periodontics Flashcards
when can you NOT use an ultrasonic scaler
if patient had
infectious disease
heart problems
pacemakers
trouble swallowing
demineralized teeth
exposed dental material
Dental prophylaxis
A procedure indicated for patients with healthy gingiva and is a preventative measure where are your teeth cleaned
Scaling
Used to remove supragingival calculus from the tooth surface
root planning
Removes any remaining particles of calculus and necrotic cementum in bedded in the root surface
Gingival curettage
Scraping to remove subgingival calculus of the gingiva lining of a periodontal pocket
Tetracycline
Most useful antibiotic for the treatment of periodontitis
Fluoride mouth rinse
Using mouth rinse to fight. Until disease, reduces bleeding by delaying bacterial growth of the periodontal pocket.
Chlorhexedine
The most affective agent available to reduce plaque and gingivitis, must use twice daily
Incisional surgery
tissues are pushed away from the root with thorough scaling and root planning
Gingivectomy
Surgical removal of deceased, gingival, tissues
Gingivoplasty
The surgical reshaping and contouring of the gingival tissue
free gingival soft tissue graft
donor site is away from the graphted site
Osseous surgery
Removes defects and restore normal contours in the bone
Osteoplasty
bone is contoured and re-shaped, and sometimes added
Ostectomy
Removal of bone from the oral cavity
Crown lengthening
design to expose more root structure for placement of a restoration to maintain esthetics
Periodontal surgical dressing’s
A bandage over the surgical site used to hold flap in place to protect the new forming tissue
zinc oxide eugenol dressing
Is able to sit for a long time in advance slow set firm + heavy consistency
non-eugenol dressing
Most widely used type of periodontal dressing comes in the form of two tubes rapid set
what does laser stand for in periodontics?
Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation
Use of lasers on soft tissues
to remove tumours and lesions and vapourization of excess tissues, as in gingivoplasty, gingivectomy and frenectomy’s
advantages of laser surgery
Laser incisions heal faster
Les opportunity for contamination
Les, postsurgical, swelling, scarring in pain
Hamostasis is rapid
4 guidelines for laser safety
Shielded glasses
Matte- finished instruments
Protection of non-target, tissues
High volume evacuation
3 parts of an implants
titanium screw
abutment post
cover screw
3 steps to implanting an implant
initial placement - titanium for osseointegration
abutment screw us screwed in
abutment post ur cylinder is attached
occlusal equilibrium procedure
Adjustment of the patient’s spikes that the occlusion forces are equally distributed all over the teeth
