recession is present?”,”back”:”Probing depth + recession = attachment level.”},{“front”:”How many probing sites are recorded per tooth?”,”back”:”Six: MB, B, DB, ML, L, DL.”},{“front”:”What does Grade II furcation involvement mean?”,”back”:”Probe enters the furcation beyond incipient but does not pass completely through.”},{“front”:”Why track bleeding-on-probing percentage over time?”,”back”:”A rising trend signals inadequate treatment response.”},{“front”:”What does PSR code 4 typically indicate?”,”back”:”Probing depth in the black band not fully visible — needs comprehensive periodontal charting/exam.”},{“front”:”Why can probing depth decrease without true improvement?”,”back”:”Recession can reduce measured depth even as attachment level worsens.”},{“front”:”What is the universal numbering starting point?”,”back”:”Maxillary right third molar (tooth #1).”},{“front”:”Why assess furcation on multi-rooted teeth routinely?”,”back”:”Involvement may not be visually apparent even when radiographically unremarkable.”},{“front”:”What probing pressure is generally recommended?”,”back”:”Light, consistent pressure, approximately 25 grams.”}],”quiz”:[{“q”:”Clinical attachment level is measured from:”,”options”:[“Gingival margin to pocket base”,”CEJ to pocket base”,”Crown to root apex”,”Enamel surface only”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”CEJ is the fixed reference point.”},{“q”:”If probing depth is 4mm and recession is 3mm, attachment level is:”,”options”:[“1mm”,”4mm”,”7mm”,”3mm”],”answer”:2,”exp”:”PD + recession = 7mm.”},{“q”:”How many sites are probed per tooth in full charting?”,”options”:[“2″,”4″,”6″,”8″],”answer”:2,”exp”:”Six sites per tooth is standard.”},{“q”:”A rising bleeding-on-probing percentage suggests:”,”options”:[“Successful treatment”,”Inadequate treatment response”,”No clinical meaning”,”Charting error only”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”Rising trend signals treatment is not controlling inflammation.”},{“q”:”PSR Code 0 indicates:”,”options”:[“Severe disease”,”Healthy sulcus, no bleeding or calculus”,”Missing tooth”,”Furcation involvement”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”Code 0 reflects health.”},{“q”:”Grade IV furcation involvement is described as:”,”options”:[“Incipient only”,”Through-and-through, visible clinically”,”Not detectable”,”Only radiographic”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”Grade IV is through-and-through involvement.”},{“q”:”Why might probing depth shrink after treatment while attachment level stays the same or worsens?”,”options”:[“Recession increased as oedema resolved”,”Probe malfunction”,”Random chance”,”Incorrect charting only”],”answer”:0,”exp”:”Reduced oedema plus recession explains this pattern.”},{“q”:”The universal numbering system begins at:”,”options”:[“Mandibular left third molar”,”Maxillary right third molar”,”Maxillary left central incisor”,”Mandibular right first molar”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”Numbering starts at maxillary right third molar (#1).”},{“q”:”Furcation assessment should be performed:”,”options”:[“Only when radiographic bone loss is visible”,”Routinely on all multi-rooted teeth”,”Only in emergencies”,”Never in a hygiene visit”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”Routine assessment catches early involvement.”},{“q”:”Recommended probing pressure is approximately:”,”options”:[“5 grams”,”25 grams”,”100 grams”,”250 grams”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”About 25 grams is the standard light pressure.”},{“q”:”Mobility grading assesses:”,”options”:[“Colour of gingiva”,”Degree of horizontal/vertical tooth movement”,”Radiographic bone density”,”Salivary flow”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”Mobility grading is about tooth movement under pressure.”},{“q”:”A chart symbol key should be:”,”options”:[“Different for every hygienist”,”Consistent within a practice”,”Never confirmed with new employers”,”Irrelevant to interpretation”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”Consistency prevents ambiguity over time.”},{“q”:”Recession measurement is taken from:”,”options”:[“CEJ to gingival margin”,”Pocket base to CEJ”,”Crown tip to root apex”,”Enamel to dentin”],”answer”:0,”exp”:”Recession is CEJ-to-margin distance.”},{“q”:”A tooth with overgrowth covering the CEJ has attachment level calculated as:”,”options”:[“PD + overgrowth”,”PD – overgrowth”,”PD only”,”Overgrowth only”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”Overgrowth is subtracted from probing depth.”},{“q”:”PSR is best described as:”,”options”:[“A full periodontal chart replacement always”,”A simplified sextant-based screening tool”,”A radiographic technique”,”An instrument type”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”PSR is a simplified screening approach.”},{“q”:”Which finding alone does NOT capture true periodontal support status?”,”options”:[“Attachment level”,”Probing depth alone”,”Furcation grade”,”Bleeding on probing”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”Probing depth alone can be misleading without recession data.”},{“q”:”Bleeding on probing percentage is calculated from:”,”options”:[“Sites bleeding divided by total sites charted”,”Total teeth only”,”Radiographic findings”,”Patient self-report”],”answer”:0,”exp”:”It’s a percentage of charted sites showing bleeding.”},{“q”:”A furcation entrance is difficult to instrument because:”,”options”:[“It is always visible”,”Its narrow, concave anatomy limits access and adaptation”,”It has no root surface”,”It is always healthy”],”answer”:1,”exp”:”Concave anatomy complicates access.”},{“q”:”Which best distinguishes horizontal from vertical bone loss?”,”options”:[“Horizontal is even across adjacent teeth; vertical is localised/angular”,”They are identical”,”Vertical is always worse”,”Horizontal only occurs in children”],”answer”:0,”exp”:”Pattern and distribution distinguish the two.”},{“q”:”A furcation classification system commonly referenced is:”,”options”:[“Glickman’s”,”Angle’s”,”ASA”,”ICDAS”],”answer”:0,”exp”:”Glickman’s system grades furcation involvement.”}]};
