DHED 310: Technology in PERIO and systemic disease connection

how does Computer linked periodontal probes work?

electronically reads and records probing depths

how To control a automated probe

you need a footswitch to control, clinical training and calibration

A automated robe is just as effective as a

traditional probe

how does a Ultrasonic probes work?

first electromagnetic waves broadcast into the sulcus

then it bounce back

lastly the transducer listens to frequency and calculates distance

Ultrasonic probes are recorded by the

transducer

the ultrasonic probe doesn't need

Walking steps

Digital radiographs have a

digital sensor

Computed tomography radiography function-

CBCT-Cone Beam Computed Tomography

takes a series of cross-sectional images using 3d information

someone with DM affects what and how

periodontal status is affected by DM control

Periodontal infection can negatively affect

blood sugar control

More extensive DM therapies done for tx are causing more

hypoglycemic events

Dental implants may indicate more

frequent recalls

What are some research questions about dental implants?

- What self-care measures are bets at preventing per-implant infections?

- What are the most effective maintence protocols for implants

-Should clinicians recommend the same techniques for biofilm control as natural teeth

-what type of instrumentation provides the greatest chance of maintaining dental implants?

The FDA has approved lasers for

soft tissues and bone procedures

Lasers can be used for

-laser bacterial reduction

-laser assisted periodontal therapy

Lasers are used as a

conventional periodontal instrumentation

Genetic testing in dentistry for

to see bodies response to bacteria being directly related to genetic factors

Genetic testing COULD

modify how patients are assigned a grade in 2018 AAP system

Local delivery systems is a

effective adjunct to nonsurgical therapy

Host modulation therapy helps

reduce destruction of periodontal tissues through reduced inflammation, slowed attachment loss, and slowed bone loss

Host modulation utilizes

local delivery systems and alternative drugs

Disease risk assessment is

very effective in assessing risk factors

Stem cell biology can be isolated from

PDL, pulp, dental papillae, and dental follicle

Stem cell biology getting researched rn to

grow own bone or PDL ligament
