Q

Most traditional systems are based on tooth mortality

Q

Q

the 4 main criteria and 2 additional factors for the evaluation of individual teeth

A

PERO

  1. Periodontal condition and alveolar bone support
  2. Endodontic condition
  3. Restorability, remaining sound tooth structure
  4. Occlusal place and tooth position including… anatomical irregularities and Iatrogenic compromising factors

Q

Hirschfeld and Wasserman 1978

Patients?
outcome being measured?
prognostic categories?
Cons of this study?

A

600 w/ 75% severe
Tooth loss
Favorable or questionable (not very precise!)

23
Q

Hirschfeld and Wasserman 1978 called a tooth questionable if

A

furcation, deep pockets, extensive bone loss, or mobility of 2 or 2.5-

This seems too specific to care about tho

24
Q

Hirschfeld and Wasserman 1978: Higher % of teeth with a “?” prognosis were lost in Well- maintained group – means it had high predictive value, but only for this group…

what is the problem here?

A

Classification is too simple I guess? who knows

**I WOULD KNOW THIS

25
Q

Becker, Berg and Becker 1984

did a study on two groups… what were they? How did they classify their prognoses?

A

Those who were attending for maintenance and no maintenance with 3 prognostic categories (good, questionable, hopeless)

26
Q

Becker, Berg and Becker 1984

Like Hirschfeld, this system predicted _____ correctly in pts but did not predict well in ______ maintained patients

A

well- maintained

poorly

**point is predicting teeth with a good prognosis that are well maintained is not hard

27
Q

For each study, what types of prognosis were easy (made accurately) and which were more difficult

A

Good and poor were easy to make, fair,poor, and questionabe were hard! (as were non maintained)

28
Q

the purpose of this lecture

A

We suck at prognosis and you should just not take teeth out and they will survive, or they might not, but who really gives a shit anyways according to this guy

29
Q

McGuire and Nunn

patients, # of classes of prognoses? What was different about this? What are the classes of classification?

A

Patient group is TREATED-ALL Prognoses were developed AFTER Therapy

5 classes- which are Good, fair, poor, questionable, and hopeless. We use this at MUSoD!!!

**KNOW ALL OF THIS

30
Q

Worse according to the literature… poor or questionable?

A

Questionable, but he was really worked up about this

31
Q

What do lost teeth mean in studies?

A

Apparently not much because they do not fall out of peoples head’s someone must use judgement and pull them out

32
Q

Prognoses for ___ rooted teeth were more reliable than for ___ rooted teeth

A

Single

Multi

**KNOW THIS

33
Q

In these studies, how was the prognosis of good prognosis teeth

A

Long-term prognosis was reasonably predictable in teeth listed as having a good prognosis post perio tx

34
Q

Seven factors probably should carry more weight when determining an individual tooth prognosis

according to McGuire… Thus at MUSoD thus probably should know :(

A

Increased PD

Severe FURCATION involvement

Greater MOBILITY

Unsatisfactory CROWN/Root ratio

Malposed teeth

Smoking

Teeth used as fixed ABUTMENTS

35
Q

in McGuire

When “Good” prognosis was excluded, the predictive value dropped to ____%

A

50%

36
Q

In the presence of furcation, teeth were ____ as likely to be lost

A

twice

**KNOW THIS

37
Q

Without hemisection or amputation, Hirschfeld reported loss of nearly ___ of the teeth originally diagnosed as furcation involvement

A

1/3

dumb

38
Q

Other reports showed with non-surgical maintenance, ___% of molar teeth can be maintained over 5-24 yrs

A

85%-this is very inconsistent….

39
Q

Smoking on prognosis….

A

always worsens it…duh

40
Q

Consider 4 aspects of Prognosis….

A

Periodontal
Endodontic
Implant
Prosthetic

41
Q

End results of each

Good prognosis –

Questionable prognosis –

Hopeless prognosis –

A

maintained

retreated

extracted

42
Q

Stable situation (BoP, CAL, PD) DEFINE

A

no BoP, no further CAL, residual PD ≦5 mm

**KNOW THIS

43
Q

Further disease activity classified as (PD etc.)

A

residual PD ≧6 mm and additional CAL

44
Q

Mobility and furcation involvement together

A

can be deadly

45
Q

After successful periodontal treatment, teeth with reduced periodontal support are capable of serving as foundations for single crowns or as abutments for FDPs, however, which are most likely to be lost?

A

maxillary molars and resected mandibular molars with retained mesial roots are the teeth most likely to be lost

46
Q

teeth most likely to be lost as abutments

A

maxillary molars and resected mandibular molars with retained mesial roots

47
Q

Positive for the IL-1 genotype means what

A

RISK

48
Q

From a restorative perspective, the amount of remaining _______ is critical for the strategic value of an abutment

A

coronal tooth substance

**KNOW THIS

49
Q

Are most failures due to endo or pros? What %s

A

60% pros and 32% endo he says (seems bias-about everything)

50
Q

Patient group of McGuire and Nunn

A

Only treated patients (prognosis was guessed after)

51
Q

Study we use at school for perio prognosis and year it was done-no this is not a joke

A

McGuire and Nunn-1996

52
Q

Kwok and Caton year and what did they use

A

2007-used patient level factors such as compliance and local factors such as periodontal disease

-this one is probably the least important study

53
Q

Becker, Berg, Becker
Year?
Prognosis Classifications?

A

1984- used 3: good, questionable, hopless

54
Q

Hirschfield and Wasserman
Year?
Prognosis used?

A

1978

only used favorable and questionable-which was TOO SIMPLE
