Dental Classes
• Class 1 –
– Patients not requiring dental treatment or re-evaluation for 12
months.
• Class 2 –
– Patients who have oral conditions that, if not treated or
followed up, have the potential but are not expected to result in
dental emergencies within 12 months.
• Class 3 –
– Patient has oral conditions that if not treated are expected to
result in dental emergencies within 12 months. Patients should
be placed in Class 3 when there are questions in determining
classification between Class 2 and Class 3.
• Class 4 –
– Patient has not had a dental exam in the last 13 months
Class 1
• No active dental caries or defective restorations
• Arrested caries for which treatment is not indicated
• Healthy periodontium, no bleeding on probing; oral
prophylaxis not indicated.
• Replacement of missing teeth not indicated.
• Unerupted, partially erupted, or malposed teeth that
are without historical, clinical, or radiographic signs
or symptoms of pathosis and are not recommended
for prophylactic extractions.
Class 2
• Treatment or follow up indicated for dental caries
with minimal extension into dentin or minor
defective restorations easily maintained by the
patient where the condition does not cause
definitive symptoms
• Interim restorations or prostheses that can be
maintained by the patient for a 12-month period.
This includes teeth that have been restored with
permanent restorative material but for which
protective coverage is indicated.
• Edentulous teeth requiring prosthesis but not on an
immediate basis.
Class 2
• Periodontal disease or periodontium exhibiting:
– Requirement for oral prophylaxis.
– Requirement for maintenance therapy; this includes stable or nonprogressive mucogingival conditions requiring periodic evaluation.
– Non-specific gingivitis.
– Early or mild adult periodontitis.
• Unerupted, partially erupted, or malposed teeth that
are without historical, clinical, or radiographic signs
or symptoms of pathosis, but which are
recommended for prophylactic removal.
• Active orthodontic treatment.
• Temporomandibular disorder patients in
maintenance therapy.
Class 3
• Dental caries, tooth fractures, or defective
restorations where the condition extends beyond the
dentinoenamel junction and causes definitive
symptoms; dental caries with moderate or advanced
extension into dentin; and defective restorations not
maintained by the patient.
• Interim restorations or prostheses that cannot be
maintained for a 12-month period. This includes
teeth that have been restored with permanent
restorative materials but for which protective
coverage is indicated.
Class 3
• Dental caries, tooth fractures, or defective
restorations where the condition extends beyond the
dentinoenamel junction and causes definitive
symptoms; dental caries with moderate or advanced
extension into dentin; and defective restorations not
maintained by the patient.
• Interim restorations or prostheses that cannot be
maintained for a 12-month period. This includes
teeth that have been restored with permanent
restorative materials but for which protective
coverage is indicated.
Class 3
• Chronic oral infections or other pathologic lesions
including:
• Pulpal or periapical pathology requiring treatment.
• Lesions requiring biopsy or awaiting biopsy report.
• Emergency situations requiring therpy to relieve pain, treat
trauma, treat acute oral infections, or provide timely followup care (e.g., drain or suture removal) until resolved.
• Temporomandibular disorders requiring active treatment.
??Class 2 vs Class 3??
Both the Air Force and the Army agree that posterior teeth with
root canal therapy require full cuspal coverage. However, the
Army places the patient in class 2 after a permanent filling
and the Air Force does not place the patient in class 2 until
the tooth has full cuspal coverage.
Why? A contradiction or area of interpretation in “Policy for
Standardization of Dental Classifications.”
1- Air Force does not believe that as a rule a RCT tooth can last
12 months without cuspal coverage.
2- Army uses the “have been restored with permanent
restorative materials but for which protective coverage is
indicated.
