Periodontics Part 4: Surgical Therapy Flashcards
Flap Design
- Wider base-adequate blood supply
- Incisions over intact bone– NOT over bondy defects or eminences
- Rounded Corners
- Vertical Releases at Line angles
- Avoid Vital Structures
Partial vs Full Thickness Flap
Partial Thickness Flap
* includes: Gingiva/mucosa, submucosa
* mucogingival surgery-unecessary to expose bone, leaves vascular bed intact
Full Thickness Flap
* Gingiva/mucosa, submucoa, periosteum
* osseous surgery & periodontal regeneration to permit primary closure
* exposes bone-expect 1mm of bone resorption and remodeling
Papilla Preservation Flap
=Papilla Preservation Flap:
* preserve the papilla
Dont want conventional flap
-splits papilla
Full thickness flap: what types of incisions are used
3 horizontal incisions:
internal or reverse bevel:
* 1 mm from gingival margin
* removes pocket lining, but preserves outer gingiva
Sulcular or crevicular
* through base of pocket to alveolar crest
interdental or interproximal
* removes tissue collar
Periodontal Pack
- consists of ZOE
placed for 1 week following surgery
protect surgical wound
minimize discomfort
maintain tissue placement
prevent post-op bleeding
* do NOT enhance healing
Gingival Surgery: Gingivectomy vs Gingivoplasty
Gingivectomy
* excision of suprabony pockets or enlarged gingiva
Gingivoplasty:
* excise gingiva to reshape tissue deformities
Gingival Surgery: Distal Wedge
FOR Pocket reduction
* Distal to terminal molars
* common after 3rd molar ext
Maxillary: Full thickness flap w/parallel incisions
Mandible: Full thickness flap w/v-shaped incisions
What are the different types of Mucogingival Surgery
- Free Gingival Graft
- Connective Tissue Graft
- Frenectomy
- Frenotomy
- Vestibuloplasty
Free Gingival Graft
to widen keratinized tissue
* Adds more attached gingiva
ADVANTAGES
Increase:
* esthetics
* Plaque Removal
Decrease:
* inflammation around abutment teeth and implants
What is the advantages of adding more attached gingiva with a Free Gingival Graft?
Increase:
* esthetics
* Plaque Removal
Decrease:
* inflammation around abutment teeth and implants
Connective Tissue Graft
Root Coverage
* occurs above gingival margin
Graft:
* palate
* Inner Connective tissue ONLY, (No epithelium)
Donor site requires enough attached gingiva
What is the most common donor site for Free Gingival Graft vs Connective Tissue Graft
Palate for BOTH!
Frenectomy
Complete removal of frenum
Frenotomy
Freenum Incision
- incision of Freenum
Vestibuloplasty
Deepen vestibule
What is the purpose of Osseous Surgery?
