Test 3 Flashcards
Anything deeper than ___ mm is too deep for scalers and curettes to clean during SRP
4 mm
7 factors that make SRP difficult
- Probing depth >5 mm
- Furcations
- Root Proximity
- Root Flutings
- CEJ Relationship
- Restorations
- Bony defects
Name 6 locations where locally delivered antimicrobials might be effective
- Pockets of greater than or equal to 5 mm
- maint. pts with isolated PD of 5-6 mm
- Early stage perio abscesses
- PD at DF line angle of 2nd molars related to 3rd molar extractions
- Failing implants
- Furcations
Name 3 types of locally delivered antimicrobials and main ingredient
- PerioChip - CHX
- Atridox - Doxyclycline
- Arestin** - Minocycline
Which locally delivered antimicrobial is easiest to use and longest lasting?
Arestin - 28 days, preloaded cartridge
Describe the characteristics a locally delivered antimicrobial must have for efficacy. 1. ____ or ____ the appropriate target microbes. 2. Reach the disease ____. 3. Achieve adequate _____ for effectiveness. 4. Achieve appropriate _____ of effect. 5. Have few ___ ___ and or cause no harm to the patient.
Inhibit or kill Site Concentration Duration Side effects
How does low dose doxy affect the pathogenesis of perio disease?
Inhibits cytokines, prostanoids & MMPs (Inflammation) therefore stopping CT and bone metabolism
How does locally delivered antimicrobials affect the pathogenesis of perio disease?
Inhibits microbes, antigens, LPS, virulence factors therefore decreasing host immuno-inflammatory response (microbes reappear in 9-11 weeks)
What kind of pocket change can you expect to see with SRP alone?
(Deeper the pocket, greater the change)
About 2 mm (possibly 3 in ideal situations)
(studies show on avg its 1.23 reduction and .81 change in CAL) IDK
What common antibiotic can you not drink alcohol while taking?
Metronidazole ( 250 mg 3x daily)
6 advantages to systemic antibiotics
- affects bacterial reservoirs
- Targets multiple sites of infection
- Reduces chair time required to tx pts
- absorbs into soft tissues adjacent to infected site
- penetrates to base of infected pocket
- wide choice of different antibiotics
11 disadvantages to systemic biofilms
- Allergy
- GI intolerance / nausea
- Patient compliance
- potential for drug interaction
- Cost to patient
- Inability to penetrate an intact biofilm
- Bacterial resistance
- Photosensitivity
- Decreases effect of BC
- Esophagitis
- Candidiasis
What 2 situations call for systemic antibiotics?
- Patient with aggressive perio disease (younger pts)
2. pts with GENERALIZED SEVERE perio disease (not localized)
5 reasons for SRP failure
- pt non-compliance
- inability to penetrate infection
- inability to eradicate source of infection
- cost to pt
- inability to penetrate intact biofilm
At re-evaluation, what 11 things do you look for in the clinical evaluation?
- visual examination (color, contour, consistency, texture of gingiva)
- PD
- GR
- CAL
- plaque control
- BOP
- mucogingival defects
- furcation involvements
- mobility/fremitus
- occlusion
- caries
