5. Resective Osseous Surgery Flashcards
What is the most predictable pocket reduction technique?
Osseous Surgery
Where is Osseous Surgery indicated?
Posterior Areas
What does osseous surgery improve, and at what expense?
Improve tissue contours for easier maintenance but at expense of some attachment loss
What is the interdental osseous form in the anterior, and how does it change in the posterior?
Thinner and more conical in anterior, which becomes flatter and broader in molar areas
What is an osteoplasty?
Removal of non-supporting bone

Ostectomy
What is the treatment for correction of reverse architecture?
Ostectomy
What is the tx for one-wall defects?
Osseous Resective Surgery
What is the tx for three-wall defects?
Regeneration (especially narrow defects)
What is the tx for two-wall defects?
Either method (resective or regenerative) depending on the depth, width and configuration

CT + JE = 2mm
What does the dentogingival junction include?
CT + JE + Sulcus
