Are You Suprised ? Pretest 2003 with answers/explanations DAPE 761 – Advanced Periodontics Name: ________________________ Dr. Dwight E. McLeod October 24, 2003 PRETEST 1. Gingivectomy is a surgical procedure that is performed to eliminate periodontal pockets and includes eshaping of the gingiva. Gingivoplasty is a surgical procedure that includes reshaping of the gingiva to create physiologic contours with the sole purpose of recontouring the gingiva in the absence of pockets. A. Both statements are true.* B. Both statements are false. C. The first statement is true and the second statement is false. D. The first statement is false and the second statement is true. Gingivectomy means excision of the gingiva. By removing the pocket wall, gingivectomy provides visibility and accessibility for complete calculus removal and thorough smoothing of the roots, creating a favorable environment for gingival healing and restoration of a physiologic gingival contour. Gingivoplasty is similar to gingivectomy, but its purpose is different. Gingivectomy is performed to eliminate periodontal pockets and includes reshaping as part of the technique. Gingivoplasty is a reshaping of the gingival to create physiologic gingival contours, with the sole purpose of recontouring the gingiva in the absence of pockets. 2. Indications for the gingivectomy procedure include: A. Elimination of suprabony pockets. B. Elimination of gingival enlargements. C. Elimination of suprabony periodontal abscesses. D. A and B E. All of the above* The gingivectomy procedure may be performed for (1) elimination of suprabony pockets, regardless of their depth, if the pocket wall is fibrous and firm, (2) elimination of gingival enlargement, and (3) elimination of suprabony periodontal abscesses. 3. Contraindications for the gingivectomy procedure include: A. The need for osseous surgery or evaluating the bony topography. B. Conditions in which the base of the pocket is apical to the mucogingival junction. C. Esthetics considerations. D. A and B E. All of the above* Pretest 2003 with answers/explanations Contraindications for the gingivectomy includes (1) the need for bone surgery or examination of the bone shape and morphology, (2) situations in which the bottom of the pocket is apical to the mucogingival junction, and (3) esthetic considerations, particularly in the anterior maxilla. 4. Which one of the following instruments cannot be used for a gingivoplasty procedure? A. Periodontal knife B. Scalpel C. Rotary coarse diamonds D. Electrodes E. None of the above* The gingivectomy technique may be performed by means of scalpels (also periodontal knives – Orban/Kirkland), electrodes (electrosurgery), laser beams, or chemicals (no longer used). The gingivoplasty technique may be done with a periodontal knife, scalpel, rotary coarse diamond stones, or electrodes (electrosurgery). 5. The purpose of using a membrane to treat an infrabony defect during guided tissue regeneration procedure is to prevent: A. A blood clot from forming in the periodontal defect. B. Apical migration of epithelial cells and formation of a long junctional epithelium.* C. Osteoblast and periodontal ligament cells from migrating coronally. D. A and C E. A, B, C Guided tissue regeneration procedures attempt to regenerate lost periodontal structures through differential tissue responses. Barrier techniques (resorbable or nonresorbable membranes) such as expanded polytetrafluroethylene, polyglactin, polylactic acid, and collagen are employed in the hope of excluding epithelium (sulcular, gingival and junctional) and the gingival connective tissue (corium) from the root surface in the belief that they interfere with regeneration. Excluding the epithelium and the gingival connective tissue from the root surface during the postsurgical healing phase not only prevents epithelial migration into wound but also favors repopulation of the area by cells from the periodontal ligament and bone. 6. A periodontal abscess is a localized accumulation of pus within the gingival wall of a periodontal pocket. A periodontal abscess may be acute or chronic. A. Both statements are true.