    Study Notes

    Implantlogy Program (Basic Implantology) - Semester 2

    • Course taught by Ass.Prof.Dr. Marwa Mohammed Tawfiq
    • Associate professor of Oral medicine and periodontology
    • Beni-suef university

    Periodontal Regeneration

    • The reproduction or reconstitution of lost or injured parts of the tooth supporting structures to restore form and function
    • The process involves restoring lost tissues during periodontal disease, including structures like alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament
    • It's a complex process with diseased periodontium, cells, scaffolds, and signaling molecules requiring blood supply
    • Periodontal repair involves healing by long junctional epithelium without completely restoring architectural function or form.

    Regenerative Periodontal Therapy

    • Aims to reproduce or reconstitute lost or injured parts of the tooth supporting structures
    • This process is critical to restoring the form and function of the lost structures, supporting tissues during periodontal disease
    • Regrowth of cementum, alveolar bone and periodontal ligament is part of treating periodontal disease

    Reattachment

    • The reunion of epithelial and connective tissue with a root surface surgically or mechanically separated
    • New attachment may involve epithelial adhesion or connective tissue adaptation or include new cementum
    • This typically happens when the attachment has been lost due to disease progression

    Classification of Periodontal Pockets

    • Gingival sulcus (shallow pocket)
    • Free gingiva
    • Attached gingiva
    • Free gingival groove
    • Mucogingival junction
    • Alveolar mucosa
    • Gingival pocket
    • Suprabony periodontal pocket
    • Intrabony periodontal pocket
    • Classification based on the position of the pocket base relative to the underlying bone
    • 3-wall, 2-wall, combination, and 1-wall defects

    Types of Periodontal Pockets

    • Pockets can involve 1, 2, or more tooth surfaces
    • They can be different depths and types on the same tooth surface
    • Pockets can be spiral, originating on one tooth surface and twisting around to involve multiple surfaces
    • This is most often the case in furcation areas

    Horizontal vs. Intrabony Bone Loss

    • Horizontal bone loss occurs when the bone loss is parallel to a line drawn from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) of one tooth to the CEJ of an adjacent tooth
    • This is a common pattern of bone loss seen in periodontal disease
    • Intrabony pockets are pockets where the base of the pocket lies below the level of the adjacent alveolar bone
    • This is indicated by more rapid bone resorption

    Healing of Three-Wall Intrabony Defects

    • Blood clot fills the defect immediately after surgery
    • The clot and surrounding tissues contain growth factors, proteins, and molecules necessary for normal wound healing
    • Organization of the clot occurs several days later with increased blood vessels and granulation tissue formation
    • Epithelial cells from the wound margins begin to migrate across the clot
    • Osteogenic activity appears around the developing capillaries by the 21st day
    • The socket is filled with bone by 2 months with continuing calcification
    • Bone fill is visible on radiographs by 6 months

    Preparation for Regeneration and Attachment

    • Three critical areas of treatment for regeneration and attachment:
    • Granulation tissue of the defect
    • The root surface
    • The underlying bone
    • Removal of bacterial deposits, calculus, and endotoxins on the cementum surface
    • Demineralization of the root surface to expose dentin collagen
    • Decortification involving the formation of small holes in the bone

    Periodontal Regeneration Procedures

    • Grafting procedures
    • Guided tissue regeneration (GTR)
    • Root conditioning and biomodification
    • Biologic mediators for periodontal regeneration (e.g., Emdogain)
    • Combination of the above procedures

    Grafting Materials

    • Osteoinductive: induce bone formation in surrounding soft tissues through growth factors
    • Osteoconductive: provide a scaffold for the formation of new bone
    • Osteoneutral: serve only as space fillers
    • Different types of grafts based on origin (autogenous, allogenic, xenogenic, alloplastic) and substitutes (e.g., bone substitutes)

    Selection of Graft Material Criteria

    • Osteoinductive potential
    • Osteoconductivity
    • Accessibility
    • Availability
    • Safety and biological compatibility
    • No risk of disease transmission (e.g., AIDS, viruses)

    Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR)

    • Aims to regenerate lost periodontal structures (i.e., cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone)
    • Involves cell and tissue repopulation of periodontal wounds
    • Repair involving connective tissue adhesion and long junctional epithelium formation

    Barriers in GTR

    • Exclusion of epithelial and gingival connective tissue cells from the periodontal defect
    • Membranes maintain space between defect and barrier for regenerative cells from periodontal ligament
    • Barriers stabilize clots

    Indications for GTR

    • Intra-bony defects
    • Furcations
    • Gingival recession
    • Alveolar ridge augmentation

    Biocompatible Barrier Membranes

    • Should be biocompatible to avoid immune response
    • Material should act as a barrier to prevent undesirable cell types
    • Must create space for tissue ingrowth from the periodontal ligament to the root surface

