3. Importance of dental Charting
1) To record the patient's periodontal condition at
baseline
2) To establish effective patient communication about
periodontal disease and its prevention and treatment.
3) To establish proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
4) To evaluate the response to therapy.
5) To serve as a baseline for future comparison at recall
visits during maintenance phase

5. Gingival evaluation of the gingiva
Describe observation using the evaluation
Generalized Involves entire mouth
Location
Localized Confined to a single tooth or group of teeth
Marginal Involves gingival margin including papillae
Papillary Involves interdental papilla(e) only
Distribution
Diffuse Involves gingival margin including papillae and attached
gingiva
Severity Slight, Moderate, Severe
6. DISTRIBUTION
• Localized gingivitis is confined to the gingiva of a
single tooth or group of teeth while generalized
gingivitis involves the entire mouth.
7. DISTRIBUTION
• Marginal gingivitis involves the gingival margin and
may include a portion of the contiguous attached
gingiva.
• Papillary gingivitis involves the interdental papillae
and often extends into the adjacent portion of the
gingival margin.
8. DISTRIBUTION
• Diffuse gingivitis affects the gingival margin, the
attached gingiva, and the interdental papille.
9. Record color, size, shape, consistency and
surface texture of the gingiva :
Quality Red, bright red, bluish red, gray
Gingival

hemorrhage.
12. Mild gingivitis in anterior area:
Mild erythema in maxilla. Slight
edematous swelling & erythema.
In mandible, slight edematous
swelling & erythema.
Papilla Bleeding Index: Grade 1
&2
Stained plaque: Small plaque
accumulations arounds the necks
of the teeth & in interdental areas.
13. Moderate gingivitis in
anterior teeth :Erythema
& enlargement of gingiva
pronounced in mand than
in maxilla.
Papilla Bleeding Index :
grade 3 & 4
Stained plaque : Moderate plaque
accumulation in maxilla. Heavier plaque in mandible.
Radiographically, no destruction of interdental bony septa.
14. Gingival
Recession
Draw lines facial, lingual and palatal to represent the
position of the gingival margin in relation to the tooth
crown and the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) on the
dental chart. On diagram record accurately the position of
the free margin to show recession.

15. Pocket Depth
“Probed Pocket Depth”
The probing depth is the distance from gingival margin to
which the probe penetrates into the pocket
16. Proceed from posterior teeth to midline for each quadrant,
all teeth from facial approach, then lingual for the entire
quadrant.
Insert probe at the distal line angle and "walk" distally
along the proximal surface; slant to accomodate the
contact area.
Return, the probe to the distal line angle; proceed around
the mesial line angle and into the mesial proximal.
Carefully diagonal probe to complete the proximal
examination.
17. Attachment level
“Probed Attachment level”
1) Inflammation in the gingiva fluctuates
and pocket depth varies.
2) Measuring attachment level from a
Rationale fixed point (CEJ) provides a more
accurate evaluation for comparison.
18. Gingival Bleeding
Bleeding on probing is a significant sign of inflammation
that appears early before tissue color changes.
• Spontaneous, upon provocation, acute, chronic,
Nature
recurrent
• Generalized moderate marginal bleeding on
Example probing; profuse lingual # 32-29 & # 21
19. Exudate
The index finger is placed along the lateral aspect of
marginal gingiva and pressure is applied in a rolling
motion toward the crown
• Visible or upon
Nature palpation (linger
pressure)
• Localized severe
exudate on pressure
Example
at # 13, 47-45 &# 34-
32
20. Probe Furcation
Area
Location
• Furcation is accessible for probing
• Mandibular molars
from the facial and lingual
Bifurcation
• Maxillary first • Furcation is accessible for probing
pre molars from the mesial and distal
• Furcation iis accessible for
Trifurcation • Maxillary molars probing fnbm the mesial and
distal and the facial
21. Classification of furcation
involvement
Class I Incipient bone less
Partial bone loss (cul-de-
Class II
sac)
22. Classification of furcation
involvement
Total bone loss with
through and through
Class III opening of the furcation
Total bone loss with
through-and-through
opening ot the furcation
Class IV with gingival recession
exposing the furcation to
view

25. Mucogingival areas
The width of the attached gingiva
When a pocket extends to or beyond the mucogingival
junction, the probe may pass through the pocket directly
into the alveolar mucosa.
1) On the external surface of the gingiva, measure from the margin of the
gingiva to the mucogingival junction (total width of the gingiva).
2) Insert the probe into the sulcus or pocket and measure from the gingival
margin to the junctional epithelium (probing depth).
3) The width of the attached gingiva = total width of gingiva - probing depth
26. Bacterial
plaque
Observe thin plaque by running an explorer5 over
the tooth surface at cervical third and thick
plaque by direct observation.
Write: light, medium, heavy.
28. Dental stains`
Write: color, source when known, distribution;
localized, generalized, cervical third or surface;
intrinsic or extrinsic
29. Functional
relations
• Pathologic migration occurs most frequently in
Pathologic Migration anterior teeth. Distinguish from "mesial drift” which
occurs in posterior teeth with healthy gingival
• Test for open contacts where food impaction can occur
by using dental floss.
Open Contacts
• Record on the tooth chart by parallel lines.
Temporomandibular •Record any symptoms such as pain, tenderness sounds
Joint Disorder (crepitation) or limitation of movement.
30. Parafunctional
Note tooth wear facets and occlusal and incisal
wear.
Question patient concerning habits such as
bruxing, clenching, or tapping
o Bruxism = grinding of teeth in directions different from normal
chewing at night
o Clenching = closing of teeth in the chewing position at day &
night
o Tapping = grading of an isolated tooth
31. Fremitus
Fremitus is palpable_vibration (or) movement, It is an
important sign during examination % of the occlusion,
and is commonly used as an indicator of the need for
further analysis
NOMINAL SCALE
o N normal
o + vibration felt
o 1 slight movement felt against finger
o 2 clearly palpable, movement visible
o 3 movement very apparent
32. Percussion
Percussion is the act of tapping a surface of a tooth
with an instrument. Sensitivity to percussion is a
manifestation of inflammation in the periodontal
ligament.
33. Mobility
Position the patient in supine for clear visibility.
Stabilize the head. Motion of head can interfere with a
true evaluation of tooth movement.
Begin with most posterior tooth and move
systematically around each arch.
Use two single-ended metal instruments. Hold in
modified pen grasp. Using wooden tongue depressors
or plastic mirror handles is not good, because of their
flexibility. Testing with fingers without the metal
instruments can be misleading since the soft tissue
moves.
34. Normal Mobility
Grade I: Slightly more than normal.
Grade II: Moderately more than normal.
Grade III: Severe mobility faciolingually and/or mesiodistally
combined with vartical displacement.

37. Use of clinical photographs and study casts
1. Clinical Photographs
Color photographs are useful for recording the
appearance of the tissue before, and after treatment.
2. Casts
position of the gjngival margins
position and inclination of the teeth
proximal contact relationships
Food impactions areas.
Finally casts also serve as visual aids in discussions with the
patient and are useful for pre and post-treatment comparisons, as
well as for reference at check-up visits.
