Osseous surgery: Resection- Review Flashcards
Osseous surgery may be ____ or ____
Resective or regenerative
Osseous surgery in which we are subtracting or taking away bone:
Resective procedure
Osseous surgery in which we are adding bone:
Regenerative procedure
What is the rationale behind osseous surgeries?
A reduced probing depth will both increase the effectiveness of oral hygiene by the patient and facilitate the ease of maintenance by the therapist
Indications of osseous surgery include:
- shallow infrabony defects
- osseous ledges & tori
- furcation invasions (class I or shallow class II)
- cutting multirooted teeth to be single rooted
- inconsistent margins
Contraindications of osseous surgery include:
- maxillary anteriors (esthetics)
- three-wall defects (want to regenerate these areas if possible)
- isolated deep defects
- generalized advanced bone loss
- high caries rate
- dentinal sensitivity
- local anatomic factors
- poor plaque control
Advantages of osseous surgery:
- predictable
- one-step
- single site
- minimal healing time
- ease of post-op maintenance
- improved contours for better flap adaptation
Disadvantages of osseous surgery:
- root sensitivity
- esthetics
- defect dependent
- loss of attachment (by ostectomy but usually limited)
Alternative treatments to osseous surgery:
- regenerative procedures
- root amputation or hemisection
- non-surgical therapy
- extraction
Resective surgery technique depends on:
- anatomic factors
- gingival contours
- bone thickness & contour
- dentition
Steps of resective surgery:
- bone sounding
- intrasulcular incisons
- mucoperiosteal flap resection
- root & defect debridement
What are some differinf techniques involved in resection:
- vertical interproximal grooving
- reduction of marginal radicular bone
- elimination of lips of craters
- removal of “widows peaks”
- removal of marginal radicular bone
With closure during resection, the tissue placement can be done at the ____ or ____
AT THE alveolar crest or CORONAL to the alveolar crest
If the soft tissue is placed AT the alveolar crest during closure:
pocket elimination
If the soft tissue is placed CORONAL to the alveolar crest during closure:
pocket reduction
Between the palatal and lingual approach of osseous surgery, the ____ approach is more common
Palatal
The palatal approach of osseous surgery is used for:
maxillary surgery
The palatal approach of osseous surgery is used for maxillary surgery due to:
- furcations more apical
- wider embrasures
- defects commonly seen on palatal
- more cancellous bone
- all keratized tissue
- one root in palatal (vs two on buccal)
The lingual approach of osseous surgery is used for:
mandibular surgery
The lingual approach of osseous surgery is used for mandibular surgery due to:
- furcations more apical
- wider embrasures
- defects commonly seen on lingual
- axial inclination of molars
- avoids external oblique ridge
