Ultimate Guide Flashcards
Soft Tissue Grafting Indications/Rationale-
- anything that causes —–
- recession that is —–
- esthetic concerns
- ————- around teeth scheduled for full coverage restorations
- ——— prior to orthodontic treatment- thicken with tissue graft
root sensitivity
progressing
limited soft tissue support
thin tissue biotype
Free gingival graft-
soft tissue graft completely detached from one site and moved to another
FGG Indications-
increase keratinized/attached gingiva, increase vestibular depth, achieve root coveraage
FGG Contraindications-
root coverage not predictable, esthetic concern (different color), complication at donor site; Can be submarginal to modify root coverage
Pedicle graft-
A soft tissue graft that is laterally positioned to correct an adjacent defect [base remains attached to the donor site], you still have to do SCTG
Pedicle graft Indications/Contraindications-
Connective tissue graft- detached connective tissue graft placed between partial thickness flap
Indications- thicken thin tissue for necessary procedures, esthetics
Contra- not enough tissue to do a split thickness flap
CAF + Connective Tissue Graft is most successful @
root coverage
CAF, SGCT, frenectomy, and vestibuloplasty are all
SPLIT THICKNESS FLAP
FGG techniques FGG-
bring soft tissue from donor site, apically position flap, add soft tissue from donor site to recipient site above the flap you just brought down; use some sort of template to know how much tissue to take
Pedicle technique-
leave base intact, cut flap and slide over; lateral sliding flap, double papilla flap
SGCT technique-
split thickness flap (or tunnel technique) with graft added and sandwiched between
Mucogingival deformities-
deviation from normal relationship between gingiva and alveolar mucosa
Gingival recession-
recession of attached/keratinized gingiva sometimes resulting in exposure of root surface
Mucogingival defect-
deviations from normal in relationship between MGJ and gingival margin, closer to gingival margin
What is sufficient zone of attached gingiva?
Don’t need an amount unless the pt cannot keep teeth clean, there is no ideal number, do surgery if there is attachment loss
Frenectomy-
surgical excision of a frenum- V shaped is most common, Z-plasty also an option
Frenotomy-
cutting of a frenum
Vestibuloplasty-
apically positioning flap to increase vestibular depth
Frenum-
A small band or fold of integument or mucous membrane that controls, curbs, or limits the movement of organ or part.
Aberrant Frenum-
Atypical/ abnormal insertion of labial, buccal, or lingual frenula capable of retracting gingival margins, creating diastemas, and limiting lip and tongue movements.
Classification of labial frenum? Mucosal- Gingival- Papillary- Papillary penetrating-
attaches in alveolar mucosa
attached between MGJ and base of interdental papilla- MOST COMMON
attaches between base and top of interdental papilla
attaches in interdental papilla and penetrates to palatal aspect- more often in younger children
Etiology of aberrant frenum?
After eruption of centrals, labial frenum normally transpositions in an apical direction. Sometimes it is unable to migrate during alveolar growth. Tooth development also implicated.
Surgery before or after orthodontic treatment??
Surgery should be done AFTER ortho treatment because it can lead to scarring which would resist orthodontic movement
What is LASER?-
Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation
Advantages/disadvantages of LASER tx-
Advantages——
Disadvantages-
hemostasis, rapid healing, accuracy, reduced inflammation, lack of scar tissue, low level of discomfort
technical difficulties, lack of precision in depth of cut, hazardous, tissue not available in histopathology, dispersal of virus particles in plume
Gingivectomy Implant uncover Frenectomy Uncovering soft tissue Impactions LANAP- adjunct to SRP PDT- use of free radicals to break down plaque
Periodontal Applications in LASERS-
Recession Defects: Miller Classification
Class I- —– bone loss, recession ———-
Class II- —— bone loss, recession ———-
Class III- —— bone loss, recession ——–
Class IV- — bone loss extends past recession
no IP, does not extend to MGJ
no IP, may extend to or past MGJ
IP, may or may not extend past MGJ

Healing Phases of Gingival Grafting
Initial Phase- 0-3 days; —-
Revascularization Phase- 2-11 days; ——
Tissue Maturation Phase- —–
“plasmatic circulation” from recipient bed, avascular
anastomoses between the blood vessels of the recipient bed and those in the grafted tissue; capillary proliferation; re-epithelization
11=42 days
Which teeth usually impacted?-
max canine> mand 1st premolar > mand 2nd premolar > mand canine > max premolars
Incidence of max canine impaction?-
2%
General location of impacted max canine?-
66-85% are palatally impacted
- failure of deciduous tooth roots to fully resorb
- abnormal position (eruption path)
- supernumerary teeth
- crowding
- dentigerous cyst
- thickened oral soft tissues
- oral soft tissue pathology
- hard tissue pathology
- premature extraction of deciduous teeth
- childhood diseases
- genetic syndromes
- hereditary diseases
Etiology of impacted tooth?
- palatal or labial malposition of impacted tooth
- migration of impacted teeth
- internal root resorption
- external root resorption
- dentigerous cyst formation
- referred pain
- any combination of above
Site Effects of impacted tooth?
Open techniques-
window or apically positioned flap
Closed techniques-
flap is opened ortho appliance applied, and then flap is closed (better healing, less discomfort).
Periodontal Abscess- treatment includes
drainage and SRP and sometimes amoxicillin for 3 days
NUP-
Necrotic lesion of the papilla initially then progressing to gingival margin. Punched-out appearance; spontaneous and painful-
NUP Microbiology-
Treponema sp., Selenomonas sp— treated by lowering microbial load and removing necrotic tissue
