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
what lesion
Plasma cells
Lymphocytes
PMN
Elevated release of MMPs and lysosomal contents
from PMN
Significant collagen destruction
established lesionw
what lesion corresponds to ESTABLISHED GINGIVITIS
established lesion
what lesion
Plasma cells in CT
PMN in pocket epithelium
Apical migration of JE
Collagen destruction extends into PDL and bone
Osteoclastic bone resorption
advanced lesion
what lesion correspons to PERIODONTITIS
advanced lesion
what are the inflammatory responses in periodontium
- molecules signal tissue damage
- majority of tissue destruction results from host inflammatory process
- bacteria drive and perpetuate the inflammation
how do molecules signal tissue damage?
- microbial virulence factors
- host immune-inflammatory response
how does tissue destruction occurs from host inflammatory processes
excessive, dysregulated production of inflammatory mediators, enzymes
T/F: bacteria drive and perpetuation to inflammation contributes to a LARGE proportion of tissue damage
FALSE! contributes to SMALL proportion of tissue damage
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is recognized by what TLR
TLR-4
what is a cell surface receptor that recognizes microbe associated molceular patterns and is found on innate immune cells
TLR-4
what is:
Lipid A component
Polysaccharide component
Found in outer membrane of gram-negative
bacteria
Endotoxin
Elicits strong immune response
Recognized by host Toll-like receptor (TLR)
LPS
porphyromonas gingivalis has an atypical LPS that is recognized by what
TLR-2 and TLR-4
the host response to LPS results in what
- increased production of cytokines
- differentiation of immune cells
what stimulates immune response less potently than LPS and is made of gram+ cell walls
lipoteichoic acid (LTA)
what recognizes LTA
TLR-2
what are bacterial enzymes and noxious products
- ammonia
- hydrogen sulfide
- butyric acid
- bacterial proteases
butyric acid leads to apoptosis of what cells
T-cells, B-cells, and fibroblasts
what digest proteins and provide nutrition for bacteria
bacterial proteases
T/F: bacterial proteases increase tissue breakdown
TRUE
what are gingipains?
bacterial enzymes produced by P, gingivalis
what are examples of microbial invasion
- A.a. and P. gingivalis invade gingival epi and CT
- fusobacterium nucleatum invades oral epi cells
what is the clinical significance of microbial virulence factors
- bacteria in tissue is not removed by scaling and root planing
- sheltered from host defense
what are host derived inflammatoyr mediators
- cytokines
- prostaglandins
- matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)
what are:
Soluble proteins
Messengers- transmit cell-cell signaling
Produced in tissues, act locally in tissues
cytokinesw
what are cytokines produced by
PMN
Macrophage
Lymphocytes
Fibroblasts
Epithelial cells
what cell
Elevated in gingivitis and periodontitis
Correlates with disease severity
Exacerbates inflammation, bone resorption
Stimulates production of PGE2, NO, MMPs
Mainly produced by monocyte, macrophage, PMN
IL-1beta (cytokine)
