Implant Success or Failure Clinical Assessment Flashcards
often used for evaluation of implant success
periodontal indices
criteria to determine implant success
- pain
- rigid fixation
- probing depth
- bone loss
- bleeding index
- peri-implant disease
- percussion
- radiographic evaluation
forces where pain should be absent for implant success
vertical and horizontal forces
implant is almost never temperature sensitive but can become tender from ______________
percussion
T or F: implant tenderness indicates failed treatments
F; may have success
indicates an absence of clinical mobility of an implant under 1 to 500g vertical or horizontal forces
rigid fixation
implants with this horizontal movement may return to rigid fixation and zero mobility
less than 0.5 mm horizontal movement
computer-mechanical device that measures he damping effect against an object
periotest
pocket probing depth of stable rigid fixated implants
2-6mm
implant sulcus measurements that favors loss of bone
6mm or more
uses fixed reference points on the abutment; allows evaluation of crestal bone loss
probing
other factors revealed by probing besides crestal bone loss
- tissue consistency
- bleeding
- exudate
used in probing to prevent scratching implant surface
plastic probes
level of ________ around an endosteal implant should be compared to the initial placement position of the implant
crestal bone
may evaluate bone loss more accurately than radiograph
probing depth
(bone loss) implant is at significant risk when…
more than 1/3 of the implant height has lost crestal bony contact
most commonly used bleeding index for implants
Loe and Silness gingival index (GI)
indicated for sulcus depth of less than 5mm and increased bleeding index
chlorhexidine
