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.
