57. Supportive periodontal therapy. Flashcards
Aim of maintainence phase
Prevent re-infection and disease recurrence
Maintainence phase includes
- Anamnesis
- Extra and intra-oral status
- Indexes
- Scaling
- Periodontal status
- Periodontal risk assessment
How patient recall is dettermined
- High risk-3 months
- Medium risk- 6 months
- Low risk- 12 months
Information contained in periodontal risk assessment
- Age
- Number of implants
- Number of sites per tooth/implant
- No. of bop positive sites
- No. of sites w/ pocket depths >5mm
- No. of missing teeth
- % alveolar bone loss
- Systemic genetic diseases
- Smoking(environmental factors)
Environmental factors include
- Non smoker
- Former smoker
- Occasional smoker
- Smoker
- Heavy smoker
When epithelium regenerates
10-14 days
When connective tissue regenerates
6 weeks
When bone reforms
6 weeks to 3 months
When periodontal healing takes place
up to 6 months
Peri-implant mucositis
*Reversible inflammatory process=>
* Soft tissue surrounding functioning implant
Peri-implantitis
Inflammatory process characterised by loss of peri-implant bone
Peri-implant mucositis clinical features
- Similar to gingivitis
- Difference in morphology of mucosa=>
- Lack of light transmission through metal of device may mask inflammation
- Assessed by Bop
Risk factors for peri-implant mucositis
- Poor OH
- History of periodontitis
- Smoking
- Immunodeficiency condition
- Impaired bone metabolism
- Inadequate implant surface
Microbiology of peri-implant mucositis
- Increase in spirochetes and G(-) bacilli
- Fusobacterium
- Prevetella
- Porphyromonas
- Tanerella forsythia
Treatment of peri-implant mucositis
- Patient hygiene routine
- Subgingival debridement
- Irrigation
- Antimicrobial mouthwash-CHX
