Periodontics Final Flashcards
Localized tissue death
Tissue necrosis
Rapidly escalates and can produce loads of periodontal attachment within days
Necrotizing periodontal disease
A gray layer of tissue that covers the necrotic areas of the gingiva
Pseudomembrane
Tissue death
Necrosis
Main symptom of necrotizing periodontal disease
Very painful
Predisposing factors of Necrotizing periodontal disease
- Compromised hot immune response
- poor oral self-care
- Emotional stress
- Increased level of personal stress
- Inadequate sleep, fatigue
- Alcohol consumption
- Smoking
- Pre-existing periodontal disease
Main age in industrialized countries for necrotizing periodontal disease is _____ - _____ years
22-24
Mucogingival conditions are assessed through clinical examination for:
A) recession
B) Fredum pulling on the gingiva
C) width of the attached gingiva
To calculate the width of the attached gingiva at a specific site, measure the width of the gingiva and ______ the probing depth from the total width.
Subtract
gingival thickness and keratinized tissue width
Phenotype
A term that describes common clinical variations in the thickness and width of the facial keratinized tissue
Gingival phenotype
A term that describes individual differences in bone and soft tissue that make up the periodontium as well as tooth form
Periodontal biotype
3 main biotypes
- Thin scalloped biotype
- Thick flat biotype
- Thick scalloped biotype
Slender triangular shaped tooth crowns
Clear, thin, delicate tissue
Thin scalloped biotype
Square-shaped tooth crowns
Thick, fibrotic gingiva
Thick flat biotype
Slender (rectangular) tooth crowns
Thick fibrotic gingiva
Thick scalloped biotype
Interproximal loss of clinical attachment and exposed root and CEJ
Gingival recession
Most common mucogingival deformity
Gingival recession
