EXAM 2 Intro to Barrier Technology and Osseous Grafts Flashcards
what are the 4 possible outcomes of osseous therapy?
- new attachment
- long junctional epithelium
- root resorption/ankylosis
- recurrence of pocket
describe “new attachment”
- the union of connective tissue or epithelium with a root surface that has been deprived of its original attachment apparatus
- this new attachment may be epithelial adhesion and/or connective tissue adaptation or attachment and may include new cementum
what is described by the healing of a wound by tissue that does not fully restore the architecture or the function of the part?
repair
what is described by procedures attempting to regenerate lost periodontal structures through differential tissue responses?
guided tissue regeneration (GTR)
GTR involves the exclusion of ___ and ___ from the root surface during healing
epithelium and connective tissue
GTR involves repopulation of the area by cells from ___ and ___
the periodontal ligament and bone
in 1976, melcher suggested that there were 4 separate compartments of connective tissue in the periodontium. what are they?
- the gingival corium (CT)
- periodontal ligament
- cementum
- bone
cells that would repopulate the periodontal defect could arise from which 4 major structures?
- gingival epithelium
- gingival connective tissue
- bone
- periodontal ligament
in 1982, nyman and coworders demonstrated the first human histologic evidence of ___ in response to guided tissue regeneration
periodontal regeneration
a certain degree of success has been seen with GTR, but there are some cases wherein the potential for regeneration is not maximized. this is associated with the fact that the development of the periodontal tissues requires a complex cascade of interactions between various ___ and ___
cells and matrix elements
although regeneration has been demonstrated to be achievable, it still hasn’t been demonstrated to be 100% predictable clinically. predictable regeneration is greatly influenced by what?
the type of osseous defect present
what are the 3 classifications of osseous defects?
- 3-wall infrabony defects
- 2-wall infrabony defects
- 1-wall infrabony defects
what is the function of the placement of a barrier in GTR?
ensures repopulation of cells from the periodontal ligament
ideal properties of barrier membranes include what 5 things?
- bio-compatibility
- space maintenance
- cell occlusiveness
- good handling properties
- resorbability
barriers can be divided into what two major categories?
non-absorbable and absorbable
aka non-resorbable and resorbable
what type of barrier is described by the following:
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
expanded PTFE (ex. gore-tex, titanium reinforced gore-tex)
non-porous polytetrafluoroethylene (ex. tefgen-fd)
non-resorbable barrier membrane
were absorbable or non-resorbable barrier membranes the first approved for clinical use?
non-resorbable
what are the advantages of non-resorbable barriers?
- they maintain their structural integrity and their essential features for as long as they are left in the tissues
- maintain separation of tissues over an extended period, if unexposed
- have more “body” (thickness) and rigidity compared to the resorbable barriers
what are the disadvantages of non-resorbable barriers?
- it requires a second surgical procedure for its removal
- in the event that the barrier is exposed, the non-resorbable barrier is very susceptible to bacterial contamination and accumulation
- premature removal results in less regeneration
what are 4 complications of the use of non-resorbable barriers?
pain, purulence, swelling, tissue sloughing
which non-resorbable barrier is described by the following:
this barrier features two structural designs to address specific needs
- an open microstructure collar corresponding to the coronal aspect of the device
- partially occlusive, structurally relatively stable membrane
gore-tex
the ___ aspect of the barrier serves to promote connective tissue ingrowth, support wound stability, and to inhibit epithelial migration
coronal
what are 3 other non-resorbable materials that have been investigated and considered as barriers?
- rubber dams
- resin-ionomer barrier
- composite device made out of knitted nylon fabric mechanically bonded onto a semi-permeable silicone membrane and coated with collagen peptides
what is the function of the apical aspect of barriers?
- provide a space for regeneration and as a barrier towards gingival flap tissue invasion or collapse onto the root surface
- this part has higher density and is less porous
___-reinfoced nonresorbable membranes maintain space better
titanium
what are the two main types of resorbable barrier membranes?
- natural - collagen
- synthetic (organic aliphatic thermoplastic materials)
describe synthetic resorbable barrier membranes
- organic aliphatic thermoplastic materials
- poly (alpha-hydroxy acids)
- polylactide
- polyglycolic
- copolymer poly (glycolide-lactide)
what is an advantage of resorbable barrier membranes?
elimination of a second surgical procedure for the membrane removal
