PERIODONTAL EXAMINATION - GINGIVITIS AND PLAQUE GRADING
PLAQUE INDEX
PLAQUE INDEX (PI #)
- PI 0 no observable plaque
- PI 1 scattered plaque covering less than one third of the buccal tooth surface
- PI 2 plaque covering between one and two thirds of the buccal tooth surface
- PI 3 plaque covering greater than two thirds of the buccal tooth surface

CALCULUS INDEX
CALCULUS INDEX (CI #) refers to the amount of calculus on a tooth.
- CI 0 no observable calculus
- CI 1 scattered calculus covering less than one third of the buccal tooth surface.
- CI 2 calculus covering between one and two thirds of the buccal tooth surface with minimal subgingival deposition.
- CI 3 calculus covering greater than two thirds of the buccal tooth surface and extending sub-gingivally.

GINGIVAL INDEX
GINGIVITIS INDEX (GI #) is the number assigned to designate the degree of gingival inflammation.
- GI 0 normal healthy gingiva with sharp non inflamed margins.
- GI 1 marginal gingivitis with minimal inflammation and edema at the free gingiva. No bleeding on probing.
- GI 2 moderate gingivitis with a wider band of inflammation and bleeding upon probing.
- GI 3 advanced gingivitis with inflammation clinically reaching the mucogingival junction usually with ulceration. Periodontitis will usually be present.
