1
Q

what is the definition of periodontal disease?

Q

what is involved in the initial phase (step 1) of the treatment plan?

A
  • examination
  • assessment of risk factors
  • control of local (eg overhangs) and systemic (eg smoking) risk factors
  • PMPR
  • extractions
  • endodontics
  • initial occlusal correction

Q

what does re-evaluation of step1 involve?

A

  • > 3mm=step 2
  • lack of adherence= repeat step 1

Q

what is involved in step5?

A
  • supportive periodontal therapy
  • risk-adapted intervals 3-12months
  • continuous monitoring of local and systemic risk factors
  • PMPR
17
Q

how is a scaler used?

A
  • working edge on lateral surfaces of 2-3 mm of the tip
  • 0-15* angle between work edge and tooth surface
  • slight pressure applied
  • tip zig-zags in overlapping motions
  • occlusal to gumline
  • contant movement
  • water spray
18
Q

what are contradictions of ultrasonic scaler use?

A
  • oral infectious diseases
  • dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) with high risk of aspiration of fluids during the procedure
  • acute leukemias and lymphomas
  • pregnancy/heart pacemakers
19
Q

what is the difference between sonic and ultrasonic scalers?

A

ultrasonic are much faster, more powerful

20
Q

what are examples of non-surgical periodontal therapy?

A
  • subgingival PMPR
  • teeth splinting
  • further correction of traumatic occlusion
  • dentine hypersensitivity prevention
  • reinforcement of OH
  • controlling modifiable risk factors
21
Q

what are examples of host modulation therapy?

A
  • anticytokine/biological therapies
  • lipid mediators of resolution of inflammation
  • small molecules compounds
  • bisphophonates
22
Q

what is the difference between engaging and non-engaging patients?

A

engaging patients show improvement

23
Q

what must be present to use systemic antibiotics or local antimicrobials?

A

mechanical disruption of biofilm

24
Q

what is RSD?

A

root surface debridement

25
Q

what is periochip?

A

an antibiotic used to treat periodontal disease

26
Q

what are indications for the use of periochip?

A
  • > 5mm pockets persisting
  • RSD
27
Q

what is periowave?

A

photodesinfection treatment for periodontitis

28
Q

What are the disadvantages of local antimicrobials over systemic antibiotics?

A

Local antimicrobials still require root surface debridement

29
Q

What are examples of local antimicrobials?

A
  • chlorohexidine (periochip)
  • antibiotics
