Which statement regarding an autogenous free gingival graft is true? Select all that apply.• it can be placed to prevent further recession• it can be used to effectively widen the attached gingiva• it retains its own blood supply and is not dependent on the bed of recipient blood vessels• the greatest amount of shrinkage occurs within the first 6 weeks• it is also useful for covering nonpathologic dehiscences and fenestrations
• it can be placed to prevent further recession• it can be used to effectively widen the attached gingiva• the greatest amount of shrinkage occurs within the first 6 weeks• it is also useful for covering nonpathologic dehiscences and fenestrations
the donor site of an autogenous free gingival graft from which the graft is taken is ?
an edentulous region or the palatal area
The graft epithelium undergoes ? after it is placed. Then it sloughs, the ‘epithelium “ is reconstructed in about ? by the adjacent epithelium and proliferation of ?. In 2 weeks the tissue appears to have reformed, but maturation is not completed until ? weeks
• degeneration • a week • surviving donor basal cells• 10-16
The free gingival graft receives its nutrients from the ?
viable connective tissue bed
The graft may be used to correct ? but not ?
localized narrow recessions or cleftsdeep, wide recessions
Miller classification system for marginal tissue recession:
• Class I: no extension to the mucogingival junction• Class II: extension to or beyond the mucogingival junction + no loss of bone or soft tissue in the interdental areas• Class III: extension to or beyond the mucogingival junction + loss of bone or soft tissue in the interdental areas OR malpositioning of the tooth• Class IV: There is severe bone and soft tissue loss interdentally or severe tooth malposition
the prognosis for classes I and II is ?; whereas for class III, ?. Class IV has ?
• good to excellent• only partial coverage can be expected• a very poor prognosis
Hemisection is most likely to be performed on:• mandibular first and second premolars• maxillary first and second molars• maxillary canines• mandibular molars with buccal and lingual class II or III furaction involvements
mandibular molars with buccal and lingual class II or III furaction involvements
Hemisection has been called ? because it changes the molar into two separate roots.
bicuspidization or segaration
? refers to the separation of an individual root from the crown structure of the tooth.
Root amputation
Most root amputations involve ?
the maxillary first and second molars
Root amputations or hemisections almost always result in irreversible pulpal damage that demands endodontic therapy. Ideally, when the endo is done ?
first
The? pontics have convex undersurfaces, which makes them easiest to clean. The ? designs have concave surfaces, which are more difficult to access with dental floss
sanitary and ovateridge-lap and modified ridge-lap
the ideal pontic form?
ovate pontic (The alveolar bone must be a minimum of 2 mm from the most apical portion of the pontic)
The main goal of osseous recontouring (surgery) is:• to cure periodontal disease• to eliminate the existing microflora• to eliminate periodontal pockets• to change the existing microflora
eliminate periodontal pockets — to reshape the marginal bone to resemble that of the alveolar process undamaged by periodontal disease
The most critical factor in determining whether a tooth should be extracted or have surgery performed on it is ?
the amount of attachment loss
Material to be grafted can be obtained from the same individual (?), from a different individual of the same species (?), or from a different species (?).

• osteogenic potential of bone grafting materials• osteoinductive potential of bone grafting materials• osteoconductive potential of bone grafting materials
• ability to induce the formation of new bone by cells contained in the graft• (ability of molecules contained in the graft to convertneighboring cells into osteoblasts• ability of the graft material to serve as a scaffold that favors outside cells to penetrate the graft and form new bone
All of the following statements regarding periodontal flaps are true EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION!• full-thickness periodontal flaps involve reflecting all of the soft tissue, including the periosteum, to expose the underlying bone• the partial-thickness periodontal flap includes only the epithelium and a layer of the underlying connective tissue• both full-thickness and partial-thickness periodontal flaps can be displaced • flaps from the palate are considered easier to be displaced than those from any other region• flaps should be uniformly thin and pliable
flaps from the palate are considered easier to be displaced than those from any other region (palatal flaps cannot be displaced)
a full thickness flap will be used where the attached gingiva is ?, and a partial-thickness flap may be used when the attached gingiva is ?
thin (2 mm or less in width)thick (2 mm or more)
There are various distal flap approaches used for retromolar reduction. The simplest is the:• gingivectomy • apically positioned flap• distal wedge• laterally positioned flap
distal wedge (sometimes called proximal wedge procedures)
indications to gingivectomy include ?
• elimination of gingival enlargements• Elimination of suprabony pockets, regardless of their depth, if the pocket wall is fibrous and firm• Elimination of suprabony periodontal abscesses
The following factors should be considered when electing to perform a gingivectomy rather than a periodontal flap:• Pocket depth (?)• Need for access to bone (?)• Amount of existing attached gingiva (?)
• if base of pocket is located at the mucogingival junction or apical to the alveolar crest, do not perform gingivectomy• if osseous recontouring is needed, do not do gingivectomy• if inadequate, do not do gingivectomy
A gingivoplasty is directed toward reshaping the gingiva and papilla of a tooth for correction of ?. The overall objective is not to eliminate periodontal pockets but, rather, to provide a ?
• deformities and to provide the gingiva with normal and functional form• more,physiological tissue contour
