Types of Gingival Embrasures

Depending on the size of that ‘space’ will depend on what interdental aids you will recommend

What is the col?
Under the contact area between the lingual papilla and facial papilla
DIFFERENT from the embrasureThe epithelium covering the col is thin and non keratinized

3Slide4
Gingivitis
STARTS in the interdental area (or at least has a greater chance of happening) because the col isn’t protected very well
If bacteria from the plaque is left to sit there, it causes inflammation which is gingivitisConcavities and grooves allow that plaque to hide in those areas a lot easier

Assessment
What type of anatomy does the patient have? What do the teeth look like and what does the gingiva look like?
Does the patient have any crowns? Bridges? Implants?Do some plaque assessments – plaque free score for example, or using disclosing tabsIs the patient handicapped? A child? Do they need additional brushing instruction?
**Keep it simple – suggest aids that are easy to use, help them increase their oral hygiene steps but don’t go overboard,
etc

Floss
Waxed – stronger, easier to get through contacts
Thinner floss – helpful in very tight contacts. Special attention must be given to avoid trauma to tissue due to the thin natureUnwaxed – can be hard for the patient to use and can fray
BEST TO USE FLOSS BEFORE BRUSHING
GINGIVITIS AND PERIO BEGINS IN THE COL AREA WHICH IS WHY FLOSSING IS SO IMPORTANT!
