Peri-Implantitis: ADC OSCE practice station

An ADC-style practice station on OSCE Coach. Practice, not real, past or recalled exam content.

What the candidate is told

Mr Dubey 60 year old patient complaining of bleeding gums on examination, you find red inflammed gums and has Peri-implantitis affecting an implant-supported bridge spanning 32 to 42. A radiograph is provided showing peri-implant marginal bone loss, peri-implant redness, bleeding on probing, and probing depths of 6–7 mm and 4mm probing depth in other areas. The patient is a smoker; the main concern is the bleeding gums. Explain the diagnosis, treatment options, and management, and address their concerns

How to approach periodontics stations

Periodontal stations reward a clear, jargon-free explanation of what is happening in the gums, the link to risk factors such as smoking and diabetes, and an honest plan that keeps the patient involved. Practise explaining probing depths and bone loss in everyday words.

Whatever the topic, the same habits earn marks: signpost what you will cover, listen, explain in plain words, offer real options, and check understanding. Our guide to the communication criteria shows how: ADC communication marking criteria, explained.
