-avenue of dranage through gingival sulcus
Swelling Endo
often occurs in mucobuccal fold or spreads into fascial planes
Periodontal Swelling
usually found in attached gingiva and rarely spreads beyond the mucogingival junction
Mobility
on one isolated tooth: source could be perio, endo or occlusal
generalized: suggests lesion of periodontal or occlusal origin; crestal bone loss evident
Cold response
immediate response and disappears when removed if no response or linguer pulp is necrotic or irreversily inflamed
one time test tetraflourethane
Heat response
normal response is pain that intensifies until stimulus is removed lingering pain indicates irreversibly inflamed pulp: hot gutta percha
Pulpal Periodontal lesions
-toot is pulpless or has a necrotic pulp
-destruction of perio attachment apparatus
-from the apex of the toth into gingavl sulcus
-from an involved lateral canal into the gingival sulcus
-both endo and perio treatment is required to resolve the lesion

Treatment of combined lesion
1. endodontics FIRST
2. Corrective perio therapy SECOND
Indications for Perio Surgery
1. areas with irregular bony contours, deep craters and other defects
2. pockets on teeth in which a complete removal of root irritants is not considered clinically possible may call for surgery (this occurs freuently in molar and premolar areas)
3. in cases of furcation involvement of grade II or III, a surgical approach ensures the removal of irritants
4. intrabony pockets on distal areas of last molars are usually unresponsive to nonsurgical methods
5. persistent inflammation in areas with moderate to deep pockets
Methods of Pocket Therapy
1. new attachment technique- 2. removal of the pocket wall (Most common method)
3. removal of the tooth side of the pocket
New attachment techniqe
ruinite the gingiva to the tooth at a position coronal to the bottom of the preexisting pocket
-involves new bone and pdl regeneration
Removal of pocket wall
-wall of the pocket consists of soft tissue and may also include bone in the case of intrabony pockets
-retraction or shrinkage, in which SCRP resolve the inflammatory process gingiva therefore shrinks reducing the pocket depth
-surgical removal
-apical repositioning of the flap
Removal of the tooth side of pocket
accomplished by ttoth extraction or partial tooth extraction
-hemisection (split molar into two premolar sized teeth)
-roort resection (remove a root)
gingival pocket wall
-can be edematous or fibrotic
-edematous shrinks after the elimination of local factors thereby reducing or totally elminating PD SCRP treatment of choice here
-Fibrotic walls ar enot reduced in depth after SCRP surgical elimination is indicated
Therapy for slight perio
-small amt of bone loss
-pockets shallow to moderate
- conservative approach with good oral hygiene is indicated to control the disease (SRP 3,4 month perio intervals)
-incipient perio that recurs in previously treated site may require analysis for cause
-a surgical approach may be required (uncommon)
Therapy Moderate to Severe perio in anterior sector
-technique that causes the least amount of visual root exposre considered
-two advantages
-they are all single rooted and easily accessible
-patient compliance is easier to attain
-SCRP are treatment of choice
-sometimes surgery for improved accessiblity for Root planing or for osseous defects
-infrequently do bone contouring tecnique of choice is the apically displaced flap with bone contouring
therapy Moderato Severe in posterior
-most patinet have developed osseous defects that require some degree of osseous remodeling
-surgery frequently indicated
-no esthetic problems but difficult accessibility
-enhanced acessibility or the need for definitive pocket reduction
-when osseous defects with no possibilty of reconstruction (bone grafting) are present such as interdental craters, treatment of choice is flap with osseous contouring
Osseous Resective Surgery
-to reshape marginal bone to resemble the alveolar process undamaged by perio
-osteoplasty or ostectomy
Postive vs. Negative Architecture
-refer to the relative position of interdental bone to radicular bone
-Positive architecture when the radicular bone is apical to the interdental bone
-Negative architecture when interdental bone is apical to radicular bone
-osseous bone is "ideal" when it is positive architecture
