Ch. 25 Patient's Role in Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy
self-care
challenges
gingival embrasure space
exposed root concavities
actions individuals take to lead a healthy lifestyle; to meet their social, emotional, and psychlogical needs; to care for their long term condition and prevent further illness or accident
goals
improved oral health via optimal biofilm removal and the elimination of bleeding and inflammation
aids for interdental plaque biofilm removal
tufted dental floss
type II embrasure spaces, fixed bridges, distal surface of last tooth in the arch, proximal surfaces of widely spaced teeth
interdental brush
type II or III embrasure spaces. Distal surface of last tooth in the arch, exposed furcation areas that permit easy insertion of the brush; embrasure spaces with exposed proximal root concavities
floss holders
patients with type 1 embrasure spaces who is motivated but has dexterity issues
end-tuft brush
type III embrasure spaces, distal surface of the last tooth in arch, lingual surfaces of mandibular teeth, crowded or misaligned teeth, exposed furcation areas
dental floss
patients with type 1 embrasure spaces and excellent compliance to self care regime
pipe cleaner
type III embrasure spaces, exposed furcation areas that permit insertion
toothpick in holder
type II or III embrasure spaces, biofilm removal at gingival margin, furcation areas or root concavities
triangular wooden wedge
type II or III embrasure spaces
root concavity
trench like depression in the root surface
gingival embrasure space
small triangular open space apical to contact area between the curved proximal surfaces of two teeth
tongue cleaning
tongue coating made up of bacteria and other debris that produces hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan
volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) are gases that are ressponsible for halitosis
tongue scrapers used to remove coating
