25
how long should you wait to evaluate a paitent after the scaling series?
2 weeks
26
What is full mouth disinfection?
scaling in 2 long appointments completed within a 24 hour period
27
what is the rationale for full mouth disinfection
perio disease are infections ridding the mouth of as many pathogens at one time can encourage healing and no reinfection
28
what are the limitations of full mouth disinfection?
- pt cant stand such intense tx - not as may opportunities for pt instruction - revaluation
29
what is preliminary partial scaling?
"inital full mouth debridement" "gross scaling"
30
what is usually used in partial scaling?
an ultrasonic
31
what are potential problems for imcomplete scaling?
``` Healing at the margin:limited access potential for abcess formation patient instruction roughened calculus patient misunderstanding ```
32
What happens to gingival tissues in gross scaling?
- tightens around tooth - tissue appears normal - probing and bleeding hasnt changed - makes instrumentation difficult
33
What is the potential for abcess formation?
predisposing factors | sequence: tissue tightens, pocket closes, microorganisms multiply abcess develops
34
What are the problems of incomplete scaling in the category of patient instruction?
- visible lesson taken away - swelling and discomfort taken away, less motivation - when you scale quads the patient cant compare them
35
What are the problems of incomplete scaling as far as roughened calculus?
calculus is roughened thus providing more areas for infection
36
What are the probems of incomplete scaling as far as patient misunderstanding?
it looks and feels good so they may not see need to return for appointments, if perio develops they may claim incomplete tx was given
37
In scaling to completion what is the segmental approach?
quad or sextant treatments and reevaluating quads each time the patient comes back for the remaining quads
38
What are factors to consider in scaling to completion?
access, deposit on tooth surface, root anatomy, patient factors (LA, n20, limited opening)
39
What do you do to prepare for instrumentation?
``` Review patients assessment record review radiographic findings review care plan and tx records patient preparation supra and sub gingival exam formulate a strategy ```
40
What factors are included in patient preparation?
premedication, preprocedural bactericial Rinse, prep for anesthesia
41
What factors are included in a suprogingival visual examination?
- gross deposits and irregularites | - dry off teeth observe calculus
42
What factors are included in a tacile supragingival examination?
- look for smooth surface | - explorer meets resistance to calc
43
what sound is heard when an explorer encounters a deposit?
scratchy or audible click
44
What factors are involved in a visual subgingival examination of the gingiva?
- spongy, red tissue over proximal calc | - dark color beneath translucent marginal gingiva
45
what factors are involved in a visual subgingival examination of calculus?
- loose resilient pocket wall deflected | - dark calc can be seen within the pocket
46
what factors are involved in a tactile subgingival exam with perio charting?
- depths recorded as a baseline | - study soft tissue attach for effective procedures
47
what factors are involved in a tactile subgingival exam with identifying shallow pockets
- scaling in pockets less than 3 mm can lead to loss of attachment - repeated use of curet when no calc is present can result in loss of attachment
48
what factors are involved in a tactile subgingival exam with determining the extent of the pockets?
use an explorer for distinction of fine hard deposits
49
what is involved in tactile subgingival exam with examining tooth topography?
detect grooves and furcations using a horizontal stroke
50
what factors are involved in a tactile subgingival exam when evaluating restorative margins?
- detect overhangs | - detect marginal irregularities
51
How do you formulate a strategy for instrumentation?
- combine clinical findings with info in chart - check tx objectives - formulate a strategy
52
WHat are the 3 prerequisites for calculus removal?
- position of clinician to prevent trauma - visibility and lighting - sharp instruments
53
What is periodontal debridement?
removal of all residual calc and toxic materials from the root to produce a clean smooth surface
54
what are the other names for periodontal debridement?
root planing, root detoxification, root preparation
55
What is the instrumentation zone?
areas where instrumentation is preformed for scaling and root planing
56
where is the instrumentation zone?
above the clinical attachment of perio fibers, extends the height and width of the deposits to be removed
57
What are the steps in systematic deposit removal?
``` 1-tooth to tooth 2-section to section of deposit 3-strokes overlap 4-instrument in instrumentation zone 5-nature of the deposit ```
58
What is the nature of a deposit?
the oldest calc is located next to the tooth and is the hardest
59
What are some special subgingival anatomy considerations?
- tooth surface pocket wall- thin or no cementum - soft tissue pocket wall- bleeding inevitable - variations in probing depths- guides insertion
60
What is instrumentation dependent on?
almost entirely on tactile sensitivity
61
what limits the freedom of movement of an instrument?
soft tissue pocket wall
62
What is the location of subgingival calc?
enamel root or both
63
how does calculus attach to the cementum?
in minute irregularities and in areas of enamel resorbtion
64
calculus is more______ than on enamel and requires a different technique for removal
tenacious
65
What forms does subgingival calc occur in?
nodules, ledge, smooth veneer, and other forms
66
What are the steps in manual subgingival scaling?
- instrument grasp - stabilization: establish finger rest - select correct cutting edge - adaptation of cutting edge - angulation - lateral pressure - activation stroke - channels of strokes - plane the root surface - evaluation
67
What do you do during an activation stroke?
- tighten grasp - maintain cutting edge evenly - control motion - overlapping strokes - stay in instrumentation zone
68
What are channels of strokes?
moving the instrument slightly laterally to ensure overlap
69
What is the purpose of the finishing techniques in root planing?
to smooth the surface to lesson the immediate recolonization of bacteria
70
Where do do plane the root surface
only where deemed necessary after exploration
71
What strokes should be used in the finishing techniques of root planing?
multidirectional, vertical then oblique, be careful with horizontal
72
How should the explorer be applied in evaluation?
vertical and diagonal strokes
