W1 - Aesthetic Perio Surgery - Sharma Flashcards
Marginal Tissue Recession
- Displacement of the location of marginal perio tissues apical to CEJ
What is the tissue around an implant called?
Mucosa
Ginig
What is the tissue around an implant called?
Mucosa
NOT gingiva - gingiva is a TOOTH associated landmark
Predisposing and precipitating factors to marginal tissue recession (5)
Mechanical Forces
- Toothbrushing, piercings
Anatomy
- Tooth position, thin gingival biotype
Iatrogenic
- Ortho
Aging
Pathological
- Plaque
Describe Millers Class 1 Recession
Marginal tissue recession that doesn’t extend to mucogingival junction
- No interproximal tissue loss
Describe Millers Class 2 Recession
Marginal tissue recession that extends to mucogingival junction
- NO interproximal tissue loss
Describe Millers Class 3 Recession
Marginal tissue recession that extends beyond mucogingival junction
WITH interproximal attachment loss
Describe Millers Class 4 Recession
Marginal tissue recession that extends beyond mucogingival junction WITH:
- Severe bone / tissue loss interproximally to a level apically to the soft tissue margin
Millers Class 1 Recession
Millers Class 2 Recession
Millers Class 3 Recession
Millers Class 4 Recession
Indications for root coverage (3)
- Reduce root sensitivity
- Improve esthetics
- Manage muco-gingival defects (shallow vestibule, frenums)
What anatomic feature can worsen marginal recession?
High frenums
What is a pedicle soft tissue graft?
- When is it used?
- Why?
One end of graft is still attached to donor site
- Allows for continuous blood supply
- Often used for OAC coverage
What is a free soft tissue graft?
Graft which is completely dettached from the donor site
