i am periodontally attached!

haa.. i lurveeee my perio specialist coz she respected me for who i am. and i think she has a good fikrah too in Islam.. lovedddd herrrr sooo muchhhh, argh!

these are the things i learnt at perio

1) calcium sulphate. used to prevent gum from going back to its place after open flap surgery. example : calcium sulphate is placed at furcation area, to hold the site from getting exposed again. it will resorbed later but takes time (rather than not placing anything)

2) collaplug. to support bone from further resorption. example : after extraction, we put allograft inside the socket. then we put collaplug on top - to induce blood clot too?? not sure. and to maintain the thickness of the bone (plan for implant later)

3) perio stick / fiber stick . my sp used this to splint acrylic teeth. the stick is bonded with composite to teeth surfaces and also to acrylic teeth. concept : maryland bridge + splint.

4) colgate pro relief - just like in the iklans.

5) creosote (xtau eja camne) - this thing will mummify nerves, and also has analgesic effect. leave it 2-3 days inside canal, then patient will come again with no bleeding inside canal.

6) biotene mouthwash - we use this for an SLE patient. this thing will reduce formation of plaque.

7) we do reviews like this : if fmps and fmbs more than 20%, patient should be reviewed again after 2 weeks. if less, make it 6 weeks (not sure). if no more pockets (pocket depth all less than or equal to 5mm), and fmps/fmbs less than 20%, patient can be put in maintainence phase (meaning active treatment completed). so the review will be 3 months, 6 months and 9 months. EASY right???

i remembered my lecturer, Dr Rola said that supportive periodontal treatment never stopped. its a lifetime treatment! --> kalau kita apply this to gomen clinic, imagine how many patient can we kumpul through out hundreds of years working. patient akan stop bilamana dia mati saja! auwh
