Perio Plastics I Flashcards
What ways can you distinguish gingiva from alveolar mucosa?
Visual assessment
Schiller’s iodine (detects glycogen in oral mucosa)
Roll test
How is the location of the MGJ determined
Genetically pre-determined
What happens with KG as we age? Citation
Increases due to continuous eruption of the teeth (Ainamo & Ainamo 1978)
Facial Attached Gingiva measurements/locations of widest/narrowest - citation
Bowers 1963
Ranges from 1-9mm
Widest: Maxillary Lateral Incisor
Narrowest: Mandibular 1st premolar
Lingual KG
Widest: 2PM, 1M
Narrowest: Anteriors
Voigt et al. 1978
Gingival thickness
Claffey & Shanley 1986
Thick: >2mm
Thin: <1.5mm
How thick is thin GT on average? Citation
0.8mm
Zweers et al. 2014
What makes up periodontal biotype?
Purposed by Zweers et al. 2014
Gingival Thickness
Keratinized Tissue Width
Bone morphotype
What types of periodontal biotypes were proposed?
Thin scalloped
Thick Flat
Thick Scalloped
Describe a thin scalloped phenotype
Prevalnce?
Zweers 2014

Name studies that say we need 2mm of KG
Lang and Loe 1972
Stetler and Bissada 1987 (subG Restorations)
Name studies that say we do NOT need 2mm of KG
Miyasato et al. 1977
Wennstrom & Lindhe 1983
Kennedy et al. 1985
Cortellini & Bissada 2018
What did they do in Miyasato et al. 1977? Results?
16 dental students - No OH for 25days
No difference in plaque induced inflammation in <1mm KG and >2mm KG groups
What did they do in Wennstrom and Lindhe 1983? Results?
Beagle dogs - excised KG then FGG in 50% of sites
Plaque control
NO clinical or histological inflammation in either group
What was the Stetler and Bissada 1987 Study?
Higher gingival scores in teeth with SubG restorations and narrow KG (<2mm)
NSSD when restorations were SupraG
What is the current view on KG around teeth?
In the presence of adequate OH, minimum KT is not needed to prevent CALoss
In the presence of inadequate OH, KG (2mm KG, 1mm AG) is crucial for maintenance of gingival health.
Kennedy et al. 1985
Cortellini & Bissada 2018
Name 1 study that says 2mm KG is needed around implants. Describe it
Thoma et al. 2018
Systematic Review
Autogenous grafts result in more favorable peri-implant health
Increased KTW improves BOP and marginal bone levels
Increase MT reduces likelihood of MBL
Name 1 study that says we do NOT need KG around implants. Describe it
Wennstrom & Derks 2012
Systematic Review
With goodOH, peri-implant soft tissue health can be maintained in absence of adequate amount of KG`
Name a RECENT study on KG around implants. What did it find?
Ravida et al. 2022
Systematic review, Meta analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis
NSSD and Low power evidence for KMW impact on PD, recession, MBL
SSD mean Plaque Index for implants with 2mm+ KG
Strength of evidence of KMW as a risk factor for Pi remains low - need more control studies with larger samples
What is the INCIDENCE of recessions? Citation
O’Leary 1967
27.7% in at least 1 segment
What is the PREVALENCE of GR? Citation
Varies by size of recession
Albander & Rams 2002 (1999 NHANES Data)
_>_1mm: ~60%
_>_3mm: 23%
Rios et al. 2014 (Brazil)
_>_1mm: ~70%
_>_3mm 28%
_>_5mm: 23%
Who classified Mucogingival Deformities in the current AAP/EFP Classification?
What publication provided evidence to support it?
Jepsen et al. 2018
Cortellini & Bissada 2018
What is the difference between Periodontal Phenotype and Periodontal Biotype?
Biotype is genetically predetermined
Phenotype is determined by genetics & environmental factors
What is included in periodontal phenotype?
Gingival Phenotype(KTW, MT)
Bone Morphotype (buccal bone thickness)
