Perio Sweep 1.1 Flashcards
TFO and inflammation are
separate processes
No enhanced attachment loss
NO co-destruction
Co-destructi0n: TFO and inflammation
at same site
Lesions merge
Enhanced attachment loss
Co-destruction
Inflammation in same area of TFO: co-destruction and accelerated bone loss
Inflammation reaches apical to the crest of bone
Methods of Occlusal Therapy: Irreversible
Intracoronal splints (require tooth preparation) Occlusal adjustment by selective grinding Orthodontics Orthognathic surgery
Occ. Trauma and PD: Evidence
Periodontitis (inflammation) must be present for
attachment loss to occur
Occlusal trauma in the absence of periodontitis may be
reversible and result in adaptation (a mobile but otherwise healthy tooth
No repair can occur unless
inflammatory periodontal disease is first resolved
Occlusal trauma superimposed on an existing periodontitis may under certain conditions
accelerate attachment loss
Occlusal therapy in conjunction with periodontal treatment is indicated when
occlusal trauma is present
Occlusal therapy should not be done until
inflammatory PD is first controlled during initial periodontal therapy (helps decrease inflammation)
Occlusal therapy is especially indicated prior to
periodontal regenerative therapy
Occlusal adjustment is not justified in the absence of
periodontal disease as a preventive measure
Primary stability=
stability of the implant at the time of placement (mechanical interlocking mechanism between a screw and bone surface)
- Bone density - Implant fixture design
Healing at the interface=
Bone formation and remodeling
[Conventional healing time:
*Mandible…. 3 months
*Maxilla …. 6 months]
The effect of functional implant loading on bone formation
Functional Loading of the Implant
Immediate Loading (at the time of placement) Early loading (before conventional healing time) Late loading (following 3 or 6 months
Restorative Design
Single tooth restoration
Multiple unit fixed type restoration
(splinted versus individual crowns)
Full mouth fixed type implant supported restoration
Full mouth removable type implant supported restoration
Implants in excessive occlusion
Porcelain Fracture
Implant to abutment (screw loosening or fracture)
Implant fixture fracture
Increasing mobility of adjacent teeth
Eruption/malocclusion etc of adjacent teeth (observed following functional loading of the dental implant)
Periodontal Tactile Perception and Peri-implant Osseoperception
Tooth extraction»_space;> Sensory amputation
Myelinated fiber content of the inferior nerve reduced by 20%
Presence and potential function of sensory nerve fibers in the bone and peri-implant environment
Gradual increase in free nerve endings close to implant-bone interface during healing
Existing mechanoreceptors in the periosteum
“Tactile Sensibility” and “Thickness Discrimination”
Sensory feedback through receptors localized within pdl (viscoelasticity) and within bone (elasticity)…
Necessary for fine tuning of jaw and limb motor control.
Detection thresholds of 20 m of thickness in between antagonist teeth and 1-2 g upon tooth loading.
After implant placement, detection thresholds of 50-100 m of thickness and 50-100 g upon tooth loading.
Functional occlusal forces and implants(summary from various studies)
Loading time depends on:
- Primary stability of the implant
- Implant design
- Restorative design
- Presence/absence of risk factors
Functional (and well controlled) loading may increase
bone to implant contact BUT
Hundred percent bone-implant surface contact is NOT possible.
Occlusal trauma is a ——— for periodontal disease but …
secondary etiological factor
it can be a primary etiological factor for peri-implant disease.
Bruxism: LONGER AND WIDER
DENTAL IMPLANTS TO TOLERATE CHALLENGES !!!
SURROUNDED WITH THICK BONE SUPPORT !!!
Lateral loads induced
high bone strain and implant stress than vertical loads.
Periodontal disease is currently diagnosed almost entirely on the basis of its
clinical manifestations
Assessment of host resposne
Biochemical analysis as part of periodontal diagnosis
Source of samples:
GCF, saliva, and serum (blood)
Genetic Analysis (only for research)
There is a genetic susceptibility to periodontitis
Gene polymorphism as a risk marker for periodontitis
