6 - Periodontal Pocket Formation and Bone Loss Flashcards
what xray detects peri-radicular pathology and uses a long cone paralleling technique
periapical
what bitewing for early to moderate bone loss
horizontal BW
what BW for severe bone loss
vertical BW
what xray best evaluates bone loss amount and least interproximal bone distortion
BW
what is a pathologically deepened gingival sulcus with CAL
periodontal pocket
what are the two pocket classifications
- gingival pocket (pseudopocket)
- periodontal pocket
what is formed by gingival enlargement WITHOUT destruction of underlying periodontal tissues
gingival pocket (psudopocket)
what occurs with destruction of supporting periodontal tissues (gingival collagen fibers, PDL fibers, bone)
periodontal pocket
A
gingival pocket
B
suprabony pocket
C
intrabony pocket
what are 2 types of periodontal pockets
- suprabony (supracrestal)
- intrabony (infrabony, subcrestal)
what perio pocket has bottom of pocket CORONAL to underlying alveolar bone
suprabony (supracrestal)
what perio pocket has bottom of pocket APICAL to level of adjacent alveolar bone
intrabony (infrabony, subcrestal)
where does intrabony pocket wall lie
between tooth surface and alveolar bone
the initial lesion in the development of periodontitis is what
inflammation of gingiva in response to bacterial challenge
in pocket formation, what is destroyed?
gingival collagen fibers apical to junctional epithelium
steps in pocket formation
- inflammation in CT wall of gingival sulcus
- gingival collagen fibers apical to JE destroyed
- loss of collagen results JE proliferation and migrates apically along root
- coronal portion of JE detaches from root and sulcus bottom shifts apically
how does pocket affect root surface
- cementum facing pocked becomes exposed to oral environment
- bacteria penetrate the cementum and dentinal tubules
T/F: scaling and root planing should remove some cementum to DETOXIFY root surface with pockets
TRUE
is bacteria capable of evading the host defense and scaling and root planing efforts by hiding in the root surface
YES
___ + ___ = CAL
PD + GM (gingival margin)
can you have same pocket depths with different gingival margins
YES
gingival margin positions are relative to what
CEJ
gingival margin APICAL to CEJ is called what? positive or negative number?
recession; positive number for gingival margin
if gingival margin CORONAL to CEJ, is this positive or negative number?
negative
if gingival margin is at CEJ, is this a positive or negative number?
just 0
