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
what is periodontal inury to a tooth with PREVIOUSLY HEALTHY PERIODONTIUM
primary occlusal trauma
in primary occlusal trauma, does the tooth have loss of attachment of bone loss?
NO!
primary occlusal trauma occurs when occlusal trauma is a result of what?
alterations in occlusal forces
T/F: in primary occlusal trauma, occlusal forces are excessie
TRUE
what is periodontal injury to a tooth with bone loss or attachment loss
secondary occlusal trauma
in what trauma does the tooth have a reduced ability to withstand occlusal forces
secondary occlusal trauma
in secondary occlusal trauma, do previously well-tolerated forces become traumatic
YES
T/F: in secondary occlusal trauma, occlusal forces may be normal or excessive on the tooth
true
what is this an example of:
patient has previously healthy periodontium, new restoration was in hyperocclusion
primary occlusal trauma
what is an example of:
missing posterior teeth, no bone loss, excessive occlusal forces applied to premolars, teeth #4 and #5 are moblie
primary occlusal trauma
what is this example of:
toth #8 have been loss and cannot withstand normal occlusal forces, #8 is mobile and extruded, pathologic tooth migration present
secondary occlusal trauma
what type of occlusal trauma
primary
what type of occlusal trauma
secondary
what type of occlusal trauma
secondary
what are signs of occlusal trauma
- widened PDL
- angular (vertical) defects in bone)
- moibile teeth
- thick lamina dura
- root resorption
- fremitus
what is the vibration of movement felt on crown of tooth as patient occludes
fremitus
how to check for fremitus
- place finger on facial of tooth
- ask pt to gently tap up and down
- feel for vibration or movement of tooth
what is the mobility scale (each class)
Class I = <1 mm
Class II = tooth moves B-L 1-2 mm
Class III - tooth moves B-L >2 mm or is depressible in socket
what are the stages of tissue response to increased occlusal forces
Stage I - injury
Stage II - repair
Stage III - adaptive remodeling
what stage of tissue response:
tissue injury produced by excessive occlusal forces
stage I - injury
what is the most susceptible to Stage I injury from excessive occlusal forces
