Q

tx objectives for furcation lesions

A

the elimination of microbial plaque from the exposed surface of the root complex
the establishment of an anatomy of the affected surface that facilitates proper self-performed plaque control

43
Q

tx options for furcation lesions

A 
1 palliate - maintain plaque control
 - supportive care - RSD
2 repair
 - RSD (small furcation), OFD
3 regeneration
 - GTR, GBR, Emdogain
4 eliminate - resective tx
 - root resection, hemisections, furcation plasty, tunnel procedure, extraction
44
Q

furcation lesions tx - palliative tx - non-surgical debridement

A

non-symptomatic
functional
not amenable to curative tx

periodic debridement - must maintain good plaque control
because of access difficulties, likely to be successful only in txing early (grade 1) lesions

45
Q

furcation lesions tx - OFD

A

evidence suggests similar long-term outcomes can be expected from both closed and open debridement of furcation lesions

46
Q

furcation lesions tx - regenerative procedures - pros and cons

A

furcation sites can provide good space maintenance and clot protection
BUT
- difficult to adequately debride
- relatively avascular

47
Q

furcation lesions tx - regenerative procedures - indications for periodontal regeneration

A

2 and 3 walled proximal defects
Grade 2 mandibular furcation defects
Grade 2 buccal maxillary furcation defects

48
Q

furcation lesions tx - regenerative - GTR/GBR

A

compared with OFD, GTR results in greater vertical and horizontal bone fill
- results are better in mandibular furcation
- 1.5mm more bone fill (horizontal)
GTR and bone graft gives even better results

49
Q

Biologics - Straumann Emdogain

A

a mix of enamel matrix proteins (derived from porcine tooth germ) that when applied to a clean root surface or oral wound, form an ECM that stimulates cells and processes that are fundamental for PD regeneration and ST wound healing - matrix mediates production of cementum

50
Q

resective tx for furcation lesions

A

aims to eliminate the furcation

  • furcation plasty (mainly at buccal and lingual furcation)
  • tunnel preparation (to tx deep degree 2 and 3 furcation defects in L molars)
  • root resection/separation/hemisection
51
Q

furcation lesions resective tx - tunnel procedure

A

bone and tooth recontoured to allow insertion of an interdental brush
take care not to perforate pulp chamber
tend to do for through and through

52
Q

furcation lesions resective tx - root resection

A

endo tx before

cut one root off

53
Q

furcation lesions resective tx - hemisection

A

endo tx
cut tooth in half
e.g. distal half of a hemisected molar is extracted, the mesial half is restored as a premolar

54
Q

furcation lesions resective tx - requirements for successful procedures

A

endo tx must be successful
root separation and removal must be feasible
remaining roots should not be hypermobile
remaining tooth structure should be restorable
pt should be dextrous and motivated enough to maintain plaque control
additional caries prevention strategies may be required to prevent caries of the exposed root

55
Q

what defects are teeth predominantly compromised by?

A

intrabony or intraradicular defects

56
Q

tx objective of regenerative therapy

A

obtain shallow, maintainable pockets by reconstruction of the destroyed attachment apparatus and therefore also limit recession of the gingival margin

57
Q

aims of regenerative therapy

A

increase in PD attachment of severely compromised teeth
decrease in deep pockets to a more maintainable range
reduction of the vertical and horizontal component of furcation defects

58
Q

types of pocket - horizontal bone loss

A

supra bony pocket
base of the pocket is located coronally to the alveolar crest
easier to tx

59
Q

types of pocket - vertical bone loss

A

infra bony pocket, angular defect

1 - crater - affects 2 adjacent teeth
2 - intrabony defect - affects 1 tooth

60
Q

classification of intrabony defect

A

number of walls of bone present

  • one wall intrabony defect
  • 2 wall intrabony defect
  • 3 wall intrabony defect - best to regenerate
61
Q

triad of tissue engineering

A

scaffold
cells
signalling molecules

62
Q

infra bony defect management

A

closed RSD - healing by repair
- quite unsuccessful as no access/visibility, relying on tactile sensation

open RSD

pocket elimination with osseous resection - rarely used nowadays

regenerative techniques

63

platelet-derived growth factor
insulin growth factor
transforming growth factor B
bone morphogenetic proteins
prostaglandin
fibronectin
enamel matrix proteins
64
Q

strategies for PD regeneration

A

space maintenance and clot protection
selective cell repopulation
provision of progenitor cells
use of biological mediators - signalling molecules

= regenerative techniques may employ one or more of the above strategies

65
Q

Emdogain regenerative procedure

A 
flap
OFD (get env suitable for regeneration)
etch
Emdogain
suture tissues
66
Q

GTR

A

based on the assumption that only the PDL cells have the potential for the regeneration of the attachment apparatus of tooth
place barriers of different types to cover the bone and PDL therefore temporarily separating them from gingival epithelium
- gingival epithelium - much faster than PDL cells so prevents healing of pocket

excluding the epithelium and the gingival CT from the root surface during the post-surgical healing phase

  • prevents epithelial migration into the wound
  • favours repopulation of the area by cells from the PDL and bone cells

