33
Q

when performing perio regeneration, the flap must cover what?

A

regenerative material through a coronally positioned flap or replaced flap

42
Q

all bone grafts serve as a what for new bone?

43
Q

objective of placing bone grafts?

A

for them to be resorbed and allow for replacement with new host bone

44
Q

osteogenic materials have what that can produce bone?

A

progenitor cells

45
Q

osteoinductive materials induce what?

A

54
Q

autogenous bone graft (autograft)

A

tissue transferred from one position to another within the same individual

55
Q

cancellous bone (e.g. illiac crest)

56
Q

intraoral sites to harvest autograft material

Q

what is used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) for ridge augmentation prior to implant placement?

A

platelet rich plasma (PRP)

62
Q

enamel matrix proteins (Emdogain) induces what?

A

new cementum formation and may play a role in bone and PDL formation

63
Q

barriers used in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) are membranes that exclude what?

A

epithelium and gingival CT

64
Q

role of barriers in GTR?

A

create and maintain space for regeneration and promote migration of progenitor cells from the PDL and possibly bone

65
Q

when is guided tissue regeneration (GTR) best in?

A

grade 2 facial or lingual (not proximal) furcations and bony defects where space making between the membrane and the tooth is possible

A

for root coverage

71
Q

T/F: coronally positioned flap can change the width of keratinized gingiva

A

false, can’t

72
Q

T/F: free gingival graft (FGG) is a simple, predictable procedure for gaining keratinized tissue

A

true

73
Q

survival of the graft in free gingival graft (FGG) depends on what?

A

plasmatic (diffusion from the underlying periosteum) until revascularization occurs

74
Q

why are free gingival grafts (FCC) not indicated in esthetic zones?

A

they do not have a good color match and look like patches

75
Q

which procedure is the most indicated procedure for root coverage and provide thicker dense fibrous CT that resist continued recession?

A

subepithelial CT (CT)

76
Q

why are subepithelial CT (CT) more likely to survive over avascular roots?
