Step 3 Flashcards
What is S3 quality level
evidence and consensus based guidelines
uses sytematic review & representative guideline groups
What does step 1 consist of
- control of local and systemic risk factors
- PMPR
What should we look at when re-evaluating step 1
- adherence and PPD >3mm means that we can progress to step 2
- lack of adherence means repeat step 1
What happens in step 2
- step 1 plus
- subgingival instrumentation in some cases with adjunctive measures
What adjunctive measures can be used in step 2
local/systemic AB
CHX rinse
What should we re-evaluate after step 2
- pocketing
- are there any residual pockets?
- if no, proceed to step 4
- if pockets >4mm, proceed to step 3
What do we do in step 3
- step 1 and 2 in residual pockets
- plus periodontal surgery
- only in cases with suitable px, tooth and defect factors
- in certain cases, repeated subgingival instrumentation
What do we re-evaluate at the end of step 3
- did we achieve our end point
- PPD </= 4mm with no BOP
What is step 4
- supportive care
- risk adapted intervals 3-12 months
- continous monitoring of local and systemic risk factors
- PMPR
When should systemic AB be used in periodontal tx
- not first line tx
- used in selected cases
- only allowed once combined with mechanical disruption of biofilm
What is the tx protocol for prescribing AB
- OH
- supragingival and subgingival PMPR of all sites indicated in pocket chart as quick as possible, within one week
- start antibiotic regimen on first morning of PMPR visit
What is the antibiotic regimen
400mg metronidazole TID for 7 days
can also give it with amoxycillin 500mg TID 7 days
Who is metronidazole contraindicated in
- warfarin - increases anticoag effect
- alcohol
- pregnancy
What are the advantages of local antimicrobials
reduced systemic dose
high local concentration
superinfection unlikely
drug interaction unlikely
site specific
px compliance not an issue as applied by health care provider
can utilize agents which cant be utilized systemically
What are the disadvantages of local antimicrobials
- expensive
- still require RSD or biofilm disruption
- limited indications
What are the indications for using local antiseptics such as periochip or chlorhexidine gel
- only persisting pockets >5mm
- always with RSD
- only in isolated pockets
- in cases of periodontal abscess - after evacuation of pus and RSD
What are examples of local antibiotic
- arestin - 1mg micocycline
- artidox - doxycycline
- elyzol - 25% metronidazole
What is open flap debridement
- intracrevicular incision made through base of gingival pocket and entire gingivae
- mucoperiosteal fullthickness flap used
- remove granulation tissue and instrument root surface
- flap replaced in original position
- no attempets to reduce preop depth of pockets
What is the post-op care for periodontal surgery
- reinforce mechanical plaque control
- post-op soft toothbrush for operated area
- CHX mouthwash 1-2 wks
- analgesia for a few days
- AB if indicated
- remove sutures after 1 wk
What is the purpose of gingivectomy
- reduction of gingival excess to facilitate plaque control, restorative dentistry and improve appearance
