Quiz 6 Flashcards
Resective surgery
Procedures that simply cut away and remove some of the periodontal tissues
Osseous defect
A deformity in the tooth-supporting alveolar bone usually resulting from periodontitis
Relative contraindication
Condition that MAY make periodontal surgery inadvisable
Repair
Healing of a wound by formation of tissues that do not fully restore the original architecture or original function of the body part
Reattachment
To “attach again”
New attachment
The union of a pathologically exposed root with connective tissue or epithelium
Regeneration
The biological process by which the architecture and function of lost tissue is completely restored
Primary intention
Occurs when the wound margins or edges are closely adapted to each other
Secondary intention
Takes place when the margins or edges of the wound are not closely adapted
Tertiary intention
Healing of a wound from a dog bite
Periodontal flap
A surgical procedure in which incisions are made in the gingiva or mucosa to allow for separation of the surface tissues (epithelium and connective tissue) from the underlying tooth roots and alveolar bone
Flap elevation or reflection
Separating the surface tissues from the underlying tooth root and alveolar bone
Full-thickness flap
Provides complete access to the underlying bone when bone replacement grafting or periodontal regeneration procedures are anticipated
Blunt dissection
The full-thickness flap is elevated
Partial thickness flap
Describes elevation of only the epithelium and a thin layer of the underlying connective tissue rather than the entire thickness of the underlying soft tissues
Sharp dissection
Requires incising the underlying connective tissue in such a manner as to separate the epithelial surface plus a small portion of the connective tissue from the periosteum
Non displaced flap
A flap that is sutured with the margin of the flap at its original position in relationship to the CEJ on the tooth
Displaced flap
A flap that is sutured with the margin of the flap placed at a position other than its original position in relationship to the CEJ of the tooth
Horizontal incisions
Are directed along the gingival margins in a mesiodistal direction
Crevicular incision
A type of horizontal incision commonly employed during flap surgery, surgical scalpel blade is carefully placed into the gingival crevice and directed apically to the bone
Internal bevel incision
Surgical scalpel blade enters the marginal gingiva, but is not placed directly into the crevice. Enters gingiva approximately 0.5 to 1.0 mm away from the margin and follows general contour of the scalloped marginal gingiva
Vertical incisions
Run perpendicular or obliquely to the gingival margin in an apical-occlusal direction
Flap for access
Used to provide access to the tooth roots for improved root preparation
Open flap debridement
Periodontal surgical procedure quite similar in concept and execution to flap for access surgery
