Surgical & Nonsurgical Principles of Perio-Dr. Paquette Flashcards
1
Q
Critical Pocket Depths
A
- surgical intervention:
- > 5mm →Clinical attachment gain
- Don’t do on pockets <5mm= clinical attachment loss
- SRP:
- < 4mm→clinical attachment gain
- don’t do on pockets >3
*
- don’t do on pockets >3
- < 4mm→clinical attachment gain
2
Q
Gingival Curretage
A
- invert gracey curettes
- cutting edge towards pocket lining
- removal of pocket epithelium and underlying CT
- remove inflamed granulation tissue
- Not used bc SRP does it
- remove inflamed granulation tissue
3
Q
What are the Nonsurgical Therapy options?
A
- Scaling
- Root Planing
4
Q
What is the rationale behind Scaling & Root Planing
A
- Restore Periodontal Health
- Arrest the progression of further destruction
5
Q
Restore Periodontal Health
A
- Remove elements that cause inflamattion
- plaque biofilm
- calculus
- endotoxin
- Shift composition of sub gingival plaque
- Gram (-) → Gam (+) facultative organisms
- Reduce:
- spirochetes,
- motile rods
- putative pathogens
- Increase:
- Streptococci
- Reduced Clinical Inflammation
6
Q
Scaling and Root Planing
A
- Not separate procedures
- same principles & techniques
- Enamel Deposits
- scaling
- Root surfaces
- scaled and/or root planed
7
Q
What is the therapeutic Goal or Objective of Scaling and Root Planing?
A
- Create biologically compatible root surface
- resolve inflammation
- Decrease pocket depth
- improve or maintain CAL
- Facilitating patient oral hygiene procedures
- prepare periodontal tissues for surgical procedures
8
Q
Disadvantages of Nonsurgical Therapy
A
- Incomplete root preparation
- plaque and calculus removal
- can’t reach all areas
- Root damage
- due to over instrumentaiton
- Requires more time
9
Q
Advantages of Surgical Therapy
A
ACCESS!
- Visual and mechanical access
- Plaque, biofilm and calculus
- 1-2 mm from bone
- in infrabony defects, furcations, root concavities
- Plaque, biofilm and calculus
- Access to bone for respective procedures (osseous surgery)
- restore physiological (positive) architecture
- Ostectomy
- Osteoplasty
- Access to place regenerative Materials
10
Q
ostectomy vs osteoplasty
A
- Ostectomy
- removal of supporting bone
- Osteoplasty
- removal of non-supporting bone
11
Q
Timing of the Surgical Phase of Perio Therapy
A
- Soft tissue response to initial therapy (SRP) has been assessed
- Evaluation of initial therapy (EIT) or reevaluation
- 4-6 wks
- Evaluation of initial therapy (EIT) or reevaluation
- Patient compliance
- Plaque accumulation ≤ 20%
- General Motivation
- Patient/dentist relationship already exists
12
Q
What is the rationale for the surgical phase of perio therapy?
A
- control or eliminate perio disease
- Correct anatomic conditions that favor:
- perio progression
- impair esthetics
- impede placement of prosthetic appliances
- Improve prognosis, function, and esthetics:
- eliminate pathologic changes in pocket walls
- create a stable, maintainable state
- Promote regeneration
- Place implants to replace teeth
- improve environment for placement and function
13
Q
What are the critical zones in perio surgery?
A
- Soft tissue wall of the pocket
- tooth surface
- underlying bone
- attached gingiva
14
Q
Anatomic considerations of Alveolar bone
A
- 2mm away from CEJ
- Scalloped appearance
- mimics scalloping of gingiva
- Dehiscence
- Fenestration
15
Q
Anatomical Considerations in Perio Surgery
A
- Osseous structures
- Vascular supply
- innervation
- musculature
- anatomic spaces
