| Question | Answer |
| Is the following an example of primary or secondary occlusal trauma? Prosthetic replacements creating excessive force on abutment teeth | Primary occlusal trauma (since the periodontium is healthy) |
| True or False Although secondary occlusal trauma involves a diseased periodontium, both primary AND secondary occlusal trauma have clinically similar features (i.e. attachment loss/pocket formation) | False Evidence does not support an association of primary occlusal trauma with attachment loss, pocket formation, non-carious cervical lesions, or gingival recession |
| Is the following a cause of acute or chronic occlusal trauma? New restorations or prosthetic appliances that interfere with or change direction of occlusal forces on teeth | Acute Acute trauma is produced by any sudden and abrupt changes in occlusal forces. Chronic trauma usually develops from gradual changes. |
| Statement 1: Tooth mobility is a symptom of acute occlusal trauma Statement 2: Chronic occlusal trauma is more common than accute occlusal trauma | Both statements are true Other symptoms of acute occlusal trauma include tooth pain and sensitivity to percussion, however these should subside if force is dissipated |
| Recall the definition of Secondary Occlusal Trauma | Occurs when the adaptive capacity of tissues to withstand occlusal forces is impaired by bone loss that results from marginal inflammation |
| Explain why patients suffering secondary occlusal trauma may experience non-pathological tooth mobility | Excessive force may destroy PDL fibres, causing mobility and eventuating in a widened PDL space over time. Therefore, tooth mobility in these patients is the result of an adaptive process rather than a pathological one |
| Define fremitus | Adaptive tooth mobility |
| A patient presents to the clinic needing a bitewing radiograph. You notice on their patient file that the patient suffers from chronic secondary occlusal trauma. What would you expect to find on their bitewing? | - Increased PDL space width - Thickening of lamina dura - Vertical destruction of interdental crests, creating a "funnelled" PDL appearance - Radiolucencies and condensation of alveolar bone - Root resorption |
| True or False While there is great variability, any non-class-1occlusion will cause some degree of damage to the periodontium. As such, most patients exhibit at least minor signs of occlusal trauma | False Not all malocclusions are harmful to the periodontium and malocclusion is not necessary to produce trauma Similarly, dentition may be anatomically and aesthetically acceptable by functionally injurious |
| True or False Increases in occlusal forces are not traumatic if the periodontium can "handle" it | True However the adaptive capacity of the periodontium varies between people and even within the same person at different times |
| Complete the following Traumatic occlusal forces lead to ________ mobility in teeth with normal support, whereas they lead to ________ mobility in teeth with reduced support | Traumatic occlusal forces lead to ADAPTIVE mobility in teeth with normal support, whereas they lead to PROGRESSIVE mobility in teeth with reduced support |
| A thickened PDL, increased PDL fibres, and increased alveolar bone density are all associated with what kind of changes in occlusal force? a) Changes in magnitude b) Changes in direction c) Changes in duration d) Changes in frequency | a) Changes in magnitude |
| Which occlusal force directions pose the greatest risk to periodontal fibre integrity? a) Posterior and superior b) Lateral and posterior c) Mesial and torque d) Lateral and torque | d) Lateral and torque Principal fibres best accommodate forces along the long axis of the tooth |
| True or False In occlusal trauma, excessive forces which are constant are more injurious to the periodontium than intermittent forces | True |
| Which of the following IS a condition caused by traumatic occlusal forces? (Based on current evidence) a) Attachment loss b) PDL inflammation c) Abfraction d) Acceleration of existing periodontitis e) Gingival recession | d) Acceleration of existing periodontitis |
| Assuming plaque control and oral hygiene are poor, how might orthodontic forces adversely affect the periodontium? | - Root resorption - Pulpal disorders - Gingival recession - Alveolar bone loss |
| What occurs during the Injury (Stage 1) stage of the tissue response to incfreased occlusal forces? | 1. The tooth rotates around the axis of rotation (fulcrum) under forces of occlusion 2. This creates pressure and tension on opposite sides of the fulcrum 3. Slightly excessive pressure stimulates resorption of alveolar bone and widening of PDL psace 4. In severe cases this may cause haemorrhage and PDL tearing |
| After damaged tissue is removed, what new structures/tissues are formed during the Repair (Stage 2) stage of the tissue response to increased occlusal forces? | - Connective tissue cells and fibres - Bone - Cementum |
| What changes occur in the periodontium when excessive forces exceed the repair rate and adaptive remodelling takes place? | - Thickened PDL or triangulation (funnel shaped at crest) - Angular defects in the bone with no pocket formation (no JE migration) - Involved teeth become mobile - Increased vascularity |
| While assisting a dentist, you notice them ask the patient to close their mouth then clench. The dentist then places a finger on the buccal surface of the tooth to detect movement. What is the dentist testing for? | Fremitus |
