Q

What are the average openings of the furcation entrances and why is this important?

A

Bower ‘79:
81% of furcations is ≤1mm wide
58% is ≤ 0.75 mm wide
This means curettes can’t easily access furcations

Q

How do you classify root trunk lengths?

A

Ochsenbein ‘86:
Short: Type A
Medium: Type B
Long: Type C
Maxillary molar: 3 / 4 / 5mm is Type A / B/ C
Mandibular molar: 2 / 3 / 4 mm is Type A / B / C
Maxillary molars typically have longer root trunks than Mandibular ones.

A

Mandelaris ‘98:
Mandibular molars (Lingual / buccal): 4.1, 3.1
Buccal is shallower than the lingual for the mandibular molars.

Q

How common are accessory canals in molars? What about for all teeth in general? HE ATE TOO MUCH!

A

Gutmann ‘78: looked at extracted molars
28.4% - average prevalence of accessory canals in all molars
29.4% - mandibular molars
27.4% - maxillary molars

De Deus ‘75: For all extracted teeth : 27.4% prevalence of accessory canals.

Q

What are the predisposing factors for cemental tears? What are the signs?

A

Lin ‘11:
* Type of tooth (more common in incisors)
* Older men > 60 years of age

Signs of cemental tears: Radiographic appearance, abscess formation, deep PD >6mm, presence of heavy attrition. Tooth is usually vital.

Q

Do open contacts cause gum disease? How are open contacts classified?

A

**A plunger cusp and food impaction **need to be present in an open contact to cause periodontal disease.
Hancock ‘80 Open contacts themselves do not cause gum disease. However, food impaction is associated with deep PD.
Classification of open contacts:
1. Tight: Floss definitely is resisted
2. Loose: Floss is minimally resisted
3. Open: Floss has no resistance
Jernberg ‘83: Open contacts had less debris and about 0.5 mm more CAL loss.

17
Q

Does tooth mal-alignment cause periodontal disease? ARMY PEOPLE ON AN ISLAND OF CANADIAN WEST COAST

A

Ainamo ‘72: Army recruits. More tooth misalignment = higher GI, PI, CAL loss.
Ingervall ‘77 Dental student study. No significant correlation between malalignment and periodontal disease. (However, these were dental students and probably had good hygiene)

18
Q

What studies looked at root proximity and periodontal disease?

A

Tal ‘84: 2.6 mm - distance greater than this led to intrabony defect formation (up to 57%). However, less than 2.6 mm between teeth led to a lesser freq of IBD (up to 20%)
Vermylen ‘05: Root proximity increases the risk of periodontal disease.
* At least 1 space with proximity: OR 2.1
* At least 2 spaces with proximity: OR 3.6
* 5+ spaces with proximity: OR 6.5
Severity levels according to Vermylen:
- Sev. 1: 0.5-0.8 –> Cancellous bone present
- Sev. 2: 0.3-0.5 –> Fused LD
- Sev. 3: < 0.3 –> only PDL

19
Q

What 3 studies classified the root proximity?

A

Heins & Wieder ‘86
>0.5 mm : cancellous bone present
0.3 - 0.5 mm: only lamina dura present
<0.3 mm: only PDL present
Vermylen ‘05
Same as above, but used >0.8 instead of >0.5 probably just to publish it
Ercoli & Caton ‘18
Same as Vermylen

Q

Describe the Kugelberg retrospective study on 3rd molars and how age affects the post-extraction PD.

A

Kugelberg ‘90
The % of sites with PD >7mm was related to the age.
≤25 years old: 25% had PD >7mm
>25 years old: 52% had PD >7mm
Older age basically doubles the risk of having deep PD after 3rd molar extraction.

21
Q

Why do we graft the intrabony defects distal to 2nd molars (7 mm PD) after the 3rd molar removal? Name the study.

A

Sammartino ‘09: 6 year study that proved that GTR with BioOss (with or without membrane) significantly improved the PD and CAL gain, and prevented future periodontal disease in the site.
6 year residual PD:
No GTR: 6.4
BioOss only: 3.88
BioOss + membrane: 3.15

22
Q

Does retention of hopeless teeth affect the adjacent teeth? Describe the studies

A

It is ok as long as the patient does regular maintenance.
Machtei ‘89: Negative effect without maintenance.
Machtei & Hirsch ‘07: Neutral effect with maintenance.
DeVore ‘88: Neutral effect with maintenance.

23
Q

Do subgingival margins cause periodontal disease?

A

Stetler & Bissada ‘87: Yes, subgingival crowns had higher GI, PI, inflammation
Newcomb ‘74: Yes, the closer the crown margin was to the deepest part of the sulcus, the greater the gingival inflammation (Strong -ve correlation betw ging. inflammation and dist. from margin to crevice base)

24
Q

How do overhanging restorations affect the gum disease?

A

Jeffcoat & Howell ‘80: Medium and large overhangs caused more alveolar bone loss (compared to small and no overhangs)
