Q

what happens from the compression from trauma from occlusion

A
  • PDL space is reduced as fibers are compressed

26
Q

what is the definition and manifestation of secondary occlusal trauma

  • progressive mobility - may exhibit mobility and/or pain on function. consider splinting
27
Q

the lesion of occlusal trauma can only be confirmed:

A

histologically by block section biopsy, so must use other surrogate indicators such as clinical and radiographic

28
Q

what are the proposed clinical and radiographic indicators of occlusal trauma

  • fremitus
  • mobility
  • occlusal discrepancies
  • wear facets
  • tooth migration
  • fractured tooth

  • discomfort/pain on chewing
  • widened PDL space
  • root resorption
  • cemental tear
29
Q

what is fremitus

A

a palpable or visible movement of a tooth when subjected to occlusal forces

30
Q

what are the clinical signs and symptoms of occlusal trauma

A
  • mobility of affected teeth
  • radiographic evidence of thickened PDL
  • positive hx of clenching or bruxism
  • missing or tilted teeth
  • evidence of working and/or balancing side occlusal interferences
31
Q

what are the classes of mobility index

A
  • 1: first distinguishable sign of movement greater than normal ( physiologic)
    -2: movement which allows crown to move 1mm from its normal position in any direct
  • 3: tooth may be rotated or depressed in alveoli
32
Q

how do you test mobility

A

using 2 rigid instruments
- not fingers

33
Q

what are the occlusal discrepancies

A
  • working and/or balancing interferences
  • evidence of occlusal slide in CR or CO
  • evidence of occlusal interferences in protrusive mandibular movement
  • extremely steep cuspal inclines
  • wear facets- but may be a normal part of aging
34
Q

what is bruxism and what can it cause

A
  • grinding, clenching, or clamping of the teeth
  • the force may damage tooth or attachment apparatus
35
Q

what are the signs and symptoms of bruxism

A
  • increased mobility
  • pulpal sensitivity/bite tenderness
  • non- masticatory/ excessive occlusal wear
  • dull percussion sound
  • muscle tenderness/spasm/ hypertrophy/tiredness (am)
  • TMJ pain/jawlock
  • audible sounds
36
Q

what are the other manifestations of traumatic occlusal force

A
  • malocclusions
  • tooth migration
  • fractured teeth
37
Q

what are the radiographic signs of occlusal trauma

A
  • widened PDL space
  • thickening of lamina dura
  • vertical (angular) bone loss
  • furcal bone loss
  • alveolar radiolucency and/or condensation
38
Q

what are the PDL dimensions

A
  • PDL thickest at apices and alveolar crest ( 0.2 mm)
  • less at mid root (0.15mm)- varies with functional/force status of tooth
39
Q

what are the problems with surrogate indicators

A
  • existing loss of attachment may contribute to mobility
  • wear facets may be due to normal function rather than parafunctional habits ( bruxism, clenching, grinding)
  • altered vitality of teeth may be due to other factors
40
Q

what are the indications for occlusal adjustment

A
  • traumatic injuries/soft tissue injury; food impaction
  • increasing mobility or fremitus
  • parafunctional habits
  • in conjugation with orthodontic/orthognathic therapy
41
Q

what are the contraindications to occlusal adjustment

A
  • absence of a pre treatment diagnosis
  • as prophylactic therapy or only treatment for periodontal disease
  • as primary therapy of bruxism
  • severe extrusion or malpositioned teeth
  • when periodontal inflammation has not been controlled
42
Q

what are the effects of periodontal treatment on mobility

A
  • tooth mobility negatively affects outcomes of periodontal therapy and maintenance
  • tooth mobility generally will decrease once inflammation is controlled
43
Q

if signs and symptoms of occlusal trauma and patients comfort and function are impacted then:

A
  • perform occlusal adjustment in conjunction with periodontal therapy
  • evaluate and record occlusion before, during, and after treatment
  • treatment of occlusal truama may slow the progression of periodontitis and improve the prognosis

49

what is disuse atrophy

A

total removal of occlusal forces resulting in lack of the level of physiological stimulation required to maintain normal form and function

50
Q

disuse atrophy is considered _____ adaptation

A

physiologic
