Ch 8 Peri-implant Health and Diseases
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Implants, natural teeth or both: connective tissue encircles it ? | Both natural tooth and implant |
| Implants, natural teeth or both: periodontal ligament present? | Natural tooth only |
| Implants, natural teeth or both: cementum present? | Natural tooth only |
| Implants, natural teeth or both: gingival fibers? | Natural tooth only |
| Implants, natural teeth or both: keratinized tissue ? | Natural tooth only |
| Implants, natural teeth or both: junctional epithelium? | Both natural tooth and implant |
| Implants, natural teeth or both: surrounded by alveolar bone? | Both natural tooth and implant |
| How are probing measurements taken on a dental implant? | From a fixed reference point to the base of the pocket. |
| What can happen if an implant is probed with too much pressure? | This will cause the probe to penetrate the biologic seal. |
| Why is calculus on implants generally easy to remove? | Because it does not interlock with the surface. |
| What is true about removing calculus that has formed on an implant? | Some calculus can be difficult to remove and heavier pressure may be required during scaling. |
| Which type of scaler is best for instrumenting around implants? | Scaler made of titanium |
| What type of probe is acceptable for use if light pressure is used? | Metal |
| Periodontal pathogens destroy bone more rapidly in which one: a dental implant or a natural tooth? | Implant |
| Which questions should be asked of an implant patient at their dental appointments? | Do the gums around your implant bleed, is there any bad taste coming from your implant, and have you noticed any changes with your implant? |
| How do connective tissue fibers attach to the surface of the implant? | They run parallel to the implant and abutment surface and encircle the entire implant and abutment. |
| What are some reasons for acquiring a dental implant? | To replace a missing tooth, to support a bridge, to support dentures |
| How often should radiographs be taken of dental implants? | Once per year |
| How long after abutment connection is postoperative healing considered complete? | Approximately 3 months |
| When is osseointegration considered successful? | If there is an absence of gingival inflammation around peri-implant tissues. |
| What are some examples of parafunctional habits? | Clenching, grinding, and bruxing |
| Reversible or irreversible: Peri-implant mucositis? | Reversible |
| Reversible or irreversible: Peri-implant gingivitis? | Reversible |
| Reversible or irreversible: Peri-implantitis? | Irreversible |
| What is true about the onset of peri-implantitis? | May occur early after placement and may progress in nonlinear and accelerating pattern. |
| Peri-implantitis progresses in a fashion similar to what other disease? | Periodontitis |
| What type of cleaning aids are acceptable for use around a dental implant? | toothbrush, floss, end tuft brush |
| What type of cleaning aids are not acceptable for use around a dental implant? | standard wire interproximal brush |
| What surrounds the implant abutment post? | A sulcus lined by sulcular epithelium |
| What is the function of the biologic seal of the implant? | It functions as a barrier between the implant and the oral cavity. |
| The portion of the implant that protrudes through the tissue into the mouth is called the: | abutment post |
| The portion of the implant that is only present above the gumline is called the: | Implant prosthesis |
| The portion of the implant that is only present below the gumline is called the: | Implant body |
| What is a foreboding sign of peri-implant disease and should be immediately addressed if it is seen? | Pus |
| What is the best indicator for diagnosis of implant failure? | Mobility |
| What are some risk factors for implant failures? | Smoking and the same bacteria that are pathogenic to natural teeth |
| How would peri-implantitis be described? | Periodontitis in the tissues surrounding an implant, resulting in bone loss |
| How would peri-implant tissues be described? | The tissues that surround the implant |
| How would hard-tissue deficiencies be corrected? | Ridge augmentation with bone grafting and hard tissue augmentation |
| How much annual bone loss following the implant's first year of function would still be considered a treatment success? | 0.2mm or less |
| What rough surface topography on an implant could induce inflammation and provide an environment for bacterial attachment? | Cement |
| What are some causes of implant failure or causes of unwanted systemic inflammatory effects in an implant? | Zirconia hypersensitivity reaction of the prosthetic component, dental biofilm, suboptimal positioning of the implant |
