  1. Dental Classifications Outline of Topics: Military Dental Classifications Case presentations & Discussion

  2. Dental Classes • Class 1 – • Patients not requiring dental treatment or re-evaluation for 12 months. • Class 2 – • Patients who have oral conditions that, if not treated or followed up, have the potential but are not expected to result in dental emergencies within 12 months. • Class 3 – • Patient has oral conditions that if not treated are expected to result in dental emergencies within 12 months. Patients should be placed in Class 3 when there are questions in determining classification between Class 2 and Class 3. • Class 4 – • Patient has not had a dental exam in the last 13 months

  3. Class 1 • No active dental caries or defective restorations • Arrested caries for which treatment is not indicated • Healthy periodontium, no bleeding on probing; oral prophylaxis not indicated. • Replacement of missing teeth not indicated. • Unerupted, partially erupted, or malposed teeth that are without historical, clinical, or radiographic signs or symptoms of pathosis and are not recommended for prophylactic extractions.

  4. Class 2 • Treatment or follow up indicated for dental caries with minimal extension into dentin or minor defective restorations easily maintained by the patient where the condition does not cause definitive symptoms • Interim restorations or prostheses that can be maintained by the patient for a 12-month period. This includes teeth that have been restored with permanent restorative material but for which protective coverage is indicated. • Edentulous teeth requiring prosthesis but not on an immediate basis.

  5. Class 2 • Periodontal disease or periodontium exhibiting: • Requirement for oral prophylaxis. • Requirement for maintenance therapy; this includes stable or non-progressive mucogingival conditions requiring periodic evaluation. • Non-specific gingivitis. • Early or mild adult periodontitis. • Unerupted, partially erupted, or malposed teeth that are without historical, clinical, or radiographic signs or symptoms of pathosis, but which are recommended for prophylactic removal. • Active orthodontic treatment. • Temporomandibular disorder patients in maintenance therapy.

  6. Class 3 • Dental caries, tooth fractures, or defective restorations where the condition extends beyond the dentinoenamel junction and causes definitive symptoms; dental caries with moderate or advanced extension into dentin; and defective restorations not maintained by the patient. • Interim restorations or prostheses that cannot be maintained for a 12-month period. This includes teeth that have been restored with permanent restorative materials but for which protective coverage is indicated.

  7. Class 3 • Dental caries, tooth fractures, or defective restorations where the condition extends beyond the dentinoenamel junction and causes definitive symptoms; dental caries with moderate or advanced extension into dentin; and defective restorations not maintained by the patient. • Interim restorations or prostheses that cannot be maintained for a 12-month period. This includes teeth that have been restored with permanent restorative materials but for which protective coverage is indicated.

  8. Class 3 • Chronic oral infections or other pathologic lesions including: • Pulpal or periapical pathology requiring treatment. • Lesions requiring biopsy or awaiting biopsy report. • Emergency situations requiring therpy to relieve pain, treat trauma, treat acute oral infections, or provide timely follow-up care (e.g., drain or suture removal) until resolved. • Temporomandibular disorders requiring active treatment.

  9. ??Class 2 vs Class 3?? Both the Air Force and the Army agree that posterior teeth with root canal therapy require full cuspal coverage. However, the Army places the patient in class 2 after a permanent filling and the Air Force does not place the patient in class 2 until the tooth has full cuspal coverage. Why? A contradiction or area of interpretation in “Policy for Standardization of Dental Classifications.” 1- Air Force does not believe that as a rule a RCT tooth can last 12 months without cuspal coverage. 2- Army uses the “have been restored with permanent restorative materials but for which protective coverage is indicated.

  10. The Human Fighting System

  11. Case #1 This 35-year-old male presents for a prophy. He frequently smokes but has no caries or defective restorations. What should his dental classification be after prophy? Class 1

  15. Case #5 This 23-year-old female presents for routine exam. Teeth #13 & 14 have caries visible on the radiograph. What should her dental classification be? Class 2

  16. Case #6 This 19-year-old female complains of cold sensitivity in the area of #19. The exam reveals distal caries consistent with the radiograph. What is the dental classification until the patient is treated? Class 3

  17. Case #7 This 19-year-old female has impacted wisdom teeth. She has never had any pain, and they don’t bother her. Class 1 What is the dental classification with normal perio probing? What is the dental classification with 7mm perio probing ? Class 3

  36. Completing the DD Form 2813 Used to document exams by private and non-governmental contract dentists. Items 1-5 should be completed by military member The minimum clinical exam consists of the use of a mirror, probe & bitewing radiographs (Use ADA guideline for radiograph frequency).

  37. Item 6 – Determine and mark appropriate dental Class (1, 2, or 3). Only if Class 3 mark a-f indicating treatment needs. If Class 3 must complete this section! If you will be treating this patient estimated time to get patient out of class 3 is useful.

  39. Item 7-11 fill in completely by office starff.
