A contraindication for distal wedge removal for periodontal surgery in the mandibular molar area is insufficient space between the distal molar and ascending ramus.
This process occurs due to the deposition of minerals, primarily calcium and phosphate ions, in the presence of organic matrix components and bacteria within the plaque. Mineralization in dental plaque often starts at the interface between the tooth surface and the plaque, where the organic matrix provides a substrate forthe deposition of mineral ions. As the process continues, the plaque can become increasingly calcified, with the mineral content moving from the tooth surface outwards towards the surface of the plaque. This can lead to the formation oftartar or dental calculus, which is a hardened deposit of mineralized plaque that can contribute to dental diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis.
Treatment for ANUG in initial stages without systemic involvement is none of the above; typically, it involves debridement and possibly antibiotics.
