Mucogingival Surgery Parts 5 and 6 Flashcards
is it possible to maintain periodontal health without keratinized gingiva
yes
all surfaces with less than ____ of keratinized gingiva exhibit clinical inflammation even in the absence of plaque
2mm
when a _____ band of keratinized gingiva is present, sites with a _____ phenotype have a greater tendency to progress
narrow; thinner
what is looked at in mucogingival deformities and conditions
- periodontal phenotype
- gingival/soft tissue recession
- lack of keratinized gingiva
- decreased vestibular depth
- aberrant frenum/muscle position
- gingival excess
- abnormal color
what are the types of periodontal phenotype
- thin scalloped
- thick scalloped
- thick flat
what is the etiology of periodontal phenotype
tooth position
what is gingival recession
the apical migration of the gingival margin with concomitant exposure of the root surface
gingival recession affects a large population ____ of oral hygiene
irrespective
what is the estimated prevalence of gingival recession
- 54.5% of young adults
- 100% of middle aged elderly adults suffer from gingival recessions with an average prevalence of 78.6%
what are the categories of gingival excess
- pseudo pocket
- inconsistent gingival margin
- excessive gingival display
- gingival enlargement
what are the most common mucogingival defects in daily practice
- gingival recessions
- inadequate zone of keratinized gingiva
what are the predisposing factors to mucogingival deformities
- periodontal phenotype and attached gingiva
- the impact of tooth brushing
- the impact of cervical restorative margins
- the impact of orthodontics
- other conditions
what are the diagnostic considerations for recession
- recession depth and gingival thickness
- modern recession classification
what is recession type 1 (RT)
gingival recession with no loss of interproximal attachment. interproximal CEJ was not detected either on the mesial or distal aspect of the tooth
what is recession type 2
gingival recession associated with loss of interproximal attachment
- the amount of interproximal attachment loss was less or equal to the buccal attachment loss
