9 - Influence of Systemic Conditions on the Periodontium Flashcards
___ host immune response may lead to more severe forms of periodontitis
___ alter host tissues and physiology, impairing immune defense
altered, deficient, or exaggerated;
systemic diseases
do systemic diseases initiate periodontitis
they DO NOT
systemic disorders may ___ periodontal disease
predispose/accelerate
can perio infection affect systemic health
yes
1 and #2 most frequent factor as modifable contributor to systemic inflammatory burden
1: obesity
2: periodontitis
how does periodontitis contribute directly to pathogenesis of atherosclerosis?
thru bacterial challenges to arterial endothelium -> inflammation -> atheromatosis
what hypothesis:
synthesis of inflammatory molecules caused by periodontitis, increasing the cerebral inflammation state
inflammatory mechanism hypothesis
what hypothesis:
bacteria involved in periodontitis pathogenesis could also be involved in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis (A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, T. denticola, and F. nucleatum can invade the CNS, triggering neurodegenerative disease)
bacterial mechanism hypothesis
periodontitis is the ___th complication of diabetes
6th
poorly controlled diabetics lead to what
- severe inflammation
- deep periodontal pockets
- rapid bone loss
- frequent perio abscess
effects of diabetes on periodontium
- greater loss of attachment
- increased BOP
- increased tooth mobility (compared to non-diabetics)
etiology of perio in diabetic patients
- increased glucose in gingival fluid and blood
- PMN deficiencies
- macrophage deficiencies
- altered collagen metabolism
- advanced glycation end products (AGEs)
do uncontrolled diabetics have a good or poor respons to periodontal therapy? why?
POOR! due to delayed post-surgical healing
what should you avoid in uncontrolled diabetic patient? what is HbA1c percent
elective periodontal surgery on an uncrontrolled diabetic patient
HbA1c >7%
what is used to monitor a patient’s overall glycemic control? at what percent do you diagnose DM
HbA1C at greater or equal to 6.5%
how does HbA1c test work
- Glycohemoglobin forms continuously as a reaction between glucose and the hemoglobin protein, which carries oxygen.
- Binding of glucose to hemoglobin remains stable for lifespan of RBC.
HbA1c estimates average blood glucose levels over preceding ___ days
30-90 days
what HbA1c level is prediabetes
5.7-6.4%
what is the linear relationship between A1c and average daily blood glucose?
estimated average glucose (EAG)
how does periodontitis affect the diabetic state?
improved glycemic control following scaling and root plaining (found ~10% reduction in HbA1c levels)
scaling and root planing in diabetic patients lead to what
- Decreased IL-1B and TNF-a in GCF.
- May decrease HbA1c values.
- Wide inter-individual variability (some worsened glycemic control)
what is a metabolic syndrome
Obdominal obesity + 2 or more of: Hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia
is there significant association between obesity and periodontitis
yes
how does obesity result in inflammation
- adipose tissue dysfunction -> increased macrophages, B cells, T cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, mast cells
- proinflammatory cytokine production: IL-6 and TNF-alpha -> recirculate and contribute to systemic inflammation
examples of when change of hormones occur
puberty, pregnancy, and hyperparathyroidism
explain gingivitis in puberty and pregnancy treatment?
- exaggerated response to plaque
- treat by removing local factors (plaque)
