Periodontal+Surgery+Options



Article: The effect of Periodontal Surgery on Bite Force, Occlusal Contact Area and Bite Pressure. Big Idea: Pressure measurement film helps in determine the occlusal changes done when periodontal surgery occurs. --- Mayte Hernandez

Big Idea: Dental Implants will become an integral part of periodontal therapy/treatment.-Martina S. #40 Big Idea: scaling and root planning will slow the progression of the disease however, periodontal surgery (depending on the type) will regains some of the periodontal ligament that was lost. Eman Big Idea: The soft tissue scaffold made of silk fibroin can help ensure the three-dimensional look of the soft tissue is regenerated after periodontal surgery reconstruction.--Barbara Richardson #37

Big Idea: Tunneling, in a properly selected patient who is motivated to perform excellent oral hygiene, can result in comfortable, functional, healthy retention of a periodontally involved tooth (class III furcation), with minimal time and money. -Brittany

Big Idea: The goal of osseous surgery is to produce osseous contours that are consistent witht he shape and form of the healthy gingival tissues. By creating a bony architecture that mimics the final shape of the gingiva, it is thought that pocket reduction cannot only be obtained, but also maintained. -Tonya

Big Idea: Enamel Matrix Derivative is an effective bone grafting material for intrabony regenerative therapy, with 1.46-3.39 mm clinical attachment level improvements. Elizabeth Munoz #34

Periodontal therapy used to focus mainly on halting the disease process, now periodontal therapy is also focused on the regeneration of lost periodontal tissues through procedures such as guided tissue regeneration, and bone grafting.--Christy

Big Idea: Periodontal surgery can be benificial for most patients, depending on age, condition, systemic factors and patient compliance, bone grafting and other techniques to repair the periodontium can benifit the overal prognosis. -Nichole Tillison #41 Periodontal surgery is one that needs to be well explained to the patient because it can affect their quality of life with pain and discomfort, changes in esthetics or function, cost of therapy and tooth loss.-Martha E. Rosas #38
 * Big Idea:

Big idea: Although periodontal surgery has favorable results, there are side effects such as sensitivity, esthetically changed teeth due to the longer appearance, and new interproximal spaces that are secondary to the periodontal bone loss.-Chris Fisher#27 || Big Idea:

Periodontal surgery is very beneficial to periodontal defects when it is minimally invasive with ideal results and patient compliance/acceptance. -Lyn 26
