Q

What is regenerative periodontal surgery?

A
  • aims to promote regeneration of periodontal tissues that have been lost
  • includes use of membranes and grafts and application of biologic agents
  • aka mucogingival surgery, perio plastic surgery

Q

What are the indications for mucogingival surgery?

A
  • periodontitis lesions requiring reconstructive or regenerative treatment including around implants
  • mucogingival deformities and poor aesthetics
  • short clinical crowns
  • removal of abnormal frenum
  • creation of more favourable soft tissue bed pre-implant placement

Q

Describe the difference between a full thickness flap and a split thickness flap.

A
  • full thickness flap is cut to the periosteum and lifts the periosteum with it
  • split thickness flap leaves the periosteum in situ and leaves some connective tissue behind

Q

What is a free gingival graft?

A
  • split thickness flap
  • free means blood supply is not maintained from donor site
  • placed onto recipient site (epithelium removed to leave connective tissue exposed) and sutured in place

Q

What is a pedicle sliding graft?

A
  • gingival margin around defect excised
  • split thickness flap raised from adjacent tooth
  • flap is rotate laterally to cover defect
  • donor site heals by secondary intention
  • blood supply is maintained to flap

Q

What is a connective tissue graft?

A
  • papillae are spared as gingival margin is excised and tissue undermined
  • graft is harvested from palate using a window (epithelium replaced to aid healing)
  • connective tissue placed into flap at margin
  • coronally advanced flap sutured in place

Q

What biomaterials are used for guided bone regeneration?

A
  • barrier membrane (collagen)
  • DBBM (deproteinised bovine bone matrix)
  • EMD (enamel matrix derivative)
17
Q

What is GBR?

A

Guided bone regeneration

18
Q

What is the function of the collagen membrane in GBR?

A
  • epithelial cells advance and heal quicker than connective tissue
  • barrier membrane prevent epithelial cells from migrating apically
  • allows connective tissue to heal
19
Q

What is a long junctional epithelium?

A
  • when epithelium cells advance apically the connective tissue does not contact the root surface
  • instead epithelium cells line the root surface
  • overall, weakers against bacteria in the mouth and therefore SPT is vital
20
Q

What is gingival recession?

A
  • describes apical migration of gingival margin from CEJ
  • does not relate to health or disease
  • descriptive term of location
21
Q

What is the aetiology of localised gingival recession?

A
  • excessive toothbrushing
  • traumatic incisor relationship
  • habits
  • anatomy (eg frenal pull or teeth out of alignment)
  • orthodontic treatment
22
Q

What is the aetiology of generalised gingival recession?

A

Periodontal disease

23
Q

What is the old classification for gingival recession?

A

Millers 1985

24
Q

What is the new classification for gingival recession?

A

Cairo 2012
- RT1
- RT2
- RT3

25
Q

Describe RT1.

A
  • recession type 1
  • no interpromixal tissue loss
26
Q

Describe RT2.

A
  • recession type 2
  • interproximal tissue loss (CEJ-base of pocket) but not as significant as mid-buccal
27
Q

Describe RT3.

A
  • recession type 3
  • gingival recession associated with loss of interproximal attachment
  • interproximal tissue loss (CEJ-base of pocket) worse than mid-buccal
28
Q

What are the treatment options for gingival recession?

A
  • elimination of aetiological factors
  • OHI
  • topical desensitising agents (for roots)
  • gingival veneer
  • crowns (requires wax up)
  • mucogingival surgery
29
Q

When is a gingival veneer indicated?

A
  • extensive recession and interproximal bone loss
  • surgery would not achieve root coverage
30
Q

What is crown lengthening?

A

Aims to reposition the entire periodontal attachment including the alveolar bone

31
Q

What are the indications for crown lengthening?

A
  • increase required in clinical crown height to give adequate retention for restoration
  • restore biologic width
  • create adequate ferrule
  • expose sub gingival restoration margins/secondary caries/fractures
  • correction of uneven gingival contour
32
Q

Describe the crown lengthening procedure.

A
  • flap raised
  • 3-4mm bone removed using surgical handpiece
  • bone around root removed with hand instruments to avoid damage to root
  • coe pack placed to prevent tissue creep
