Perio Regeneration-Martinez Flashcards
Define Infrabony Pocket
- a pocket whose base is apical to alveolar crest
What are the different types of infrabony defects?
- 1 wall defect
- 2-wall (interdental crater)
- 3-wall defect
Infrabony Pockets: Treatment Modalities
- Non-regenerative therapy
- Open Flap Debridement (OFD)
- Apically positioned flap + osseous surgery
- Regenerative therapy:
- Bioactive agents/Biologics
- EMD
- PDGF-BB
- Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR)
- Bioactive agents/Biologics
Laurell 1997: Which treatment of Infrabony Pockets had the best CAL Gain & Bone Fill?
- GTR
- CAL Gain
- 4.2
- Bone Fill
- 3.2
- CAL Gain
Tonetti & Cortellini 2000: Which treatment of Infrabony Pockets had the best CAL Gain?
- Emdogain (EMD)=biologic
- 3.5
- GTR
- 3.8
Treatment of infrabony pockets Conclusion
- graft, biologic, or barrier produced more favorable CAL Gain & PD reduction vs OFD
- GTR=most effective
Define Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR):
- 2000
- surgical procedure to regenerate loss periodontal structures through different tissue responses
- 1976
- cells that repopulate the root surface after therapy will determine nature of attachment (compartmentalization concept)
Compartmentalization concept
- the cells that repopulate the root surface after therapy will determine the type of attachment
Periodontal repair vs regeneration
- Repair:
- restore gingival sulcus to the same level of the base of previous pocket
- (lowers pocket
- Regeneration:
- Completely restore the lost part (Bone) to original architecture and function.
- at same level as healthy
What is the biologic rational behind GTR?
- exclude the tissue we dont want (epithelium & CT)
- allows regeneration of root cementum w/inserting periodontal fibers
- eventual regeneration of alveolar bone
Who had the first successful application of GTR in humans?
Sture Nyman
Overview Wound Healing Events after Periodontal Surgery
Overview Wound Healing Events after Periodontal Surgery
Soft Tissue Wound Healing
- Epithelial cell migration
- few days after surgery
- migration rate: 0.5 mm/day
- Epithelial cells=Epithelium
- Fibroblasts= Connective Tissue
Hard Tissue Wound Healing
- Woven Bone Formation:
- Bone requires more time
- SLOW
- migration rate: 0.05 mm/day
- low healing rate
- Osseous Cells=Bone
- PDL Cells=Cementum & Bone
- SLOW
- Bone requires more time
GTR: Concept of combination therapy
- membrane→ Barrier
- Graft→ Scaffold & Space maintenance
