Periodontal anatomy More periodontal anatomy, Page 16 has a good section on long junctional epithelium Periodontal indices old and new. They are well defined in this section in case of an exam question Epidemiology (Boring but important to perio) Dont have to read the summary tables page 64 65. Covers the periodontal risk factors pretty well Covers the important topic of plaque as well as biofilms and their development. Microbiology. Current pathogens covered 112 120 know well, comparisons to other diseases pp 106 107, history of potential culprits pp 108 111 Biofilms in detail (common topic in periodontics) How the damage in periodontal disease is caused by plaque, the pathogenic factors in plaque, diabetes and smoking influences. Initial, early, advanced lesion. Pathogenesis stage by stage (Know it real well) Immune response a good summary Smoking, Diabetes, Pregnancy and Puberty. (Great summary diagram Fig 6-5 on diabetes damage) Chronic periodontal disease. Pp 214 scaling vs root planning when to just scale when to root plane (know it well) Aggressive periodontitis. How to diagnose and identify the condition. Periodontal abcess its causes and treatment. Vertical root fracture (good for perio and endodontics) Trauma from occlusion (352 355 history of trauma research careful as periodontics no longer believe that it plays any significant role in most patients ) Fig 15.7 and fig 15.9 are good diagrams of the modern view on occlusion and periodontics. Periodontics and relationship to heart disease, pregnancy, diabetes. PP 382 good diagram of etiology Periodontal examination of a patient (How to examine and what to examine) pp 407 errors in probing, pp 409 definitions of furcation depth, treatment planning. Pp 421 has a good flowchart. Supportive periodontal therapy the new word for maintenance Vertical root fracture and periodontics Scaling and root planning. Very good shows how to scale and goes through in great detail. Scaler design and curette design. Page 444 diagram shows a good diagram of attachment level and recession vs probing depth (know it backwards) How to brush your teeth flossing, woodsticks, interproximal brushes (Not exciting but you need to know it) Chlorhex, triclosan, toothpastes and chemicals. You need to know it as it is a favourate topic of periodontists. The section is a bit more detailed than needed so you will need to summarise it Subgingival chemicals and antimicrobials. Not used much in Australia by the periodontal community. Surgical intervention in periodontics vs non surgical periodontics. (A bit technical but important to know the basics) Periodontal wound healing. Written as an introduction to GTR but how a scaled socket heals is important for exams.

GTR technique (Not used much in general periodontics except to treat grade II furcation involved lower molars) Page 679, 694 695 Regeneration in periodontics (Selection criteria of who it will be effective on covered on page 679 of who GTR will be good for) Page708 717 Treatment of furcation involved teeth including diagnosis of the different types of furcation levels as well as the treatment for the different levels of furcation involvement. Page 781 801 This is the whole chapter. Supportive periodontal therapy the new and improved concept of maintenance therapy. Whole lot is very good including the flowcharts. It helps answer the exam question what to do after initial scaling and root planning. Know this chapter totally
