Q

What is a bifurcation ridge

A

Developmental ridge that runs in buccolingual direction

Intermediate bifurcation ridge in mesiodistal direction made up of primarily cementum. Extra ridge in roof of furcation makes it harder to clean, increased risk of breakdown

Q

Survival rate of resected molars

A

93% after 10 year observation with good OH carnevale et al 1998

96.8% cumulatively fugazzatto 2001, comparable with 97% for implants in molar position (inclusive of non perio related implants; 92% in perio patients)

Q

What is furcation tunneling

A

Resect bone to widen furcation to make it accessible for oral hygiene procedure

17
Q

Furcation tunneling can only be done for

A

Lower molars. First lower molars better because second molar roots are more convergent

18
Q

Tooth loss % for tunneled molars

A

29.4%, significantly associated with irregular periodontal maintenance and age

19
Q

What is the benefit of open debridement

A

Surgical procedure, move gums away from bone and teeth. Open debridement higher chance of cleaning root swell and rendering roots calculus free

20
Q

Why should endo treatment be done before regenerative surgery

A

Remove a source of infection

21
Q

Root resection preferred if root involved is

Max molar

A

DB root

22
Q

Mean survival time for molars with grade iiI furcation

A

11.8 years

23
Q

Mean survival time for molars with >60% bone loss

A

14.4 years

24
Q

What is the objective of conservative treatment of furcation involved teeth

A

LA Scrp, access flap surgeries, tunnel preparation

Objective is to remove residual bacteria, improve self performed plaque control

25
Q

Objective of regenerative treatment to treat furcation involved teeth

A

Eliminate furcation defect

26
Q

Objective of resective surgery

A

Eliminate inter radicular lesion. Open up furcation easily, create area for easier plaque removal

27
Q

Why are ultrasonics preferred to clean furcation

A

Narrower tip with different angulation, better for debriding hard to reach areas

Faster, able to significantly reduce bacteria count

28
Q

Waterpik vs sonic air floss

A

Waterpik better clinical and histologically reduction in gingival inflammation

29
Q

Furcation tunneling is only done for

A

Lower molars

First lower molars better because second molars roots more convergent

Stable (mob 1,2) with deep II or III furcation involvement

30
Q

Tooth loss for tunneled molars

A

29.4%, significantly associated with irregular periodontal maintenance and age

31
Q

Horizontal probing attachment level gains and bone level gains for guided tissue regeneration

A

Attachment level gains: 0.75 to 4.1mm

Bone level gains: 0.2 to 4.5mm

32
Q

Guided issue regeneration good for which class of defects

A

Class II

33
Q

Success of gtr dependent on

A

Defect size (vertical defect≤4mm more favourable for closure)
Proximal bone to level of furcation
Thickness of gingiva (>1mm more favourable)
Ability to clean properly
Smoking, diabetes
Root convergence

34
Q

Treatment choice for furcation I, II, III

A

I: closed debridement, furcation plasty, odontoplasty

II: furcation plasty, tunnel prep, root resection, GTR

III: tunnel prep, root resection, tooth extraction

35
Q

Which root in max molar has greatest surface area

A

Palatal root
