1. Take the following radiographs:

-Full mouth periapical series radiograph

-Panoramic Radiograph (Digital)

Label the parts and interpret the following radiographs.

PERIAPICAL
PANORAMIC
2. Take an impression of your dentition, and make a study cast. Take a photo of the different aspects of
you casts:

-Anterior

-Lateral

-Occlusal

Anterior Occlusal
 Lateral

Analyze the casts and list down all local and anatomic factors present.

-Occlusal Disharmony

-Overjet

-Tapered Arch

-Enamel Erosion
3. In tabular form, list down all anatomic or local factors for periodontal disease present, and explain
why they are factors for such.

Occlusal Disharmony Occlusal disharmony would render the periodontal

supporting tissues more amenable to the spread
of inflammation of biofilm-related periodontal
pockets.
Overjet Overjet can create areas that are harder to clean,
making it easier for plaque and tartar to build-up
along the gum line, leading to gum inflammation
and periodontal disease.
Tapered Arch Tapered arch can have implication of periodontal
health due to teeth are much closer that may
cause difficulty in cleaning. Food particles and
plaque are more prone to be trapped and cant be
reached with normal brushing and flossing. One
factor that can affect due to tapered arch are
gingival recession and bone loss due to uneven
force distribution around the surrounding bone.
Enamel Erosion Enamel erosion can wear away the protective
outer layer of the teeth, exposing the dentin
underneath. Dentin is softer and more susceptible
to decay and erosion. This can create pockets or
gaps between the teeth and gums, allowing
bacteria to accumulate and eventually lead to gum
disease. Enamel erosion weakens the protective
barrier of the teeth, making them more vulnerable
to bacterial attack and contributing to the
development.
