Terms and Techniques
Does not involve reflecting the facial aspect of the maxillary anterior soft tissue to improve esthetics, facial bone resorption and potential speech impediments following surgery.
What is Curtain technique?
The most common intrabony lesion found in periodontitis.
What is a shallow interdental crater?
The B-L ramping is not recommended to exceed this angle in osseous resection of maxillary molars.
What is 10 degrees?
This author advocated placing the soft tissue no more than 2 mm coronal to the osseous crest following MWF procedures to reduce the incidence of residual deep PD.
Who is Dr. Machtei?
This is the primary concern with molars that are treated using tunnelling techniques.
What is developing caries? (4/7 or ~ 57%)
The removal of soft tissue without prior Sc/RP or other peroiodontal "plastic" procedures.
What is the unembellished gingivectomy?
Osseous resection would be contraindicated for this intrabony defect with this many walls
What is 3? Or deep 2 wall?
The average lingual inclination of mandibular first molars.
What is 20 degrees?
This author is credited for introducing osseous resective surgical techniques in the US in the 1940's.
Who is Dr. Schlugar?
Tooth mobility increased initially after osseous resective surgery however returned to or below initial mobility after this amount of time.
What is one year?
This term refers to the removal of non-supporting bone.
What is Osteoplasty?
Radiographic detection of the base of a crater and relating it to the root trunk is more accurate for these Molars.
What is the mandibular molars?
The soft tissue will "follow" the interproximal bone of up to this angle.
What is 30 degrees?
This author showed the success rates of resected molars and molar implants to be similar over a 15 year period.
Who is Dr. Fugazzotto?
This surgical approach reduces pocket depths over the long term better than any other pocket reduction technique studied by Dr. Kaldahl and Kalkwarf.
What is Flap Osseous with APF?
Uses two vertical releasing incisions to aid in positioning soft tissue.
What is the Apically Repositioned Flap?
The buccal root trunk of a maxillary 1st molar is considered short when measuring this many mm.
What is 3 mm?
Soft tissue will follow the buccal bone of prominent teeth up to this degree.
What is 60 degrees?
His thesis work showed the maximum circumferential mean reduction of supporting bone following osseous resection to be 1.5mm.
Who was Dr. Selipsky?
These three bacterial species associated with periodontal disease are members in the red complex.
What are B. Forsythus, P. Gingivitis, T. Denticola?
The purposeful exposure of a furcation, creating a Glickman Grade IV furcation defect to improve cleansibilty.
What is a Tunneling Procedure?
The average Root Trunk Length of a Maxillary two rooted Premolar.
What is 7.9mm?
Ramping osseous contours of mandibular molars apically to the lingual and accessing the lesions from the lingual was advocated by Dr. Tibbetts to avoid exposing this.
What is the buccal furcation?
First introduced the terms Osteoplast and Ostectomy in 1955.
Who is Friedman?
This is the recommended sequential steps for performing osseous resective surgery.
What is 1) Vertical grooving, 2) Osteoplasty/Blending and thinning Buccal and lingual walls, 3) Reduction of craters/interproximal lesions, 4) B and L Ostectomy to achieve positive architecture?