Incision Design
-if regenrative (bone grafting) potential exists perform sulcular incisions only (sounding indicated here to confirm)
-Otherwise, 3 incisions are necessary for flap surgery
First- internal bevel incision
Second- sulcular incision
Third-interproximal straight line incision
Elevation of flaps
1. internal bevel incision, splitting the papilla, and vertical incisions are drawn at line angles
2. the flap has been elevated, and the wedge of tissue next to the tooth is stil in place
3. all marginal tissue has been removed, exposing the underlying bone
4. tissue returned to its original position. Proximal areas are not totally covered. healing proceeds by secondary intent.
- When full thickness flap is desired, reflection of the flap is accomplished by blunt dissection
-periosteal elevator used to separate the mucoperiosteum from the bone by moving it mesially, distally and apically until the desired reflection is accomplished
FTF incision based on:
1. width of keratinized tissue: if </= 2mm present no gingival collar excised
2. as the discussed above, if defect has regenerative potential (i.e. 3-walled)
-sulcular incisions only, no removal of gingiva: need to achieve primary closure to protect graft materials
Subtractive osseous surgery
-designed to restore the form of preexisting alveolar bone to level present at the time of surgery or slightly mre apical to this level
-brings about ideal rsult of perio therapy
Additive osseous surgery
includes procedures directed at restoring the alveolar bone to its original level
Osseous resective surgery technique
1. after complete flap reflection debridement of granulation tissues
2. SCRP
3. Ostectomy (flatten interproximal bone)
4. Osteoplasty(vertical grooving, radicular blending)
5. suture: apically positioned flap
Initial bone removal: interproximal
-2 walled defect often seen interproximally
-perform ostectomy in shallow (</= 3mm) defects
-excessive removal of buccal and lingual bone may result in significant loss of supporting bone
-solution: "bone ramping" ostectomy of palatal/lingual bone to create a sloping effect and reduce probing depths
Nondisplaced flaps (NDF)
when the flap is returned and sutured in its original position
Displaced Flaps
which are placed apically, coronally, or laterally to their original position
What can be displaced?
-both full thickness and partial thickness flaps
to do so the attached gingiva must be totally separated from the underlying bone, thereby enabling the unattached portion of the gingival to be movable
-palatal flaps cannot be displaced because of the absence of unattached gingiva
Distal Molar Surgery
-tx of perio pockets on distal surface of terminal molars complicated by presence of bulbous fibrous tissue over the max tuberosity or prominent retromolar pads in the mandible
-deep vertical defects present in conjunction with the redundant fibrous tissue
-some of these osseous lesions may result from incomplete repair after the extractionof impacted thirds
Distal Molar surgery: Maxillary Molars
-tx on the maxillary arch is usually simpler than the tx of a similar lesion on the mandibular arch because the tuberosity presents a greater amt of fibrous attached gingiva than does the area of the retromolar pad
-anatomy of tuberosity extending distally is more adaptable to pocket elmination than is that of the mandibular molar arch where the tissue extends coronally
-lack of a broad area of attached gingiva and the abruptly ascending tuberosity sometimes complicate therapy
Distal Molar Surgery: Mandibular Molars
-retromolar pad does not have as much fibrous attached gingiva. The keratinized gingiva if present may not be found directly distal to the molar
-greatest amt may be distolingual or distofacial and may not be over the bony crest. The ascending ramus of mandible may also creat a short, horizontal area distal to the terminal molar
Sutures
-purpose is to maitain flap in desired position until helaing has progressed to point in which sutures ar eno longer needed
-after procedures complete, the area is reexamined, cleanesed, flap placed in desired position
-flap should remain in position without tension
-Nonresorbable or resorbable and can be braided or monofilament
Resorbable
Surgical: gut
Plain gut: monofiliament (up to 30 days)
Chromic gut: monofilament (up to 45-60 days)
Nonabsorbable

