Indications for Surgery Flashcards
List the goals of non-surgical therapy: (5)
- removal of plaque and calculus
- microflora alteration
- endotoxin removal
- “smooth” surface
- tissue shrinkage
For a periodontal pocket of the following measurements, give the efficiency of SRP and OFD:
a) 1-3 mm
b) 4-6 mm
c) >6mm
a) SRP= 86% OFD= 86%
b) SRP= 43% OFD= 76%
c) SRP= 32% OFD= 50%
In pockets that are greater than 5mm, there is a ___% chance that residual calculus and biofilm is left.
85%
Where is most residual calculus and biofilm left in deep pockets?
CEJ & line angles
List the disadvantages of nonsurgical therapy: (4)
- depth of pocket determines efficiency
- loss of connective tissue by SRP in healthy healthy sites
- thin vs. thick tissue
- instrumentation of furcations
What are the two concerns with instrumentation of furcations with non-surgical therapy? (2)
- size of instruments
- size of furcation entrances
What is the END POINT of SRP?
Eliminate inflammation, bleeding on probing, suppuration, and disease progression
What is the FINAL GOAL of SRP?
Final goal of a functional, comfortable, healthy dentition with stable probing attachment levels
List the 9 indications for periodontal surgery:
- Root and defect access
- Regeneration
- Pocket elimination
- Removal of bacteria
- Mucogingival surgery/ Periodontal plastic surgery
- Retreatment of case
- Pre-prosthetic surgery
- Drug-induced gingival overgrowth
- Abscess debridement
T/F: In terms of root and defect access, plaque and calculus removal by non-surgical means is more difficult to accomplish in deeper pockets
True
With root and defect access, it is difficult for ____ without surgical access
furcation instrumentation
In terms of root and defect access, surgical therapy allows for: (2)
- granulation tissue removal
- access to osseous defects
The gold standard periodontal surgery:
regeneration
What is regeneration?
reconstitution of a lost or missing part
In periodontics, what are the 3 components of regeneration?
- new PDL
- new cementum
- new bone
What are the types of regeneration in periodontal surgery?
- autografts
- allografts
- allowlists/xenografts
- guided tissues regeration
T/F: Not every person is susceptible to periodontal disease due to risk factors and genetics
true
What are the two factors that determine if a person is susceptible to periodonta disease?
- risk factors
- genetics
Following SRP, most calculus is left at:
CEJ & line angle
