TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL ABSCESS Flashcards
T/f
periodontal abscess is a localized purulent infection in the
tissues adjacent to periodontal pocket that may lead to the
destruction of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone
T
T/f
PERIODONTAL ABSCESS is also called as the lateral periodontal abscess or parietal
abscess
→ localized painful swelling affecting only the
marginal and interdental gingiva
→ occurs due to impaction of foreign objects
A. Gingival
Abscess
B. Periodontal
Abscess
C. Pericoronal
Abscess
A
usually affects deeper periodontal structures
including deep pockets, furcations and vertical
osseous defect
A. Gingival
Abscess
B. Periodontal
Abscess
C. Pericoronal

Pericoronal
Abscess
A. Gingival

B. Periodontal
Abscess
C. Pericoronal
Abscess
C
→ as the disease progresses, pus discharge from
gingival crevice
→ lymph node enlargement
A. Acute
Periodontal
Abscess
B. Chronic
Periodontal
Abscess
A
→
involved tooth mobile and tender
→
pus discharge or sinus in the overlying mucosa
A. Acute
Periodontal
Abscess
B. Chronic
Periodontal
Abscess
B
associated with local factors: plaque, calculus,
anatomic factors
A. Single
Periodontal
Abscess
B. Multiple
Periodontal
Abscess
A
associated with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus,
medically compromised patients, in patients with
untreated periodontitis after systemic antibiotic
therapy
A. Single
Periodontal
Abscess
B. Multiple
Periodontal
Abscess
B
results when the acute infection originates
from biofilm present in a deepened
periodontal pocket
A. Periodontitis
Related Abscess
B. Non-Periodontitis
Related Abscess
A
results when the acute infection originates
from other local source like foreign body
impaction or alteration in root integrity
A. Periodontitis
Related Abscess
B. Non-Periodontitis
Related Abscess
B
associated with deep
restoration, caries or tooth wear
A. Periodontal Abscess
B. Periapical Abscess
B
pulp test: vital
A. Periodontal Abscess
B. Periapical Abscess
A
localized swelling on the lateral
aspect of the tooth
A. Periodontal Abscess
B. Periapical Abscess
A
confined to interdental or
marginal gingiva
A. Periodontal Abscess
B. Periapical Abscess
B
involves supporting periodontal
structures
A. Periodontal Abscess
B. Periapical Abscess
A
radiograph: bone loss
A. Periodontal Abscess
B. Periapical Abscess
A
acute inflammatory response to
the forcing of foreign material
into the gingiva; no bone loss
A. Periodontal Abscess
B. Periapical Abscess
B
dislodgement of calculus or inadequate
scaling
A. Post-Scaling
Periodontal
Abscess
B. Post-Surgery
Abscess
C. Post-Antibiotic
Abscess
A
incomplete removal of subgingival calculus or
presence of foreign substance (ex.: sutures,
periodontal dressing)
A. Post-Scaling
Periodontal
Abscess
B. Post-Surgery
Abscess
C. Post-Antibiotic
Abscess
B
systemic antibiotics without subgingival
debridement may cause an abscess due to
change in the subgingival microbiota leading
to superinfection and massive inflammation
A. Post-Scaling
Periodontal
Abscess
B. Post-Surgery
Abscess
C. Post-Antibiotic
Abscess
C
throbbing pain in acute periodontal abscess and dull ____
pain in chronic
gnawing
T/f
The purpose for the treatment of chronic periodontal abscess is to
eliminate the remaining calculus and to establish drainage mainly
where the resolution can be achieved only by surgical means
(vertical bone loss and deep pockets) through gingivectomy and
periodontal flap procedures.
