During a comprehensive periodontal examination, which are the most important diagnostic clinical signs to note?

  1. Inflammation, suppuration, increased pocket depth

  2. Bleeding on probing, inflammation, increased pocket depth

  3. Tooth mobility, bleeding on probing, increased pocket depth

  4. Increased pocket depth, loss of stippling, bleeding on probing

The correct answer is: Bleeding on probing, inflammation, increased pocket depth

During a comprehensive periodontal examination, the most important diagnostic clinical signs to note are bleeding on probing, inflammation, and increased pocket depth. These are the most important as they indicate the presence and severity of periodontal disease. Suppuration and tooth mobility are also important to note, but may not always be present in all cases of periodontal disease. Loss of stippling is a sign of chronic periodontitis and is not as important to note as the other options listed. Therefore, B is the most accurate and relevant answer choice.
