Q

What is better for retention of teeth: crowding or normally spaced teeth?

Q

What is dilaceration?

A

Abnormal angulation or bend in the root (and occasionally the crown) of a tooth

  • Some related to trauma during odontogenesis
  • idiopathic
24
Q

Is dilaceration good or bad for retention of teeth?

A

GOOD
- bad if you need to root canal or extract

25
Q

What are local factors to look for when doing a radiographic examination for periodontal disease?

A
  • restorations
  • calculus
  • tilted rotated teeth (ie, uneven marginal ridges)
26
Q

You can see radiographic calculus best with ______ densities

A

bright

27
Q

What are the radiographic changes to notice in periodontal disease?

A
  1. Horizontal Bone Loss
  2. Vertical Bone Loss
  3. Furcation Involvement
  4. Large crown:root Ratio
28
Q

What is the definition of horizontal bone loss?

A

Even/uniform apical movement of the alveolar crestal bone height along adjacent root surfaces between affected tooth/teeth

29
Q

The alveolar crest establishes itself apical to the…

A

CEJ
- where the follicular sac attaches

30
Q

physiologic bone height is <_____ mm from CEJs

A

2.0

31
Q

What does the anterior alveolar bone look like in health?

A
  • pointed, corticated crest
32
Q

How long should the red line be?

A

2.0 mm

33
Q

20%

35
Q

Moderate bone loss – evidence of ~_________% bone loss

A

20% up to 50%

36
Q

Advanced bone loss – evidence of ___% or more of bone loss; evidence of vertical defects

A

50%

37
Q

What is incipient bone loss?

A
  • blunted, non-corticated crest
  • bone level is apical to physiologic height
  • <1.0 – 2.0mm, but less than 20%
38
Q

What is moderate bone loss?

A
  • blunted, non-corticated crest
  • prominent loss of alveolar bone height; ~20-50%
39
Q

What is advanced (severe) bone loss?

A
  • blunted, non-corticated crest
  • prominent loss of alveolar bone height; evidence of 50% or more of bone loss; evidence of vertical defects
  • crown:root ratio > 1:2

46
Q
A

Loss of cortication
Loss of bone height

47
Q

What is vertical bone loss?

A

Angular bone loss along a root that more severely involves the affected tooth/teeth than the adjacent teeth

48
Q
A

Vertical Bone Defects

49
Q
A

Red - vertical bone loss
Blue - horizontal bone loss

50
Q
A

51
Q
A

Furcation with VBL

52
Q

What do you look for when doing a radiographic examination of furcation defects?

A
  • Loss of bone in the furcation area of a multirooted tooth
  • Can occur with HBL and VBL
53
Q

What is the crown:root ratio?

A
  • An index expressed as a ratio that gives an indication of a tooth’s prognosis
54
Q

A crown:root ratio of more than ____ has a poor prognosis

A

1:2

(2:1 is bad)
(1:3 is even better than 1:2)

55
Q

What are the limitations of radiographic examinations for periodontal disease?

A
  • Accuracy: 40 - 50% demineralization necessary for radiographic changes
  • 2-D Infra-bony defects difficult to observe
  • Soft-tissue Changes edema, color, plaque
  • No Information on relationship of soft tissue to hard tissue
  • Difficult to assess disease on B and Li bone plates adjacent B and Li tooth surfaces
  • Mobility
56
Q

________% demineralization necessary for radiographic changes

A

40 - 50

57
Q

What are the treatments for periodontal disease?

A
  • Plaque control

    ––– systemic
  • Professional Cleaning (scaling, root planning, curretage)
  • Surgical techniques to re-establish physiologic contours
