Q

What are 2 disadvantages of free gingival graft?

A
  1. Not intended for root coverage

2. Less accurate color match

29
Q

What graft would be indicated in age of #6 or #11 with recession and why?

A

SECT due to esthetic zone will match color of overlying gingiva (FGG has tied-tread appearance and will be different color)

30
Q

What determines the phenotype of the overlying epithelium and how can this be used in gingival grafting?

A

Underlying CT. If you take the SECT from a keratinized portion of the palate, put it under mucose, allow to heal, then go back and abrade the mucosa. It will heal keratinized.

31
Q

What is a major concern when harvesting an autogenous graft from the palate?

A

Avoiding a greater palatine artery

32
Q

What direction is the first incision for the autogenous graft made?

A

Perpendicular to long axis of the tooth

33
Q

What is the average distance from the CEJ of the maxillary tooth to the bend in an average palate where the Greater palatine artery and nerve lie behind? High palate? Shallow?

A

Average 12mm
High 17mm
Shallow 7mm

34
Q

When taking an autogenous graft, how much should you take?

A

Take as much as you can get, patient will be uncomfortable with small or large donor sites

35
Q

Does graft thickness have an affect on healing?

A

Yes

36
Q

Do thicker grafts undergo more primary shrinkage at harvesting or more secondary contraction during healing?

A

More primary shrinkage at harvest and less secondary contraction during healing

37
Q

Which graft will required more time for revascularization: thick or thin?

A

Thicker

38
Q

What is the ideal graft thickness?

A

0.75 to 1.25mm

39
Q

What are 3 indications for soft tissue augmentation prior to ortho?

A
  1. Facial movement planned and les than 1 mm apicocoronal height of keratinized tissue
  2. Thin tissue
  3. Poor oral hygiene
40
Q

How can one tell that tissue is thin?

A

Root or probe is visible

41
Q

If a tooth with 0.0 mm of keratinized gingiva is orthodontically moved, how much keratinized gingiva will it have once moved?

A

0.0 mm

42
Q

What percent of the time will a tooth that has 0.0mm keratinized gingiva be associated with a cleft?

A

27%

43
Q

Is there enough risk of recession during tooth movement in a patient without an adequate amount of gingiva to justify pre-orthodontic augmentation of the gingiva?

A

Yes

44
Q

What increases the risk of susceptibility to recession when considering ortho?

A

Minimum buccal-lingual

45
Q

What is most likely present in an adolescent with a thin periodontium?

A

Fenestrationg and/or dehiscences

46
Q

When considering ortho and recession, the recession of the marginal tissue is dependent on the existence or creation of what?

A

Dehiscences of the alveolar bone

47
Q

What can be expected if a patient with minimal or no keratinized tissue undergoes ortho therapy without grafting and recession develops?

A

Litigation

48
Q

What is the goal of every dentist?

A

Maintenance of dentition in a state of optimal health, comfort and function with reasonable esthetics

49
Q

What must be discussed with recession, can be demonstrated to be progressive, and creates a concern for the dentist or the patient?

A

The need to create a broader band of attached gingiva

50
Q

What does the decision to perform surgery to create a broader band of attached gingiva demand?

A

Clinical judgement (that amount of gingiva which is sufficient to prevent recession in the opinion of the individual clinician)

51
Q

What are 6 factors that influence clinical judgment?

A
  1. Age / health of patient
  2. Volume of periodontium
  3. Prominence of root in the alveolus
  4. Tooth brushing habits
  5. Frenum attachments
  6. Period ob observation / evaluation of the area
52
Q

Is the presence or absence of keratinized gingiva a factor in the successful osseointegration of implant fixtures?

A

No

53
Q

What was strongly correlated with optimal sot and hard tissue health in the posterior mandible when considering implants?

A

Presence of keratinized gingiva

54
Q

What are 2 culprits in a substantial number of failures in long-term observations of dental implants?

A
  1. Poor oral hygiene

2. Inadequate keratinized gingiva

55
Q

What has been found to be true with regard to keratinized mucosa and its importance in avoiding complications, obtaining esthetic results in prosthetic rehabilitation of the anterior dentition for implant supported single or multiple unit prostheses with a submucosal implant prosthetic junction?

A

The implant should be surrounded by non mobile keratinized mucosa

56
Q

What does having keratinized tissue in the area of the implant aide?

A

Seals and protects CT and bone around the implant

57
Q

What are 3 things keratinized tissue around the collar of the implant does?

A
  1. Prevents trauma from plaque control procedures
  2. Facilitate maintenance by hygienist
  3. Facilitates impression-making
58
Q

How much keratinized tissue is required if a dentist plans a restorative procedure that enters the gingival crevice?

A
  1. Approximately 5.0mm keratinized tissue
  2. 2.0mm free gingiva
  3. 3.0mm attached gingiva
59
Q

What makes attached gingiva a better deterrent to the infiltration of inflammation elements?

A

Closely packed collagen fibers in attached gingiva

60
Q

In sites with a wide zone of keratinized gingiva, it was found that the inflammatory infiltrate was confined to what area?

A

The tooth side of the free gingiva

61
Q

What may occur if a sub gingival margin is placed in an area lacking narrow or no keratinized gingiva and sub gingival plaque accumulates?

A

Recession

62
Q

Studies showed what dimension of keratinized gingiva has increased gingival inflammation in the presence of a sub gingival restoration?
