Root planing review Flashcards
why go subg on cleaning
PD = 6 pockets with subg calculus + attachment loss
if we clean it out and get a smooth root it will improve PD and gingival health
PD = 6mm, no attachment loss, gingival inflammation. supra and subg calculus and plaque
how do we treat
it’s a pseudo pocket - gingival inflammation
only subg scaling, no root planing because no attachment loss
the subg microenvironment common to pseudo and true pockets
in true pockets only?
bacterial biofilm
calculus
chronically inflamed pocket wall(soft tissue)
destructive host response
in true pockets only;
altered (diseased) root cementum
apical migration of attachment apparatus
bone loss
in true pocket we remove cementum
plaque, calculus, and diseased cementum in etiology/pathogenesis
periodontal disease = +
bacterial plaque + susceptible host
calculus is not a _ or _ irritant
it is _ retentive
calculus is not a mechanical or chemical irritant
it is plaque retentive
diseased cementum

host response
methods to alter the subg microenvironment
first we _
Nonsurgical treatment first
Then surgical
Every patient have to go to nonsurgical treatment first even if we know that from the beginning
We do this because - with inflammation or fluid filled tissue we can’t control our incision and surgical procedures
Smoking is a risk factor
All of this is controlling subgingival microenvironment
- caries control
- replacing defective restorations
- subg instrumentation
- local chemother
- surgical correction of gingival deformities
- strategic extractions
- smoking cessation
- orthodontics
subg instrumentation rationale
mechanically alter the subg ecosystem by removing ,,_
promote health associated host-response- adjunctive treatment alternatives
remove plaque remove plaque and retentive factors remove diseased surfaces (soft tissue- currettage) (hard tissue - root planing)
curettage is soft or hard tissue
soft tissue removal
not a code anymore - it happens by itself if you are root planning
root planing is soft or hard tissue
hard tissue
removing cementum
what defines the technique for subg instrumentation
treatment rationale does
NOT instrument
a treatment procedure designed to remove cementum or surface dentin that is rough, impregnated with calculus, or contaminated with toxins or microorganisms
root planing
instrumentation of the crown and root surfaces of the teeth to remove plaque, calculus and stains from these surfaces
subgingival scaling
scaling vs root planing
goal - remove deposits
scaling
need to use curettes(rounded tip of blade) not regular scalers (will tear soft tissue)
scaling vs root planing
goal - modify root surface
root planning
scaling vs root planing
supra/subg
wedging stroke
scalers,rotaries, ultrasonics and curettes
may be performed in gingivitis and periodontitis
scaling
scaling vs root planing
subgingival
shaving stroke
curettes, rotaries and ultrasonics
performed in periodontitis only patients
root planing
healing after SRP steps
repair
reattachment
new attachment
regeneration
repair - some healing, tissue will heal not exactly what it was before but healthy
reattachment -
New attachment = on clean root planned surface
True new attachment - 3 different types of tissue forming PDL, cementum, bone
If you don’t nonsurgical treatment (scallign and root planning)- not true new We usually get just long junctional epi (long JE is Tx outcome)
regeneration - everything from scratch
at least 4 week to re-eval and SRP again
