When do we use the gingival index (GI) by Leo and silliness?
Explain how we use it
- Use the probe to press on the gingiva to determine the degree of firmness
- Insert the probe INTERPROXIMAL form distal to medial to evaluate bleeding
- "angular probing" the probe is inserted obliquely
- Tensile test -slightly stretching
- 20 seconds wait, then score bleeding
- May be performed for specific teeth
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding

- P units - papillary gingiva
- Wait 30 seconds after probing before scoring apparently healthy gingival units
