Traumatic Occlusal Forces Flashcards
what is occlusal trauma
injury resulting in tissue changes within the attachment apparatus (PDL, cementum, and supporting bone) as a result of occlusal forces
what are the occlusal forces
teeth
where may occlusal trauma occur
on an intact periodontium or in a reduced periodontium affected by periodontal disease
what is a reduced periodontium
based on an in vitro study, reduced is loss of greater than 60% of bone support
what are the parts of the periodontium affectde by occlusal forces
- cementum
- PDL
- alveolar bone proper
are the gingiva and JE affected by occlusal forces
no
what are the classes of traumatic occlusal forces. on the periodontium
- primary occlusal trauma
- secondary occlusal trauma
- orthodontic forces
is occlusal truma called excessive or traumatic
traumatic
what are the variables affecting occlusal trauma
- direction of force
- magnitude of force
- duration of force
- frequency of occurence
trauma from occlusion is considered to be:
pathologic
describe trauma from occlusion
forces of occlusion exceed the adaptive capacity of the periodontium
what are the types of occlusal wear that are considered physiological
- hypofunction
- disuse atrophy
what are the types of occlusal wear are considered pathological
- occlusal trauma
- hyperfunction
what is primary occlusal trauma
- traumatic occlusal forces applied to a tooth or teeth with normal periodontal support
what is seen with primary occlusal trauma
may see adaptive mobility - does not progress
what is an example of primary occlusal trauma
a high restoration with mobility resolving following reduction
what is secondary occlusal trauma
injury resulting in tissue changes from normal or traumatic occlusal forces applied to a tooth or teeth with reduced periodontal support
what may secondary occlusal trauma be seen as
progressive mobility and/or pain
what are the forces in primary occlusal trauma
- points of rotation of tooth with horizontal force
- results from trauma from occlusion from non-vertical forces
- traumatic force on a normal system
what is seen with secondary occlusal trauma
reduced bone support
- normal or traumatic forces on reduced periodontal support
- results from normal or traumatic forces on a reduced periodontium
what happens from the compression from trauma from occlusion
- PDL space is reduced as fibers are compressed
- loss of fiber orientation
- increased capillary permeability, rupture of blood vessels and hemorhage into PDL perivascular spaces (edema)
- resorption of alveolar bone proper (root resorption if severe) then widening of PDL space
what is happening on the tension side from trauma from occlusion
- increase in PDL space
- rupture of PDL fiber bundles
- compression of PDL blood vessels and hemorrhage into perivascular spaces
- deposition of new alveolar bone and decrease in PDL space
what is happening in severe trauma from occlusion
- crushing pressure injury - necrosis at furca, alveolar crest
- extravasated RBCs, hematoma, necrosis, vascular damage
describe what happens in severe trauma from occlusion
- well. defined necrosis, including PDL, cementum, bone
- degenerative changes ( hyaline, mucoid, liquefaction)
- repair from PDL, endosteal cells, bone marrow, Haversian systems (rear resorption)
