|
The treatment or study of diseases or conditions affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth or dental implants
|
Periodontics/Periodontology
|
|
|
Two Major Periodontal Disease Categories:
|
Gingivitis and Periodontitis
|
|
|
Inflammation of the gingiva without loss of connective tissue or bone, reversible
|
Gingivitis
|
|
|
Inflammation of the gingiva, Pocket formation, and Loss of connective tissue and/or bone
not completely reversible |
Periodontitis
|
|
|
Bone loss occurs at a more
rapid rate: Localized @ circumpubertal onset, then generalized, unique bacterial etiology, possible immune defect |
Aggressive Periodontitis
|
|
|
bacterial deposits on the teeth
|
Dental Plaque
|
|
|
calcified deposits on the teeth or calcified dental plaque
|
Calculus
|
|
|
Space between tooth and gingival margin caused by
connective tissue loss, epithelial migration |
Periodontal Pocket
|
|
|
measure pocket depth/loss of attachment, calibrated instrument
|
periodontal probe
|
|
|
Measurement of the loss of connective tissue attachment to the root, measure the distance from the CEJ to base of the pocket
|
Loss of Attachment
|
|
|
2 Treatments for Gingivitis:
|
Oral Hygiene Instructions:
toothbrushing and interdental cleaning and Scale & Polish: Dental Prophylaxis |
|
|
Removal of plaque and stain deposits from teeth surfaces by scaling and polishing: Scalers & curettes and polishing tooth surfaces with prophy paste
|
Dental Prophylaxis
|
|
|
Treatment of Periodontitis:
|
Oral Hygiene Instructions, Scale & Root Plane, Surgery, and Frequent Recall (q. 3 months)
|
|
|
Instrumentation of the root surface to remove deposits of plaque and calculus and to produce a smooth root surface.
re‐eval 4‐6 weeks later: determine if an acceptable endpoint of treatment has been achieved. |
Root Planing
|
|
|
Provides access for root planing in deep pockets and facilitates pocket reduction
|
Periodontal Flap Surgery
|
|
|
use Bone Grafts, Guided Tissue Regeneration, and Biologic Mediators
|
Periodontal Regeneration
|
|
|
Other Perio Related Procedures:
|
Sinus Lift prior to Implants, Esthetic Surgical Crown Elongation, Implants with Restorations
|
