Exam 2 Mucogingival Flashcards
Mucogingival surgery is now referred to as _______________, since mucogingical surgery has moved beyond the traditional treatment of problems associated with the amount of gingiva and recession type defects to include correction of ________________ form and _________ esthetics.
- “Periodontal plastic surgery”
- alveolar ridge form
- soft tissue
What is the definition of mucogingival surgery ?
Surgical procedures performed to correct or eliminate anatomic development, or traumatic deformities of the gingiva or alveolar mucosa.
What is the mucogingival surgery (Pre-1965), The “PUSHBACK PROCEDURE”?
-Used to eliminate periodontal pockets and establish a wider band of keratinized and attached gingiva
The pushback procedure causes what 5 things?
1) Exposure of denuded bone during healing
2) RESORPTION of crestal bone
3) “Stormy” post-surgery healing phase
4) Poor esthetic results
5) Poor long-term results if infra bony lesions (vertical bone defects) are not adequately treated
Bower (1963) study stated how much gingiva is enough?
Amount of attached gingiva varies from 1mm to 9mm
*Lang & Loe (1972) study stated how much gingiva is enough?
2mm keratinized (1mm attached) is required fro health
Myosato (1977) study stated how much gingiva is enough?
1mm of attached gingiva can be healthy
Maynard & Wilson (1979) study stated how much gingiva is enough?
5mm keratinized & 3mm attached for prosthetic abutments
Dorfman & Kenny (1980) study stated how much gingiva is enough?
1mm of attached is adequate if there is not inflammation
Hangorsky & Bissada (1980)
No relationship between amount of attached gingiva & periodontal health
Wennstorm (1996) study stated how much gingiva is enough?
At LEAST 2mm attached-keratinized mucosa is necessary for maintaining health
What is the etiology of gingival recession?
1) Chewing tobacco use
2) malposed teeth
3) factital injury
4) eruption patterns
5) frenulum attachment
6) parafuctional habits
7) chromic inflammation
8) toothbrushing technique
9) thin-biotype (thin bone/thin gingiva)
10) Iatrogenic (including orthodontics)
11) Discrepancy in facial-lingual width of tooth vs. that of the alveolus
Tooth position relative to facial or lingual cortical bone may result in __________ or ______________
- Bony fenestrations
- dehiscence
When we graft recession what 2 questions can you ask?
1) How much recession
2) Is there enough keratinized gingiva
Biotype for thin gingiva (lack of tissue thickness) when combined with ________ or ___________ is likely to result in gingival recession
- bony dehiscene
- fenestration
Attached gingiva = Width of keratinized tissue - _____
PD (probing depth)
