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

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
Antibiotics are contraindicated for which abscess
Gingival
Perio abscesses most often happen on which teeth and under what condition
Molars
PD ≥ 5mm
Causes of perio abscesses
Periodontitis
Non-perio, acute infection from another source
Treatment of perio abscesses
Drainage through pocket retraction or incision SRP Perio surgery Extraction Antibiotics if systemic complications
Types of mucogingival defects
Gingival recession Lack of gingival keratinization Lack of attached gingiva -high frenum attachment -shallow vestibule Recession with abrasion
Etiology of gingival recession can be divided into two categories _
The first has 4 types
The second has 2 types
Mechanic/biological M: Traumatic brushing/flossing Ortho Trauma Parafunctional habit B: Generalized (tissue type, oral hygiene) Localized (anatomy, defective restoration)
Miller classifications for recession
I: no interprox bone loss, recession does NOT extend to MGJ
II: no interprox bone loss, recession extends to MGJ. Full root coverage
III: interprox bone loss, recession may reach MGJ. Partial root coverage (to level of interprox bone)
IV: interprox bone loss beyond level of recession. No root coverage
5 flap options for treating recession
Coronally advanced flap Tunnel Lateral sliding flap Double papilla Semilunar
Mucograft:
Xenograft porcine collagen I and III
Indications and disadvantages of free gingival graft
I: increase KG/attached gingiva
Increase vestibular depth
Achieve root coverage
D: not predictable for root coverage
Color doesn’t match
Complications at donor site
3 phases of healing of free gingival graft
Initial phase 0-3d
Revascularization 2-11d
Tissue maturation 11-42d
4 classifications of labial frena, definitions
Mucosal - frenum ends in mucosa or at MGJ
Gingival - frenum ends in gingiva
Papillary - frenum ends at papilla
Papillary penetrating - frenum ends at papilla and penetrates to palate
Main syndrome associated with prominent max frenum
Ellis van Creveld syndrome
Genetic syndromes (2) associated with absence of max labial frenum
Ehlers-Danlos
Holoprosencephaly
3 types of tissues make up frena
Ortho and parakeratinized ep.
Collagen fibers
Chronic inflammatory infiltrate
4 indications for frenectomy
Recession
Interference with oral hygiene procedures
Diastema
Denture fabrication
Frenotomy vs frenectomy
Otomy: cutting of frenum, esp release of ankyloglossia
Ectomy: total removal of a frenum
4 surgery options for a frenectomy
V shaped
Z-plasty
Lasers
Electrosurgery
Do ortho before or after frenectomy
Before unless really wide and thick

6 factors determining LASER interactions with tissues
Wavelength Energy level Waveform How focused the beam is Duration of exposure Tissue characteristics
Disadvantages of laser use
Technical difficulties
Less precise
Hazardous
Can disperse viral particles in plume
LANAP:
How does it work
Laser assisted new attachment procedure
Remove sulcular epithelium
Modify root surface
New attachment will occur
How does photodynamic therapy work
Sensitizer is injected, absorbed by tissues. Light targets only sensitized tissue, kills whatever is absorbed
4 indications for perio surgery
Failure to resolve inflammation by SRP (hard to reach areas)
Regeneration of periodontium
Cosmetic improvements to periodontium
Resorative needs
Two purposes of perio surgery
Access and regeneration
T/F open flap debridement is statistically significant in its effect
TRUE
3 types of healing
Repair - doesn’t restore function
New attachment - CT + root surface, deprived of original attachment
Regeneration - new cementum, PDL and bone to reconstitute lost part
T/F surgical tx is necessary to arrest inflammatory progress of disease
TRUE
T/F surgical access to root surface is least common surgical treatment to arrest periodontal disease
FALSE - it is the most common
