Q

why are the exposed root surfaces a concern?

Study These Flashcards
A

bc it results in dentin hypersensitivity or hypersensitivity and carious lesions

24
Q

what factors determine the interval between perio maintenance visits?

Study These Flashcards
A 
probing depths
bleeding on probing
effectiveness of patient plaque biofilm control
age
medical and dental history
perio history
history of compliance
compliance with oral home care regimen
25
what are the active ingredients in desensitizing in tooth paste products?
potassium nitrate, strontium chloride, and sodium citrate
26
what are the five objectives of periodontal maintenance?
preservation of clinical attachment loss maintenance of alveolar bone height control of inflammation evaluation and reinforcement of personal oral hygiene maintenance of optimal oral health
27
this is necessary to monitor for periodontal health?
gain or loss of clinical attachment levels and probing depths
28
what are the characteristic signs of inflammation?
swelling, heat, pain and redness
29
fluoride rinses are not recommened for the pero maintenance pt bc systemic water fluoridation alone is more effective for root caries
the statement is correct, but reason is not
30
this is continuing periodic assessment and prophylactic treatment of the periodontal structures that permit early detection and treatment of new recurring abnormalities or disease
periodontal maintenance
31
the effectiveness of maintenance therapy is supported by evidence indicating that...
supragingival plaque biofilm control alone can improve probing depths and CAL in patients with perio
32
what are other names for periodontal maintenance?
recall, periodontal maintenance therapy, supportive periodontal therapy, or the maintenance phase of periodontal therapy
33
what are some factors that may cause adverse periodontal conditions?
defective restorations, overhanging margins, open contacts, over contoured crowns, poorly fitting removeable prosthesis
34
what are strategies for minimizing risk of caries?
frequent dental visits, topical fluorides, and diet control
35
what medications are associated with causing xerosotmia?
antiacne drugs antianxiety drugs antihypersensitives antidepressants muscle relaxants antipsychotics decongestants parkinsonism drugs diuretics antiinflammtory analgesics antinauseants
36
what are the long term periodontal maintenance components
compliance assessment prevention treatment
37
what factors may contribute to the failure of maintenance of periodontal health?
insufficient patient plaque biofilm control incomplete removal of bacterial plaque biofilm and calculus during therapy presence of faulty restorations prosthesis that favor the reestablishment of disease lack of patient compliance with recommended maintenance procedures systemic conditions that negatively affect the oral cavity
38
extension of the pocket beyond the mucogingival junction and into the alveolar mucosa represents...
mucogingival involvement
39
what are the strategies to prevent root caries?
increase remineralization of teeth through fluoride therapy reduce number of microorganisms through effective plaque biofilm control and antimicrobial agents modify the caries risk by selecting non cariogenic foods limit the frequency of consuming fermentable carbs improve salivary flow
40
what are the principal aims of the maintenance appointment?
evauluate stability of results after active therapy remove bacterial plaque biofilm accumulations on tooth surface eliminate all factors that favor bacteria evaluate and reinforce plaque biofilm control
41
this is defined by loss of clinical attachment and supporting bone to multirooted tooth beyond the division of the roots
furcation involvement
42
patients with xerostomia have increased risk of...
candida infections, dental caries and perio disease
43
this is a reliable indicator of pocket inflammation
bleeding on probing
44
when perio disease recurs, what is it called?
recurrent periodontitis
45
what is something patients at high risk for caries can be treated with?
chlorhexadine rinses to reduce cariogenic bacteria and then use fluoride therapy and diet modifications
46
what are the pathological factors that develop caries?
acid producing bacteria frequently eating and drinking of fermentable carbohydrate subnormal saliva flow and or function
47
in patients with xerostomia, where are caries locates?
cervical margins or incisal edges.. primary and recurrent caries may arise at margins of existing restorations
48
two types of desensitizing agents
chemical and physical
49
what are the causes of tooth mobility?
inflammation of PDL Loss of perio support trauma from occlusion
50
all medications can cause xerostomia except...
antifungal
51
what may xerostomia be related to?
systemic conditions, head and neck radiation, drug therapy, dehydration, stress and anxiety
52
the first perio maintenance appt. after surgery should occur within
2-4 weeks
53
what physical techniques can be used for desensitizing?
dentin bonding agents such as composite resins, varnishes, sealants, glass ionomer cements, soft tissue grafts
54
what is used to inhibit demineralization and ehnace the remineralization?
fluoride
55
this is the formation of pus that is visible at the entrance of the pocket when light pressure is placed on external gingival surface
suppuration
56
what is noted in periodontal evaluation?
``` probing pocket depths clinical attachment loss gingival recession bleeding on probing supparation tooth mobility furcations mucogingival involvement ```
57
when should new products be tried if sensitivity persists with a certain product?
2-6 weeks
