Q

definition of biofilm

A

A multispecies community of microorganisms that adhere to each other and a surface and are encased in an extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is a complex polymeric substance that protects the microorganisms from environmental stresses. Bacteria living in a biofilm have a different physiology from free-living bacteria and are more difficult to eradicate with antibiotics. Dental plaque is the prototypical example of a biofilm.

Q

modes of attachment according to canis

A

Canis et al rejected the possibility that microorganisms can penetrate the cementum surface and considered this phenomenon as an artifact due to superimposition of a detached cementum onto the tooth structure during sample preparation. These findings were confirmed using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

-located mostly at the coronal
third of the cementum, serving as susceptible sites for
calculus formation
-could be the result of inadvertent root gouging during mechanical instrumentation and can be associated with traumatic occlusion or traumatic events

A

-very localized deep pocketing and radiographically (about 50% of the cases) with a localized radiolucency surrounding a “prickle-like body”

-aluminum-oxide base had minor plaque retention (32%), whereas PFM crowns (90%), natural teeth (110%), cast gold restorations (148%), and acrylic resin veneer crowns (152%) had substantially more plaque retention.
-van Dijken and Sjöström: no difference in plaque and GI with glass ionomer cement and composite versus enamel for Class V subgingival
-Proceedings from the 2017 World Workshop on the classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions concluded that dental materials act similar to enamel as plaque retentive factors to initiate gingivitis

50
Q

effect of subgingival margins on periodontal health with respect to the Schatzle and Lang studies.

A

-Schatzle 2001: A 26-year longitudinal study; subgingival margins exert a detrimental effect to gingival and periodontal health; loss of attachment clinically detectable 1-3 years after subgingival resto but then a “burn-out” effect occurs.
-Lang 1983: restorations with overhanging margins resulted in changes in subgingival microflora - increased proportions of gram
neg anaerobic bacteria, black-pigmented Bacteroides, and an increase in anaerobe:facultative ratio were noted. These changes may potentially initiate periodontal disease associated with iatrogenic factors.

51
Q

effect of overhang margins on perio health, WRT Jeffcoat and Howell; Pack

A
  • Jeffcoat and Howell: amalgam overhangs on the alveolar bone height. only medium and large (so over 20% interprox space occupied) overhanging restos had sig bone loss when compared with control teeth

-Pack: most overhangs were associated with PD >3mm (64.3%) and BOP (32%).

-Lang: overhangs produce more gingival inflammation and shift the microbiome more towards gram -’ve + anaerobic + elevated levels of black pigmented bacteriodes.

52
Q

does removing overhangs help in periodontal health

A

Removal of overhangs+plaque elimination results in significant reduction of GI and it is recommended during the initial phase of periodontal therapy
