Q

Natural vs. Synthetic toothbrush bristles

A

Natural bristles = contain gaps that bacteria can colonize; don’t have rounded ends, which can cause lesions to the gingiva.

Synthetic bristles = have end-round filaments that reduce the damage to gingiva.

The removal of cementum & surface dentin that’s impregnated w/calculus.

Objective= produce a smooth, hard, clean surface.

A

Root planing

No

80
Q

For pocket depths >5mm, what is the success in total removal of calculus?

A

Failure of total removal of calculus dominates

81
Q

What are the side effects of SRPs?

A

Increases sensitivity to air, tactile, and thermal stimuli

(It exposed the dentinal tubules, which exposes the dentin to irritants that can cause pain)

82
Q

A

4-6 weeks

83
Q

Healing after SRPs:

What happens immediately after (2-8 hrs) root planing?

84
Q

Healing after SRPs:

8-24 hours after, what is the clinical appearance?

A

Gingiva appears hemorrhagic & bright red

85
Q

Healing after SRPs:

2-7 days after what occurs?

A
  1. Restoration & epithelialization of the sulcus (note, this is keratinized epithelium).
  2. Reduction in the height of the gingival margin.
  3. Gingiva is slightly redder than normal, but less so than the previous days.
86
Q

Healing after SRPs:

After 2 weeks:

A
  1. Gingiva regains normal color, consistency, surface texture, and contour
  2. Gingival margin is well adapted to the tooth
  3. Appearance of immature collagen
87
Q

Healing from SRPs results in the formation of what?

A

Long junctional epithelium

(sometimes the long JE is interrupted by islands of CT attachment)

88
Q

Antiseptic mouthwash that kills germs & destroys their protective coverings; can be used to prevent plaque; can be used prior to using a Cavitron

A

Chlorhexidine/Peridex

89
Q

Side effects of Chlorhexidine/Peridex

A

Increased calculus formation
Staining
Altered taste

90
Q

Chlorhexidine/Peridex works due to

A

Substantivity (it remains on the pellicle & works for an extended period of time)

91
Q

When is periodontal surgical intervention indicated after SRPs?

A
  1. Consistently acceptable levels of oral hygiene
  2. A number of gingival sites are still BOP
  3. Significant reduction in probing depths has NOT been achieved
92
Q

When should a patient NOT be considered an acceptable candidate for periodontal surgery after SRPs?

A
  1. Poor oral hygiene
  2. Lack of motivation/ability to exercise proper home care
93
Q

When does a patient NOT require further perio treatment (other than routine maintenance)? (4)

A
  1. Acceptable oral hygiene
  2. No gingival inflammation or BOP
  3. Probing depths significantly reduced
  4. Clinical attachment levels have improved
94
Q

Any patient with probing depths of ______ or greater should be referred to a periodontist

A

6mm

95
Q

In private practice, Stage ____ or _____ and Grade ___ perio patients should be IMMEDIATELY referred to a periodontitis.

A

III; IV; C

96

Which phase?

  1. Elimination of active disease
  2. Goal is to reduce gingival inflammation and reduction of pocket depth through reduction of swelling
A

Phase I therapy
(aka Hygienic Phase)

97
Q

Which phase of therapy includes the following?

  1. OH instructions
  2. Prophy or SRP
  3. Antimicrobial agents
  4. Extraction of hopeless teeth
  5. Caries control
  6. Endo tx
A

Phase I therapy

Q

Ideal goals of treatment of periodontitis

A
  1. Form new attachment

Q

Healing of a wound by tissue that does not fully restore architecture or function of the part

A

Repair
