Reattachment and Osseous Flashcards
Repair
Healing that does not restore original ARCHITECTURE, FORM, or FUNCTION
Regeneration
Healing that restores original ARCHITECTURE, FORM and FUNCTION
Gingival Curettage
Removal of inflamed soft tissue lateral to the pocket wall
What is the goal of osseous surgery? Citation
Establish minimal or physiologic probing depth and create a gingival contour compatible with good self-performed oral hygiene (Barrington 1981)
What are the New Attachment procedures?
Gingival Curettage
ENAP
Modified ENAP
Modified Widman’s Flap
LANAP
How does Curettage impact clinical results? Citation
Echeveirra & Caffesse 1983
Split mouth - SRP and 4wks later Curettage
Did not improve - No additional benefit
AAP no longer considers it a treatment
What does ENAP stand for?
Excisional New Attachment Procedure
How do you perform ENAP? What is it similar to?
Internal bevel from FGM to just below the pocket
Remove with curette
Root plane exposed cementum
Approximate wound
Sutures and PERIO DRESSING
Gingival curettage with a scalpel

How does ENAP heal? Citation
Long Junctional Epithelium (Yukna 1976)
Fedi & Rosenfeld
ENAP modification
Instead of incising to just below the pocket - to bone crest
What is the goal of MWF?
Expose root suface for instrumentation - NOT pocket reduction
When is MWF indicated?
Esthetic zone
PD > 6mm
No pocket elimination needed
How do you perform a MWF? How does it change in esthetic zones? How is it modified on the palate? (Citation)
Primary incision: PD >2mm: 0.5-1mm from GM directed at alveolar crest - PD <2mm/Esthetic zone: Intrasulcular
Secondary incision: intrasulcular to detach the tissue
Tertiary incision: horizontal along the crest to remove the tissue
Palatally - directed more palatally to help with flap adaptation
Ramfjord & Nissle 1974
Healing after MWF? Citation
Caton 1980
LJE
What are the 3 incisions termed for MWF?
Primary/Internal bevel
Secondary/Crevicular
Tertiary/Interdental
What is LANAP?
Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure
What is the wavelength of Nd:YAG?
1064nm
What are the first and second pass settings in LANAP?
1965mJ/mm^2
1st: 4W; 100µs pulse duration; 20Hz
2nd: 4W; 600µs pulse duration; 20Hz
What is the objective of the first pass?
De-epithelialize the pocket (sparing CT)
Killing pigmented bacteria
What is the objective of the second pass?
formation of a dense fibrin clot for periodontal regeneration
What are the steps for LANAP?
1st pass
piezo
2nd pass
occlusal adjustment
Citations for LANAP
Nevins et al. 2012
Dortaj et al. 2021
Does LANAP result in regeneration? Citation
Some say yes
Nevins 2012 found 5/9 of LANAP teeth had regeneration
How does LANAP compare to other treatments?
Dortaj et al. 2021
NSSD between SRP alone
When is osseous resective surgery indicated? Citation
Whenever the infra-osseous defect depth is <4mm or when a 1wall defect is present
(Ochesenbein 1986)
Osetoplasty goal/function
To create a physiologic form without removing supporting bone
Helps tissue adaptation
Osteoctomy goal
Elimination of intrabony pockets
What situations would you use osteoplasty?
Small buccal/lingual bony ledges
Incipient furcation involvement
When would you use osteoctomy?
shallow intrabony or hemiseptal defects
To remove reverse architecture
What is the difference between Infra/Intrabony defect? Citation
Goldman & Cohen 1958
Infrabony can be subdivided into intrabony (only 1 root surface involved) and crater (2 adjacent roots involved)
What is the most common defect?
Crater
Becker and Becker
What kind of defects are there?
Supra-bony (horizontal)
Infra-bony (vertical)
Inter-radicular (furcation)
Where are craters most commonly found? Why? Citation
posterior teeth
interdental area collects plaque
McGugh 1971
What is a circumfrential defect?
one that includes more than 1 tooth surface
Who is the father of osseous surgery?
Schluger
What instrument should you use for osteoctomy?
Hand instruments (Ochsenbein Files)
Ochsenbein 1958
What are the rules of osseous surgery?
1: Full thickness flap should be raised
2a: Scallop should aniticipate underlying bone contour
2b: Scalloping should reflect patient’s healthy gingiva
2c: Tissue/bone scalloping is reduced as interproximal space increases due to boneloss
3: Osteoplasty precedes ostectomy
4: Whenever possible - create positive architecture
5: no high speed next to teeth
6: final bone contour should reflect expected gingival contour
Steps for osseous recontouring
vertical grooving
Radicular blending/Flattening interproximal bone
Gradualizing marginal bone
What is the palatal approach?
Ochsenbein & Bohannan 1963
wider embrasure from divergence of palatal roots
Lingual approach?
Tibbets eet al. 1976
Defects in mandible tend to happen beneath contact which is lingually displaced
Buccal bone is usually higher - causes excessive removal of buccal bone to get to lingual
