EDUCATION GUIDE |
| This guide is
an excellent teaching aid to use chairside. The use of a hand mirror or an
intraoral camera becomes an extremely meaningful and effective teaching method
when combined with the Patient Education Guide. Showing patients
healthy sites first and then diseased sites in
their own mouths is crucial. The moment the patient sees the green disappear or
sees bleeding, there is an instant recognition that there is
disease. |

INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions for performing a screening
are found on the back side of the Patient Education Guide. The reality is,
since the technique is so simple, that after doing a few screenings the
instructions are really no longer needed. |

A COMPLETE
PERIODONTAL EVALUATION
It is important for all patients to have a
complete and comprehensive periodontal examination and charting performed
periodically. The PerioWise Screening System is not a substitute for a complete
and comprehensive periodontal examination. Probing depths, attachment levels,
mucogingingival problems, gingival recession, furcation involvement, tooth
mobility, occlusal discrepancies, defective restorations and radiographic
findings should be recorded formally during this complete examination.
SUMMARY
The PerioWise Screening System offers a fast, accurate,
simple, clinician and patient friendly method to screen patients for
periodontal diseases. The System provides an accurate record of screenings over
many years in one place, thus enhancing risk management. It only requires
remembering "green go" or "red stop" and there is virtually no writing
required. The Screening System enables patients to immediately find out their
own periodontal status and to learn about the causes, ramifications and
treatment of periodontal diseases. Try it!
