Study Notes
Secondary Local Factors in Periodontal Disease
- Secondary local factors are those that exacerbate periodontal disease, increasing plaque accumulation or making oral hygiene difficult.
- Examples of secondary local factors include factors that increase plaque biofilm accumulation, or make maintaining effective oral hygiene challenging.
- Aetiological factor in periodontal disease: Plaque bacteria.
Developmental Secondary Local Risk Factors
- Developmental factors are those present from the time of tooth development.
- Examples of developmental secondary local risk factors include dens in dente and root grooves.
Iatrogenic Secondary Local Risk Factors
- Iatrogenic factors are those resulting from dental procedures.
- Examples of iatrogenic secondary local risk factors include amalgam overhangs and Maryland bridges.
Calculus as a Secondary Local Factor
- Calculus is a secondary local factor due to its rough surface and porous nature. This allows for plaque retention, furthering the problem.
Traumatic Overbite and Plaque Retention
- Traumatic overbite can cause plaque retention due to direct gingival trauma.
Trauma as a Secondary Local Risk Factor
- Factors like tongue piercing, lip piercing, or traumatic overbite can cause trauma which, in turn, can be secondary local risk factors for periodontal disease.
Oral Hygiene Coaching for Patients with Fixed Orthodontic Appliances
- Focus areas when coaching a patient with fixed orthodontic appliances, include cleaning between teeth using interdental brushes; cleaning above and below brackets, and focusing on the gum line; and cleaning both inside and outside surfaces.
Root Grooves and Dental Prognosis
- A root groove detected during a BPE (Basic Periodontal Examination) on tooth 12 (UR2) does not automatically mean a poor prognosis if the groove extends to the apical portion of the root.
