W8 - Interdisciplinary Perio Part 2 - Sharma Flashcards
What are the 3 main pathways of perio/endo pathology
How can the dentinal tubules be exposed iatrogenically?
Aggressive root planing
4 types of endo-perio lesions
this is prior to 2017 classification
Anatomical entities responsible for endo-perio lesions (6)
Lingual grooves
fractures
Root anomalies
Intermediate bifurcation ridges
Cervical enamel projections
Trauma-induced RR
How are perio-endo lesions described?
Primary _____ secondary ______
depends on what happened first
Can also be a true combined lesion (when hard to say what happened first)
What is the modern (2017+) endo-perio lesion classification
What determines a hopeless prognosis for a tooth with endo-perio lesion
EPLs associated with trauma or iatrogenic factors
(ex. perforation)
What determines a poor or favourable prognosis for a tooth with endo-perio lesion
EPLs associated with endodontic and periodontal lesions and depends on extent of periodontal involvement
- (vs epls associated with trauma or iatrogenic factors which will have poor prognosis)
Describe the effect of pulpal disease on periodontium
If vital → no effect
Necrosis → bone resorp, PARL
3 endo procedures that can affect periodontium
Extirpation
Cleaning and shaping
Vert root fracture during obturation or post placement
How does periodontium get affected by endodontic shaping? (3)
Debris pushed into PFL
extension of files or filling materials
perforation of the pulp chamber floor
periodontal procedures that can affect pulp
Deep curettage → damage apical vessels
Scaling/debridement → remove cementum leading to open dentinal tubules and possibly lateral canals
How does a primary endodontic lesion present? (3)
Necrotic pulp with CAP and sinus tract that drains through the sulcus
Radiograph reveals isolated perio defect around individual tooth
no associated generalized perio
Investigations for primary endodontic lesion (2)
Negative pulp vitality test
Tracing tract with GP (leads to apex or mid root if lateral canal)
