Q

Why is it controversial to say that furcations may be the result of trauma from occlusion?

Q

Describe the “pathway of PD” according to the co-destruction theory

A

Proposed that inflammation is channeled into a pocket creating a new pattern where occlusion bears an influence on periodontal disease because it gets “channeled” to the PDL.

Q

Describe the “Advancing Plaque Front” Theory (Waerhaug)

A

Occlusal trauma has NO ROLE in the severity and pattern of inflammatory periodontal disease progression (says it is just a problem of advancing plaque front, not occlusion)

Q

In what way does trauma play a role in periodontal disease according to Dr. Claman?

A

Dr. Claman says that secondary causes pay a role in an already weakened periodontium, but occlusion does NOT play a major role as the cause…however, because trauma from occlusion effects treatment outcomes, it still needs to be addressed

Q

What are the signs and symptoms of TFO without Periodontitis?

A
  1. Injury results in acute (not plaque associated) inflammation (ie high restoration)
  2. PDL collagen destruction
  3. Cementum resorption
  4. Bone loss
  5. NO attachment loss
  6. Jiggling movement
  7. Adaption may occurL tooth may become mobile, but no further injury
22
Q

Describe Jiggling Movement/Forces in TFO without periodontitis

A
  • Movement with excursive movements, including jiggling back and forth
  • Jiggling causes injury to PDL and Cementum
23
Q

Describe “adaptation” in TFO without periodontitis

A

Mobility and widened PDL space, but no further injury

24
Q

Describe “occlusal therapy” for TFO without periodontitis

A

By occlusal reduction, splinting, or adding bite plates, there will NO longer be jiggling, with signs of occlusal trauma may diminish

25
Q

What are the 3 phases of TFO without periodontitis?

A
  1. Injury Phase: initiated by crushing force, lead to bone resorption increasing and bone apposition decreasing
  2. Repair phase: Bone absorption goes down and apposition does up
  3. Adaptation phase: No longer under trauma
26
Q

Describe the consequences of TFO on reduced periodontium without periodontitis

A
  • Reduced, but healthy, periodontium (weakened tooth)
  • TFO leads to breakdown of PDL -b/c of secondary occlusal trauma (weakened periodontium)
  • no further attachment loss
27
Q

Describe adaptation of reduced periodontium with TFO without periodontitis

A

Adaptation: mobility and widened PDL space

28
Q

What is the outcome of occlusal therapy in a tooth experiencing TFO on reduced periodontium without periodontitis?

A

Occlusal reduction may decrease the signs of occlusal trauma, but sometimes also need to splint to healthier teeth

29
Q

Describe the consequences of TFO with no inflammation in a tooth with previous attachment loss (reduced, but healthy)

A
  • Tooth adapts
  • No influence on course of periodontal disease
  • No further attachment loss
  • No co-destruction
  • Bone thickens
30
Q

What is the key to no co-destruction with TFO w/o inflammation on reduced periodontium?

A

Good oral hygiene….control of inflammation

31
Q

Describe TFO with Periodontitis but No Co-destruction

A
  • Injury from occlusion as well as Periodontal disease, however the 2 problems are occurring INDEPENDENTLY of one another
  • Do not potentiate each other
  • Destructive processes are occurring independently
32
Q

Describe adaptation to occlusal trauma in a tooth with supracrestal periodontitis

A

Widened PDL space and Thickened bone

33
Q

When should you perform occlusal therapy in a tooth with periodontitis?

A

NEVER PERFORM OCCLUSAL THERAPY UNTIL INFLAMMATION IS CONTROLLED….TX PERIODONTITIS FIRST!!!

34
Q

Why must you treat the periodontitis (control the inflammation) before performing occlusal therapy in a tooth experiencing both TFO and periodontitis?

A

Because the high occlusion may actually be being CAUSED by the inflammation, so if you drill first, you may be removing sound tooth structure for no reason

35
Q

Describe TFO with Periodontitis where Co-destruction occurs

A

Inflammation from periodontitis merges with the occlusal lesion and results in an ACCELERATED response.

36
Q

As far as location, how does a periodontal lesion in a tooth with co-destruction vs. no co-destruction differ?

A

-TFO & periodontitis w/o co-destruction = SUPRAcrestal periodontitis lesion
Vs.
-TFO & periodontitis w/ co-destruction = SUBcrestal (infrabony pocket) with inflammatory infiltrate

37
Q

How do periodontitis and TFO potentiate each other?

A

When the periodontitis MERGES with the increased TOOTH MOBILITY –> co-destruction occurs

38
Q

Can you do occlusal therapy on a tooth with SUBCRESTAL periodontitis lesion?

A

NO! Never do occlusal therapy until you first have ANY periodontitis under control

39
Q

If TFO and inflammatory periodontitis are _______ processes, ____ enhanced attachment loss

A

Independent processes –> NO enhanced attachment loss

40
Q

Describe the conditions under which there will likely be co-destruction

A
  1. TFO with increasing mobility AND inflammatory infiltrate (periodontitis) at same site
  2. Two lesions COULD merge
  3. Downgrowth (apical migration) of pocket (junctional ) epithelium
  4. Enhanced (accelerated) attachment loss = co-destruction
41
Q

Name 4 REVERSIBLE methods of occlusal therapy

A
  1. Night guard (bite plane)
  2. Extracoronal splints
  3. Muscle relaxants (meds)
  4. Muscle exercises
42
Q

Name 4 IRREVERSIBLE methods of occlusal therapy

A
  1. Intracoronal splints (requires tooth preparation)
  2. Occlusal adjustment by selective grinding
  3. Orthodontics
  4. Orthognathic surgery
43
Q

What are the 5 indications for occlusal adjustment by selective grinding?

A
  1. Periodontal occlusal trauma
  2. Post-orthodontics
  3. Prior to extensive (?)
  4. Certain types of TMD
  5. Certain wear patterns
44
Q

What are the 5 CONTRAindications to occlusal adjustment?

A
  1. Severe malocclusion
  2. Non-ideal but tolerated occlusion
  3. Severe wear
  4. Patient in pain
  5. If no suitable end point
45
Q

______ must be present for attachment loss to occur

A

Periodontitis (inflammation)

46
Q

Occlusal trauma in the absence of periodontitis may be ______ and may result in ______

A

May be REVERSIBLE and may result in ADAPTATION (a mobile but otherwise healthy tooth)

47
Q

No repair can occur unless inflammatory periodontal disease is first _____

A

Resolved

48
Q

Occlusal trauma superimposed on an existing periodontitis MAY under certain conditions ______

A

Accelerate attachment loss (but not always)

49
Q

When is occlusal therapy indicated with periodontal treatment?

A

When occlusal trauma is present with PD

50
Q

During the initial periodontal therapy, why should occlusal therapy not be done until after inflammatory PD is first controlled?

A

Because PD therapy helps decrease the inflammation and therefore decrease the tooth mobility

51
Q

What is unique about a treatment plan for periodontal regenerative therapy?

A

Occlusal therapy is especially indicated prior to regenerative therapy

52
Q

______ is not justified in the absence of periodontal disease as a PD preventative measure

A

Occlusal therapy
