Material Detail

It is an essential part of the dental hygiene clinician role to correctly classifying the state of gingival health by describing clinical features, size, location, and severity. Gingival observation is fundamental for diagnosing oral disease and can support identifying underlying systemic, environmental, or behavioral concerns that may warrant further evaluation. This webpage by Oral-B dental care contains a gingival review with photos and quiz questions for dental hygiene students to become more practiced at assessing the color, consistency, and contour of the gingiva and notate gingival descriptions accurately.
