+A double papilla fap

PERIODONTICSBeer eke ag
answer
+A double papilla flap.
Laterally (horizontally) displaced flap: this technique was the standard technique for
‘many years and is still indicated in some cases. The laterally positioned flap can be used
to cover isolated, denuded roots that have adequate donor tissue laterally and vestibular
depth,
Sliding partial-thickness grafts from neighboring edentulous areas (pedicle grafts) can be
used to estore attached gingiva on teeth adjacent to edentulous spaces with denuded roots
and a small, vestibular fornix, often complicated by tension from a frenum. The “double
papilla flap” attempts to cover roots denuded by isolated gingival defects with a lap
formed by joining the contiguous halves of the adjacent interdenta! popillae. Results with
this technique are often poor because blood supply is impaired by suturing the two flaps
over the root surfuee.
Indications include:
+ Trauma from incorrect toothbrushing (gingival recession)
+ Covering the exposed root surface with gingiva also helps fo reduce or eliminate the
problem of hypersensitivity

PERIODONTICSPeriodontics - Gingivitis/Periodontal Disease
Answer
+ Free radicals
‘Matrix metalloproteinases (IMPs) are considered to be primary proteinases involved in
periodontal tissue destruction by degradation of extracellular matrix molecules. MMPS ate a
family of proteolytic enzymes found in neutrophils, macrophages, fibroblasts, epithelial cells
osteoblasts, and osteoclasts that degrade extracellular matrix molecules, such as collagen, gel-
atin, and elastin, MMP-8 and MMP-t are both collagensses; MMP-8 is released by infil-
trating neutrophils, whereas MMP-1 is expressed by resident cells, including fibroblasts,
‘monoeytes/macrophages, and epithelial cells. Note: MMPs are also precuced bay periodontal
pathogens P. gingivalis and A. aetinomycetemeomitans,
Cytokines are important signaling molecules released fiom cells. Interleukin] (IL-1), IL-8,
and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa), appear to have a central role in periodontal tissue
destruction. The properties of these cytokines that relate to tissue destruction involve
stimulation of bone resorption and induction of tissue-degrading proteinases. IL-1 is a potent
stimulant of osteoclast proliferation (bane resorption), differentiation, and activation. IL-8 is
{important in atracting inflammatory cells, and TNFa has similar effects as IL-1 bot is much
Jess potent thau IL-1. Iis also important i activating moerophages.
Note: Monocytes/macrophages ate very important in regulating the immune response
through the release of cytokines,
Macrophages are recruited to the area of inflammation and are activated (by binding to LPS)
to produce prostaglandins (c.., prosiaglandin Es, PGE). Prostaglandins are biochemically
synthesized from the fatty acid, arachidonic acid of cells membranes in response to cy-
clooxygeneses (COX-1 and COX-2). Cox-2 is upregulated by IL-1, TNF, and bocterial LPS,
and it appears to be responsible for generating the prostaglandin (PGE,) that is associated
with inflammation. Note: The primary cells responsible for PGE production in the
periodontium are macrophages and fibroblasts. Induetion of MMPs and osteoclastic bone
resorption is induced by PGE.Fe ee eco

Which of the following clinical signs and symptoms is characteristic of
necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG)?
+ Minimal bleeding
+ “punched-out” papilise
+ Painless
+ Periodontal pocket formation
PERIODONTICSeee eI eau
Answer
+*punched-out” papillae
Two forms of necrotizing ulcerative periodontal diseases are necrotizing ulcerative gine
givitis (NUG) and necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis (NUP). These conditions represent
acute forms of periodontal destruction typically associated with some form of hast com-
promise.
‘The essential components of NUG are:
* Interdental gingival necrosis: often described as “punched-out” papillae
= Pain
* Bleeding
** Variable features include a fetid ors (offensive odor), lymphadenopathy, fever, and
malaise.
Predominant organisms associated with NUG include P. intermedia, Fusobacterium
species, and spirochetal microorganisms. Note: EM stucies of NUG reveal a zone of
tissue infiltration of spirochetal microorganisms in advanee of the region of tissue
necrosis. NUG is usually associated with predisposing host factors, ineluding stress,
smoking, immunosuppression (as seen with HIV infection), and malnutrition,
[NUP is distinguished from NUG by the loss of elinieal attaettment and bone in affected
sites, but the elinical presentation and etiologic factors are similar to that of NUG in the
absence of systemic disease, In the presence of systemic immunosuppression, exempli-
fied by HIV infection, NUP may result in rapid andl extensive necrosis to the tissues and
‘underlying alveolar bone.
‘The treatment of NUG or NUP includes debridement, hydrogen peroxide (or eblorkex-
{dine) rinses, and antibiote therapy (Pen. V) if there is systemic involvement (manifested
by fever, malaise, and lymphadenopathy). Important: Patients with HIV-associated NUG
require gentle debridement and antimicrobial rinses.Pee ee Net ur ec
