Question 1: Gingival description
The gingival description pertains to color, contour, consistence and texture (Kwok & Caton, 2007). For this patient, the gingival description is as follows: bright red, bulbous, fibrotic, and anterior stippling.
Question 2: Radiographic Findings
The radiographic interpretation as it relates to the patient’s periodontal condition reveals dental anomaly. The patient has gum/periodontal disease. It is potentially caused by bacteria.
Question 3: Risk Assessment
The risk factors in the patient’s case include (i) smoking, and (ii) diabetes mellitus type 2. The risk determinants are: (i) genetic factors since his mother had irregular heartbeat and father had coronary artery disease. Both his parents have full dentures. (ii) Ageing: this is also linked to an increased occurrence of periodontal disease (Greenstein, 1992). The risk indicators include gastric ulcers and esophageal reflux. The risk predictor is missing teeth; his 3rd molars were extracted as a young adult.
Question 4: Diagnosis
On initial examination, extra-oral findings revealed the following: lower lip showed an indistinct vermilion border, and lymph nodes were not palpable. Intra-oral findings revealed that the tongue of the patient was fissured, a 6 mm x 8 mm white lesion was present on the left soft palate. The buccal mucosa and floor of mouth were unremarkable. There is deviation of mandible to the right.
Question 5: Etiology, Pre-disposing factors and Contributing factors
The pathogenesis or significance of each is as follows: the pre-disposing and contributing factors include latrogenic factors such as prostheses or deficiencies in the quality of dental restorations. Dental restorations and untreated cavities are the predisposing factors. Tobacco use is a contributing factor. The etiology, or the primary cause is bacterial plaque; there is a bacterial infection (Lidhe et al., 1983).
Question 6: Prognosis
Prognosis is understood as a prediction of the likely course and outcome of an illness and the chance of recovery from a disease. Overall, the prognosis is categorized as worse prognosis. In essence, several factors are considered in deciding on an overall periodontal prognosis including age, plaque control, smoking, diabetes, genetics, stress, patient compliance and economic consideration (Siribamrungwong & Puangpanngam, 2012). Given that the patient has diabetes, he continues to smoke, he has bacterial plaque as the primary etiologic factor, he is aging, and there are genetic factors involved, his periodontal prognosis is worse.
Prognosis according to McGuire and Nunn; the teeth with the following prognosis: Fair: #1, #2, #4, #5. Poor: #6, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14. Questionable: #7, #8, #9, #15, #19, #22, #28, Hopeless: # 16, #17, #18, #21. According to Kwok and Caton; the list of teeth with the following prognosis: Favorable: #1, #2, #4, and #5. Questionable: #6, #10, #11, #12, #13, and #14. Unfavorable: #7, #8, #9, #15, #19, #22, and #28. Hopeless: # 16, #17, #18, and ...
