23
Q

why are the exposed root surfaces a concern?

A

bc it results in dentin hypersensitivity or hypersensitivity and carious lesions

24
Q

what factors determine the interval between perio maintenance visits?

A 
probing depths
bleeding on probing
effectiveness of patient plaque biofilm control
age
medical and dental history
perio history
history of compliance
compliance with oral home care regimen
25
Q

what are the active ingredients in desensitizing in tooth paste products?

A

potassium nitrate, strontium chloride, and sodium citrate

26
Q

what are the five objectives of periodontal maintenance?

A

preservation of clinical attachment loss

maintenance of alveolar bone height

control of inflammation

evaluation and reinforcement of personal oral hygiene

maintenance of optimal oral health

27
Q

this is necessary to monitor for periodontal health?

A

gain or loss of clinical attachment levels and probing depths

28
Q

what are the characteristic signs of inflammation?

A

swelling, heat, pain and redness

29
Q

fluoride rinses are not recommened for the pero maintenance pt bc systemic water fluoridation alone is more effective for root caries

A

the statement is correct, but reason is not

30
Q

this is continuing periodic assessment and prophylactic treatment of the periodontal structures that permit early detection and treatment of new recurring abnormalities or disease

A

periodontal maintenance

31
Q

the effectiveness of maintenance therapy is supported by evidence indicating that…

A

supragingival plaque biofilm control alone can improve probing depths and CAL in patients with perio

32
Q

what are other names for periodontal maintenance?

A

recall, periodontal maintenance therapy, supportive periodontal therapy, or the maintenance phase of periodontal therapy

33
Q

what are some factors that may cause adverse periodontal conditions?

A

defective restorations, overhanging margins, open contacts, over contoured crowns, poorly fitting removeable prosthesis

34
Q

what are strategies for minimizing risk of caries?

A

frequent dental visits, topical fluorides, and diet control

35
Q

what medications are associated with causing xerosotmia?

A

antiacne drugs

antianxiety drugs

antihypersensitives

antidepressants

muscle relaxants

antipsychotics

decongestants

parkinsonism drugs

diuretics

antiinflammtory analgesics

antinauseants

36
Q

what are the long term periodontal maintenance components

A

assessment
prevention
treatment

37
Q

what factors may contribute to the failure of maintenance of periodontal health?

A

insufficient patient plaque biofilm control

incomplete removal of bacterial plaque biofilm and calculus during therapy

presence of faulty restorations

lack of patient compliance with recommended maintenance procedures

systemic conditions that negatively affect the oral cavity

38
Q

extension of the pocket beyond the mucogingival junction and into the alveolar mucosa represents…

A

mucogingival involvement

39
Q

what are the strategies to prevent root caries?

A

increase remineralization of teeth through fluoride therapy

reduce number of microorganisms through effective plaque biofilm control and antimicrobial agents

modify the caries risk by selecting non cariogenic foods

limit the frequency of consuming fermentable carbs

improve salivary flow

40
Q

what are the principal aims of the maintenance appointment?

A

evauluate stability of results after active therapy

remove bacterial plaque biofilm accumulations on tooth surface

eliminate all factors that favor bacteria

evaluate and reinforce plaque biofilm control

this is defined by loss of clinical attachment and supporting bone to multirooted tooth beyond the division of the roots

furcation involvement

patients with xerostomia have increased risk of…

chemical and physical

49
Q

what are the causes of tooth mobility?

A

inflammation of PDL
Loss of perio support
trauma from occlusion

50
Q

all medications can cause xerostomia except…

A

antifungal

Q

what may xerostomia be related to?

A

systemic conditions, head and neck radiation, drug therapy, dehydration, stress and anxiety

Q

the first perio maintenance appt. after surgery should occur within

A

2-4 weeks

53
Q

what physical techniques can be used for desensitizing?

Q

what is used to inhibit demineralization and ehnace the remineralization?

A

fluoride

suppuration

56
