Q

What does orthodontics affect ?

A
  • create area of dehiscence (splitting open area)
    o Affect volume of tissue (very thin soft tissue has greater tendency for recession)
    o Greater risk of recession with excessive proclination (tilting forward) of lower incisors & arch expansion

Q

What is the type of gingivae?

A

o Thin gingivae >more likely to get recession
o Height of keretined tissue not important
o Thickness of tissue is key> able to withstand trauma

Q

What does a big frenulum mean?

A

Trauma more likely so recession to occur here

•, plaque buildup may lead to recession

Q

What are local plaque retentive factors?

A
  • Subgingival margins around teeth increase plaque retention
  • More inflammation in thin gingivae
  • Calculus> Colonies grow and when calculus is removed recession seen

Q

What does active perio. disease lead to ?

A

recession, perio disease leads to:
o Bone loss
o Apical migration of the soft tissues

17
Q

When is recession usually seen with perio. disease?

A

post treatment

18
Q

Is smoking linked to recession ?

A

where smoke pools

19
Q

What are consequences of recession

A
  • Pain!
  • Patients not happy with aesthetics
  • Fear of tooth loss
  • Plaque retention/bleeding gingivae
  • Root caries can occur
  • Abrasion may occur> teeth being unstable in mouth
20
Q

What is examination of recession ?

A
dental charting 
• BPE 
o Record extent of recession 
o Description: is it a narrow/wide defect? Does it go below mucogingival line?
o Index’s used
21
Q

What is treatment planning ?

A
  • Identify etiological factors >why is recession ?
  • Pain management
  • Prevent progression
22
Q

What is patient advice?

A
•Oral hygiene advice:
o BASS technique
o Roll technique may be advised, 
• Electrical toothbrushes
• Smoking cessation 
• Address and identify any traumatic habits
23
Q

How to detect root caries interproximally/?

A
  • radiographs
24
Q

What is treatment of perio disease like?

A

initial/corrective/supportive therapy

25
Q

What restorations for aesthetics are there ?

A
  • recession won’t get worse if OH good
  • Removable gingival veneers made (silicone or acrylic)
  • Mask to cover black triangles or interdental spaces
  • Crowns/ veneers be placed
  • Root coverage achieved
26
Q

What surgery is available for gingival recession ?

A

o Increase keratinized tissue
o Frenectomy
o Root coverage

27
Q

What are root coverage indications ?

A
  • Aesthetics important to patient
  • Hypersensitivity problems with patient
  • Shallow root caries & abrasion
28
Q

What are root coverage techniques?

A
  • Pedicle flaps has connection, whereas free flap has no connection
  • Pedicle flaps keep blood supply
  • Free epithelialized gingival graft
  • Guided tissue regeneration
  • Sub-epithelial connective tissue graft
29
Q

What are tissue grafts?

A

remove tissue from next door tooth, area has tissue removed from should re-epithelize

30
Q

What is guided tissue regen. ?

A

use of a membrane that separates tissue from tooth - cells to grow in different rates
- new regrown tissue will form

31
Q

What is subepithelial connective tissue graft?

A

free graft (cut out of palate) and place in gingivae >tunnel technique

32
Q

What does tissue graft entail ?

A
  • Connective tissue attachment apically
  • Epithelial attachment coronally
  • Tissue retraction at gingival margin
  • Creeping attachment occurs
  • 50-90% of root surface coverage achieved
