14.png Mr Lоuis Reesа, а 52 yeаr-оld male patient frоm Rosslyn Heights, who smokes 12 cigarettes per day to combat stress, consults at your surgery with the main complaint: "my gums are swollen and red." In 2022, he was treated for "gum disease" by a dentist at a private practice in Pretoria North. Medical history: The patient is both asthmatic and diabetic. Allergies: Allergic to Latex products Blood pressure: 130/89 mmHg List of medications: Metformin 500mg and Asthavent 100 mcg inhaler. Extra-oral examination No significant findings. The patient had no masses or swelling, and the temporomandibular joint was within normal limits. Intra-oral examination The soft tissues of the mouth (except the gingival tissues) including the tongue appeared normal. Gingival examination revealed several areas with rolled margins and swollen interdental papillae. Occlusal discrepancies There were no occlusal discrepancies or interferences. Radiographic examination A panoramic radiograph was taken and it revealed several sites of alveolar bone loss ass well as a grossly carious 46 with periapical radiolucency. Additionally, a single periapical radiograph of the worst affected area (between 26 and 27) in terms of alveolar bone loss was taken (please, refer to the slide depicted above). At this site, the distance between the apex of the teeth and the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) is 19mm and the amount of the alveolar bone present is 10mm. Given the above-mentioned patient's data, radiographs and dental chart (refer to hard copy thereof), what is the patient's current periodontal status?
