Q

As fibers are compressed due to OT, ____ is reduced

31
Q

Compression side results in loss of:

A

fiber orientation

32
Q

Compression side results in increased capillary permeability, rupture of blood vessels and hemmorhage into PDL vasculature spaces ultimately resulting in:

33
Q

T/F: With compression, resorption of alveolar bone proper (root resorption if severe) and widening of the PDL will occur

34
Q

-increased capillary permeability, dilation
-edema, disturbed fluid exchange
-vascular damage with stasis, clotting, thrombosis
-lowered periodontal resistance
-acommpanying tissue effects, usually minor

A

Minor trauma from occlusion

35
Q

What happens to the PDL on the tension side?

A

lenghtening resulting in increase in PDL space

36
Q

Lengthening occurs on the tension side resulting in:

A

increased PDL space

37
Q
  • increase in PDL space
    -rupture of PDL fiber bundles
  • compression of PDL blood vessels & hemorrhage into perivascular space
    -deposition of new alveolar bone & DECREASE in PDL space if severe cemental tears
A

Tension side

38
Q

This act results in RESORPTION of alveolar bone proper & WIDENING of the PDL space (root resorption):

This act results in DEPOSITION of new alveolar bone & DECREASE of the PDL space (if severe cemental tears):

A

Compression side

Tension side

39
Q

-crushing (pressure) injury, necrosis at furca, alveolar crest
-extravasated RBCs, hematoma, necvrosis, vascular damage

A

SEVERE trauma from occlusion

40
Q

Traumatic occlusal forces applied to tooth or teeth with NORMAL periodontal support:

A

PRIMARY occlusal trauma

41
Q

What is a manifestation of PRIMARY occlusal trauma:

A

adaptive mobility (not progressive or pathologic)

example: hyper occlusion

42
Q

NORMAL or TRAUMATIC occlusal forces applied to tooth or teeth with REDUCED periodontal support:

A

Secondary occlusal trauma

43
Q

A

apices & alveolar crest (0.20mm)

59
Q

What is the measurement of the PDL at the mid-root?

60
Q

What is the biggest contraindication to occlusal adjustment?

A

When periodontal inflammation has NOT been controlled

Other contraindications include:
1. absence of pre-treatment diagnosis
2. prophylactic therapy or sole treatment of perio disease
3. as primary treatment of bruxism
4. severe extrusion or malpositioned teeth

61
Q

T/F: Tooth mobility positively affects outcome of periodontal therapy and maintenance

A

False- negatively affects

62
Q

T/F: Tooth mobility will generally decreases once inflammation is controlled

63
Q

Occlusal adjustment is best done in conjunction with:

A

periodontal therapy

64
Q

Hyperfunction is a slight increase in occlusal force. This is considered to be a ____ adaptation

A

Physiologic

65
Q

Trauma from occlusion in the absence of inflammation does not cause:

A
  1. gingivitis
  2. periodontitis
  3. pocket formation
66
Q

T/F: There is NO EVIDENCE that TOF causes no-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs)
