1/31/17 Principles of Osseous Resective Surgery Flashcards
What is an osseous defect?
-Bony deformities are not uniform: often a combination of horizontal and vertical bone loss
What does an osseous deformity result from?
-Periodontal disease
T/F
Presence of osseous defects itself is a sign of active disease
False
-It is not a sign of active disease
What are two ways to diagnosis or evaluate osseous defects?
- Radiographs
- Probing
What can radiographs revel the existence of in terms of bone loss?
-Angular bone losses in the inter proximal space
What does transgingival probing give us an idea of?
-Indicates the vertical and horizontal bone loss
What are the three classifications of osseous bone defects?
- Three wall infrabony defects
- Two wall infrabony defects
- one wall infrabony defects
What is a three wall infrabony defect?
- located in the interdental region
- Facial, proximal and lingual walls
What is a 3 wall defect that wraps around the tooth involving two or more contiuous root surfaces called?
-Circumferential defects
What is the most predictable defect that you can regenerate?
-Deep and Narrow
What do you see in two-wall infrabony defects?
- Interdental craters
- Two-wall hemiseptum
What is the most common bony defect?
-Interdental craters
What is a two-wall hemiseptum?
- 1/2 of interdental septum
- Lingual and proximal wall or facial and proximal wall
T/F When performing surgery you want to get rid of as much inflammation as possible
True
What are two types of osseous surgeries?
- Additive osseous surgery (Regenerative)
- Subtractive osseous surgery (Resective)
