Surgical Principles Flashcards
What advantages are offered by surgical treatment? (5)
a. ACCESS- primary objective
b. Modification of osseous defects
c. Repair or regeneration of the periodontium
d. Pocket Reduction
e. Provide acceptable soft tissue contours
What are the contraindications of surgery (4)
a. Uncontrolled medical conditions
b. Poor plaque control
c. High caries risk
d. Unrealistic patient expectations
What is the infection rate with perio surgery
4.4% - Checchi
According to Rose/Mealey, what is the single most important surgical principle?
blood supply must be maintained
3 Major branches of external carotid artery most important for the oral cavity
Maxillary
Facial
Lingial
Distance of the greater palatine neurovascular bundle in Shallow, Average, and Deep Palate
a. Shallow: 7mm
b. Average: 12 mm
c. Deep: 17m
-REISER study (measured from crest)
What are the number of days until Connect Tissue (CT) and Epithelial maturation?
CT: 21 - 28 days (Why we like to wait to remove sutures so we have the most flap strength)
Epithelial: 28 - 42 days
Where do you never place a releasing incision
Over a root prominence
What are the contraindications to gingivectomy
- Narrow zone of Keratinized Tissue
- Defect present amenable with regeneration
- Risk of root exposure and esthetic considerations
- Intrabony defects
- PD past MGJ
- Unfavorable anatomical characteristics
- High caries index
- Thermal sensitivity
First means to obtain hemostasis?
Direct pressure on the flap for 5 minutes
What are the types of absorbable sutures?
a. Plain gut
b. Chromic gut
c. Vicryl
d. Monovicryl
What is the advantage of double continuous sling suture?
Allows for apical positioning and facial and lingual flaps to be closed independently
What are the considerations of suture removal?
If sutures are no longer stabilizing the wound
What are the indications for surgery
- Access
- Modification of Osseous Defects
- Repair or Regenerate Periodontium
- Removal calculus
- Remove persistent disease
- Gingival Enlargement
- Implant Surgery
- Perio Plastic Surgery
What is the advantage of a shallow sulcus
Maintainable
Long Term stability
What are the 3 types of wound healing
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
