13
Q

Why might biofilm and calculus get trapped at the CEJ?

A

due to it being a transition zone with increased roughness- especially in cases where the CEJ is exposed due to recessed gingiva

Q

T/F: Single rooted teeth are better for BOTH non-surgical modalities than molars

A

true

This card is saying that when comparing single rooted teeth (incisors, canines, etc) to molars, it does not matter whether therapy is OFD or SRP, it will respond better due to it only having one root

Q

What is the gold standard of periodontal therapy?

A

regeneration

22
Q

Reconstitution of a lost or missing part:

A

regeneration

23
Q

In periodontics, regeneration refers to:

A
  1. new PDL
  2. new cementum
  3. new bone
24
Q

Types of regeneration modalities include:

A
  1. autograft
  2. allograft
  3. alloplast
  4. xenograft
25
Q

Regeneration modality in which the tissue is coming directly from the same patient:

A

autograft

26
Q

Regeneration modality in which the tissue is coming from the same species:

A

allograft

27
Q

Regeneration modality in which the tissue is synthetic:

A

alloplast

28
Q

Regerenation modality in which the tissue is coming from a different species (example pig, calf, or cow)

A

xenograft

29
Q

Addition of non-resorb able or reservable membrane between bone and tissue- used to exclude epithelium and CT from surgical site:

A

Guided tissue regeneration (GTR)

30
Q

What is the goal of the membrane placed in GTR?

A

to exclude epithelial cells and allow bone and PDL cells into the area (do not want epithelium that grows at a faster rate than CT to fill in instead)

31
Q

GTR is most effective with:

A

grade II furcation involvement

32
Q

Osseous contouring with placement of the flap margin at the alveolar crest:

A

pocket elimination

33
Q

When performing pocket elimination surgery, where is the flap placed?

A

at alveolar crest

34
Q

What are the functions of placing the flap margin at the alveolar crest during pocket elimination surgery?

A
  1. creation of shallow sulk
  2. provides ease of maintenance by therapist and patient
35
Q

In what form of periodontitis is characterized by bacterial penetration?

A

aggressive periodontitis

36
Q

Localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) & Generalized juvenile periodontitis (GJP) was renamed to ___ in 2017

A

periodontitis

37
Q

What is the causative pathogen seen in aggressive periodontitis?

A

aggregatibacter actinomycetecomitans (A.a)

38
Q

Osseous contouring with placement of flap margin at alveolar crest for creation of shallow sulci as well as ease of maintenance by therapist and patient:

A

Pocket elimination

39
Q

Addition of non-resorbable or restorable membrane between bone and tissue, with the goal of excluding epithelial cells and allowing bone and PDL cells to grow into that area (do not want epithelium that grows at a faster rate than CT to fill in instead)

A

Guided tissue regeneration (GTR)

40
Q

Where is the membrane placed during GTR?

A

between bone and tissue

41
Q

Performed in order to regain periodontium, remove frena, increase root coverage, or increase keratinized tissue, restore gingival topography, or for pre-prosthetics and pre-orthodontic reasons:

A

mucogingival surgery/periodontal plastic surgery

42
Q

List the reasons for performing mucogingival surgery/periodontal plastic surgery:

A
  1. regain periodontium
  2. remove frena
  3. increase root coverage or keratizined tissue
  4. restore gingival topography
  5. pre-prosthetic or pre-orthodontic reasons
43
Q

Occurs when non-surgical therapy has failed AND surgical therapy has failed so new techniques or material are attempted:

A

Retreatment of case

44
Q

List some examples of pre-prosthetic surgery:

A
  1. crown lengthening
  2. bone augmentation
  3. palatal recontouring
  4. gingivectomy/gingivoplast
  5. ridge or tuberosity reduction
45
Q

Hardest to accomplish HEIGHT and should NOT use free gingival graft that is formally positioned

A

bone augmentation

46
Q

Drugs that cause gingival overgrowth include:

A
  1. DIlantin/Phenytoin (anti-seizure)
  2. Cyclosporine/Sandimmune (immunosupressant)
  3. Procardia/Nifedipine (calcium channel blocker)
47
Q

Classes of drugs that can cause gingival overgrowth include:

A
  1. anti-convulsant meds
  2. immunosuppressents
  3. calcium channel blockers
48
Q

Your patient comes in and has multiple periodontal abscesses, what must you consider?

A

diabetes

49
Q

When can you safely and effectively place implants in a periodontitis patient?

A

Implants are NOT indicated until periodontal disease has been controlled and ALL other dental needs are addressed in a comprehensive treatment plan
