MucoGing Defects/Perio Surgery! (E2,L3) Flashcards
________: surgical procedures performed to correct or eliminate anatomic, developmental, or traumatic deformities of the gingiva or alveolar mucosa.
Mucogingival Surgery (Periodontal Plastic Surgery)
Why isn’t the “pushback” surgery method no longer used?
It resulted in more recession and bone loss. It is also not aesthetic.
How much keratinized and attached gingiva is enough? ___ mm keratinized and ___ mm attached for prosthetic abutments
5mm ker….3mm attach (talking about distance from GM to MGJ)
How much keratinized and attached gingiva is enough? At least __ mm attached-keratinized mucosa is necessary for maintaining health
2mm (talking about distance from GM to MGJ)
The Etiology of Gingival Recession: Tooth position relative to facial or lingual cortical bone may result in bony ________ or ________.
fenestration or dehiscence
The Etiology of Gingival Recession: ______ for thin gingiva (lack of tissue thickness) when combined with a bony dehiscence or fenestration is likely to result in gingival recession.
BIOTYPE
Etiology of Recession: Orthodontic arch expansion and/or movement of tooth through facial ________.
cortical bone
Diagnosis of Recession Problems: What is the formula for finding the amount of ATTACHED GINGIVA?
Width of Keratinized Tissue - Probing Depth = Attached Gingiva (freakin straight forward, eh!?)
How can I clinically determine the MGJ? Be Aware: keratinized tissue is not always _______!
Slide the Probe on the tissue until the tissue don’t move no more…..not always attached!
Drop some knowledge: ___% of teeth with LESS THAN 2mm of Keratinized attached tissue will have FURTHER recession.
90 freggin %
Treating gingival defects for increasing width of keratinized and attached gingiva is more of a ______ where as treating for root coverage is more of a ______.
need….Want
BOOM. What are the 3 Treatment Options for increasing the width of Attached Gingiva?
- Apically Positioned Flap (APF)-full thickness flap. 2.Free autogenous Gingival Graft (FGG) 3.subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft (CTG)
BOOM. What are the 3 Treatment Options for obtaining Root Coverage???
- sub epithelial Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) 2.Semi-lunar incision + coronal positioning (Tarnow procedure) 3.Lateral Pedicle Flap (LPF)
