Q

What are symptoms of necrotising gingivitis?

A
  • necrosis and ulcer in papilla
  • gingival bleeding
  • pain
  • halitosis
  • pseudomembrane formation
  • lymphadenopathy
17
Q

Define necrotising periodontitis.

A
  • NG with bone loss and LOA
  • bony sequestrum in severely immunocompromised patients
18
Q

What are predisposing factors for NG in adults?

A
  • HIV / AIDS
  • severe immunosuppressed conditions
19
Q

What are predisposing factors for NG in children?

A
  • severe viral infections
  • severe malnourishment
  • extreme living conditions
20
Q

What are predisposing factors for NP?

A
  • uncontrolled risks (stress/nutrition/smoking)
  • previous NP
  • local factors (root proximity/tooth malposition)
  • similar to factors for NG
21
Q

What is a common after NG?

A

Loss of dental papilla

22
Q

Define periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease.

A

Mainly rare diseases that affect the course of periodontitis resulting in the early presentation of severe periodontitis (ie increases the rate of periodontitis).

23
Q

Give examples of diseases that can progress periodontitis.

A
  • papillon lefevre syndrome
  • leucocyte adhesion deficiency
  • hypophosphatasia
  • Down’s syndrome
  • Ehlers-Danlos
24
Q

How does papillon leferve syndrome manifest?

A

Severe periodontitis in deciduous dentition

25
Q

Define systemic diseases (or conditions) affecting the periodontal tissues.

A

Mainly rare conditions affecting the periodontal tissues independently of dental plaque induced inflammation.

26
Q

Give examples of diseases that falsely manifest as periodontitis.

A
  • squamous cell carcinoma
  • Langerhans cell histocytosis
27
Q

How does diabetes affect periodontitis?

A
  • acts as a risk factor
  • adds to the multifactorial nature of periodontitis
  • involved in clinical staging and grading
28
Q

Define recession type 1.

A
  • RT1
  • recession in buccal/lingul regions
  • no loss of inter-proximal attachment
  • inter-proximal CEJ is not detectable
29
Q

Define recession type 2.

A
  • RT2
  • loss of inter-proximal attachment that is less than or equal to the buccal attachment loss
30
Q

Define recession type 3.

A
  • RT3
  • loss of inter-proximal attachment that is greater than buccal attachment loss
