| 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 |
