25
What percentage of radiographs shows visible calculus detection?
only 45%
26
What are the anticalculus agents?
Pyrophosphates
27
What are pyrophospathes?
* inhibits hydropaptite growth * Supragingival calculus * Do not eliminate existing cal * useful for pt who builf up cal and on chlorhexidine
28
What are the classification and category for anatomic contributing factors?
Other conditons affecting the periodontium: periodontal manifestations of systemic disease and developmetnal and acquired conditions Catergory: Tooth and prosthesis-related factors
29
What is tooth anantomic factors?
varitations in normal bone structure: * non pathologic * Relevant when affected by periodontal disease * Can alter prognosis
30
What are some examples of tooth anatomic factors?
Fenestrations Dehisences Root Proximity
31
What is dehiscence ?
Window - root is denuded and covered only by periosteum and gingiva, marginal bone is intact
32
What is dehiscence?
* Denuded area extends trhough the marginal bone * Labial inclination | More like triangle
33
What is root proximity ?
* Poor alignment of teeth in arch | excessive rooth divergence of multirooted teeth
34
What is cervical enamel projection?
* Extension of enamel from CEJ apically to entrance of furcation * Allow for increased biofilm accumulation * Can predipose to furcation involvement *Treatment directed by periodontal treatment required for affected tooth
35
For cervical enamel projections what are the highest incidences?
Buccal aspect mandibular second molar
36
What is the percentage for cervical enamel projection isolated furcation involvements associated with CEPS?
90%
37
What is enamel pearls?
* Clump of enamel located in furcation area apical to CEJ * Often in bifurcation of molars * Mistaken for calculus * May be removed as part of therapy
38
What is root anatomy palatogingival groove?
* Can lead to periodontal pockets * 5-8% of maxillary incisors * Starts at cingulum and extends apically for variable distance * Shallow or deep invagination * Extends on root 50% of the time
39
What is done to remove the palatogingival groove?
Odontoplasty
40
What are cemental tears?
* Piece of detached cementum/with dentin * Attached to PDL * Leads to rapid periodontal bone loss and vertical bony defect * Treatment involves debridement and removal of fragments
41
What are cemental tears induced by?
Trauma
42
What are accessory canals?
* Provide a communication between pulp and PDL * Pulp necrosis can contribute to defect * 20-50% of molars * Isolated periodontal lesions one endodontically treated teeth should be evaluated for accessory canals
43
What does exodontics affects?
* Affects adjecent teeth if soft tissue and bone are damaged * Remnant calculus can negate healing and foster biofilm accumulation
44
What are overhanging restorations?
* Biofilm retentive are * Difficult access * Increase in flammation * Caries, bone and attachment loss
45
What does overhangs alter?
* The composition of subgingival flora * Periodontitis flora increase * More attachment loss
46
Can early removal reverses gingival condition and helps prevent attachment loss?
Yes
47
Crown Contours and margins helps with?
biofilm formation enhanced by subgingival restorations: surface roughness, marginal fit and contour
48
What does rough margins do?
* Promtoes biofilm growth * difficult to remove
49
What does margin location cause?
* crown margin closer than 2mm to bone = in bone resorption * bad fit= dull bule or deep red halo * perisiten bleeding or discomfort * Can lead to recession over time
50
What type of crown contours are more compatible with periodontal health?
Flat- because excessive buldge accumulates biofilm and promotes inflammation.
51
Cement can initiate what?
Inflammation
52
What are pontic forms?
* Contours and embrasures should be properly designed so patients can cleanse * Forms that cannot be cleaned should not be used
53
What are removable partial dentures at risk for?
* Supragingival calculus * Abutment teeth susceptinle to caries and periodontal associated problems
54
Restorative Materials are?
* Compatible with gingival tissue * Assocaited with Gingival inflammation
55
What does open contacts do?
causes food impaction taht leads to inflammation, bone loss and attachment loss
56
What are the predisposing factors for food impaction?
* wider/open interproximal contacts * Uneven marginal ridge relations * small contact more likely than wide open contact
57
What does untreated tooth decay do?
* Results in defects in tooth structure * Biofilm retentive factors
58
What does orthodontics appliances causes?
* Brackets, bands and wires are associated with biofilm accumulation, gingivitis and caries * Elastics embedded in sulcus cause periodontal issues * oral hygiene stressed
59
What does malocclusion cause?
Causes: biofil accummulation limits access for oral hygiene care
60
Unreplaced missing teeth does not ?
initiate periodontal disease
61
What does mouth breathing cause?
* confined to labial gingiva of maxillary teeth * increase susceptibility to localized inflammation * deydration of tissues * Red, swollen, shiny * Gingiival enlargement, (may not resolve) * Required excellent biofilm control
62
Toothbrushing trauma can cause?
* destruction of attached gingiva * abrade epithelium * Cause ulcerations * excessive recession and rooth exposure * result in extensive grooving of the root * biofilm traps and cleaning problems
63
What does Floss trauma Create?
* Flossing clefts * Grooves into tooth
64
What does oral piercing cause?
Dental and periodontal injuries lips: anterior facial Tongue: mandibular anterior lingual
65
Self inflicted injuries can cause?
1. Gouging or scratching gingiva with fingernails 2. Fingernail fragment 3. Toothpicks 4. Often results in extensive exposure of root surface
66
What are chemical injury?
* Topically applied products that causes ulcerations * interferes with biofilm control and contribute to periodontal inflammation: alcohol burn and aspirin burn
67
What is rubbing alcohol burn?
* local anesthetic * mild burn * heals 2-4 days
