Q

3 Phases of the Inflammatory Process

A
  1. Acute Transient Phase: characterized by local vasodilation and increased capillary permeability (histamine and prostaglandins); clinically we see gingival edema (swelling) and erythema (redness)
  2. Delayed subacute phase:
    characterized by migration of
    PMNs and other phagocytic cells into the tissue
  3. Chronic Phase
    characterized by TISSUE DESTRUCTION

Q

When tissue is damaged or infected, this group of hormones will create the reactions that cause pain, fever and inflammation, which sparks the healing process. Prostaglandins also stimulate the formation of a blood clot and the contraction of the blood vessel wall when your body is bleeding.

Q
  • Chemical controllers
  • Produced by PMNs, macrophages, B cells,
    epithelial cells, gingival fibroblasts, and
    osteoblasts
  • Recruit PMNs and macrophages to infection site
  • Increase vascular permeability- allows better movement of immune cells and complement
    -Can initiate tissue destruction*****

Q
  • Family of enzymes produced by body cells
    that break down connective tissue
  • Made by PMNs, macrophages, gingival
    fibroblasts, and junctional epithelium cells
  • In health-> MMPs facilitate the normal
    turnover of the periodontal connective
    tissue matrix
  • In disease -> overproduction of MMPs
    results in extensive collagen destruction
A

MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases)

Q

What 6 are commonly found in perio … hint lots are cytokines

A

cytokine IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-a,
Prostaglandin E-2
MMP Enzymes

17
Q

PMNs (Neutrophils)

1st on scene explain

A

PMN: Neutrophil= 1st line of defense. Hallmark of acute inflammation. First cell called into action at the site of inflammation. phagocytic infantry

Phagocytosis: Phagocyte engulfs/captures the antigen; once captured, invader is degraded by lysosomes

Chemotaxis: Movement of cells in the direction of a chemical attractant

PMN wall protects epithelium, PMns also in injured tissues

18
Q

neutrophil = “first line of defense,” “hallmark of acute inflammation;” first cell called into action at the site of inflammation; Phagocytic (infantry)

A

PMN

19
Q

movement of cells in the direction of a chemical attractant

A

Chemotaxis

20
Q

Depressed PMN function can lead to BIG problems. 7 Problems that are common

A
  1. Localized aggressive periodontitis
  2. Diabete Type I
  3. Chediak- Higashi syndrome
  4. Papillon-Lefevre Syndrom
  5. Drug Induced agranulocytosis
  6. Cyclic neutropenia
  7. Leukemia
21
Q
  • The other main phagocytic cell
  • Monocyte (WBC) ->____
  • Mostly in the inflamed CT, some continue
    into gingival crevice
  • Release cytokines (Il-1 and TNF)
A

Macrophage

22
Q

*** (antibodies or
complement) bind to bacteria so that they
are more easily identified

Think Mission Impossible: At the embassy, they spray the target with a liquid that identifies him to the team

A

Opsonization:

23
Q

series of 20-30
plasma proteins that generate chemotactic
factors attracts PMNs, macrophages,
luekocytes; also directly kills and lyses
bacteria

A

Complement System

24
Q

Immune Response:

After __ days, inflammation will become chronic.

When __ and __ alone are not enough->

Activation of the “specific host response” or adaptive immune system; same reactions and cells seem in inflammatory level, but more cells involved

2 parts to immune reaction: humoral immunity and ____ immunity

A

7 days

PMN and Macrophages

cellular

25
Q
  • B-cells (B-lymphocytes) are mediators
  • Humoral immune mechanisms are most effective against bacteria, such as those in
    perio
A

Humoral Immunity

26
Q

Humoral and ____ immunity occur almost at the same time; cells from one or
the other will predominate during different
stages of perio

A

cellular immunity

27
Q
  • T-cells (T-lymphocytes) are mediators
  • T-cells “watch” the tissues (spies)
  • T-helper (CD4 receptors),
  • T-cytotoxic (CD8
    receptors)
  • T-cells can cause bone loss (stimulate osteoclasts or produce IL-1)
  • Cytotoxic T-Cells (CD8 receptors) can directly kill
    virus-infected cells, cancer cells, parasites, and
    certain bacteria (poke holes) (natural killer cells
    play the same role in innate immunity)
  • Cellular immunity is most effective against fungi,
    viruses, cancer, foreign tissue
