What were the Big Ideas from the reading and class discussion for week 13

Ch. 56 This chapter discusses the basic anatomy of masticatory system and basics of normal occlusion. It also explains the importance of thorough examination of masticatory system and evaluation of occlusion. Ch. 57 In this chapter author describes the benefits of orthodontic treatments on periodontium. The benefits includes: the better access to the teeth, improvements of certain osseous defects, improvements of esthetics, correction open gingival embrasures. It also emphasis that not all defects can be corrected the same way. The key in successful orthodontic therapy is proper diagnosis. Ch. 82 In this chapter author explains that in order to maintain periodontal health it is important to place patients on periodic recall visits for maintenance care. The maintenance visits include three parts: examination, treatment, and scheduling. One of the goals of periodontal maintenance is to know when to refer the patient to periodontist.

Ch-56 The masticatory system includes the teeth, supporting tissues, neuromuscular system, temporomandibular joints and the craniofacial skeleton which must be examine to evaluate and manage the periodontal patient. In order to have a equilibrium between the masticatory system and occlusion it is important to manage the functional status of the patients occlusion clinically. CH-57- Orthodontic therapy can provide several benefits to the adult periodontal patient with underlying periodontal defects. Orthodontic therapy places pressure and tension on the pdl which allows the movement of the teeth and also results in bone resorption. It is important to provide proper diagnosis before orthodontic treatment to solve periodontal problems.

Ch- 82- The formation of plaque and the constant inflammation present requires patient with periodontal and implant therapy to follow a continuous follow up and maintance care. With periodic recalls visits allows the formation of long term prevention and the with patient compliance with recare appointments avoids the recurrence of the disease.

Chapter 56- Evaluation of the patient’s occlusion is a big part of the patient’s periodontal health. Therapy should be considered an adjunct to periodontal treatment and be took into account when treatment planning. Chapter 57- The connection between improving the patient’s periodontal health with orthodontic treatment as an adjunct. Chapter 82 – The stages of care a patient goes through during care. Our goal is to get patients to a maintenance stage because the patient needs to be on a continuous schedule since bacteria is always present.

Chapter 56:The big idea for chapter 56 is the relationship of occlusion with the oral health and how occlusion plays a role in the decease process. A patients susceptibility in periodotal disease should be taken into account when assessing how they occlude Chapter 57: Having straight teeth has more than just aesthetic benefits. Tooth malposition can contribute to difficulty cleaning teeth and thus an increase in oral disease. Orthodonics can improve the health of the periodontium and teeth. Chapter 82: There are different phases of treatments patients go through during dental care. The phases of care are individualized to support the need of each individual stage. The goal is to get the patients through the maintance stage

Ch 56: It is important that the clinician is able to identify any problems with the jaw or mal-occlusion during periodontal assessments because they can have a negative effect on the periodontium. We need to have a good understanding of normal occlusion so we can better identify problems with mal-occlusion and provide proper interventions. Ch 57: Periodontal conditions can be treated differently. This chapter discusses the benefits of adjunct orthodontic therapy on the periodontium. There are several benefits to orthodontic treatment. It allows the patient to have better accessibility when cleaning their teeth. It can improve aesthetics and certain types of osseous defects. It corrects open gingival embrasures to regain lost papilla. It also can improve tooth position before placement of an implant. Orthodontic therapy not only improves the aesthetics of a patient's smile, but improves the health of the periodontium as well. Ch 82: The importance of periodontal maintenance is to help prevent or eliminate periodontal disease. It is very important that patients have a thorough understanding on the importance behind following up with their periodontal maintenance appointments after phase I therapy. Patients need to also understand proper home care in-between visits. When the patient's periodontal health has severely deteriorated beyond control of the hygienist or dentist, the patient must be referred to a specialist such as a periodontist. Ch 56 the big idea for this chapter was funtion of the masticatory system, fuction amd evaluation of the occlution. Ch 57 The big idea for adjunctive orthodontic therapy in regurds to the benifits and preorthodontic surgey and in what circumstances would call for certian surgeries. Ch 82 the big idea for this chapter is the rationale for supporative periodontal treatment, the importance of a maintenance program for post treatment and implant patients.

