  • Title: [Bleeding tendency and periodontal diagnosis. Evaluation of the prognostic significance of bleeding tendency for periodontal diagnosis].
    Author: Jacobs R.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd; 1992 Jul; 99(7):247-8. PubMed ID: 11885532.
    Abstract:
    Since differences in susceptibility to periodontal breakdown do exist, it is essential to predict future breakdown on the basis of a prognostic indicator. The experimental gingivitis model was chosen to investigate the clinical differences related to the degree of susceptibility to periodontal breakdown. Both bleeding upon probing and the amount of plaque seems to depend on the history of inflammatory periodontal disease. It is concluded that the bleeding/plaque ratio may act as a prognostic indicator to predict periodontal breakdown.