Nylon: monofilament (ethilon)
ePTFE: monofilamen( Gore-Tex)
Polyester: braided (Ethibond)
When to refer a pt
-isolated or generalized deep probing depths (>/= 6mm)
-radiographic evidence of significant bony defects
-medically compromised individuals
-pts requiring sedation
Furcation areas
-may be dificult or impossible to debride by routine perio instrumentation
-routine home care methods may not keep furcation area free of plaque
-presence of furcation involvement is a clinical finding that can lead to a diagnosis of advanced perio
-presents both diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas
-primary etiology factor of furcation defects is bacterial plaque
-
Perio progression into furcation
-studies indicate that prevalence and severity of furcation involvement increase with age
-dental caries and pulpal death may also affect a tooth with furcation involvement or even the area of the furcation
Anatomical features relavant to prognosis and tx of furcation involvement
-root trunk length
-root length
-root form
-interradicular dimension
-anatomy of furcation
-cervical enamel projections/pearls
-distance from CEJ to entrance of furcation can vary
-theeth may have very short root trunks, moderate root trunk, or roots that may be fused to a point near the apex
-combination of root trunk length with the number and configuration of the roots affects the ease and success of therapy
-shorter root trunk, the less attachment needs to be lost before the furcation is involved
-once exposed, teeth with short trunks may be more accessible to maintenance procedures and may facilitate surgical procedures
-teeth with unusually long root trunks or fused roots may not be appropriate candidates for treatment once the furcation has been affected. That is, too much bone has been lost.
Root length and furcations
-longer root lengths increase prognosis of teeth and vise-versa
-more anchorage available with longer roots
Root form and furcation
-the mesial root of most mandibular first and second molars and the mesiofacial root of the maxillary first molar are typically curved to the distal side in the apical third
-the distal aspect of the maxillary first molar root is usually heavily fluted
Interradicular Dimension
- dimensino of furcation entrance is variable but usually small
-81% of furcations have an orifice of 1mm or less
-58% are .75mm or less
-the furcal aspect of roots of max 1st molars is concave in:
-94% of mesiobuccal roots
-31% of distobuccal roots
-17% of palatal roots
-results in challenge to oral hygiene, periodontal maintenance and surgical therapy
Cervical Enamel Projections
-Frequency: Buccal surfaces of mandibular molars: 28.6%, maxillary molars 17%
-treatment: enameloplasty
-removal improves prognosis
Enamel Pearls
-Frequncy: 1.1-9.7% with predilection for 2nd, 3rd max molars
-treatment: limited due to nerovascular presence in pearl
-presence decreases prognosis
Probe mesial furcation
from the palatal aspect

tooth loss after root resection
-35% of root resected teeth lost after 10 years
-Most lost after 5 years by root fracture
Prognosis
-furcation involvement significantly decreases long term prognosis
Grade 1>2>3
Grade 1 fair to poor
Grade 2 and 3 poor to questionable
when to refer
Grade 2 or 3 furcation
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR)
-regeneration (grow back) of periodontal tissues (bone, cementum, PDL)
Guided Bone Regernation (GBR)
involves regeneration of bone only--> produces bone for dental implant placement
Guided
placement of a physical barrier to exclude epithelium from repopulating the root surfaces during early healing
Regeneration
reproduction or reconstitution of a lost or injured part to restore the architecture and function of the lost or injured tissues
Repair
healing of a wound by tissues that do not fully restore the architecture or function of the part
-in perio therapy most conventional therapeutic procedures result in healing by repair
New attachment
-formation of new cementum with inserting PDL fibers on root surface previously exposed to disease (e.g. regeneratin of root which was part of pocket wall)
Reattachment
-the formation of new cementum ith inserting PDL fiers on root surface that is healthy (e.g. repair of healthy areas exposed surgically during periodontal flap surgery
Wound healing in the oral cavity
Cellular proliferation rates can negatively impact regenerative procedures
-epithelial cells= fast --> results in long junctional epithelium & a repair process (not as good)
-bone, cementoblasts, PDL cells = slow --> needed for regeneration (replaces lost supporting tissues of the tooth)
-we need to create environment conducive for bone, pdl cementum growth and not for epithelial
Solution to epithelial growth problem
-place a barrier between defect and epithelium to provide space for tissue regernation and exclude epithelial cells form invading into defect
-barrier blocks epithelium to allow progenitor cells from PDL & bone to populate defect and form new cementum/bone/PDL
What to repair with GTR?
Yes:
-deep, narrow (3 walled) defects (v-shaped)
-grade II furction defects without horizontal bone loss
No:

Bioabsorbable Membranes
-collagen (natural)
-synthetic (polyactic acid, copolymers of polyactic and polyglycolic acid)
-do not require additional surgery for removal
-difficulty predicting extent and nature of disintegration process
-risk of disease transmision (negligible)

-bioabsorble preferable over non resorbable (less chance of infection, no second surgery required, more biocompatible)
-block and particulate grafts are both successful in GBR
-acuisition potentially more challengin with blocks
-critical compications:
blocks: dislodgement
particulate: membrane exposure/graft infection
-both procedures are essential components of modern implant therapy
