Perio Final Flashcards
4 mechanic causes of gingival recession
Traumatic brushing, flossing
Ortho Tx
Trauma
Parafunctional habit
Generalized vs. localized causes of biological gingival recession (2 of each)
G: tissue biotype
Oral hygiene
L: anatomy
Defective restoration
Brushing abrasion commonly affects _ in young adults
Premolars
Miller classification of recession
1- no interprox bone loss Recession doesn’t extend to MGJ 100% Root coverage 2- No interprox bone loss Recession to or past MGJ 100% root coverage 3-Interprox bone loss May pass MGJ Partial root coverage 4-Interprox bone loss PAST level of recession No root coverage
Perio-ortho interrelationships
S
Who has a higher increase in plaque after ortho?
Adults. Adolescents have higher baseline and it doesn’t increase that much
After ortho, subgingival pathogens __. Several months later they _
Temporarily increase
Return to pretreatment levels
_ % of people have gingival enlargement that remains after ortho tx
30%. 50 start, 100 end tx, 80% after 3-12 mo.
What do normally erupting teeth look like at time of eruption
Developing root and 3/4 final root length complete
Unerupted teeth have a more _ than erupting teeth
More completely developed root
Order of frequency of impacted teeth
3rd molars Maxillary canine Man 1st PM Man 2nd PM Man Canine Max premolars
Most impacted max canines are _ impacted
Palatal
Buccally impacted canines are associated with _ deficiency
Arch length
Local causes of tooth impaction
Failure of deciduous roots to resorb Abnormal position Supernumerary tooth Tooth crowding Dentigerous cyst Thickened soft tissues Soft/hard tiss. Pathology Premature extraction of primary tooth
3 Systemic factors that can cause impaction
Childhood diseases
Hereditary factors
Genetic syndromes
Problems that can follow canine impaction
Malpositioning of impacted tooth Migration of neighboring teeth Internal/external resorption Dentigerous cyst formation Referred pain
Surgical aims for impacted teeth (not extraction)
Provide conditions for normal, unimpeded eruption
Provide access for ortho appliances
Open eruption vs closed eruption
Open: cut a window, let it erupt
Closed: cut flap, ortho appliance, close flap
Advantage/disadvantage of closed and open eruption
Open: more pain, hard to eat, if ortho breaks, don’t need surgery
Closed: more comfortable, but if ortho breaks, need surgery again
ANUG starts where
Papilla then moves to gingiva
Characteristics of advanced ANUG
Lack of deep pockets
Papillary and marginal involvement
STINKS
Necrosis causing craters
4 microbes that cause ANUG
Treponema
Selenomonas
Fusobacterium
Prevotella
Treatment of ANUG
1st
2nd
3rd
- History
Removal of necrotic tissue
Emergency tx
1/2 rinse with H2O2
- Evaluation
Scaling
Emergency
Confirm home hygiene - No more rinses
Plaque control
Counsel on hygiene
SRP repeated if needed
4 types of abscesses, causes of each
Gingival - Trauma
Pericoronal - Trauma
Periodontal - Infection
Periapical - Infection
