Mucogingival Surgery Flashcards
1
Q
Define Mucogingival Surgery
A
- Surgical procedure
- correct/enhance the thickness/amount or position of mucogingival tissue
2
Q
Periodontal Plastic Surgery
A
- reshape the tissue around the teeth or implants
- prevent or correct anatomical, developmental, traumatic, or plaque-induced defects of the gingiva, alveolar mucosa, or bone
3
Q
What is gingiva?
A
- Keratinized tissue
- composed of:
- dense, collagen rich CT
- covered by keratinized epithelium
- extends from:
- free gingiva margin→mucogingival line
4
Q
What are the regions of the gingiva?
A
- Free gingiva
- depth of the sulcus
- Attached gingiva
- Width of gingiva minus PD
5
Q
What are some mucogingival deformities that affect the periodontium?
A
- Gingival Phenotype
- Gingival/soft tissue recession
- Lack of gingiva
- Decreased vestibular depth
- Aberrant frenum/muscle position
- gingival excess
- abnormal color
- condition of the exposed root surface
6
Q
Periodontal/Gingival Phenotype
A
- Thin Scalloped
- slender, triangular crown
- subtle cervical convexity
- inter proximal contacts close to incisal edge
- narrow KT
- clear thin gingiva
- thin alveolar bone
- Thick flat
- square-shaped crown
- pronounced cervical convexity
- large interproximal contact located more apically
- broad zone of KT
- thick fibrotic gingiva
- thick alveolar bone
- Thick scalloped
- thick fibrotic gingiva
- slender teeth w/narrow zone of KT
- pronounced gingival scalloping
7
Q
Define Gingival Recession
A
- apical shift of gingival margin
- based on CEJ
- associated with
- attachment loss
- exposure of root surface
8
Q
Gingival Recession Classification
A
Interdental CAL=reference
- Recession Type 1 (RT1)
- no loss of interproximal attachment
- cant detect interproximal CEJ (M or D)
- Recession Type 2 (RT2)
- loss of interproximal attachment
- ≤ buccal attachment loss
- loss of interproximal attachment
- Recession Type 3 (RT3)
- loss of interproximal attachment
- > buccal attachment loss
- loss of interproximal attachment
9
Q
Diagnostic Considerations of Gingival Recession:
A
reduce potential for complete root coverage
- Depth of recession
- Greater the depth
- Gingival Thickness:
- < 1 mm
- Interdental CAL
- Loss of interdental CAL
10
Q
Etiology of Gingival Recession
A
- Faulty toothbrushing technique
- Tooth malposition
- tooth and bone relation
- orthodontic movements
- trauma from occlusion
- frenum attachment
- mechanical trauma
- local irritants
- improper restorative procedure
- psychosomatic factors
- periodontal surgery and disease
- teeth adjacent to extractions
11
Q
How much attached gingiva is necessary to maintain gingival health?
A
- page 5
12
Q
What are the peri-implant soft tissue deficiencies?
A
- Soft tissue deficiencies
- before implant placement
- tooth loss
- perio disease
- systemic diseases
- after implant placement
- lack of buccal bone
- papilla height
- keratinized tissue
- migration of teeth and life-long skeletal changes
- before implant placement
13
Q
Gingival Augmentation: Indications
A
- tooth movement → alveolar bone dehiscence
- Stop progressive marginal tissue recession
- improve plaque control and patient comfort
- teeth and implant
- intracrevicular restoration margins
- in conjunction w/prosthodontist
- major or minor connectors or removable partials infringe on marginal mucosa
14
Q
Root Coverage: Indications
A
- reduce tooth sensitivity
- improve esthetics
- manage
- Root Caries removal defects
- cervical abrasion defects
- mucogingival defects
- dont respond to different toothbrushing technique or plaque control
15
Q
What are the different type of flaps for Pedicle Graph?
A
- Rotational Graphs: (Better outcomes)
- Laterally sliding flap
- double papilla repositioned flap
- Advanced flaps
- semi-lunar coronally positioned flap
- coronally positioned flap
