Surgery In Periodontal Disease_23rd April 2018_8am Flashcards
What are the types of periodontal surgerY?
- Resective
- Access flap
- Periodontal regeneration (previously known as guided tissue regeneration)
- Mucogngival
- Implant
What does periodontal regeneration invovle?
- Placing a barrier into the defect
- Barrier prevents growth of epithelial or gingival CT into defect
- Allows bone, PDL and cementum to repopulate defect instead
What sort of bony defects can guided tissue regeneration be done in?
- Angular defects (the more walls the defect has the better the prognosis)–>3 wall good, 2 wall decent, 1 wall hopeless
- Can not be done in horizontal defects as these are pretty much zero wall defects
-Also dependant on size of defect, technical difficulties (e.g. if 7/8 affected), predictability (e.g. medically compromised elderly patient)
Which type of cementum can regenerate?
AEC
What is the turnover rate of:
- Epithelial cells
- Gingival Ct cells
- PDL cells
- Bone cells
- Epithelial cells: hours to days
- Gingival Ct cells: days to weeks
- PDL cells: days to weeks
- Bone cells: weeks to months
What are the outcomes when the following are the main cell types proliferating into a periodontal defect?
- Gingival CT
- Epithelial cells
- Alveolar bone
- PDL
- Gingival CT: root resorption
- Epithelial cells: long junctional epithelium (happens after normal scale/clean)
- Alveolar bone: ankylosis (if lots of bone)
- PDL: Tissue regeneration
What features do you aim for in the periodontal healing response?
- Shrinkage of pocket
- New collagen formation in gingiva
- Long junctional epithelium or if very deep periodontal regeneration
Define:
Repair
Reattachment
New attachment
Repair: healing by resorption and ankylosis
Reattachment: Reunion of previous existing fibres that have been torn (e.g. replanting tooth evulsed by trauma, keep it in milk and reattach within 24 hours)
New attachment: (true regeneration) formation of new collagen fibres that embed into newly formed cementum
What materials are used for periodontal regeneration?
Bone grafts: Facilitates formation of new bone
*Bone grafts purpose is to achieve osteoinduction (causes alterations in molecular biology which results in new cell formation depositing new bone). However, whether what is formed really is bone is up for debate–>confirmed with Kaur in person
Membranes: covers the defect after putting bone graft in to prevent the granules from coming out, also plays a role in regeneration by creating a barrier, thus causing defect area to be repopulated with bone, PDL and cementum NHrather than epithelial cells
Growth factors: Consist of stem cells that facilitate bone growth
What are the different types of bone grafts?
- Autogenous: harvested from patient
- Autollogous: harvested from same species
- Alloplastic: Bioactive glasses (Perioglas, Biogran)–>not often used anymore
- Xenografts: Bovine bone (Bio-Oss)–>has shown very good results
How is periodontal regeneration carried out?
What is the protocal re. membrane and graft usage?
How long should you wait before probing or scaling area?
- Anaesthetise
- Open flap
- Clean the area + remove granulation tissue
- Condition root surface with Pref-gel
- Take Bio-Oss and mix with patient’s blood and Emdogain (25mins 20 seconds)
- Place it into defect
- Place membrane (cut biogide into shape of defect)
- Suture
- Keep two weeks before removing sutures
- Wait 6 months before probing or scaling
- Membranes always used (for guided bone regeneration)
- Graft used with non-reinforced membranes
- Reinforced membranes do not require graft (GTAM Goretex does not require graft 24mins 25 seconds)
What type of membranes are there?
Note: Resorbable and non resorbable available
Xenograft: made from porcine (pigs) (Bio-gide)–>most commonly used, resorbable
Synthetic: Polyglycolic, polyactic (Vicryl)–>not used anymore
Gor-tex (GTAM): has reinforced wire, can be bent, but requirse a second surgery to remove as non-resorbable and risk of exposure to oral cavity even after very good packing which causes instant failure. However, as reinforced does not require use of graft
What are the different types of growth factors available?
Xenograft: Enamel matrix protein derived from porcine (Emdogain)–>most commonly used, comes with PrefGel which is used to condition bone beforehand
Autogenous: Platelet rich plasma, rich in PDGF–>not used often
Synthetic: rhBMP-2–>not used often
What are the expected clinical results (in terms of attachment, tissue gain and healing) with:
Perioglas/Bioglas
Bio-Oss/Biogide
Emdogain
Perioglas/Bioglas:
Attachment: 2mm decrease in PD/2mm gain in attachment
Tissue: No or little cementum, mostly long junctional epithelium and some CT attachment
Healing: 3-6 months for resorption, can improve up to 1 year
Bio-Oss/Biogide:
Attachment: 4mm decrease PD/3-4mm attachment gain
Tissue: Cementum, CT attachment, bone formed as well as long junctional epithelium
Healing: 12-18 months for graft to resorb, can improve up to 2 years
Emdogain:
Attachment: 4mm decrease PD/ 3-4mm attachment gain
Tissue: Cementum, CT attachment, bone formed as well as long junctional epithelium
Healing: Can improve up to 2-3 years
What is the difference between periodontal regeneration and guided bone regeneration?
-Periodontal regeneration tries to form PDL, cementum and bone (in areas where there is a tooth)
Bone regeneration only aims to form bone in bone deficient areas (normally for edentulous areas for pros)
However both use the same materials
