2. Microbiology and Smoking Flashcards
What papillae are present in the tongue?
- Filiform (Most Numerous)
- Fungiform
- Foliate
- Circumvellate
What antibodies are in GCF?
IgA
IgG
What are the seven levels of evidence supports the bacterial etiology of periodontal disease?
- Clinical Observation
- Perio Dx in germ free animals
- Observation of monoinfected animals
- Experimental disease in animals and humans
- Plaque control in humans
- Epidemiological Studies
- Pathogenic potential of bacterial plaque
Discuss Loe’s work in 1965
- Plaque causes gingivitis
- 10-21 days are required to develop clinically detectable gingivitis
- Resolves with OH in 1 week
- Plaque changes from gram (+) (90-100%) to gram (-) (40-50%)
Discuss the non specific plaque hypothesis
The whole bacteria community causes periodontal disease
Discuss the specific plaque hypothesis
Certain bacteria cause the disease
only about 20 bacteria that are associated with the progression of periodontal disease
What is the bacterial flora in health?
- gram-positive
- Non Motile
- Streptococci and Actinomyces
(majority (75-80%) is gram-positive Streptococci and Actinomyces)
What is the bacterial flora in gingivitis?
Gram + rods
A Viscous
Löe–> A. Viscosus was significantly associated with marginal gingivitis
What is the bacterial flora in perio dx
- Gram Negative
- Increasing motility
- S Sanguis, F Nucleatum
Bacterial Flora in ANUG
Spirochete - T Pallidium
Bacterial Flora in ANUP
50% are uncultivable
What bacterial flora in abscess
Gram - rods
What are the red complex bacteria
- T Forsythia
- T Denticola
- P Gingivalis
What are the virulence factor of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Aa)? (6)
- Polysaccharide / LPS
- Leukotoxin
- Extracellular proteins
- GroEl heat shock protein
- Fimbriae
- Other membrane proteins
What are the Virulence Factors in T Denticola?
- LPS
- Flagellum
- Extracellular Proteolytic Enzyme
