What are the BMI classifications?
a. Underweight < 18.5
b. Normal 18.5-24.9
c. Overweight 25-29.9
d. Obese >30 (class 1: 30-34, class 2: 35-39, class 3: 40+)
Discuss the new BP Classification criteria
a. Normal: <120/<80
b. Elevated: 120-129/<80
c. Stage 1: 130-139/80-89
d. Stage 2: >140/>90
Discuss the Miller Mobility Classification
a. Class 1 - first distinguishable sign of movement greater than normal
b. Class 2 - movement of the tooth which allows the crown to move 1mm in any direction
c. Class 3 - allows the tooth to move more than 1mm in any direction, or teeth that may be rotated or depressed in their alveoli.
Discuss the furcation arrow and its importance on radiographs?
a. Hardekopf
i. Dry skull study showed degree III furcation had furcation arrow >50% of the time and that more advanced bony defect led to increased incidence of furcation arrow.
b. Deas, Moritz, Mealey
i. Evaluated patients during surgery and compared with pre-op x rays
ii. Low inter-examiner agreement - 0.49
iii. Sensitivity - 38.7%, Specificity - 92%, PPV - 72%, NPV - 75%
iv. Most actual furcation invasions are not associated with furcation arrows
v. Data suggest that furcation arrow has limited usefulness as a diagnostic marker of furcation invasion. The image is difficult to interpret, highly subjective, and can correctly predict furcation invasions only 70% of the time when present on the radiograph. In addition, when furcation invasions are truly present, the furcation arrow is seen in <40% of sites.
When will you see radiographic bone loss?
Jeffcoat:
30-50% of demineralization is required before radiographic bone loss is visible
What do you know about the alveolar crest in relationship to the CEJ of teeth?
d. Richey and Orban
i. In health, alveolar interdental crest is parallel to CEJ
e. Hausman
i. Bone-CEJ in health is roughly 2mm
Discuss the modes of calculus attachment to the tooth?
a. Zander
I. Original study and Canis did study again with electron microscope
ii. Calculus attachment
1. To pellicle of tooth
2. Cemental irregularities
3. Mechanical undercuts and resorption bays
4. Penetration of bacteria into cementum (not found in Canis study)
What are the mechanisms of calculus formation?
i. Booster
1. Proteolytic activity of bacteria increases the local pH by urea and ammonium bi-products causing precipitation of mineral.
ii. Epitactic
1. Nucleation or crystal seeding within plaque matrix
What is the Kwok and Caton Prognostication system?
a. Kwok and Caton - periodontal stability as therapeutic end point (vs McGuire using tooth loss)
i. Favorable: Perio status can be stabilized with treatment and maintenance. Loss of periodontal tissue is unlikely.
ii. Questionable: Periodontal status of the tooth is influenced by local and/or systemic factors that may or may not be able to be controlled. The periodontium can be stabilized with comprehensive periodontal treatment and periodontal maintenance if these factors are controlled - otherwise, future periodontal breakdown may occur.
iii. Unfavorable: The periodontal status of the tooth is influenced by local and/or systemic factors that cannot be controlled. Periodontal breakdown is likely to occur even with comprehensive treatment and maintenance.
iv. Hopeless: The tooth must be extracted.
How much PD reduction can you expect to get from non-surgical therapy?
i. Hung and Douglass - meta analysis
1. 4-6mm PDs - Gain of 1mm PD and 0.5mm CAL gain
2. >6mm PDs - Gain of 2mm PD and 1.0mm in CAL gain
What is Chlorhexidine?
Cationic bisbiguanide - ruptures cell membranes, kills a lot of bacteria that dead cells can serve as nidus for calculus formation, 11% alcohol. Increased substantivity due to positive charge that binds to negatively charged membranes
i. 50% anti-plaque, 45% anti-gingivitis
Do you have better results when you do SRP before surgery?
Aljateeli and Koticha
- RCT showed MWF w/o SRP and with initial SRP both improved in PD and CAL from baseline but MWF with SRP had significantly greater PD reduction and slightly more radiographic bone fill
What is the anatomy (size) of the furcation entrance?
a. Bower
i. 81% of furcal openings are <1mm, 58% are <0.75mm.
ii. Curette width range = 0.75 to 1.1mmm
iii. Cavitron tip = 0.6mm width
Why do you measure the contralateral tooth of supracrestal attachment when determining crown lengthening?
15.2. Barboza:
Contralateral supragingival tissue measurements prior to crown lengthening may help determine the appropriate amount of bone removal necessary for an individual tooth. Due to the range of 1-6mm SGT measurements, the classic recommendation of 3mm bone removal for crown lengthening and 0.5mm margin into the sulcus is not appropriate for all patients.
Discuss average bone removal acquired during crown lengthening and the importance of the sutured flap?
15.8. Deas:
Evaluation of osseous reduction at treated sites showed 23.6% received 0 mm, 44.3% received 1 mm, 25.4% received 2 mm, 6.2% received 3 mm, and 0.3% received ≥4mm osseous reduction.
a. Tissue rebound 6 months following surgery was reported according to the distance from the flap margin to the alveolar crest following suturing: ≤1 mm yielded 1.33 mm rebound, 2 mm yielded 0.9 mm, 3 mm yielded 0.47 mm, and ≥4 mm yielded -0.16 mm.
b. BL: Significant soft tissue rebound occurs following crown lengthening, which may not be stabilized by 6 months. The amount of rebound appears to be related to the sutured position of the flap relative to the bony crest. Rely on osseous resection for gain in clinical crown height not apical position of the replaced flap.
