1 - Classification of Periodontal Disease Flashcards
What is the definition of periodontal health?
- intact periodontium
- patients with reduced periodontium due to causes other than periodontitis
- patients with a reduced periodontium due to periodontitis
Define gingival heath.
- intact periodontium
- absence of BOP, oedema, erythema, symptoms, and loss of attachment or loss of bone levels
What are healthy bone levels?
Range from 1.0 - 3.0 mm apical to cemento-enamel junction
Define plaque induced gingivitis.
- intact periodontium (or reduced due to non-perio reasons)
- associated with biofilm alone
- can be exacerbated by drugs or risk factors
Define localised BOP.
< 30 %
Define generalised BOP.
> 30 %
What are modifying factors of plaque induced gingivitis?
- sex hormones (including pregnancy)
- hyperglycaemia
- leukemia
- smoking
- malnutrition
- poor restoration margins
- hyposalivation
- drugs
What is a pregnancy epulis?
Mucogingival deformity
What are some common drugs that influence gingivitis?
- immunosuppressants
- antipsychotics
- hypertension
What are common causes of non-plaque induced gingivitis?
- genetic / developmental disorders
- specific infections
- inflammatory / immune conditions
- reactive processes
- neoplasms (cancer)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
- traumatic lesions
- gingival pigmentation
Give an example of a genetic condition that causes non-plaque induced gingivitis.
Gingival fibromatosis
Give an example of an infection that causes non-plaque induced gingivitis.
- herpetic gingival stomatitis
- candida albicans
Give an example of an inflammatory condition that causes non-plaque induced gingivitis.
- lichen planus
- benign mucosal membrane pemphigoid (oral manifestation of systemic disease)
Give an example of a nutritional deficiency that causes non-plaque induced gingivitis.
Vitamin C
Define necrotising gingivitis.
- no hard tissue involvement
- rapidly destructive, non-communicable microbial disease caused by impaired host response
