OR PPD > or = 4mm & BoP

21
Q

Limitations of ‘closed’ RSD (5)

A
  1. May not stop progressive & aggressive disease completely
  2. Persistent acute episodes (e.g. perio abscess).
  3. Deep complex bone defects (difficult to debride adequately)
  4. Severe hyperplasia or tissue deformitly.
  5. Pathology e.g. epulides
22
Q

Aims of Periodontal Surgery (8)

A
  1. Gain access to root surface for effective debridement.
  2. Visulisation of bone defects.
  3. Improvement of tissue contour.
  4. Reduction in pocket depth.
  5. Removal of chronically inflamed tissue (granulation tissue).
  6. Encourage regeneration.
  7. Removal of hyperplastic gingival tissue.
  8. Crown lengthening.
23
Q

Indications for Gingivectomy (3)

A
  1. Hyperplasia; not going away with NSPT, remove tissue to improve aesthetics & improve pt’s ability to clean or function.
  2. False pockets -soft tissue growing coronally.
  3. Adequate attached gingiva -want to have some keratinised gingiva remaining after resection.
24
Q

Indications for Open Flap Debridement (1)

A

Deep persisent bleeding (suppurating) pockets.

25
Q

Indications for Apically Repositioned Flap (3)

A
  1. Pocket elimination
  2. Crown lengthening
  3. Unsuccessful gingivally encroaching restorations.
26
Q

Considerations before Periodontal Surgery (5)

A
  1. NSPT been undertaken and review appropriately?
  2. Pt suitable? (medically and emotionally).
  3. Do they understand the procedure?
  4. Is OH/compliance adequate?
  5. Has restorative strategy been considered?
27
Q

Signs of Successful Flap Surgery (9)

A
  1. Decrease in inflammation
  2. Less bleeding on probing.
  3. Decrease in pocket depth.
  4. Increase in attachment.
  5. Eliminate pus.
  6. No increase in mobility.
  7. Improvement in tissue contour.
  8. Stabilisation of bone levels.
  9. Regeneration (take radiograph 1 yr on).