Tell me everything you know about probing?
Line angle vs mid proximal?
8.2. Persson: For posterior teeth, mid-proximal measurements are approximately 1 mm more than line-angle measurements. Line-angle measurements may underestimate periodontal disease prevalence, and, mid-proximal probably yields the best data for diagnosis and treatment.
Probe tip diameter
8.3. Garnick: Greater the diameter, the more force you must have to create proper pressure for probing.
Probing inflammed tissue
8.4. Fowler:
Probe .45mm into CT in inflammed tissue, whereas you probe .73mm coronal to base of JE in healthy tissue. The probe tip usually does not reach the base of the JE in pockets treated by plaque control and root planing. In disease, the probe tip penetrates beyond JE
Probe reproducibility
8.7. Badersten: 90% of probing attachment level (PAL) measurements and probing pocket depths (PPD) were reproducible within + 1.0mm. Reproducibility varied between tooth type, tooth surface, and depth of pocket. Incisors, buccal surfaces and shallower pockets had the lowest variability.
Probing Force
- Mombelli: Higher probing forces results in more reproducible depth measurements, whereas lower probing forces allow better detection of small changes.
- 18 - Lang - Uncontrolled forces may lead to false positive BOP readings. There is a possibility for trauma to healthy gingival tissues if a probing force greater than 0.25N is used.
- 19 - Gerber - Implants bleed more readily in the absence of inflammation than do natural teeth. This is of importance to the clinician especially if he/she is trying to draw conclusions based on BOP. The clinician needs to be cognizant of the amount of force he/she is using when probing peri-implant sites and realize that BOP does not always indicate inflammation or disease. Probing pressure of 0.15 N is suggested to avoid false positives at peri-implant sites.
How often do we have accessory canals in a perio pocket?
16.4. Kirkham:
23% of the 100 teeth had accessory canals. Only 2% of all teeth (8.7% of the 23 teeth) had an accessory canal located within a periodontal pocket. The incidence of accessory canals in periodontal pockets is low.
Discuss the influence of endodontic infection on the progression of marginal bone loss in periodontitis pts?
Some say yes, some say no.
Jansson was in periodontitis patients whereas Miyashita was in non periodontitis patients.
- Jansson: YES. Retrospective radiographic study in periodontitis pts. In patients prone to periodontitis, the presence of active periapical pathology contributes to greater bone loss over time than in endodontically healthy teeth. Attachment loss was 3x higher in patients with endodontic infection and periodontitis (average = 0.19mm/yr vs. 0.06mm/yr in healthy).
- Miyashita: NO. Longitudinal cohort study with exam and radiographs of healthy pts. The pulp and/or periapical status did not seem to have any significant affect on alveolar bone levels in adults with little to no periodontal disease.
Can you get new attachment/repair on endodontically treated teeth?
6.13. Dunlap:
Growth was observed on all 10 root planed, endo-treated/non-vital sections with no difference in growth observed compared to vital teeth. Both vital and endodontically treated teeth are capable of forming new attachment following root planing in vitro. New attachment procedures should succeed on endodontically treated teeth.
Can aggressive perio therapy cause pulp necrosis?
16.17. De Sanctis:
Retrospective study of 137 pts. Teeth with localized severe periodontitis that undergo aggressive root planing in conjunction with regenerative therapy are not at an increased risk for pulpal necrosis. In general, preventive root canal therapy is not indicated in these teeth and should only be considered if the osseous defect extends to or beyond the apical foramen of the tooth.
Discuss the rationale and indications for implant cantilever crown?
- 6 Kim:
The presence of a cantilever in implant supported FDPs had no impact on marginal bone loss, the posterior mandible was the only exception, as the marginal bone loss for implants in the proximity to cantilevers in this region was higher. The presence of a cantilever did increase the rate of technical complications. These technical complications were often associated with subsequent biologic complications and marginal bone loss. Cantilever arm length >8mm was associated with higher rate of complications.
Discuss association of shallow vestibular depth and peri-implant parameters?
- Halperin-Sterfeld:
- A shallow vestibular depth (< 4 mm) was found to be significantly associated with increased recession (0.91 vs 0.47 mm), Relative attachment loss(4.23 vs 3.59 mm), Radiographic bone loss (2.18 vs 1.70 mm), BOP (p=0.017), GI (p=0.031), and decreased Keratinized mucosal width (1.24 vs 2.38 mm) when compared to sites with > 4mm VD.
Is granulation tissue removal during flap surgery necessary for proper healing?
- Lindhe and Nyman:
15 patients. Performed modified widman, modified kirkland, or SRP.
Results - Complete granulation tissue removal during surgery is not critical for proper healing.
- Lindhe and Nyman:
Will you get improvement in additional quadrants by performing surgery in other quadrants?
22.3. Radvar:
22 pts. Pt needed surgery in all 4 quadrants. Osseous was performed in 2 week intervals. They noticed after 3 quadrants of surgery that the 4th quadrant improved.
