    Study Notes

    Preferred Sequence of Periodontal Therapy

    • Treatment phases: Emergency, Etiotropic, Surgical, Restorative, and Maintenance.
    • Emergency Phase addresses urgent issues like abscess treatment and tooth extractions.
    • Etiotropic Phase focuses on plaque control, dietary adjustments, and calculus removal.

    Objectives of Periodontal Therapy

    • Elimination of pain, inflammation, bleeding, and infection.
    • Reduction in periodontal pockets and tooth mobility.
    • Prevention of pus formation and soft tissue/bone destruction.
    • Restoration of proper occlusal function and physiological gingival contour.

    Factors Affecting Healing

    • Local Factors:

      • Contamination from microorganisms, plaque, and food debris delays healing.
      • Excessive tissue manipulation and trauma can hinder recovery.
      • Improved healing occurs with temperature increases, debridement, and immobilization.

    • Systemic Factors:

      • Healing is slower in older patients due to vascular changes.
      • Factors like food intake deficiencies, hormonal levels, and systemic stress can adversely impact healing.

    Phases of Treatment

    • Preliminary/Emergency Phase:

      • Immediate treatment for dental abscesses and extractions if necessary.

    • Phase I (Etiotropic Therapy):

      • Focus on comprehensive plaque and calculus control.
      • Antimicrobial therapy and occlusal adjustments may be necessary.

    • Phase II (Surgical Therapy):

      • Conduct root canal procedures and periodontal surgeries, including implants.

    • Phase III (Restorative Phase):

      • Implement final restorations, including fixed and removable prosthodontics.
      • Evaluate response to restorative treatments.

    • Phase IV (Maintenance Phase):

      • Regular recall visits and monitoring for plaque and calculus accumulation.

    Healing After Periodontal Therapy

    • Regeneration: Full restoration of lost tissues, including new periodontal ligament and bone.
    • Repair: Healing without complete restoration of original tissue structure.
    • New Attachment: Reunion of connective tissue to a pathologically exposed root surface.
    • Reattachment: Connection of tissue to a root surface after separation due to injury.

    Key Points to Note

    • Effective periodontal treatment can restore health to periodontal tissues.
    • Treatment incorporates both local and systemic therapies.
    • Successful healing relies on controlling local factors such as plaque accumulation.
    • Systemic therapy is often an adjunct in cases of aggressive periodontitis.
    • Proper debridement and immobilization are crucial for improved healing outcomes.
