Q

Why would the prognosis for a patient that is older but with the same amount of bone loss as someone younger, be better

A

for the older person is took however long (60 years or whatever) to get that loss, while someone younger, took less, although the younger patient may have a better restorative capacity

Q

What differs in prognosis of bone loss defects

23
Q

This is nearer to the crown which results in a more favorable distribution of forces to the periodontium and less tooth mobility

A

Crest

24
Q

This is the primary etiological factor associated with periodontal disease

A

bacterial plaque

25
Q

This is critical to the success of periodontal therapy and to prognosis

A

effective removal of plaque on a daily basis by the patient

26
Q

The prognosis for patients with gingival and periodontal disease is dependent on what three things

A

the patients attitude
desire to retain natural teeth
willingness and ability to maintain good oral hygiene

27
Q

What are two options the dentist can do with a patient who is not compliant

A

refuse to accept the patient for treatment

extract the teeth with hopeless/poor prognosis and preform SRP on remaining teeth

28
Q

This affects the severity of periodontal destructions and healing potential of the periodontal tissues

A

smoking

29
Q

In smokers, prognosis of slight-moderate periodontitis is generally what

A

fair to poor

30
Q

In smokers with severe periodontitis, the prognosis may be what

A

poor to hopeless

31
Q

A smoker can do this to affect prognosis

A

cessation of smoking

32
Q

Patients with slight to moderate periodontitis, who stop smoking can be upgraded to what prognosis

A

good

33
Q

Patients with severe periodontitis who stop smoking may be upgraded to what prognosis

A

fair

34
Q

Well-controlled diabetics with slight to moderate periodontitis, who comply with their recommend periodontal treatment should have what prognosis

A

good

35
Q

This may be helpful to a patient and improve prognosis especially in patients with Parkinson’s or other systemic diseases

A

electric toothbrushes

36
Q

This is the most important local factor in periodontal disease

A

microbial challenge presented by bacterial plaque and calculus

37
Q

What are outcomes of plaque retentive features that decrease prognosis?

A

greater gingival inflammation
more marginal bone loss
poorer compliance with home care

38
Q

Prognosis is poor for teeth with what anatomical features

A
  • short tapered roots and large crowns or disproportionate crown/root ratio
  • reduced root surface available for periodontal support
  • periodontium may be more susceptible to injury by occlusal trauma
39
Q

These anatomical features can interfere with SRP and can prevent regeneration of cementum and PDL

A

cervical enamel projections CEPs
enamel pearls
bifurcation ridges

40
Q

These cannot attach to enamel, so you may have to remove enamel to expose cementum

A

gingival fibers

41
Q

This appears on the maxillary first premolars and the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary first molar which increases the attachment area and produces a shape more resistant to torquing

A

root concavities

42
Q

What are the three principal causes of tooth mobility

A

loss of alveolar bone
inflammatory changes in the PDL
trauma from occlusion

43
Q

This type of tooth mobility may be correctable

A

tooth mobility caused by inflammation and TFO

44
Q

This type of tooth mobility is likely to NOT be corrected

A

mobility due to loss of alveolar bone

45
Q

Long term prognosis for patients with plaque induced gingival diseases modified by systemic factors depends on what two things

A

control of bacterial plaque and control or correction of the systemic factors

46
Q

In drug-induced gingival enlargement this is usually necessary to correct the alterations in gingival contour

A

surgical intervention

47
Q

In slight/moderate chronic periodontits, the prognosis is generally good, provided what

A

inflammation can be controlled

48
Q

What type of prognosis does aggressive periodontitis have

A

poor

49
Q

Periodontits as a manifestation of systemic diseases can be divided into what two categories

A

those associated with hematologic disorders such a leukemia and acquired neutropenia
those associated with genetic disorders such as familial and cyclic neutropenia, down syndrome, Papillion-Lefevre, and hypophosphatasia

50
Q

Patients with periodontits has a manifestation of a systemic disease have what prognosis

A

fair to poor

51
Q

The prognosis of a patient with NUG is what

A

good

52
Q

The prognosis of a patient with repeated episodes of NUG is what

A

fair

53
Q

The prognosis of a patient with NUP depends on what

A

reducing local and secondary factors but also dealing with the systemic problem (like HIV)

54
Q

Are old patients more susceptible to perio?

A

No

55
Q

Is perio more severe in older individuals?

A

Yes
