1
Q
Common
to pseudo and true pockets
A
- Bacterial biofilm
- Calculus
- Chronically inflamed pocket wall(soft tissue)
- Destructive host response
2
Q
In true pockets
only
A
In true pockets only - Altered (diseased) root cementum - Apical migration of attachment apparatus - Bone loss
3
Q
Soft tissue
A
curettage
4
Q
hard tissue
A
root planing
5
Q
Both mandibular and maxillary teeth have concavities
at or within———–apical to their CEJ.
A
5 mm
6
Q
• More recent studies show ——–more
loosely adherent than previously thought
A
endotoxin
7
Q
• Ultrasonics can remove ——
A
endotoxin
8
Q
• Conclusion: it is clinically sound to remove
some but not all
A
cementum
9
Q
Critical probing depth
is the pocket depth
below which there is
A
attachment loss and
above which there is attachment gain for a
procedure.
10
Q
For root planing, critical probing depth is
A
2.9 mm
11
Q
Gingival Curettage
• Definition:
A
the process of debriding the soft tissue wall of a periodontal pocket • Involves removal of: – Ulcerated epithelium – Inflamed connective tissue (granulation tissue)
12
Q
When intentional curettage is performed, the
root is
A
always planed, therefore it is
impossible to separate the procedures
