codes identified and then ultimately a diagnosis. Tooth mobility should be determined using two single-ended instruments and assessed according to the criteria. Your patients sees the impact their changes have on their inflammation, they cannot attribute it to you.

What is subgingival scaling of the clinical crown? My understanding of the clinical crown is that is the portion of the tooth above the gingival margin - so how can this be subgingivally scaled?

Reference section 3.2.1 of SDCEP guidance from September attached and here Mitigation of Aerosol Generating Procedures in Dentistry - A Rapid Review (sdcep.org.uk)High volume suction may not be suitable for certain dental procedures (e.g. biopsy) and some patients (e.g. those with a strong gag reflex). Obviously, all of this is in the absence of any restorative issues… if there are restorative aspects then that might drive you to PAs sooner, especially for treatment planning where there are other problems.
