lecture 3 Flashcards
connective tissue in the attachment apparatus attaches to what ?
cementum, bone and gingiva, supra crestal
in health, hemidesmosomes attach to what
enamel
what must happen in order for it to be a true pocket?
probe must extend beyond the CEJ
two types true pockets
suprabony and infrabony
types of suprabony true pockets
gingival and periodontal
types of infrabony true pockets
3,2,1 wall osseous defects or a combination
if JE extends to below the bone what kind of periodontitis is it?
infrabony- mod-severe
does gingival soft tissue conform to underlying ossesous typography?
no
which type of infrabony defect has the best prognosis
3 wall defect
what is something you should check for when dealing with infrabony defects?
mobilty of the tooth- hard to fix if tooth is mobile
what is reverse architecture?
where bone on buccal and lingual are higher than the bone in the interproximal areas.- more prone to plaque build up, its a factor in production of periodontal disease
classifications of bone contour in periodontal disease- 4 kinds
unaffected, resorbed but regular in contour, irregular bony contour, osseous defect formation
what is bone sounding?
probing in vertical and horizontal manors in order to find where the bone is, and how deep the pocket is
pattern of bone resorption depends on what?
thickness and quality of bone, pathway of inflammation, vascular network from gingival inflammatory lesion into the underlying alveolar process
if bone was thin, in what direction would bone loss be?
vertical
are infrabony defects more contained at the base or coronally?
at the base
