Q

Gingivectomy vs flap surgery

A

Gingivectomy

  • excision of gingiva
  • root SP then packed + PD membrane placed
  • 2ry healing
  • can’t Tx bony defect

Flap surgery

  • raise flap to level of mucogingival margin
  • allow visualisation of root for SP
  • can use to Tx bony defect

Red. incidence tooth/implant loss
Inc. probability of locating + Txing other oral disease/condition

31
Q

Compare trial and compromised SPT

A

Trial: maintain borderline PD conditions over period to further assess need for corrective therapy while maintaining PD health on balance throughout mouth

  • inadequate gingiva
  • gingiva architectural defects
  • borderline pockets
  • furcation defects

Compromised: slow progression of PD disease in pt corrective therapy indicated cannot be provided due to:

  • health
  • economics
  • poor OH
  • recalcitrant defects post-corrective therapy
32
Q

Rationale for SPT

A

PD biofilm rebounds 2/52 following SRP (Wennstrom, 2011)
Clinical success w/ regular maintenance (Becker, 2001)
Residual bleeding PPD >4mm inc. risk progression + tooth loss
Limit incidence + freq. tooth loss
Limit CAL

33

Osteoplasty

  • reshape bone to guide gingiva
  • don’t remove supporting bone
  • furcation 1

Ostectomy
- removal of supporting bone to even out surface

45
Q

Resection vs regeneration

A

Resection

  • removal of hard tissue
  • create flat osseous architecture to facilitate better adaptation of soft tissue
  • red. PPD, inc. recession

Regeneration: addition of regenerative/grafting material to rebuild lost apparatus

46
Q

General Tx for infrabony defects and favourability to regeneration/resection

A

Greater no. walls remaining, inc. favourability to regeneration
- except 4 wall defect
Less walls req. resection

49
Q

Significance of calculus accumulations

A

Calculus doesn’t directly cause gingival inflammation
Provides niche for plaque accumulation

50
Q

Significance of dental staining re PD

A

Inc. surface roughness -> inc. plaque accumulation

51
Q

Define: fornix, entrance, trunk, degree of separation, divergence of roots

A

Fornix: roof of furcation
Entrance: area b/w non/separated parts of roots
Trunk: body of root before roots diverge
Degree of separation: angle b/w separating roots
Divergence: distance b/w roots

52
Q

Effect of root morphology on PD

A

Furcations, grooves, concavities make more difficult to clean thus allow for inc. plaque retention

53
Q

Discuss enamel pearls + cervical enamel projections

A

Enamel pearls

  • developmental deviation; 1.1-9.7%
  • S: U7/8s
  • usually at furcation area
  • may contain dentine + pulp tissue
  • prevent connective tissue attachment

Cervical enamel projection

  • developmental deviation
  • S: B LMs
  • apical projections of enamel
  • prevent connective tissue attachment
54
Q

Effect of root #s + root proximity on PD

A

s

  • significant inc. PPD
  • usually only 1 site

Proximity

  • closer together = inc. risk
  • little interproximal space, less bone thickness
55
Q

What is altered passive eruption?

A

Developmental condition w/ abnormal dento-alveolar relationships

Gingival margin (sometimes bone) more coronal

  • > pseudopockets
  • > aesthetic concerns
56
Q

Localised dental prosthesis-related factors predisposing to PD

A
Poor/invasive margins
Overhangs
Contours
Decay
Open/loose contacts 
DM + Procedures 
Removable prostheses
Ortho appliances
57
Q

Discuss effect of poor restorative margins on PD

A

Never good -> microleakage -> 2ry caries + PD breakdown
Follow anatomy of tooth, not encroach further than req.

Subgingival

  • deeper = higher chance inflammation
  • inc. PPD
  • inc. CAL
  • more bacteria
  • encroach on supracrestal tissue attachment -> pathological inflammation
58
Q

Discuss contour of restorations effect on PD

A

Over-contoured

  • accumulate plaque
  • handicap OH
  • prevent self-cleaning mechanisms of cheek, lips, tongue

Flat B/L contours

  • follow cervical contours
  • doesn’t accentuate cervical bulge
59
Q

Discuss open contacts + overhangs effect on PD

A

Open contacts

  • forceful food wedging due to O forces
  • some move due to movement; can’t fix due to over-contouring
  • over T -> PD breakdown as difficult to clean

Overhangs
- inc. bone loss w/ med./L overhangs
— small (<25%) less detrimental
- removal improve status thus replace restorations

60
Q

Side effects of dentures and ortho appliances (perio)

A

Dentures

  • plaque accumulation if poor OH
  • gingival inflammation/pressure
  • traumatic O forces

Ortho

  • plaque accumulation
  • change plaque composition
  • gingival inflammation + enlargement
  • gingival recession
  • trauma: bands, elastics
  • bone loss
  • root resorption
