A

EO: broad spectrum activity against G+ and G- bacteria

Poor response to initial therapy

Pg or Aa in subgingival biofilm

Severe cases with generalized deep pocket depths

29
Q

Antibiotics are helpful in treating perio if they:

A

Distribute to the pocket and soft tissue wall

Reach inhibitory levels in pocket

Penetrate host cells and kill bacteria

30

Penicillins (amoxicillin)

Metronidazole

Tetracyclines (doxycycline)

Clindamycin

Macrolides (azithromycin, clarithromycin)

31
Q

Antibiotics good at killing strict anaerobes

Antibiotics that kill facultative microbes like A.a.

A

Anaerobes: metronidazole, clindamycin

Facultative: fluoroquinolones, macrolides

32
Q

Tetracyclines kill what?

How

A

Most perio pathogens

Inhibit collagenase

33
Q

Azithromycin levels are higher in _ than _

A

GCF

Blood

34
Q

Azithromycin decreases GCF conc. Of _ and _ in healthy subjects

A

IL-8 and TNF

35
Q

_ and _ are in higher levels in GCF than in blood serum

A

Azithromycin and clarithromycin

36
Q

When is micro testing most effective

A

Do initial therapy

See how initial therapy worked

If it didn’t work well, test deepest pockets for presence of pathogens with molecular test

Give antibiotics that work against paths identified

37
Q

Main antibiotic regimen for aggressive perio or severe chronic perio

A

Amoxicillin (500mg)
Metronidazole (250mg)
For 8 days

38
Q

What is the difference b/t what’s in true vs pseudopockets

A
Pseudo and true:
Biofilm
Calculus
Chronic inflammation
Destructive host response

True only:
Diseased root cementum
Apical migration of attachment apparatus
Bone loss

39
Q

Why remove calculus

A

NOT a chemical/mechanical irritant

It is plaque retentive

40
Q

Diseased soft tissue is removed by _

Diseased hard tissue is removed by _

A

Curettage

Root planing

41
Q

Root planing:

Subgingival Scaling:

A

RP: removing cementum or surface dentin that is rough, has calculus or contaminated
-modify root surface, perio only

Subgingival scaling: instrumentation of root surfaces to remove plaque, calculus, and stains
-remove deposits, gingivitis and perio

42
Q

3 keys to effective root planing

A

Sharp instruments
Access cemental surface
Correct angulation of instrument face

43
Q

How long for comprehensive subgingival treatment of one tooth by hand instruments

A

45
Q

A

Root planing

46
Q

Cementum thickness at cervical vs apical

A

Cervical = 20-50 um

Apical = 150-250 um

47
Q

Critical probing depth

A

Pocket depth below which is Aloss and above is attachment gain

Q

Non-working side contacts = _ = _
