A | B |
Gingival curettage | Sharp curette is placed in sulcus against the sulcular epithelium |
Gingivectomy | Epithelium & connective tissue are removed |
Gingivoplasty | Reshaping of gingiva |
Guided Tissue Regeneration | Uses barrier membrane to help regenerate lost tissue |
Guided Tissue Regeneration | Membrane excludes epithelium & CT |
Resective Bone Surgery | Subtracts/takes away bone |
Augmentive surgery | Adds or builds bone |
Three-wall Defect | Three walls of remaining bone surround an area of bone loss |
Two-wall Defect | Two walls of bone are present around an area of bone loss |
One-wall Defect | One wall of bone is adjacent to an area of bone loss |
Combination Bone Defects | Area of bone loss is irregular with possible combinations of 3, 2, and one-wall defects |
Ostectomy | Removal of tooth supporting bone |
Osteoplasty | Removal of non-tooth supporting bone |
Crown Lengthening | Ostectomy to make room for a restoration |
Biological Width | 1 mm of JE & 1 mm of CT fibers coronal to crest of alveolar bone |
Autograft (bone) | Bone from self to self |
Allograft | Demineralized freeze-dried bone from human donor |
Alloplast | Synthetic bone graft |
Xenograft | Bone graft from another species |
Osteoconduction | Graft serves as a trellis for bone formation |
Osteogenesis | Graft produces new alveolar bone |
Full-thickness Flap | Exposes bone |
Partial-thickness flap | Some CT & periosoteum still cover bone |
Lateral Pedicle Graft | Tissue elevated from adjacent area & moved laterally to cove recession |
Double Papilla Flap | Interdental papilla on either side of recession are lifted & moved toward the middle of a tooth |
Free Gingival Graft | Donor CT & epithelium from the palate are used to cover recession |
Connective Tissue Graft | Donor CT from the palate is used to cover recession |
Frenectomy | Removes a frenum that applies tension to the gingiva |
Laser Therapy | Not legal in WI for hygienists to perform |
Guided Tissue Regeneration | Don't probe for 6 months |
Bone Grafts | Don't probe for at least 6 months |
Gingival Currettage | Heals by formation of a long JE |
Endosteal implant | placed within bone |
Transosteal implant | implant is placed through bone, usually mandibular anterior: staple |
Subperiosteal implant | implant is placed over bone, under periosteum |
Passivation | Stabel implant surface |
Titanium | Most common implant material |
Implant biological seal | JE is similar to the JE on natural tooth |
Gingival CT on implant | Does not insert into implant: parallel |
Osseointegration | Bone cells fuse to implant |
Peri-implantitis | Inflammation and/or loss of bone around implant/implant may fail |
