Q

Use a probe to determine point where _______ of tissue beings

A

mobility

18
Q

Keratinized tissue is not always ________

A

attached

19
Q

Why increase the thickness of kermatizied attached gingival tissue?

A

1) Crown margins
2) Esthetics
3) Prevent further recession from happening
4) Orthodontics

20
Q

___ % of teeth with less than ___ mm keratinized attached tissue will show further recession over time

A
  • 90%

- 2mm

21
Q

Increasing width of keratinized and attached gingiva ?

A

1) Prosthetic concerns
2) Orthodontic concerns
3) Prevent progressive recession

22
Q

What are the reasons for treatment of gingival recession defects for root coverage?

A

1) esthetic concerns
2) dentinal sensitivity
3) prevention of root caries

23
Q

What are the treatment options for increasing the width of attached gingiva ?

A

1) Apically positioned flap (APF)
2) Free autogenous gingival graft (FGG)
3) Subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG)

24
Q

What is a Apically positioned flap (APF) ?

A
  • Full thickenss flap
  • Surgical flap that you slide down and suture into place you move it down.
  • You don’t cut it
25
Q

What is a Free autogenous gingival graft? (FGG)

A
  • Soft tissue graft
  • Square of surface epithelium
  • Bleeding on one side no bleeding on the other
26
Q

What are the treatment option for obtaining root coverage?

A

1) CTG
2) Semi-lunar incision + coronal positioning (Tarnow procedure)
3) Lateral pedicle flap (LPF)

27
Q

What are the factors to consider in determinng where to position the apically positioned flap (APF)? (5)

A

1) Initial width and thickness of the gingiva
2) Thickness of the marginal alveolar bone
3) Amount of pocket reduction required
4) Length of the root trunk (AVG = 3 mm)
5) Clinical crown length required for restorative or prosthetic treament and esthetics

28
Q

What are the indications for the FGG graft?

A

1) INCREASE width of attached gingiva
2) Remove abnormal frenulum attachment
3) Deepen oral vestibule
4) Ridge augmentation procedures
5) Cover exposed roots
- The FGG is rarely used for this purpose

29
Q

What are the advantages of the FGG ?

A

1) Not technically demanding
2) May be accomplished with partial or full-thickness flap reflections
3) Wide variety of clinical applications

30
Q

What are the disadvantages of the FGG?

A

1) Poor ability to provide blood supply to graft for root coverage
2) Esthetic results are compromised due to scarring during healing resulting in poor color match
3) Surgery required at 2 intraoral sites
4) Donor sire may present problems w/ bleeding, pain, and slow healing

31
Q

Why do a APF?

A
  • When preoperative condition indicates a minimal zone of exisiting keratinized attached tissue.
  • If you have to remove marginal tissue if you are going to run out at the end of the procedure you should re-position
32
Q

What are the indications for CTG ? (5)

A

1) acquire a width of attached gingiva
2) deepen the oral vestibule
3) remove frenulum and muscle attachment
4) acquire esthetic attached gingiva ( color match)
5) cover exposed root surface

33
Q

What are the advantages of CTG? (5)

A

1) High predictability
2) Graft receives abundant blood supply
3) Palatal wound (donor site) can be surgically closed, thereby facilitating rapid healing with little to no discomfort or bleeding
4) Good color match
5) Applicable for recession on multiple teeth

34
Q

What are the disadvantages for CTG?

A

1) technically demanding

2) Gingivoplasty may be necessary after healing to obtain better tissue contours and decrease thickness

35
Q

What is the GOLD STANDARD for grafting tissue?

A

Connective Tissue Graft (CTG)

36
Q

CT induces _________ of whatever you put over it

A

keratinization

37
Q

What are the indications for the Semi-lunar incision with Coronal Positioning (Tarnow procedure)

A

1) MAX anterior teeth with no more than 2 mm of recession and 3-5 mm of remaining keratinized gingiva
2) A complimentary procedure for small areas of gingival recession remaining after other procedures were used for root coverage (e.g., FGG, CTG, GTR)

38
Q

What are the ADVANTAGES of the Semi-lunar incision with coronal positioning (Tarnow procedure) ? (7)

A

1) No tension on coronal positioned flap
2) No narrowing of the oral vestibule
3) Good esthetics due to color match
4) Papillary height is preserved
5) Simple surgical procedure
6) Minimal post-operative discomfort
7) Applicable to minimal gingival recession across multiple teeth

39
Q

What are the DISADVANTAGES to the Semi-lunar incision with coronal positioning (Tarnow procedure) ?

A

1) Not applicable in cases of moderate to advanced gingival recession, i.e., Greater than 2 mm
2) Requires 3-5 mm of thick keratinized tissue
3) Healing is by secondary intention and therefore some contraction may occur
4) May require a second procedure, depends on occurrence of tissue contraction
5) Where osseous dehiscence or fenestration exists apical to the gingival recession area, a FGG or CTG should be performed after coronal positioning of the semi-lunar flap

40
Q

What is the LPF procedure?

A
  • Lateral pedicle flap

- Removing gingiva from the adjacent tooth
