8 - Occlusal Trauma Flashcards
the periodontium attempts to adapt to what
occlusal forces
effects of occlusal forces are influenced by what
- magnitude
- direction
- duration
- frequency
increased magnitude of occlusal forces on peridontium results in what
- WIDENED PDL space (increase # and width of PDL fibers)
- INCREASED DENSITY of alveolar bone
PDL best accomodates forces along what axis of tooth
LONG AXIS
___ and ___ can INJURE the periodontium (in terms of direction)
LATERAL FORCES (horizontal) and TORQUE (rotational) can injury the periodontium
what forces are more damaging than intermittent forces
constant forces (increased frequency is more damaging)
what are microscopic alterations of PDL that result in increased tooth mobility
occlusal trauma
tissue injury to ___, ___, and ___ results when occlusal forces exceed the adaptive capacity of periodontium
PDL, alveolar bone, and cementum
tissue injury is also called what
occlusal trauma
what is the INJURY to periodontal tissues (PDL, alveolar bone, cementum) from excessive occlusal forces
occlusal trauma
is occlusal trauma visible histologically
YES
what is the “effect”? what is the “cause”?
effect = occlusal trauma
cause = traumatic occlusion or traumatic occlusal force
what is the FORCE the produces injury to the periodontal tissues
traumatic occlusion or traumatic occlusal force
what does this show
necrosis of PDL (chronic occlusal trauma)
what does this show
cemental tear (acute occlusal trauma)
are dental implants capable of adapting to occlusal forces
NO
does dental implant have PDL
no
in dental implant, there is [horizontal OR vertical] crestal bone loss with traumatic occlusal forces
VERTICAL
acute occlusal trauma results from what type of occlusal impact
ABRUPT
what are examples of acute occlusal trauma
tooth pain, sensitivity to percussion or cold, increased tooth mobility
a patient with a recent restoration on #3, hyperocclusion, and reports exterme sensitivity to biting pressure and percussion has what type of trauma?
treatment?
acute occlusal trauma
tx: occlusal adjustment (tissue injury heals and symptoms subside)
what trauma is more common that acute
chronic occlusal trauma
what develops gradually from occlusal changes
chronic occlusal trauma
what are examples of chronic occlusal trauma
tooth attrition
drifiting
extrusion
bruxism
clenching
