perio surgery Flashcards
name 3 types of perio surgery instruments
microsurgical instruments
microsurgical scalpel blades
magnification
name 3 flap design dont’s
dont cut max bulbosity of root
dont cut diagonal relieving insicions
dont cut vertically through papilla
why are black silk sutures not used anymore
baterial colonisation
wicking
what sutures are used now
synthetic mono-filament
what should pts be told when sutures are present
no brushing in the region
use chlorhexidine mouthwash to reduce plaque formation
why are periodontal dressings not used so much now
pts dont like them - aesthetics and function
corners can get bacterial growth underneath
what are the 3 types of perio surgery
resective
repair/reattachment
regenerative
what are 2 resective surgeries
gingivectomy
root resection
what are 2 repair/reattachment surgeries
Open flap debridement (OFD)
modified widman flap (MWF)
what are 3 regenerative surgeries
GTR guided tissue regeneration
grafts
emdogain
what is resective surgery
pocket elimination procedure which establsihes a morphologically normal attachment but with apical displacement of the dento-gingival complex
what is repair/reattachment surgery
pocket reduction surgery but without replication of the normal attachment
healing is by formation of a long juctional epithelim
what flap is used for repair/reattachment
partially reflected flap
crevicular incision without relieving incisiosn
describe the open flap debridement procedure
- pt consent and LA
- 1 min chlorhexidine
- incision in gingival sulcus
- raise full thickness flap, limited to 1mm below alveolar crest
- remove granulation tissue
- scale tooth surface
- suture
what is the modified widman flap
resection of soft tissue collar from ginigival margin
incision 0.5-1mm from gingival margin
what are the indications for partially reflected flaps
excellent maintenance
site >6mm with BOP or suppuration
horizontal bone loss pattern
vertical defect<3mm
isolated perio pockets remain
what are containdications for partially reflected flaps
asesthetic region
need for graft/membrane
complex furcation/bone defects
lack of/limited attached ginigvae (MWF)
what are advantaged of partially reflected flaps
healing by primary intention
minimal crestal bone resorption
effective in pockets 6-7mm
what are disadvantages of partially reflected flaps
can be unpredictable
no new attachment
risk of recession
interdental craters
what is regeneration
recreation of the complete attachment apparatus of bone/cementum/functionally orientated periodontal ligament against previously exposed root surface
what is the difference between repair and regeneration
repair causes long junctional epithelium and crestal remodelling
regenerations causes new cementum pdl and alveolar bone
what are the 3 aims of regenerative surgery
regenerate defect
remove factors associated with disease progression
enhance access for plaque control and maintenance
what is needed for regeneration?
PDL cells
wound stability
space provision
primary intention healing
what cells are available to repopulate the root for healing
epithelial cells
gingival connective tissue cells
bone cells
mesenchymal cells from PDL
what to epithelial cells do in healing
long junctional epithelium
what to ginigval connective tissue cells do in healing
CT attachment or root resoprtion
what to bone cells do in healing
root resorption and ankylosis
what to mesenchymal cells do in healing
regeneration
what is the case selection criteria for regeneration
infrabony defect with pocket >6mm, depth >3mm, <25 degrees, high number of walls
class 2 furcation mandibular molars
single class 2 furcation maxillary molars
what are the 4 regenerative techniques
guided tissue regeneration
bone graft materials
enamel matrix proteins (EMD)
combinations (GTR&bone, EMD&bone)
what is guided tissue regeneration
use of mechanical barrier (membrane) to selectively enhance the establishment of PDL and peri-vascular cells in osseous defects to initiate periodontal regeneration
what are the 3 aims of GTR
- stop rapid downgrowth of epithelial cells
- create space for pluripotent cells from PDL to access root surface
- improve local anatomy, function and prognosis of teeth
what is the function of a membrane
act as a barrier to prevent cells apart from PDL migrating into site
what is an autograft
from donor site of same person
what is an allograft
from a different person but human bone
what is a xenograft
from animal source
what is alloplast
synthetic material
what does emdogain do
mimics the development of tooth supporting apparatus during tooth formation
what is the effect of EMD on epithelial cells
decreased cell proliferation and migration
