Q

Describe the biological width

A

A 2mm width of the dento-gingival junction which is comprised of approximately 1mm epithelial attachment, and 1mm connective tissue attachment, which extends from the depth of the gingival sulcus to the crest of the alveolar bone.

Q

How od you tell the difference between inflammation characteristic of violation of biological width or due to biomaterial allergy?

Q

What is a modified widman flap?

A

When the ulcerated epithelium of the pocket is incise to leave healthy tissue against the tooth for new attachment with long junctional epithelium.

Q

What is the difference between an Osteotomy and Osteoplasty?

A

Osteotomy - takes supporting bone away so height reduced. Osteoplasty takes thickness, not height so alters morphology without taking away attachment.

20
Q

What surgical techniques iare used to pocket elimination

A

Gingivectomy and apically positioned flap.

A modified Widman flap is used when aesthetics require the gingiva to be placed in the same place or sensitivity issue.

21
Q

The success of non-surgical and surgical treatment depends on (2)

A
  1. Carefully tailored supportive therapy
  2. Patients oral hygiene performance
22
Q
A
23
Q

What is mucogingival surgery (aka periodontal plastic surgery?)

A

Surgical procedure performed to prevent or correct anatomic, developmental, traumatic or disease induced defects of the gingiva, alveolar mucosa or bone.

24
Q

Mucogingival surgery is mainly used to treat:

A

Gingival recession.

But also used for gingival augmentation, correction of mucosal defects at implants, crown lengthening and more.

25
Q

What Millers Class is this:

“Marginal tissue recession not extending to the mucogingival junction; no loss of interdental bone or soft tissue”

A

Class I

26
Q

What Millers class is this?

“Marginal tissue recession extending to or beyond the mucogingival junction; no loss of interdental bone/soft tissue”

A

Millers Class II

27
Q

What Millers class is this?

“Marginal tissue recession extending to or beyond the mucogingival junction; loss of interdental bone/soft tissue or malpositioning of the tooth”

A

Class III

28
Q

What Millers Class is this :

“Marginal tissue recession extending to or beyond the mucogingival junction; severe loss of interdental bone/soft tissue or severe malpositioning of the tooth

A

Class IV

29
Q

What amount of keratinised gingiva is required in order to maintain health

A

2mm

30
Q

7 aetiologies of marginal tissue recession (gingival recession)

A
  1. Toothbrushing, trauma
  2. Phenotype
  3. Perio
  4. High frenal attachment (pulling gingival margin down)
  5. Anatomical eg palatal groove or tooth malposition
  6. Iatrogenic eg ortho, perio therapy
  7. Occlusal Trauma
31
Q

In Mucogingival surgery, what Classes get no, partial and complete root coverage.

A
  • Class IV will not obtain any
  • Class III will be partial
  • Class I and II should get complete
32
Q

3 indications for root coverage procedures

A
  • Aesthetics
  • Root sensitivity
  • Shallow root caries lesions
33
Q

What are three therapeutic goals of mucogingival surgery

A
  1. Reduction of root sensitivity
  2. Obtain root coverage
  3. Gain clinical attachment and shallow probing depth
34
Q

What are three patient considerations when considering mucogingival surgery

A
  1. Plaque control and compliance
  2. Smoking (associated with failure)
  3. Diabetes (healing)
35
Q

What are the four root coverage procedures most commonly done

A
  1. Pedicle soft tissue graft (flap)
  2. Free soft tissue graft
  3. Combination pedicle and free
  4. Combination of pedicle and GTR.
36
Q

In 90% of non-surgical periodontal therapy, pockets are reduced due to:

A

Repair by New Attachment - long junctional epithelium

37
Q

What is the issue with repair by long junctional epithelium?

A

It is missing the new cementum and PDL fibre cells

38
Q

Repair by new attachment with Connective tissue and cementum is a good outcome of GTR, but isn’t considered regeneration because:

A

Bone isn’t present

39
Q

Guided Tissue Regerneration will ideally bring together a functional unit which consists of:

A
  • Cementum
  • PDL
  • Bone

(epithelium is blocked)

40
Q

What are the biological principles of GTR

A
  • Selective cell repopulation through epithelia exclusion
  • Use of physical barriers (membranes) and/or grafts which allow clot stabiliation, wound protection, space making
41
Q

5 requirements of a membrane which is to be used for GTR

A
  1. Biocompatible
  2. Cell occlusive
  3. Space making
  4. Tissue integration
  5. Clinically manageable
42
Q

Example of a membrane used in GTR:

A

Bio-gide Perio

43
Q

3 INDICATIONS FOR GTR

A
  1. Bony defects with two to three walls
  2. Class II furcation lesion
  3. Class I and Class II recession
44
Q

8 Contra-indications for GTR

A
  1. Poor OH
  2. Medical conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes
  3. Smoking
  4. Horizontal defects (no walls)
  5. PD< 4mm (waste of time)
  6. Tooth mobility (need stability for clot)
  7. FUrcation lesions grade I and III
  8. Gingival recession class III and IV
45
Q

Tx of recession:

A
  • OHI
  • Supportive perio therapy
