Code 2 indicates what condition in PSR?

• A. Calculus present with no pocket depth greater than 3.5 mm.
• B. Bleeding on probing indicates code 2.
• C. Pocket depth greater than 5 mm.
• D. No calculus present.

Answer: (A)

In PSR, a code 2 means calculus is present (or margins are defective) and the probing depth in that sextant is up to 3.5 mm. So the most accurate description is calculus present with no pocket depth greater than 3.5 mm. Bleeding on probing would be code 1, pockets deeper than 3.5 mm but less than or equal to about 5.5 mm would be code 3, and no calculus (with no bleeding) would be code 0.
