What are the aims of periodontal surgery?

A
Gain direct access root surface
Visualisation of defect
Improve tissue contour

16
Q

What LA should be given when carrying out gingivectomy?

A

Normal and inter-papilla

Inter-papillary - reduce bleeding

17
Q

What is Goldman’s technique used for?

A

Pocket depth marking

18
Q

How is Goldman’s technique used?

A

Probe to measure depth of pocket
Pierce from outside to create bleeding point
Correspond to depth of pocket
Incision leave 1-2mm pocket depth

19
Q

What incisions are used in gingivectomy?

A

External bevel incisions

Base of incision lies bleeding point

20
Q

Stages of gingival flap?

A
  1. LA
  2. Relieving incision
  3. Raise flap
  4. Curettage
  5. PMPR
  6. Irrigation
  7. Suture reposition flap
21
Q

Difference curettage and PMPR?

A

Curettage - remove granulation tissue

PMPR - remove deposits and thin layer cementum bound endotoxins

22
Q

Adv of internal bevel incision?

A

Preserve tissue while elimination pocket

23
Q

Adv of reliving incision?

A

Allows flap to be raise for better visulisation

24
Q

Adv of crevicular incision?

A

Maintains soft tissue - indicated aesthetic regions

25
Q

When is odontoplasty used?

A

When furcation invovlement

26
Q

What is osteoplastys used?

A

If bone is causing prominent gingival appearance - supporting bone removed

Use of soft toothbrush after 3 weeks

30
Q

How long before probing surgery sites?

A

3 months

6 months if regeneration

31
Q

Signs of healing?

A

Good contour

Good parameter: PD, bleeding, aesthetic and attachment

32
Q

Signs of success for flap surgery?

A
Decrease in inflammation
Less BOP
Decrease in pocket depth 
Increase attachment 
Elimination suppuration
Improvement tissue contour
Stabilisation bone levels
33
