Quiz Ch 14 Perio Flashcards
What is the incisional surgery commonly called
Periodontal flap surgery
Periodontal flap surgery is the choice when what cannot be performed for pocket reduction
excisional periodontal surgery
this procedure is called flap surgery becasue
the tissue are pushed away from the underlying tooth roots and alveolar bone, much like the flap of an envelope
The usual incisional technique for pocket reduction with flap surgery is called
The apically positioned flap
Why is it called the apically positioned flap
Because the flap is sutured at a more apical location on the tooth roots to reduce pocket depth
what has fewer contraindications than gingivectomy , so incisional procedures are the most common type of surgery performed by periodontists
Flap surgery
what are the primary indication for incisional surgery
deepened periodontal pockets
What kind of pockets are best treated by flap surgery
suprabony pockets
Flap surgery also allows access to
infrabony pockets
what are the few contraindication for periodontal flap surgery
*gingival tissues must be wide and thick enough to allow proper incision, often the incision must be modified to preserve as much keratinized tissue as possible
What are special modifications of pocket reduction surgery include
combinations of incisional and excisional techniques, such as distal wedge surgery and internal beveled gingivectomy.
what does the distal wedge procedure permits
adequate plaque control on the distal surface of the last tooth in the mandibular arch
the goal of access flap procedures is to what
provide access to the root surfaces for debridement and to create conditions for reattachment of the gingival tissue to the root
what is the modified Widman flap
the excisional new attachment procedure, and open flap curettage
What uses three incisions to separate the pocket lining from the tooth in a controlled manner, whereas the excisional new attachment procedure usually does not involve elevating the flap past the mucogingival junction
modified Widman flap
what are the goal for access flap procedures
to gain access to the root surface for plaque biofilm and calculus removal, including scaling and root planning.
pocket reduction by apical positioning is not the goal of what
access flap procedures
what is access flap procedures are used to treat
periodontal pockets in aesthetically sensitive areas or where pocket reduction is not desired or indicated
That procedure is when incisions are made through thee crest of the gingiva, and the gingival tissues are reflected only far enough to allow the clinician to see the root surfaces and the crest of the alveolar bone
Access flap techniques
what is the major goal of access flap techniques
is to reattachment of the connective tissues to the root surface during healing or creation of a long junctional epithelium resulting in increased attachment for the teeth.
contraindications for access flap procedures
pt should understand that pocket depths may continue to be greater than 3 or 4mm after therapy
by definition involves attachment loss of the connective tissue to the root surface of the tooth and loss of alveolar bone
Periodontitis
What does bone loss create around the tooth
osseous defects
what makes healing unpredictable and result in gingival architecture that is difficult for the pt to maintain with acceptable plaque biofilm control and difficult for the hygienist to maintain with periodic scaling and root planning
osseous defects
what is ostectomy
if the alveolar bone that contains periodontal fibers that support the tooth is removed
what is osteoplasty
if only bony ledges or nonsupporting bone are removed
what is the primary indications for osseous defects
when periodontal pockets that extend below the level of the osseous crest, or infrabony pockets.
this is a indication for osseous defects
thick bony ledges
what is a type of bone loss in which the interproximal bone is apical to the facial and lingual bone (the reverse of the configuration in health), permits periodontal pockets to re-form during healing
Reverse alveolar bony architecture
Areas of serve bone loss are often best treated by what
reducing pocket depths and performing frequent maintenance care
recession is a common finding among pts with
periodontal disease
recession can lead to extension of the periodontal pockets beyond the mucogingival junction so that no attached gingiva exists on the tooth surface, what are these areas called
mucogingival defects and have been implicated in the spread of periodontal disease into deeper tissues , although this role remains controversial
mucogingival defects may be developed by what
orthodontic tx
forceful toothbrushing
this includes a variety of periodontal plastic surgery procedures to augment the thickness of keratinized tissues, increase the zone of attached gingiva, improve gingival aesthetics by covering root surfaces, or augment edentulous spaces
Mucogingival surgery
how are the areas of recession tx
pedicle grafts or free mucosal grafts, althrough connective tissue grafts have been increasingly used
what should be considered for tissue-grafting
area of recession that significantly reduce the width of the keratinized gingiva or have progressed beyond the mucogingival junction
what is the most quoted idea for attached gingival tissue
3mm
what are some other indications for surgical intervention to control mucogingival problems
broad labial or lingual frenum attachments near the gingival margin that may result in unsightly diastemata and a shallow vestibular depth that must be deepened to improve the fit and retention of removable dental prostheses
what are the most common procedures for mucogingival defects
lateral pedicle gingival graft
free autogenous gingival graft
subgingival connective tissue graft
what type of graft is sliding of gingival tissue from an adjacent tooth or papilla, has been suggested as the best technique to attempt to cover exposed root surfaces bec it bring their blood supply with them
Lateral Pedicle Grafts
what are the limitations to pedicle grafts
depend largely on the availability of an adequate source of donor tissue adjacent to the area that needs augmentation
