The color band of the PSR probe is 3.5 to 5.5 mm. If the color band of the PSR probe completely disappears in the periodontal pocket indicates that PD is more than 5.5mm.

PSR Code for this sextant is 4.

Comprehensive periodontal examination and charting of the effected sextant to determine the necessary treatment plan is indicated for code 3 (color band of the PSR probe is partially submerged).

The correct answer is (d): Comprehensive full mouth periodontal examination, charting and treatment planning are needed for code 4 patient and two or more quadrant with code 3 patient.