* B. Both statements are false. C. The first statement is true and the second statement is false. D. The first statement is false and the second statement is true. A periodontal abscess is a localized accumulation of purulent inflammation (pus) in the gingival wall of a periodontal pocket. It is also known as a lateral or parietal abscess. A periodontal abscess may form due to several reasons. The reasons are (1) Extension of infection from a periodontal pocket deeply into the supporting periodontal tissues and localization of the suppurative inflammatory process along the lateral aspect of the root; (2) Lateral extension of inflammation from the inner surface of a periodontal pocket into the connective tissue of the pocket wall (Localization of the abscess results when drainage into the pocket space is impaired); (3) In a pocket that Pretest 2003 with answers/explanations describes a tortuous course around the root, a periodontal abscess may form in the cul-de-sac, the deep end of which is shut off from the surface; (4) Incomplete removal of calculus during treatment of a periodontal pocket (In this instance the gingival wall shrinks, occluding the pocket orifice, and a periodontal abscess occurs in the sealed-off portion of the pocket.); and (5) A periodontal abscess may occur in the absence of periodontal disease after trauma to the tooth or perforation of the lateral wall of the root in endodontic therapy. 7. Symptoms of an acute periodontal abscess may include: A. Throbbing and radiating pain. B. Tenderness of the gingiva upon palpation. C. Increased tooth mobility. D. A,C E. A,B, C* The most common complaints are pain or discomfort (throbbing or radiating pain), and/or the appearance of an area of swelling that is tender to touch, chewing, or toothbrushing. Lymphadenitis may be present, and less frequently, systemic effects such as fever, leukocytosis, and malaise. The area of the swelling may be confined to one tooth, or it may involve multiple teeth. The gingival is elevated, edematous and red, with a smooth shiny surface. Periodontal probing depths are exaggerated in areas of abscess formation and bleeding/exudates upon probing is common. The tooth may display increased mobility but rarely is the tooth hypersensitive to percussion unless the interfurcal zone or apex of the tooth is involved. The vitality of teeth with periodontal abscesses, as determined using either thermal or electrical tests, is normal unless a tooth have been previously treated endodontically or is simultaneously affected by a pulpal lesion (a so-called combine lesion) 8. A gingival abscess may be differentiated from a periodontal abscess based upon: A. The location of the abscess. B. The duration and severity of the pain. C. The history of the abscess. D. A, C* E. A, B, C The principal differences between the periodontal abscess and the gingival abscess are the location and history. The gingival abscess is confined to the marginal gingival, and it often occurs in previously disease-free areas. It is usually an acute inflammatory response to forcing of foreign material into the gingival. The periodontal abscess involves the supporting periodontal structures and generally occurs in the course of chronic destructive periodontitis. 9. The treatment of an acute periodontal abscess may include: A. Incision and drainage of the abscess. B. Endodontic therapy. C. Gingival flap surgery. D. A, C E. A, B, C* The appropriate therapy for a periodontal abscess is determined by the stage of the abscess formation, the location and extent of the abscess, the extent and configuration of the attachment loss on the affected tooth, and the role of Pretest 2003 with answers/explanations the tooth in the overall periodontal plan. Therapy is directed at the resolution of pain and the drainage and debridement of the abscess. Many localized periodontal abscesses can be evacuated and thoroughly debrided through the gingival sulcus. In this case good plaque control and warm oral rinses should be adequate in resolving the abscess. Most patients require mild or no postoperative medication for discomfort. Antibiotic therapy is usually not indicated. Larger abscesses may require incision and drainage plus debridement of the root of the affected tooth. In the case of a combined periodontal-periapical lesion, a flap procedure can be utilized. The mucoperiosteal flap provides excellent access for visualization and instrumentation of the affected area. 10. Which abscess is most likely associated with a sinus or fistula? A. Gingival abscess B. Acute periodontal abscess C. Chronic periodontal abscess* D. None of the above A draining sinus on the lateral aspects of the root suggests periodontal rather than apical involvement; a sinus from a periapical lesion is most likely to be located further apically. However, sinus location is not conclusive. The chronic periodontal abscess usually presents a sinus that opens onto the gingival mucosa somewhere along the length of the root. There may be a history of intermittent exudation. The orifice of the sinus may appear as a difficult-to-detect pinpoint opening, which, when probed, reveals a sinus deep in the periodontium. The sinus may be covered by a small, pink, beadlike mass of granulation tissue. The chronic periodontal abscess is usually asymptomatic. However, a patient may report episodes of dull, gnawing pain, slight elevation of the tooth and a desire to bite down and

