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

A

2mm

23
Q

How do we evaluate progressive bone loss with an implant?

What amount of bone loss is considered pathologic following implant placement?

A

greater than 2 mm

25
Q

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

A

Probing depth of greater than or equal to 6mm and BOP

26
Q

A pathologic condition occurring in 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 peri implantitis?

31
Q

B-L, there was a significantly 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 a abutment of a narrower diameter on the implant of a wider diameter to preserve alveolar bone levels at the crest of a 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 inward and away form 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 the 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

bacteria accumulation & bone loss

41
Q

A micro-gap will ultimately lead to ____ which further explains the advantages of ____.

A

marginal bone loss; platform switching

42
Q
