5 - Periodontal Pathogenesis Flashcards
what is the origination and development of a disease
pathogenesis
what is the host respose to a CHALLENGE (insult or injury)
inflammation
inflammation is linked to most chronic diseases of aging and premature births such as what
RVD, RA, alzheimer’s, pancreatic cancer, obesity, pre-term low-bith weight infants, periodontitis
inflammation leads to what remodeling
soft and hard tissue
inflammation is part of what repair process
wound healing repair process
what plays a key role in pathogenesis of periodontal disease
inflammation
what happened in Sri Lankan study
8%: Rapid progression of periodontal disease
81%: Moderate disease progression
11%: No disease progression beyond gingivitis
ALL patients had abundant plaque and calculus.
what causes the different expressions of periodontal disease in all patients in the Sri Lankan study?
the host inflammatory response is different in all patients
what is the etiologic role of bacterial plaque
initiate and perpetuate inflammatory responses in gingival tissues
___ responses determines susceptibility to disease
immune-inflammatory
what is the primary etiology to perio disease
biofilm
what is the paradox to the role of inflamamtion
Host defense processes to prevent
ingress of bacteria result in most of
the tissue damage leading to clinical
manifestations of disease.
unique features of perio disease
- Not caused by a single organism
- Bacteria that colonize the subgingival sulcus are effectively OUTSIDE the body
- Yet, the inflammatory response develops INSIDE the body.
what are present in clinically healthy gingiva
- PMN leukocytes
- lymphocytes
- macrophages
- outflow of GCF
- steady state equilibrium between low-grade inflammation and subgingival microflora
what migrates thru CT thru JE into sulcus
PMN leukocytes
what is attracted by chemotactic stimuli created by bacterial products
macrophages
what disease occurs prior to periodontitis
gingivitis
T/F: all gingivitis progresses to periodontits
FALSE! not all gingivitis progresses to perio
gingivitis is dependent on what
host inflammatory response and susceptibility to disease
what are the different stages of lesions in the histopathology of of gingivitis and periodontitis
- intial lesion
- early lesion
- established lesion
- advanced lesion
what lesion:
Develops within 2-4 days of plaque accumulation
Slightly elevated vascular permeability
GCF flow
PMN
initial lesion
what lesions corresponds to “clinical gingival health”
initial lesion
what lesion:
Increased vascular permeability, vasodilation, GCF flow
PMN
Lymphocytes
Collagen destruction: apical and lateral to JE and sulcular epithelium
60% of collagen destruction occurs
proliferation of JE
early lesion
what lesion corresponds to EARLY GINGIVITIS
early lesion
