Study Notes
Non-Surgical Periodontal Instrumentation
-
Patient compliance is essential for successful treatment.
-
Factors that play a role in patient compliance:
- Host defense & susceptibility: The patient's immune system and their ability to fight infection.
- Bacterial load: The amount of bacteria present in the mouth.
- Local and systemic factors: These can include conditions like diabetes, smoking, and malnutrition, which can affect the patient's ability to heal.
-
Factors that play a role in patient compliance:
-
Accessibility during instrumentation impacts treatment success significantly.
- Ergonomics: This is critical for both the clinician and the nurse to ensure comfortable and efficient treatment.
- Positioning: The patient and operator's positions can determine the ease of access to difficult areas.
- Leverage: Proper positioning allows for safe and effective use of instruments.
- Operator fatigue: Proper positioning can help minimize operator fatigue, reduce the risk of trauma to the patient, and reduce the risk of repetitive strain injury (RSI).
- Four-handed dentistry: This approach can significantly improve access and visibility.
- Surgical design: Careful surgical planning can optimize access for instrumentation.
-
Visibility, illumination, and retraction: These are essential for effective instrumentation.
- Direct vision: Ideal for clear observation of the treatment area.
- Indirect vision: Used when direct vision is limited.
- Retraction: Of what? Why? How? (more details needed).
-
Condition of the instrument: Crucial for safe and effective instrumentation.
- Sharpness: Sharp instruments are essential for efficient biofilm removal and minimizing tissue trauma.
- Working end features: Different instrumentation for different needs: (more details needed - specify features)
- Warping: Warped instruments compromise effectiveness and can damage tissue.
- Bent Instruments: This can happen due to trauma during sterilization or improper storage.
-
Clean field: Essential to prevent contamination.
- Wet field: Wet with saliva or blood.
- Pooling of saliva/blood: Potential source of infection.
- How to resolve: (more details needed)
-
Operator Action:
- Stabilization: Important for precise control and to prevent instrument slippage.
- Action: The steps involved in manipulating the instrument.
- Stroke: The specific movement of the instrument.
-
Objectives of Non-Surgical Periodontal Instrumentation:
- Biofilm removal: Elimination of the bacterial colony on the tooth surface.
- Hard deposits removal: Examples?
- Inflammation reduction: Inflammation control and management.
- Soft tissue attachment: Encourages tissue reattachment to root surfaces.
- Biocompatible tooth surface: Aim to create a surface that promotes healing and reduces the risk of further infection.
- Motivation, Ownership, Monitoring, Education, and Praise: These play a critical role in encouraging patient compliance and a successful long-term outcome.
