Case Presentation Flashcards
Benefit of surgery 1 quadrant at a time
Radvar - Clinical improvements in last untreated quadrant
Mechanism - removal of granulation tissue, disruption of microbial flora, improve AB avidity
How long until flap is stable after surgery?
Hiatt - at 2 weeks, suture pulled through w/o fully displacing flap
Clefts/craters
Jenkins - not an indication of poor healing, resolve within 6 months
Cleft - separated by 1mm
Crater - depression
Healing sequence after FO
Wilderman
Immediate - clot + PMN band
1-2 days - epithelial migration 0.5mm/day beneath polyband. MP clear debris
3-4 days - Increase fibroblasts, disorganized CT matrix, begin angiogenesis and osteoclast resorption
1-2 weeks - Increase collagen. Begin OB, decrease OC
1 month - Peak OB, collagen synthesis parallel to root
6 months - Mature CT/PDL insertion into bone. Woven to lamellar
Infection rate after surgery
Powell - 2%.
Perio-Pak and infection
Powell: No difference, trend towards infection
Cecchi & Trombelli - NO difference in analgesic usage
“There is evidence that there is no advantage”
Chlorhexidine post surgery (3 studies)
Powell - NO difference in infection rate w/ or w/o CHX or ABC
Newman - CHX SS lower PI/GI/plaque/bacteria vs control
Zambon - CHX SS improve post-op plaque/inflammation
CHX w/o mechanical therapy
Zanata - does not reduce bacteria
Suture technique FO
Nelson - no difference in continuous sling vs interrupted
Bone loss in thin bone
Wilderman - average 0.8mm
Crestal bone loss after surgery
Pennel - 0.54mm. 82% lost <1mm
Exposed bone covered w/ what?
Pfeifer - CT/PDL. Minimal bone loss
Bone loss in thick/thin
Wilderman/Wentz/Orban
More IP loss, but thicker cancellous section
Thicker = marrow bone
Thin = facial surface
Phases of hemostasis
Vascular - vasoconstriction after damage to vessel wall
Platelet - vWF released, platelet aggregation
Coagulation - clotting cascade, fibrin clot
Removal of granulation tissue during surgery?
Lindhe - Split mouth study, granulation tissue removal not critical. Debridement/SRP more important
Remove sulcular epithelium?
Pippin - it degenerates, not necessary to remove
Flap H/W ratio?
Mormann - angiographic study. MAX 2:1 H/W ratio
Where do cells come from for flap healing?
Wilderman - epithelial cells from edge of flap wound margin. CT cells from PDL
Distal wedge?
Robinson
Incision design
Cattermole: Scalloped vs linear. 2 weeks greater GI w/ linear, no difference at 12 weeks
MWF vs sulcular
Smith - 3 months, no difference
Goals of surgery - Access NM
Brayer - 4mm+ OFD/BCP more effective
Goals of surgery - Access All Teeth
Caffesse
% calculus free
4-6mm: 43% vs 76%
7mm: 32% vs 50%
Goals of surgery - Access, % plaque free
Waerhaug - 11% plaque free >5mm
Goals of surgery - Access, Molars
Fleischer - OFD/BCP enhances calculus removal in molars w/ furcation invasion
Goals of surgery - Reduce inflammation
Levy - remove etiology, reduce inflammation, perio surgery reduced bacterial load
FO studies
Olsen/Ammons - OFD vs FO 5 years. OFD 2.3X more 4mm+ sites w/ BOP.
FO fewer residual pockets and less inflammation
Kahldahl/Kahlwarf - CS/SRP/MWF/FO 7 years. FO least breakdown
Goals of surgery - CAL gain
Froum - OFD 3.3mm PD reduction 2mm recession 1.4mm attachment gain 1.2mm radiographic bone fill 0.8mm resorption LJE
LJE resistance
Magnusson - LJE as resistant to plaque/inflammation as control (MONKEY)
Critical PD
Lindhe
SRP - 2.9mm
Surgery - 4.2mm
Surgery > SRP - 5.4mm
Plaque infested dentition
Nyman & Lindhe - q2weeks vs q6months (2.2mm LOA vs 0.1mm CAL gain) for non-molars
Maintenance interval
Ramfjord - 3 months arbitrary
Mosques - bacterial repopulation
Different types of maintenance
Schallhorn - preventative, trial, compromised, post-treatment
Maintenance in a periodontists office?
Axelsson - better maintained w/ periodontist vs GP
Status of well-maintained patients over 22 years
Hirschfeld & Wassermann
Well maintained (0-3): 83%
Downhill (4-9): 13%
Extreme downhill (10-23): 4%
