What is the most common outcome of Scaling and root planing?
-Long junctional epithelium
Is our goal to get repair or complete regeneration?
-Complete regeneration
When doing guided tissue regeneration what do we want the connective tissue to do?
-Attach to the tooth surface
What are the 4 separate compartments of connective tissue in the periodontium?
- The gingival corium (CT)
- Periodontal ligament
- Cementum
- Bone
How quickly does the gingival epithelium grow?
-A few days
T/F The lack of walls could be a possible reason that regeneration is not maximized
True
T/F In a three wall infrabony defect you can get the blood clot controlled very well to have good regeneration.
True
Does narrow or wide-mouth allow for a more stable blood clot for regeneration?
-Narrow
Does shallow or deep defects allow for a more stable blood clot for predictable regeneration?
-Deep
What is the ideal defect that allows for a stable blood clot for a predictable regeneration?
-Narrow and Deep
What does cell occlusiveness mean?
-Prevent the epithelial cell down growth in a coronal direction
What is the main non-absorbable membrane used?
-PTFE (Teflon)
What happens with cells with the expanded PTFE?
-The cells can get into it
T/F You can shape the titanium reinforced Gore-Tex non-absorbable membranes
True
What were the first membranes approved for clinical use?
Non-absorbable barriers
What was the first of the non-absorbable membranes?