GTR with the use of barrier membranes works on the principle of cell exclusion
- don’t expose membrane to oral cavity - will get infected. Must suture above membrane

67
Q

types of membrane - GTR

A 
bioabsorbable - good for smaller pockets
1 - natural
   - collagen type
   - synthetic polymer type (lactate-glycol compound)
   - CT graft
   - Durameter
   - oxidised cellulose
2 - synthetic
    - alloderm
    - polyurethanes
    - polylactic acid
    - polyglycolic acid

non-absorbable

  • millipore filter
  • e-PTFE membrane GORE-TEX
  • nucleopore membrane
  • rubber dam
  • ethyl cellulose
  • semi-permeable silicone barrier
68
Q

bone grafts - objectives

A

space maintenance and clot protection
osteoconduction - scaffold
osteoinduction - promoting OB activity
osteogenesis - OBs present in graft

69
Q

osteoconduction

A

scaffold

70
Q

osteoinduction

A

promoting OB activity

71
Q

osteogenesis

A

OBs present in graft

72
Q

GBR

A

osseous defects covered with a barrier membrane, which adapts closely to the surrounding bone surface
- our cells destroy the product and that forms the new bone
non-osseous cells (epithelial cells and fibroblasts) are inhibited and space is preserved between the bone surface and membrane
OBs derived from the periosteum and bone are selectively induced on the osseous defect area, facilitating new bone formation
GBR is for the regeneration of supporting bone

73
Q

autografts

A

same individual
safest - no rejection
EO - iliac crest, tibia, fibula, ribs
IO - chin, exostoses, torus, ramus, tuberosity
- no scars or GA - but can’t obtain a lot of bone, good enough for perio surgery but not for OMFS

74
Q

isografts

A

genetically identical

75
Q

allografts

  • porcine derived
  • coralline calcium carbonate
78
Q

80
Q

mucogingival therapy

A

PD deficiency - black triangle, dental recessions

mostly aesthetic but can save important teeth for young people

81
Q

recession

A

the displacement of the gingival soft tissue margin apical to the CEJ which results in exposure of the root surface
- inevitable after successful HPT - can look worse when inflammation resolved in a true pocket
free gingiva, attached gingiva, mucogingival jct

82
Q

recession aetiology

A

inflammatory process
- PDD
- gingival biotype
mechanical/physical factors

83
Q

recession aetiology - mechanical/physical factors

A

vigorous brushing/hard bristles/horizontal scrubbing - pts with good OH
traumatic incisal relationship can cause stripping of the gingival tissues
trauma from foreign bodies e.g. lower lip piercings
prominent teeth out of alignment of the arch esp if there is a thin gingival biotype overlying the dehiscence
aberrant frenal attachments due to an apical pull on the gingival tissues
high frenal attachments (close to the gingival margin) making OH difficult therefore leading to a localised PD problem and subsequent recession
iatrogenic damage caused by Rx tx which involves placement of subgingival margins of Rxs can directly impinge on the biologic width
ortho tx not respecting amount of the width of the dental alveolus

84
Q

Q

recession - types of grafts

A

free soft tissue graft
pedicle gingival graft - leave tissue partially attached at donor site
- rotational flaps: laterally positioned flap or double papilla flap
- advanced flap: coronally advanced flap or semilunar coronally repositioned flap

= usually use split thickness flaps (not down to periosteum) as can’t leave bare bone without periosteum - infection

96
Q

when is grafting needed for recession?

A

is the recession progressing?
is the tooth tx planned for ortho care or prosthetic tx?
is there root sensitivity?
is there difficulty cleaning the root surface by the pt?
aesthetic concerns?

97
Q

recession - CT graft

A

remove from elsewhere e.g. harvest from palate with 3-sided flap
can’t place it uncovered as would get infected so suture a flap over it
can use the tunnelling technique

98
Q

recession - FGG (free gingival graft)

A

if no surrounding keratinised tissue near
increase keratinised tissue around the teeth, implant or crown
remove from e.g. hard palate

99
Q

recession - disadvantages of FGG

A

aesthetics not perfect
no pedicle - graft has no blood supply through the vessels during the first week
- increased risk of failure - necrosis
- graft needs to be v secure (not moving at all) to allow revascularisation

100
Q

recession - coronally advanced flap with CT graft

A

split thickness pedicle flap
remove surface epithelium coronal to the pedicle flap to expose the underlying CT. Graft tissue
coronally reposition the pedicle flap and suture it over the recession defect

101
Q

recession - double papilla rotational flap

A

incisions over papilla either side of the recession defect to raise a split thickness pedicle flap
pedicle flaps sutured together over the recession defect

102
Q

recession - laterally repositioned pedicle flap

A

initial incision through the surface epithelium around the recession defect
surface epithelium dissected away to leave exposed CT on the mesial aspect which is now prepared to receive graft tissue
amount of tissue required is measured and a split thickness flap is raised on the distal aspect of the root surface
tissue laterally repositioned over the recession defect and the exposed CT on mesial side of root
suture, exposed CT at donor site left to heal by secondary intention

103
Q

semilunar coronally repositioned flap

A

semilunar shape, brought down over recession defect
