5. Access Flaps Flashcards
What is removed in a modified widman flap
sulcular epithelium
pocket epithelium
JE
New CT forms in what direction
apical to coronal
Purpose of membranes
prevent the oral epithelium from contacting the clot that facilitates perio regeneration and CT attachment
ENAP and LANAP mean
Excisional new attachment procedure
Laser assisted new attachment procedure
LANAP removes _ and leaves _
Removes diseased pocket epithelium
Leaves CT
Patients have (more/less) recession and root sensitivity with LANAP
less
New cementum, PDL, and attachment to the root is formed by what for LANAP
stem cells
Is LA needed with LANAP
yes
Laser for LANAP should be held _ in relation to the root surface
parallel
How is the pocket epithelium removed with LANAP
photothermolysis
How many passes are done with the laser in LANAP
2
ADA statements on lasers
- More data on lasers is needed to know what extent LANAP is safe and effective
- Lasers have only inconsistently shown the ability to reduce microorganisms within a perio pocket
- Lasers for the purpose of improved wound healing is contraversial and not well supported by studies
Can lasers harm patients
yes and no- if the inappropriate wavelength is used the laser can damage the perio tissues
What is the superior wavelength for lasers
hasn’t yet be determined
What are the two classifications of perio flaps
- Full thickness
- Partial (split) thickness
Describe a full thickness flap
- Bone completely exposed
- Periosteum included in the flap
- Blunt disection
- Used for osseous surgery, osseous grafting, and guided tissue regenertion
- associated with more bone resorption
Describe partial (split) thickness flap
- Bone still covered by periosteum and CT
- Sharp disection
- Use in areas of thin bone dehiscence, and fenestration
Most common location in the mouth for split thickness flap
Where the roots are prominent in the arch (thinner bone)
- Cuspids
- Maxillary 1st molars (MB root)
