Optional — they only appear on the forms.

For the form only — the file never leaves your browser.

PSR codes

For each sextant, enter the highest code found among all its teeth. Select a sextant and press 0–4, «-» for an edentulous one or «*» for special problems.

How to perform PSR

For whom: every new patient, and patients at a check-up whose previous PSR codes were «0», «1» or «2».

Probe every tooth of the sextant at six sites with a periodontal probe carrying a coloured band (its edges mark 3.5 and 5.5 mm), keeping the probe parallel to the tooth's long axis. Record the highest code found in the sextant: the first code «4» lets you move on to the next sextant. If a sextant has only one tooth, assess it together with the neighbouring sextant and mark this one edentulous.

Codes
0
the probe's coloured band is fully visible; no bleeding and no calculus
1
the band is fully visible; bleeding on probing; no calculus or overhanging margins
2
the band is fully visible; supra- or subgingival calculus and/or overhanging restoration margins
3
the band is partly visible — probing depth 3.5–5.5 mm
4
the band disappears completely — probing depth over 5.5 mm
*
special problems: furcation involvement, gingival recession over 3 mm, tooth mobility
—
edentulous sextant
