Q

what is the inflammatory response of RR?

A

the healing phase, cementoblasts causing cemental healing if small lesions
least favourable is bone cells - get ankylosis (replacement resorption)
occurs if diffuse injury (>20%)

Q

How to diagnose EIRR

A

Sub clinical issue, might cause mobility,
pressure = radiographic shortening and blunting of root apices. tooth still vital.
trauma causes more extensive loss, might lose vitality

if infection then might have lateral canal

tooth is usually vital pain on lateral movements tooth usually mobile loss of alveolar crest on x-ray
28
What are features of a periapical abscess?
tooth is usually non-vital TTP vertically tooth may be mobile loss of lamina dura on x-ray

30
What are contraindications to periodontal surgery?
poor plaque control systemic diseases smoking teeth with poor long term prognosis
31

apically repositioned flap, osseous surgery (osteoplasty, ostectomy), furcationplasty, tunnel preparations, root resection, hemisection, extraction, gingivectomy guided tissue regeneration (bone grafts, enamel matrix derivatives), mucogingival surgery (free grafts or pedicle grafts)
32
What is supportive periodontal therapy?
success of treatment is characterised by reduction in BOP, reduction in pocket depth and change of gingival contour. need constant monitoring of BOP and pocket depths and plaque levels and radiographs 6ppc 8-12 weeks after treatment
33
What is Millers classification of ginigval recession?
Class I - recession does not extend past MGJ, no interdental bone loss Class II - recession just beyond MGJ, no bone loss Class III - recession to or beyond MGJ, some interdental bone loss, no movement of teeth Class IV - recession to or beyong MGJ, interdental bone loss, malpositioned teeth
34
Who gets periodontal support care and what is included
anyone who has had perio treatment. if pts arent given supportive therapy they are 6x more likely to lose teeth 3month intervals for sub and supragingival plaque removal. OHI. 6PPC every 12 months (SDCEP guidelines)
35
What is included in supportive periodontal care?
1. examination - looking for anything that can affect their plaque retention factors and what factors have changed since last evaluation 2. treatment options - scaling and RSD - but not <3mm sulci 3. reporting, cleaning, scheduling for further treatment - motivation, check reason for recurrence
36
What are reasons for perio disease recurrence after successful treatment?
* Inadequate or insufficient treatment that has failed to remove all the potential factors favoring plaque accumulation. * Incomplete calculus removal in areas of difficult access. • Inadequate restorations placed after the periodontal treatment was completed. * Failure of the patient to return for periodic checkups. This may be a result of the patient's conscious or unconscious decision not to continue treatment or the failure of the dentist and staff to emphasize the need for periodic examinations. * Presence of some systemic diseases that may affect host resistance to previously acceptable levels of plaque.
37
What are treatment options for pockets of 6mm?
- root surface debridement - cause related therapy - nothing - open flap curattage
38
How would you consent a patient for treatment?
``` explain risks explain benefits explain what happens if no treatment likely chance of success other possible treatment options explains the cost ```
39
When you are treating a paitent, they complain of central crushing pain in their chest. what is the most likely diagnosis and what is your management?
- MI or angina - ask pt if they have had this before - ABCDE - give O2 - 15L/min with non rebreather mask - sublingual GTN 2x400ug actuations (repeat after 3 mins) - call ambulance - give 300mg crushed asprin
40
When do you review treatment in a perio patient and why?
need to wait at least 6 weeks, best 8 to assess whether junctional epithelium has reattached, but not too long as can get re-colinisation and calculus preventing healing and need to re-treat
41
What findings would suggest that perio treatment has been successful?
``` no BOP reduction in pocket depts to <4mm increased tone of ep reduction in gingivitis and inflammation reduction in plaque and calculus levels ```
42
If a perio patient has a traumatic occlusion, how would you proceed?
HPT correct any premature contact areas dahl appliance if severe BRA at night
43
what are local causes of tooth mobility?
``` attachment loss widening of PDL morphology roots length of roots inflammation PA lesions trauma ```
44
Patient attends your clinic with a periodontal abscess - outline your treatment
``` Hx of the infection Rx of infection administer LA establish drainage - through pocket or incise the heaviest part of abscess gentle sub gingival debridement HSMW if systemic - metronidazole 400mg TID 5 days HPT and maintenance ```
45
How would you treat a perio-endo lesion?
These need treatment of the perio condition - so sub gingival RSD and RCT to treat endo
46
When would you perform a 6PPC?
on any sextant scoring 3 whole mouth if any sextant scores 4 before and after treatment (SDCEP_) after treatment only (BSP)
47
