Exam 3 - Non-surgical Therapy Flashcards
What measurement identifies how much dental plaque (undisturbed oral biofilm) we accumulate per day?
82 to 200 um/day
If the effect of chlorhexidine was tested on undisturbed dental plaque following 1 min of exposure, what time period showed the most significant effect?
6 hr plaque.
- the effect of CHX on 24 and 48 hr place was limited to the outer layer. Middle and inner layers were not appreciably affected.
After SRP, what was the mean reduction in probing depth for the following probing depths
PD 7mm
What about mean gain in CAL?
PD 0.03 mm
PD 4-6 mm –> 1.29 mm
PD >7mm –> 2.16 mm
CAL:
PD -0.34 mm
PD 4-6mm –> 0.55 mm
PD >7mm –> 1.19 mm
List the instruments in order of their mean distance from the instrument limit to maximum pocket depth.
Gracy Curette (1.25 mm) Traditional Ultrasonic (1.13 mm) Ultrasonic Perio Insert (0.78 mm)
List the problems of restricted access
Probing depth Furcations Root proximity Root flutings CEJ relationships Restorations
Clinical protocol for non-surgical therapy
- OHI
- Electric power toothbrush
- Interproximal cleaning (flows, waterpik)
- Rinse with CHX twice daily
- SRP with local anesthesia
- Low Dose Doxycycline (periostat)
Smokers - Re-evaluation at 4-6 weeks post-SRP
- Retreat residual sites of >5mm (SRP or Site-specific drug delivery)
- If desired response is not achieved then consider surgical treatment
Low Dose Doxycycline was originally marketed as what?
Periostat
Name the dosage for Periostat
20 mg, #180 tabs, q. 12 h.
Describe the reasoning for 20 mg of dosage per tablet of Doxycycline
There is no bacterial effect at this dosage. However, doxycycline (like all tetracycline family) chelate calcium and other metals such as Zn and Mg. Therefore, the tetracycline drugs have the ability to inactivate matrix metalloproteinase - specifically the collagenases and gelatinizes produced by PMNs and macrophages
Where would you perform SRP + Local delivery of antimicrobial
- Pockets of > or = 5mm
- Maintenance patients with isolated PD of 5-6 mm
- Early stage periodontal abscess
- PD at the distal-facial line-angle of 2nd molars related to 3rd molar extractions
- Ailing implants (peri-implantitis)
- Furcations
3 locally delivered antimicrobials that are commercially available?
- Periochip
- Atradox
- Arestin
Describe Periochip
Chlorhexidine gluconate in a polymerized polylactic acid disc
Describe Atradox
Doxycycline in a poly-lactide gel that polymerizes on contact with water
Describe Arestin
1 mg of minocycline micro encapsulated in a poly-glycolide-co-lactide dry powder
To be effective, a locally delivered antimicrobial must do what 5 things?
- Kill or inhibit the appropriate target microbes
- Reach the disease site
- Achieve adequate concentration for effectiveness
- Achieve appropriate duration of effect
- Have few side effects and/or cause no harm to the patient
What microbes are susceptible to minocycline at concentrations of 2-8 ug/ml
Porphyromonas gingivalis Prevotella intermedia Fusobacterium nucleatum Eikenella corrodens Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
