Efficacy of Treatment and Implants Flashcards
What are some indications for perio surgery?
- Failure to resolve inflammation with S/RP
- Regenerate or cosmetically improve periodontium
- Restorative needs
T/F: Surgical treatment alone will improve long term outcome.
False
Need maintenance
T/F: Perio maintenance patients should have PSR screening at each visit.
False
Full mouth charting
How often should maintenance be performed on a patient with hx of bone loss?
Every 3 months
T/F: Implant maintenance should involve probing.
True
Prefer plastic probe
T/F: Bodily movement of an implant is considered implant failure.
True
T/F: Treatment of peri-implantitis is predictable.
False
Periodontitis is predictable
T/F: Maintaining peri-implant tissue health is more costly compared to periodontal maintenance.
True
When placed in mature bone, how much bone is needed on all sides just to prevent resorption?
1 mm
T/F: A patient who grinds and clenches will need a wider/longer implant.
True
How much interocclusal distance is needed between the top of the implant to occluding teeth?
7 mm crown height
How much space is needed between adjacent implants? Implant and adjacent tooth?
Implants: 3 mm
Implant and tooth: 2-3 mm
What is a major consideration in mandibular implant surgery?
Know where the mental nerve is
Also jaw shape - be sure drill will not poke through bottom and cause bleeding under the tongue
How much bone do you need below the sinus to place an implant?
If less than 5 mm you must do a direct sinus lift
T/F: Immediate implant placement will prevent the physiologic bone modeling/remodeling..
False
What is a major contraindication for immediate implant placement?
Thin tissue or thin buccal bone
Roughly how long do you wait to place implant in early placement?
About 1 month - soft tissue healing
For immediate and early placement, how much bone must be left apical to the of the socket?
Must be 3mm to get primary implant stability
must be something to screw into
T/F: Thin tissue biotype is good for immediate or early implant placement.
False
T/F: Three out of four socket walls must be intact to place immediate or early implant.
True
Roughly how long do you wait for late implant placement?
16 weeks - the ridge is healed (no hole)
What is a major disadvantage of late implant placement?
Large variation in bone resorption
