60
What are the 3 main things in periodontitis aetiology
- Bacterial virulence - Environmental factors - Host response
61
What is diabetes and how to diagnose
- Body unable to regulate blood glucose levels - Insulin used to move glucose from blood stream to cells - Type 1: not enough insulin, body destroying cells in the pancreas that produce insulin - Type 2: doesn’t respond properly to insulin, lifestyle factors, most common - Diagnosis: HbA1C tests (less than 6% is normal?)
62
How can a dentist monitor diabetes in clinic
- MH confirmation - Gum disease signs (common in diabetes) - Dry mouth (sign of uncontrolled diabetes)
63
How does diabetes cause perio
- Increased cytokines in gingival crevicular fluid (mainly T1DM) - High blood sugar levels (bacteria?) - Perio can result in increased insulin resistance
64
What are the problems with NSPT
- Gaining access to deeper pockets - Root angulation, root morphology for curettage - Enamel pearls - Overhanging margins - Residual calculus in deeper pockets
65
Describe what resection is
- Removing a portion of gum tissue - Can be internal bevelled incision or wingman’s incision - Usually 1mm from gingival margin
66
What is bone contouring
- Osteoplasty: remove boen without affect supporting bone of neighbouring teeth - Ostectomy: removal of supporting bone from the neighbouring teeth which is used in two wall crater defects to create a more predictable mucogingival contour - Tunnelling: easier to clean teeth with furcation defects
67
What is important in perio surgery regeneration healing
-Epithelial cells and gingival connective tissue cells are very quick at proliferating during healing -Bone cells and PDL cells are slower, these are the ones crucial for regeneration -A barrier is created using guided tissue regeneration or emdogain in order to prevent epithelial cells and gingival connective tissue cells and to allow proliferation of bone cells and PDL cells into the space -If the barrier collapses or fails, the periodontal regeneration will fail -Enamel matrix proteins (found in emdogain) are crucial to allow proliferation of the desired cells
68
What effects recall for SPT in general?
Affected by site factors: BoP, PPD, CAL -Tooth factors: crowding, overhangs, bone levels, furcation defects -Patient factors: non-modifiable (genetics, age, ethnicity) and modifiable (smoking, diabetes, medications, OH, compliance with recall -Risk profile assessment based on: BoP, PPD, environment, genetics, BL/age, tooth loss
69
