Q

steps in pocket formation

A
  1. inflammation in CT wall of gingival sulcus
  2. gingival collagen fibers apical to JE destroyed
  3. loss of collagen results JE proliferation and migrates apically along root

26
gingival margin APICAL to CEJ is called what? positive or negative number?
recession; positive number for gingival margin
27
if gingival margin CORONAL to CEJ, is this positive or negative number?
negative
28
if gingival margin is at CEJ, is this a positive or negative number?
just 0
29
what CEJs are easily detected? what is more difficult?
facial and lingual are easily detected interproximal CEJ is more difficult to detect
30
what is used to detect subgingival CEJ? how?
use perio probe Insert probe into sulcus to feel for the CEJ. Helps to hold probe at 45° angle when detecting CEJ's. Measure where the gingival margin crosses the probe. Record gingival margin as a "negative" number.
31
the interproximal CEJ is located where in health?
subgingival
32
what tells you how much attachment loss there is from CEJ
CAL
33
what is the distance from CEJ to the base of the pocket
CAL
34
what are periods of exacerbation and quiescense?
periodontal disease activity
35
is perio disease site specific?
YES Periodontal destruction does not occur in all areas of the mouth at the same time Active destruction occurs at some teeth at a time at any given time Periodontitis becomes more severe by the development of new disease sites or increased breakdown of existing diseased sites
36
what marks the transition from gingivitis to periodontitis
- Clinically measurable attachment loss - Bone loss as a result of inflammation reaching the bone
37
what are mechanisms of bone destruction
bacterial and host mediated bone destruction
38
what bacterial products induce differentiation of osteoclasts
LPS
39
what are host factors released by inflammatory cells that induce bone resorption
IL-18 IL-6 TNF-a
40
alveolar bone responds to inflammation how?
bone formation and resorption
41
what occurs when resorption dominates formation
periodontal bone loss
42
factors that increase risks for periodontal bone loss
Smoking Occlusal trauma Osteoporosis Open contacts (Food impaction) Close root approximation to adjacent root Overhanging restorations
43
what increases risk for perio, is dose dependent, duration is important, and measured in pack years
smoking
44
pack years equation
(# cigs/20) * # of years
45
what bone destruction pattern: Most common pattern Bone is reduced in height Bone margins remain perpendicular to root
horizontal bone loss
46
what bone destruction pattern: Bone loss is oblique to root surface Intrabony pockets
vertical (Angular) bone loss
47
what type of bone loss
horizontal
48
what type of bone loss
vertical/angular
49
radiographs [overestimate; underestimate] bone loss by up to ___mm
underestimate 1.6 mm
50
how to determine bone loss
Measure distance from CEJ to osseous crest on bitewing radiograph Subtract 2 mm (Supracrestal Attached Tissues)
51
bone loss severity levels and percentage
1. slight: <20% (<2mm bone loss) 2. moderate: 20-40% (2-4 mm bone loss) 3. severe: >40% (>4mm bone loss)
52
how to determine facial and lingual bone loss on radiograph
- difficult to visualize radiographically - look for horizontal lines across the roots
53
what is an early radiographic change in periodontitis
loss of crestal bone lamina dura
54
signs of occlusal trauma
1. Widened PDL 2. Angular (vertical defects in bone 3. Mobile teeth 4. Thickened lamina dura 5. Root resorption 6. Fremitus
55
advantages of digital radiography
1. Speed 2. Lower radiation exposure 3. Digital manipulation (Enhancement, Magnification, Contrast) 4. Ease of transfer/storage
56
when can a vertical defect only occur? why?
if interproximal space is wider than 2.5 mm because radius of action for bone resorption factors is 2.5 mm (spaces
57
how is close root proximity measured? is bone loss vertical or horizontal
measured from CEJ to CEJ of adjacent teeth (
58
what are the classifications of vertical defects
1. one walled 2. two walled 3. three walled
59
60
61
62
does a narrow or wider defect have a better prognosis? why?
Narrow vertical defect has a better prognosis than a wide vertical defect. Narrow defects have greater bone fill after bone graft procedure. Vertical defect must be at least 3 mm deep to place a bone graft.
63
[vertical or horizontal] defects CAN be grafter. [vertical or horizontal] defects CANNOT be grafted
Vertical defects can be grafted. Horizontal defects cannot be grafted.
64
what are concavities in the interdental bone between the facial and lingual plates
osseous crater
65
what are the different osseous architecture
1. Positive - Interproximal bone crest is coronal to facial and lingual crests of bone 2. Negative (Reversed) - Interproximal bone crest is apical to facial and lingual crests of bone 3. Flat - Interproximal bone crest is at the same level as the facial and lingual crests of bone
66
type and location of furcations for max 1st molar
1. Mesial Furcation - 3 mm apical to CEJ 2. Buccal Furcation - 4 mm apical to CEJ 3. Distal Furcation - 5 mm apical to CEJ
67
what is distance from CEJ to furcation entrance
root trunk length
68
type and location of furcations of mandibular 1st molar
Buccal Furcation - 3 mm apical to CEJ Lingual Furcation - 4 mm apical to CEJ
69
when do you suspect furcation involvement for mesial maxillary 1st molar
3 mm CAL
70
location of furcations on max 1st premolar? birfurcations how many % of the time? clinical implications
- furcations on mesial and distal - bifurcation 40% of the time (8 mm apical to CEJ) - clinical implication: Severe bone loss and CAL before exposing the furcations
71
what is buttressing bone that may be related to excessive occlusal forces
exostosis
72
what is classified by number of walls fo bone remaining
vertical bone loss
