Q

Reattachment

A

To attach again The reunion of epithelial and connective tissue with a root surface following separation by incision or physical injury (not by disease). Not to be confused with new attachment.

Q

New Attachment

A

The union of connective tissue or epithelium with a root surface that has been deprived of its original attachment apparatus. This new attachment may be epithelial adhesion and/or connective adaptation or attachment and may include new cementum. i.e. DISEASED

Q

Regeneration

A

Reproduction or reconstitution of a lost or injured part in a manner similar or identical to its original form. In periodontics, refers to the formation of new bone, cementum, and a functionally-oriented periodontal ligament at a site deprived of its original attachment apparatus. In edentulous spaces, refers to the surgical augmentation of a resorbed ridge.

Q

Atraumatic Tissue Management

A

Sharp, smooth incisions and dissection Adequate flap release Conserve vascular supply Keep it wide at base (2:1 width to height) Avoid - overthinning, excessive flap tension, perforation/tears Don’t desiccate the flap and bone, keep them well hydrated

Q

Infections Post-surgically

A

1% infection rate post-surgery (<1% without, 2% with antibiotics) Pack & Haber, 1983 4.2% of 498 cases No difference if bone removed or teeth ext. Quad surgeries infected more often then sextant No difference between group with prophylactic antibiotics and those without BL: low rate of infection following periodontal surgery; use of antibiotics to prevent infection not warranted

Q

Surgical Hemostasis

A

Preoperative Medical history Medications/coagulation disorders Intraoperative Pressure Vasoconstrictors Local agents Surgicel, Avitene, topical thrombin, HemCon (chitosan), bone wax, Gelfoam Bovie

24
Q

Blood loss during surgery

A

134 ml, mean blood loss from periodontal flap surgery (range 16-592ml) Duration of surgery and amount of anesthetic used correlated with blood loss Mand surg ~151 ml Max surg ~ 110 ml

25
Q

Post op hemostasis

A

rest wound stability Tranexamic acid

26
Q

Surgical Principles Atraumatic Suturing

A

Small needle/fine suture Select suture with less tissue reactivity Use least number as is necessary Minimize flap tension Place in keratinized tissue when possible Take adequate “bite” of tissue

27
Q

Surgical Principles Obliterate Dead Space

A

Attain hemostasis Primary closure Flap pressure

28
Q

Pain Management Preoperative Assessment

A

medical / dental history past response to surgery/analgesics substance abuse

29
Q

Pain Management Preemptive measures

A

administer analgesic 1-2 hrs prior long acting local anesthetics

30
Q

Pain Management Postop care

A

appropriate analgesics Motrin 800mg x 40 tabs, take 1 tab q8h prn pain Tylenol 500mg x 40 tabs, take 2 tabs q6-8h prn pain Tylenol #3 x 12 tabs, take 1 tab q4-6h prn pain Others..Percocet, Norco, Ultram……

31
Q

Stress Management

A

Patient - provider rapport Profound anesthesia Consider IV or oral sedation

32
Q

Quiescent Wound Healing

A

Wound Stabilization Flap adaptation / hemostasis Appropriate suturing technique Avoid post-operative trauma limit oral hygiene delay suture removal periodontal dressing? Optimize infection control

33
Q

Wound Stability

A

0-1 d - Fibrin linkage and clot adhesion - weak strength 3d - Granulation tissue - weak 14 D - Epithelial attachment and collagen adhesion - mod strength 21 d Maturation of CT and Cementum Formation - strong

34
Q

Wound stability of full thickness flaps/sutures in dogs

A

2-3 d 225 gms flap separation 7 d 340 gms flap separation 14 d 1,700 gms suture pull through 1, 4, 6 mo 1,700 gms suture pull through

35
Q

Types of incisions

A

External bevel Internal bevel Sulcular Releasing Thinning (dissecting) Stepback Cutback Periosteal release

36
Q

External Bevel

A

Coronally directed Gingivectomy

37
Q

Internal Bevel

A

–Apically directed

–Inverse bevel

–Reverse bevel

38
Q

Sulcular incisions

A
39
Q

Vertical Releasing locations

A

•Unfavorable

–Interdental

–Midfacial

•Favorable

–Line angles

40
Q

Vertical Releasing advantages

A

–Increase access

–Avoid non-diseased sites

–Eliminate flap tension

–Allows flap positioning

41
Q

Vertical Releasing contraindications

A

–Distal to second molars

–Exostoses

–Mandibular concavities

42
Q

Flap design considerations

A

–Anatomical constraints

–Blood supply

–Tissue morphology

–Required access

–Degree of flap mobility required

–Final flap position

43
Q

Flap design

A

To maintain adequate blood supply to the flap the ratio of flap height to flap base should not exceed 2 to 1.

44
Q

Full thickness flap

A

Elevation of entire soft tissue complex

45
Q

Full thickness advantages

A

–Increased visibility

–Access to alveolar bone

–Easier, quicker procedure

46
Q

Full Thickness disadvantages

A

–Exposure of root dehisence/fenestration

–More alveolar bone loss?

47
Q

Split Thickness flap

A

Elevation of only the superficial epithelialized portion of soft tissue leaving the periosteum intact

48
Q

Split Thickness advantages

A

–Does not expose root dehisence/fenestrations

–Reduced alveolar bone loss

–Leaves a soft tissue bed for graft placement

49
Q

Split Thickness disadvantages

A

–Not indicated in areas of thin tissue

–More technically demanding and time consuming

–Risk of perforation

50
Q

Flap Reflection “Mopuse hole”

A
  • Don’t “mouse hole”
  • Increases surgical trauma
  • Poorer visibility
  • Inadequate debridement
  • Increased operator fatigue/frustration
