Disadvantages of Non-Surgical
Therapy
(4)
- Depth of pockets-determines efficiency
- Loss of connective tissue by scaling
and root planing in healthy sites - Thin versus thick tissue
- Instrumentation of furcations
- Instrumentation of furcations
(2)
- Size of instruments
- Size of furcation entrances
Endpoint of Scaling and Root
Planing
Eliminate inflammation, bleeding on
probing, suppuration, disease
progression
Endpoint of Scaling and Root
Planing
Final goal of a
functional,
comfortable, healthy dentition
with stable probing attachment
levels
Indications for Surgery
* Root and Defect Access
(4)
- Plaque and calculus removal (non-
surgical more difficult to accomplish
in deeper pockets) - Difficulty for furcation instrumentation
without surgical access - Granulation tissue removal
- Access to osseous defects
Indications for Surgery
The ‘gold’ standard
- Regeneration
- Regeneration
Definition:
Reconstitution of a lost or missing
part
- Regeneration
In Periodontics
(3)
- new periodontal ligament
- new cementum
- new bone
Indications for Surgery
* Regeneration
(4)
- Autografts
- Allografts
- Alloplasts/Xenografts
- Guided Tissue Regeneration
- Guided Tissue Regeneration
membranes (2)
- Non-resorbable vs resorbable
membranes