We also aimed to test possible associations between these indicators and the severity of periodontitis assessed by clinical attachment loss (CAL) mean values. Material and methods Periodontal status was assessed based on the CDC/AAP periodontitis case definition for population-based studies. Risk indicators, including age, gender, weight and height, level of education, and smoking habits, were recorded. Salivary cortisol level, as a marker of chronic stress, was also measured. Results The mean age of the patients was 44.86 (SD 12.81; range 24 to 72). Ten females (45.5%) were enrolled. Testing possible associations between risk indicators and CAL mean values showed no statistical significant correlations, although trends of positive correlations were found between males, BMI, and CAL, respectively Conclusions The present results suggest that a high BMI, as well as masculine gender, could have been important risk factors for severe periodontitis in this study group.

Examination of the gingiva is part of every patient visit. In this context, a thorough clinical and radiographic assessment of the patient’s gingival tissues provides the dental practitioner with invaluable diagnostic information that is critical to determining the health status of the gingiva. The dental hygienist is often the first member of the dental team to be able to detect the early signs of periodontal disease. In 2017, the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) developed a new worldwide classification scheme for periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions. Included in the new classification scheme is the category called “periodontal health, gingival diseases/conditions.” Therefore, this chapter will first review the parameters that define periodontal health. Appreciating what constitutes as periodontal health serves as the basis for the dental provider to have a stronger understanding of the different categories of gingival diseases and conditions that are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Learning Objectives • Define periodontal health and be able to describe the clinical features that are consistent with signs of periodontal health. • List the two major subdivisions of gingival disease as established by the American Academy of Periodontology and the European Federation of Periodontology.

  • Staging and Grading Periodontitis
    Staging and Grading Periodontitis The 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions resulted in a new classification of periodontitis characterized by a multidimensional staging and grading system. The charts below provide an overview. Please visit perio.org/2017wwdc for the complete suite of reviews, case definition papers, and consensus reports. PERIODONTITIS: STAGING Staging intends to classify the severity and extent of a patient’s disease based on the measurable amount of destroyed and/or damaged tissue as a result of periodontitis and to assess the specific factors that may attribute to the complexity of long-term case management. Initial stage should be determined using clinical attachment loss (CAL). If CAL is not available, radiographic bone loss (RBL) should be used. Tooth loss due to periodontitis may modify stage definition. One or more complexity factors may shift the stage to a higher level. Seeperio.org/2017wwdc for additional information. Periodontitis Stage I Stage II Stage III Stage IV Interdental CAL 1 – 2 mm 3 – 4 mm ≥5 mm ≥5 mm (at site of greatest loss) Severity Coronal third Coronal third Extending to middle Extending to middle RBL (<15%) (15% - 33%) third of root and beyond third of root and beyond Tooth loss No tooth loss ≤4 teeth ≥5 teeth (due to periodontitis) Local • Max. probing depth • Max. probing depth In addition to In addition to ≤4 mm ≤5 mm Stage II complexity: Stage III complexity: • Mostly horizontal • Mostly horizontal • Probing depths • Need for

METHODS: This is a descriptive study based on patient’s records in the periodontology clinic. The study was conducted between November 2018 and February 2020 (15 months). All periodontitis cases were included in the study. Incomplete records (due to lack of radiographic workup or unusable periodontal charting) were excluded. Periodontitis diagnosis was established based on criteria used in the 2018 NCPD. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 20.0, with the significance threshold set at 0.05. RESULTS: A total number of 517 patient records were collected during the study period but only 127 periodontitis records were complete. The mean age of participants was 46.8 ± 13.8 years and 63.8% of participants were males. The mean plaque index and bleeding on probing (BOP) were 74% ± 21.3 and 58.1% ± 25.1, respectively. The mean maximum clinical attachment loss was 8.7 mm ±2.7, with a probing depth greater than 6 mm present in 50.4% of the sample. The median number of missing teeth was 3 (interquartile range 5–1). Pathological mobility was present in 60.6% of the patients and 78.0% had occlusion problems.

  • Peri-Implant Tissue Measurement Terminologies in Health and Disease: a Critical Insight Anil Akansha1, Kharidhi L Vandana2
    REVIEW ARTICLE Peri-implant Tissue Measurement Terminologies in Health and Disease: A Critical Insight Anil Akansha1, Kharidhi L Vandana2 ABSTRACT The implantology field has been a center of interest for several clinicians, teachers, and students globally. Amidst these fast-moving tissues, the terminologies for peri-implant measurements and the standard concept of measurement guidelines remain obscure and compromised. Unfortunately, the pioneering implantologists have not made an adequate attempt to address the existing deficiencies in guidelines, terminologies, and measurements pertaining to peri-implant tissues in health and disease. There is a lack of consistency across definitions of peri-implant osteitis in the literature, and the diagnostic criteria are not clear. Most of the published strategies for peri-implant osteitis therapy are mainly based on treatments used for teeth with periodontitis. The required platform to diagnose, classify, treat and comprehensive terminologies are the need of the hour in the implant related world. Hence, an attempt is made in this paper to briefly address the peri-implant-related clinical measurements, peri-implant disease classification, and its treatment strategies.
