Perio Flashcards
Reasons for NSPT failure
Inc. PPD
Inc. width tooth surface
Poor access: unable to angle/adapt curette
Tenacious calculus
Root fissures/concavities/furcation
Defective restoration margins subgingival
Relationship between chance of calculus removal and PPD
Inverse
<3mm = 83%
3-5mm = 39%
>5mm = 11%
Av. depth plaque-free surface established = 3.73mm
Instrument can reach 5.52mm
Objectives of PD surgery
Eliminate local factors Eliminate/red. PPD Restore alveolar bone architecture Regenerate functional attachment apparatus Crown lengthening Correct mucogingival defects
Surgical PD therapy techniques
Gingivectomy Flap surgery Osteoplasty Tunnelling Root resection
Gingivectomy vs flap surgery
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
Discuss tunnelling and root amputation
Tunnelling
- furcation 3
- osteotomy + gingivoplasty to expose furcation
- allows proper cleaning of furcation
- adv: long roots, short trunk, adequate separation
- disadv: root caries, sensitivity
Root amputation
- furcation 2/3
- remove 1 periodontally involved root cf whole tooth
- req. endo
- risk #
What is an infra-bony defect?
Occurs when base of PPD is apical to crest of alveolar bone
1 wall: only 1 wall remaining; i.e. M remaining, B+L lost
2 wall: 2 walls remaining; M+B remaining, L lost
3 wall: 3 walls remaining; defect not broken through B/L plate
Interproximal crater: bone b/w 2 teeth lost, B/L plates intact
Goals of periodontal therapy
Infection control PPD red./eliminated Regeneration Long term success/results Aesthetic improvement
Why can wound healing in OC be challenging?
Open system: exposed to OC via sulcus lots of bacteria -> infection
Surface healing w/ poor blood supply
- only supply through surrounding tissues + remaining PDL
Properties of ideal regenerative perio material
Promote proliferation + migration of cells from PDL
Inhibit proliferation of epithelial + gingival connective tissue into wound
Enhance space provision + wound stability
Examples of regenerative perio materials
Grafting
Enamel Matrix Protein/Derivative
Growth + Differentiation factors
Platelet rich plasma
Principles that success of perio regeneration is dependent on
PASS
1ry closure + site protection allowing for undisturbed healing
Angiogenesis: blood + undifferentiated mesenchymal cells
Space creation + maintenance for bony ingrowth
- if collapses will heal by long junctional epithelium
Stability: blood clot formation + uneventful healing
Requirements of regenerative perio membrane material
Biocompatible
Not elicit inflammatory response
Maintain barrier function
Noncollapsible; maintain space
Importance of enamel matrix proteins
EMP deposition on developing tooth root req. for cementum formation
PDL + alveolar bone formation dependent on cementum
Biological effects of EMD
Inc. attachment rate + migration of PDL cells
Inhibit epithelial down growth
Antibacterial effect on plaque
Stim. proliferation + differentiation of pre-osteoblasts
Osteopromotive w/ decalcified freeze dried bone allograft
Inc. osteogenic activity bone marrow
Inc. no gingival fibroblasts
Rationale for combination perio regenerative therapy
Enhance periodontal regeneration by GTR/GF/EMD
Provide space + enhance wound stability by means of grafting materials into defects w/ complex anatomy
Define furcation
Pathologic resorption of bone in the anatomic area of multi-rooted teeth where roots diverge
Horizontal and vertical classification of furcation defect
Horizontal: Hemp
- 1: loss of PD support <3mm
- 2: >3mm but not through-and-through
- 3: through and through
Vertical: Tarnow + Fletcher
- A: bone loss <3mm
- B: 4-6mm
- C: >7mm
Dx of furcation defect
X-ray
- indicate existing furcation involvement
- can’t provide Dx of classification
Clinical: Naber’s probe
- B+L: good reproducibility + validity
- MP: less reliable
- DP: most difficult, poor reproducibility
Tx of F1
OH
NSPT: consider odontoplasty
PD supportive therapy
Management of single mandibular F2
Regeneration
NSPT + odontoplasty
Surgical: OFD, apically positioned flap, osteoplasty
Tx of combined mandibular F2 defect
2 + 1
- regeneration
- NSPT + odontoplasty
- surgical
2 + 2
- tunnelling
- NSPT + odontoplasty
- resection/hemisection
- surgical

What does successful perio regeneration req.?
PDL cells
Factors affecting healing following PD surgery
Pt: OH, smoking Tooth Gingiva: recession, biotype Initial PPD Membrane exposure/infection
Factors affecting outcome of PD surgery
Defect - size — 2x2mm predictable; 5x4mm unpredictable - morphology - angle Soft tissue management/flap recession Space maintenance Tooth - endo condition - mobility

When should perio re-evaluation be carried out?
Following SRP
- junctional epithelium reestablish: 1-2/52
- connective tissue repair: 4-8/52
8/52 too long
Ideal: 4-8/52
