A structured periodontology map for diagnosis, staging and grading, periodontal charting, non-surgical therapy, re-evaluation, furcation, recession, surgery, implants, and maintenance.
Do not study periodontology as pocket numbers only. Most exam cases follow one clinical path: screen, chart fully when needed, diagnose stage and grade, control risk factors, treat non-surgically, then re-evaluate before deciding maintenance, surgery, or referral.
Use the groups below as your periodontology roadmap. The hub stays organized while the full diagnostic detail stays inside each article.
The core framework for severity, complexity, progression, and risk.
Screening codes, when to chart fully, BOP, CAL, furcation, mobility, and radiographs.
How to separate true pockets, pseudo-pockets, recession, CAL, and gingival margin position.
BOP, pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, recession, bone loss, and diagnosis.
Extent, distribution, molar-incisor pattern, staging wording, and exam phrasing.
Complexity, tooth loss, occlusal collapse, drifting, function, and prognosis.
Bone loss/age ratio, smoking, diabetes, progression rate, and risk modifiers.
OHI, risk control, scaling, root surface debridement, subgingival instrumentation, and review.
What to measure after SRP and how to decide maintenance, reinstrumentation, or referral.
BOP, suppuration, furcation, reinstrumentation, surgery, regeneration, and referral.
Recall intervals, risk-based maintenance, bleeding control, and long-term stability.
Nabers probe, molar prognosis, cleaning access, treatment options, and maintenance.
Residual pockets, intrabony defects, furcation defects, access flaps, and regenerative planning.
Root coverage predictability, interproximal attachment loss, phenotype, and treatment choice.
Subgingival margins, ferrule, supracrestal tissue attachment, DME risk, and extrusion.
