Once the implant is uncovered, vertical bone loss of _____ can be seen apically to the new implant

A

1.5-2.0mm

22
Q

After one year of loading up to ______ mm of bone loss is considered biologic bone remodeling and WNL

A

2mm

23
Q

How do evaluate progressive bone loss with an implant?

A

Baseline X-ray

24

A

greater than 2mm

25
Q

If you do not have a radiograph how might you determine if a pathologic process is occurring?

A

PD of greater than or equal to 6mm and BOP

26
Q

A pathologic condition occurring in the tissues around dental implants, characterized by inflammation in the peri-implant mucosa and progressive loss of supporting bone

A

Peri-implantitis

27
Q

What are the clinical signs of perimplantitis?

A

  2. BOP
  3. RBL
28
Q

How much bone mesio-distally is adequate between the teeth and implant:

A

1.5 mm

29
Q

How much bone MD is adequate for papilla in anterior teeth:

A

3-4 mm

30
Q

How much bone is adequate MD between two adjacent implants:

A

3mm

31
Q

Bucco-lingually there was a significant greater resorption when the ridge width was ____ in posterior teeth

A

less than 2mm

32
Q

It is recommended to place bone level implant:

A

subcrestally

33
Q

Concept of placing an abutment of a narrower diameter on the implant of a wider diameter to preserve alveolar bone levels at the crest of the dental implant:

A

platform switching

34
Q

In platform switching we put a _____ abutment on a _____ diameter implant to preserve alveolar bone levels

A

narrower; wider

35
Q

Why is platform switching a thing?

A

it reduces peri-implant bone resorption at the one crest

36
Q

shifts the inflammatory cell infiltrate inwards and away from the adjacent crystal bone:

A

platform switching

37
Q

Platform switching maintains the:

A

supracrestal attachment

38
Q

Platform switching increases the distance of ______ from crystal bone

A

implant-abutment junction

39
Q

Platform switching limits possible interface of bone with:

A

micro movements

40
Q

A micro gap with a two-part implant may be responsible for:

A

Bacterial accumulation & subsequent bone loss

41
Q

A microgap will ultimately lead to _____ which further explains the advantages of ____

A

marginal bone loss; platform switching

42
Q

Implants site with a band of ____ of keratinized tissues were shown to be more prone to brushing discomfort, plaque accumulation, and peri-implant soft tissue inflammation when compared to implant sites with ______ mm of keratinized tissue

A

less than 2mm; greater than 2mm
