W6 - Interdisciplinary Perio - Sharma Flashcards
What can perio therapy help achieve in multi-disciplinary approach (4)
Stable gingival margins before tooth prep
Adequate tooth length / Crown lengthening
Perio tx after ortho mvmt and restorations causing mvmt
Esthetic and implant procedures usually require specialized perio
What is Perio specialty’s role in preprosthetic surgery (4)
After control of active disease:
Mgmt of mucogingival problems
Preservation of ridge after exo
Crown lengthening
Alveolar ridge reconstruction
Example of preservation of ridge
GBR - not squeezing socket after exo, rather pack it to not lose anatomy
Describe how the resto margins are tolerated by perio tissues (3)
Supragingival: no effect on perio but unaesthetic in anterior
Equigingival- well tolerated
Subgingival - Can affect SCAT and lead to BL
What is SCAT (+ measurement)
Supracrestal attached tissues AKA biologic width
Junctional epithelium + connective tissue attachment
2.04 mm
How to evaluate if you violated SCAT + BEST way
Radiograph - can SUGGEST it
Pt discomfort when probing around resto margins
Histological evaluation is definitive (but not clinically possible)
BEST WAY: Bone sounding
What is bone sonding and what is it used to indicate
Probe is pushed through attachment tissues to underlying bone after LA
- Can be done on healthy gingival tissues
- <2 mm indicated SCAT violation
Management of SCAT violation (2)
Surgically removing bone away from proximity of resto margin (faster)
or
Ortho extrusion
Rules for managing clinical margin placement (3)
Rule 1: Sulcus is ≤ 1.5 mm, resto margin no more than 0.5 mm subgingival
Rule 2: Sulcus ≥ 1.5mm margin at half the depth of the sulcus
Rule 3: Sulcus >2mm, gingivectomy to create a 1.5mm sulcus, then use rule 1
Indications for surgical crown lengthening (3)
Subgingival caries or fracture
Inadrquate clinical crown for retetion
Unequal or unesthetic gingival heights
Why do we use crown lengthening? (2)
To expose adequate clinical crown to prevent margins impacting SCAT
At least 3 mm between the most apical extension of the restorative margin and alveolar bone.
Contraindication of surgical crown lengthening (3)
If surgery would create unaesthetic outcome
If deep caries or fracture would require excessive bone removal on adjacent teeth
Tooth has poor restorative prognosis
Guideline/rule for soft tissue crown lengthening vs osseous reduction CL
When is ortho extrusion necessary (2)
Violation is on interproximal side or is across the facial surface with ideal gingival tissue level
Slow force vs rapid force ortho extrusion
Slow force - takes months
- Bone and teeth move
- Surgical correction
Rapid force - weeks
- Teeth only
- Supracrestal fibrotomy
