Combined

A

Primary endo-perio = J shaped lesion, lesion wide at apex and thin at cervical. Sinus tract at mucosa or PDL space, non-responsive to sensibility tests. Moderate to severe pain. Solitary site of increased PD with evidence of plaque and calculus at margin.

Primary perio-endo = Generalized or localized horizontal or angular defect wider at cervical, extending to apex, wide and deep. Sinus tract sometimes near gingival margin, responsive to sensibility tests but lowers over time. None to moderate dull pain. Typical signs of perio.

Combined = extensive bony RL that may have communicated (both perio and endo) Wide conical pocket with severe attachment loss. Commonly see generalized periodontal disease. May have occasional swelling and sinus tract.

70
Q

What are the causes of perio abscesses? (SAQ)

A

The causes of a periodontal abscess include
> torturous pockets
> vertical osseous defects resulting in deep pockets that are difficult to debride
> microbial shift in the pocket from gram-positive health-promoting bacteria to pathogenic anaerobic gram-negative bacteria
> systemic antibiotic therapy without prior subgingival debridement
> supragingival scaling only resulting in marginal closure of the pocket and inability of pus to drain out of the pocket
> foreign bodies impacted in the pocket
> endodontic perforations
> cervical cemental tears
> root resorption
> root fractures

71
Q

What are the limitations of ScRD? (SAQ)

A

Anatomical limitations may arise as there are intrabony defects that cannot be fully debrided, furcation involvements where the tip of the instruments may not be able to enter and fully clean it. There could also be enamel pearls and cervical enamel projections which prevents us from fully debridement of plaque / calculus at that region as the instrument may be blocked and that is plaque retentive in nature.

Areas of deeper probing depths may not be reached by the instruments tip (ultrasonic tip and curettes) hence preventing the complete removal of calculus.

Scaling and root debridement could be limited in effectiveness due to the defective restorations that are present on the tooth, for example overhanging margins and contour of crowns.These sites could have recurrent plaque trap and disease occuring. For the ultrasonic scaler, restorations like porcelain crowns, implants and amalgams must be avoided and these could prevent the thorough debridement of plaque on the tooth due to these restorations.

It is very much influenced by the operator’s skills, techniques and meticulousness as the closed debridement requires tactile sensation and that could be challenging hence prevents complete removal of plaque and calculus that is subgivival, making it difficult to achieve a glossy smooth root surface.

72
Q

What are the aims of IPT assessment? What is the difference between IPT assessment & perio maintenance? (SAQ)

A

Aim of the assessent of intial phase therapy (IPT) is to review the outcome of the intial phase therapy.

Whereas the aim of periodontal maintenace is to maintain the oral health of a previously treated periondontal patient.

Assessment of IPT is during the active phase of treatment whereas periodontal maintenance is after the active phase, during the maintenance phase

Assessment of IPT reprognosticates the teeth and reconfirms treatment plans whereas periodontal maintenace reprognosticates the teeth.

The future plans of assessment of IPT is to continue with scaling and root debridement or move to surgical periodontal therapy or even extractions for example whereas the future plans of periodontal maintenance is to come back for maintenance visits at regular intervals in order to maintain the patient’s oral health.

73
Q

What are the clinical scenarios you would provide systemic antibiotics? (SAQ)

A
  • Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis and periodontitis with systemic involvement
  • For patients with acute periodontal abscess / acute apical abscesses with fever and lymphadenopathy
  • Antibiotic prophlaxis in patients with history of endocarditis
  • Patients who present with systemic bacterial infections
  • Immunocompromised periodontitis patients with poor wound healing
  • For patients that present with severely inflamed gingiva due to accumulation of high amount of calculus and plaque and doing full mouth debridement in one visit
74
Q

How to manage perio-endo lesion on #47? (SAQ)

A
  1. Assess restorability and prognosis of #47
  2. If restorable and prognosis is favourable, carry out pulpectomy and fill the canal with intracanal CaOH medicament and temporary dressing. If unrestorable and prognosis is unfavourable, extract #47.
  3. Concurrent treatment - perform scaling and root debridement
  4. Review the tooth in 6-8 weeks. If the deep pockets are resolved, and PARL healing. Remove the temporary dressing and obturate canal. Restore #47 with post-core crown.
  5. If deep pockets persist, or PARL not healing, tooth still symptomatic reassess prognosis, re C&S and re debride and keep in view surgical periodontal treatment. If prognosis drops to hopeless, then extract and consider prosthodontic replacement options.
75
Q

Describe the Page and Schroeder 1976 lesion staging

Initial
Early
Established
Advanced

A

Initial (0-4d): Increased GCF, predominance of PMN leukocytes with migration of leukocytes into JE and gingival sulcus. Acute inflammation limited to JE and most coronal CT

Early (4-8d): BOP, erythema, predominance of lymphocytes. Further loss of collagen fiber network supporting marginal gingiva. Proliferation of JE basal cells.

Established (14-21d): Change in color, texture, size. Predominance of plasma cells, proliferation, apical migration and lateral extension of JE. PERIO!!

Advanced: PD, BOP, suppuration, surface ulceration, bone/soft tissue/tooth loss, mobility/drifting. Persistence of established lesion features. Predominance of plasma cells. Extension of lesion into alveolar bone and PDL, causing significant bone loss.

76
Q

Cytokines involved with CD4+ cells?

A

Helper T cells, or CD4+ cells, can be subdivided into Th1 and Th2.

Th1-type cytokines tend to produce pro-inflammatory responses (e.g. IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-2)

Th2-type cytokines are involved with B-cell differentiation and maturation, as well as suppressing Th1 responses (e.g. IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13)

Regulatory T cells inhibit immune responses, secreting cytokines which block macrophage and lymphocyte activation (e.g. TGF-beta, IL-10)

Th17 is activated by TGF-beta, IL-6, IL-1 and IL-21, and requires IL-23 to survive and for pathogenicity. Th17 secretes IL-17 which is inflammatory to kill bacteria, vv involved in perio pathogenesis