    Technique for GTR

    • Surgical initiations : Sulcular incisions
    • Removal of all granulation tissue
    • Debridement of root surfaces
    • Shape membrane to cover defect, extending at least 3mm beyond defect margins
    • Fixation with sutures and chlorhexidine gluconate rinse (at least 4 weeks)
    • Systemic antibiotics during and after surgery
    • Removal of non-resorbable membranes after 4-6 weeks

    Causes of GTR Failure

    • Surgical technique (improper incision placement, excessive loss of marginal tissue, trauma, etc)
    • Post-surgical factors (plaque recolonization, mechanical insult, loss of wound stability, etc)
    • Barrier-dependent factors (inadequate barrier adaptation, non-sterile technique, premature barrier exposure, etc)

    Contraindications for GTR

    • Class II furcations
    • Horizontal bone loss
    • Patient's health, compliance, and tooth mobility
    • Any medication or conditions that might hinder proper healing

    Types of Barrier Membranes

    • Non-absorbable: Last longer but require a second procedure for removal
    • Bio-absorbable: Avoids second surgery, but absorption can take weeks to months

    Root Surface Conditioning Materials

    • Tetracycline
    • Citric acid

    Biological Mediators for Periodontal Regeneration

    • Growth and differentiation factors (e.g., PDGF, IGF, FGF)
    • Mediators of bone metabolism (e.g., BMPs)
    • Attachment factors (e.g., fibronectin)
    • Extracellular matrix proteins (e.g., enamel matrix proteins)

    Bone Regeneration in Implant Dentistry

    • Dental implants are widely used for missing teeth restoration
    • The need to regenerate alveolar bone in certain situations for implant success
    • Bone regeneration procedures can improve stability, predictability, and long-term success of implant treatments

    Factors Affecting GBR outcomes

    • Patient-related: Compliance, history of periodontitis, smoking
    • Biomaterials-related: Barrier/graft properties, clinical handling, resorption pattern, bioactivity
    • Surgery-related: Healing protocol, surgical complications
    • Implant-related: Implant surface
    • Prosthetic-related: Loading protocol, abutment characteristics

    Principles of GTR

    • Aiming at regeneration of lost periodontal structures (cementum, PDL, and alveolar bone)
    • Selective repopulation of periodontal wounds

    The Biology of Bone Regeneration

    • Cell recruitment: recruitment of osteoprogenitor cells for the start of the process
    • Matrix deposition: blood clot provides a scaffolding for the growth of cells through the wound area
    • Signaling pathways: signaling pathways, such as BMP and VEGF, regulate the differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells
    • Submerged vs Non-submerged healing protocols
    • Surgical complications: soft tissue dehiscence, membrane exposure, infections, leading to decreased quality and stability

    Molecular Mechanisms of Bone Formation

    • Hydrophilic and moderately rough surfaces promote early bone formation and favorable immune response
    • Complex signaling pathways regulate cell proliferation, osteogenesis (bone formation) and angiogenesis to achieve bone regeneration

    The Impact of Biomaterials

    • Importance of barrier membranes (and bone grafts / substitutes)
    • Properties of various materials: Their impact on bone regeneration, space maintenance, and stability of the procedure

    The Impact of Prosthetic Factors

    • Implant loading timing (immediate, early, conventional)
    • Abutment characteristics: Design and properties influence peri-implant tissue stability and maintenance of regenerated bone
    • Periodontitis history, systemic conditions (diabetes, osteoporosis), smoking

    History of Periodontitis, Compliance, and Oral Hygiene

    • Thorough assessment of oral conditions required
    • Development of an individual oral healthcare plan
    • Coaching patients on proper oral hygiene
    • Professional plaque removal

    Systemic Conditions and Smoking

    • Underlying medical conditions can negatively affect bone and soft tissue healing during regeneration
    • Smoking is detrimental to wound healing, increasing the risk of complications and implant failure

    Diabetes Mellitus

    • Diabetes is linked to complications (bone disease/osteopathy) during implant placement, potentially affecting peri-implant bone formation and mineralization
    • This may also lead to negative impacts on bone regeneration quality.

    Considerations in Osteoporosis

    • Osteoporosis affects bone quality in the jaw and may correlate with reduced bone density/increased cortical porosity
    • Patients with osteoporosis are at higher risk for complications during implant procedures, so the clinician should extend healing time
    • A diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis may not prevent implant placement today

    Risks of Peri-Implantitis

    • Prevalence of peri-implantitis (inflammation around implants) may vary based on initial implant location
    • It is important to monitor peri-implant diseases for both pristine and regenerated sites

    Future Directions in Bone Regeneration

    • Tissue engineering approaches integrating cells, biomaterials, and signaling pathways can revolutionize treatment methods
    • Personalized approaches will utilize proteomics and transcriptomics to create customized treatments, improving outcomes,

    Considerations for GBR Success

    • Space maintenance is crucial
    • Bioactivity, stability, and appropriate grafting materials play a role in GBR outcomes
    • Clinical success requires monitoring
    • A variety of strategies support ideal stability in GBR outcomes