Ch. 56 This chapter discusses the relationship between occlusion and periodontal health. Assessments must be done in order to determine if occlusal therapy should be implemented into the treatment plan of the patient. Occlusal therapy is an adjunct to periodontal treatment. Ch. 57 This chapter discusses how orthodontics can be a great therapy to help achieve periodontal health. It is important to properly assess the patient in order to determine the proper orthodontic therapy. Ch. 82 This chapter discusses the importance of maintenance visits after the completion of phase one therapy. It is important to emphasize the importance of re-care appointments in order to maintain periodontal health. It has been shown that non-compliance with a re-care program increases risk of tooth loss and attachment loss. The maintenance program includes three steps, evaluation of periodontal health, determining necessary treatment and oral hygiene reinforcement, and scheduling the patient for their next re-care appointment.

Ch56- This chapter discusses occlusion and different therapies. It discusses different procedures to evaluate the occlusion clinically. Ch57- This chapter discusses the benefits of orthodontic braces, the use of ortho to fix osseous defects, and the use of ortho to treat gingival discrepencies. Ch82- This chapter discusses maintenece visits after the completion of phase I therapy. It is important to evaluate and examine the oral cavity and update assessments and medical history forms.

Chp. 56: Evaluations of the TMJ and occlusion are included in the treatment of the periodontally involved patient; these screenings are also performed as a routine assessment for all patients to rule out any disorders that may contribute to destruction of the periodontal attachment apparatus. Chp. 57: The benefits of orthodontic therapy include, aligning crowded or malposed teeth to permit better cleaning, as well as provide esthetic restoration for the patient. It can also close open gingival embrasures. Chp. 82: Periodontal maintenance is important in periodontal health preservation of treated patients to ensure the effectiveness of Phase I therapy. It is imperative to have periodic recall visits to monitor the periodontal health of the patient. Every 3 months all assessments should be checked to assess disease activity, this monitoring and plaque control education is crucial to provide the patient with the best possible outcome. ACS #35

--- Ch 56. this chapter is about occlusion and how it affects periodontal health of patients, occlusion should be taken into account when treatment planning Ch 57. This chapter is about orthodontic treatment is beneficial to patients with malocclusion or have difficulty accessing certain areas of their mouth when cleaning. Ch82. This chapter is about the importance of maintenance after a patient receives treatment. A patient is put on recall of usually 3-6 months between that time it is up to the patient to keep up with their oral health by brushing correctly, flossing regularly, and with the correct technique. At the recal the hygienist cleans the areas the patient cannot access and are unable to remove

Ch 56. The big idea in this chapter is the function of mastication and occlusion. It is important for cliicians to understand the function of these in order to treatment plan. This includes an intr and extra oral exam to notify any tempormandibular problems or occlusal problems to allow for proper therapy. Ch. 57. The big idea in this chapter is the importance and role of orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment can help treat osseous defects and gingival descrepancies. Communication is the most important factor in treating orthodontic patients. Ch. 82. The big idea in this chapter is the importance of periodontal treatment and maintenance and the different phases associated with it.Periodontal patients first year should recall every three months and patients with 5mm or more pocket depths should be seen by a specialist (periodontist).

Chapter 56: Discusses the importance of incorporating a thorough evaluation of occlusion as well as mastication in the periodontal exam. Occlusal interventions should be considered as an adjunct to periodontal therapy and planned along with the patient’s restorative needs. Chapter 57: This chapter discusses ways to integrate orthodontic treatment to solve periodontal problems. Chapter 82: Discusses the importance of the maintaining optimal periodontal health after phase I therapy. This includes referral of patients to periodontist, maintenance for dental implant patients, and a customized maintenance program.
