definition of Periodontal disease
inflammation of supporting structures surrounding the teeth
supporting structures of tooth
gingiva
periodontal lig
alveolar bone
predisposition of Periodontal disease
older
smaller
non abrasive foods
rough tooth surface
malocclusion
diabetes
retroviral infection
Plaque formation
adheres to all surfaces of the tooth
how is plaque formed
layers of bacteria, saliva, food become mineralised forming calculus –> cytokine release -> stimulated osteoclasts -> thinning of bone within socket
what is gingivitis
reversible inflammation of marginal gum due to plaque in sulcus
what is periodontitis
reversible inflammation of marginal gum & supra alveolar tissue
what does tooth loss occur in periodontitis
at 80% of loss of support
Clinical signs of periodontitis
halitosis
discomfort when eating
bloody saliva
oronasal fistula
treatment of periodontitis
plaque removal
polish and scale
prevention of periodontitis
daily brushing
chew toys
dental diets
what is FORL
Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions
definition of FORL
reactivation of odontoclast cells which stimulate the resorption of tooth structure
clinical signs of FORL
reluctance to eat dry food
pain with eating
hyperplastic gingival tissue
diagnosis of FORL
visual exam and probing
xray - retained roots
treatment of FORL
extraction
definition of stomatitis
inflammation of oral mucosa
how is stomatitis classified
according to lesion and localisation
stomatitis by lesion
simple
ulcerative
ulcerative & pseudomembranous
necrotising
Proliferative
stomatitis by localisation
gingivitis
periodontitis
glossopalatine arch
faucitis
causes of stomatitis
systemic disease
immune mediated disease
immunosuppression
traumatic, physical or chemical
virus
