Comprehensive exam should include an evaluation of soft tissue, bleeding, and exudate on probing, probing depths, gingival recession, mobility, furcation involvement, occlusal analysis, and TMD assessment. JADA article April 2000 PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 9
Evaluation of a complete series of diagnostic quality periapical and bite wing radiographs is necessary for diagnosis and treatment planning. JADA article April 2000 PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 13
Full Mouth Intraoral Radiographic Examination (FMX) A set of intraoral radiographs consisting of 14 to 22 periapial and posterior bite wing films intended to display the crown and roots of all teeth, periapical areas and alveolar bone crest. FDA Guidelines PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 15
Feb 2001 JADA: ADA Council on Scientific Affairs The FDA guidelines…. are not meant to be considered as practice standards.

Fall 1996 Journal of the MA Dental Society OHI should be provided at each appointment during initial therapy. The patient’s progress should be evaluated, and the plaque control program should be modified to fit the needs of individual patients. A reevaluation interval is necessary to allow time for the tissues to heal and respond to initial therapy…. Usually 4 to 6 weeks. PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 17
Fall 1996 Journal of the MA Dental Society (Continued) Clinical examination at reevaluation appointments should be similar to that of the initial examination. PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 18

PSR Periodontal Screening and Recording 1. Good System if used appropriately and according to the guidelines. 2. Dentists can not redefine the parameters. 3. Recommended by the ADA and American Academy of Periodontology. PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 20
PSR Code * -- Denotes clinical abnormalities including but not limited to: a. furcation invasion b. mobility c. mucogingival problems d. recession extending to the colored area of the probe 3.5 mm or greater.) PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 21
PSR Code 0 -- Appropriate preventative care Code 1 -- Oral hygiene instruction and appropriate therapy, including subgingival plaque removal. PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 22
PSR Code 2 -- OHI and appropriate therapy, including subgingival plaque removal, plus removal of calculus and correction of plaque-retentive margins of restorations. PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 23
PSR Code 3 -- A comprehensive periodontal examination and charting of the affected sextant is necessary to determine an appropriate treatment plan. This examination and documentation should include but not be limited to identification of probing depths, mobility, gingival recession, mucogingival problems, and furcation invasions as well as appropriate radiographs. PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 24
PSR Code 3 (continued) If two or more sextants score code 3, a comprehensive full mouth examination and charting is indicated. Should therapy be indicated and performed, a comprehensive examination is necessary to assess the results of therapy and need for further treatment. PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 25
PSR Code 4 -- A comprehensive full mouth periodontal examination and charting is necessary to determine an appropriate treatment plan. This examination and documentation should include but not be limited to identification of probing depths, mobility, gingival recession, mucogingival problems, and furcation invasions as well as appropriate radiographs. PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 26
PSR Code * -- If an abnormality exists in the presence of codes 0, 1, and 2, specific notation and/or treatment for that condition is warranted. If an abnormality exists in the presence of code 3 or 4, a comprehensive periodontal examination and charting is necessary to determine an appropriate treatment plan. PERIODONTAL RECORD KEEPING 27
