Classification and Clinical Features of Periodontal Disease Flashcards
what percentage of adults show significant periodontal disease
10-12%
Most common inflammatory disease seen in humans
Periodontal disease
Gingivitis
inflammatory response of the marginal gingiva,
reversible condition.
Periodontitis
Inflammatory condition resulting in the irreversible loss of the tooth supporting structures, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone
Periodontitis stages
Currently stable, currently in remission, currently unstable
periodontitis currently stable
BOP <10%
PPD <= 4mm
no BOP at 4mm sites
Periodontitis currently in remission
BOP >10%
PPD <= 4mm
no BOP at 4mm sites
Periodontitis currently unstable
PPD>5mm
PPD>4mm and BOP
Why is prevention and management of periodontal disease essential?
can cause tooth mobility, drifting of teeth, tooth loss
can lead to low self esteem, reduction in functional capacity, impacts social relationships and quality of life
Classification of periodontal and peri-implant disease and conditions
- periodontal health and ginigival health
- gingivitis: dental biofilm induced
- gingival disease: non-dental biofilm induced
Plaque retentive factors
calculus poor restoration margins tooth position/angulation developmental anomalies oral appliances (dentures, orthodontic) xerostomia (drug induced, head and neck radiation)
Supraginigval calculus
attached to tooth (commonly found on lingual surfaces of lower anterior teeth and buccal surfaces of upper first molars) creamy-yellow fairly hard easily removed brittle visible
Subgingival
attached to root surfaces, not related to saliva/salivary gland brown/black very hard tenacious detected by gentle probing/radiograph
risk factors for gingival inflammation
increased plaque retention poor restorative dentistry sub-gingival crown margins drug-induced gingival overgrowth fixed appliance therapy amalgam overhangs incompetent lip posture
Gingival diseases non-dental biofilm induced
a. Genetic/developmental disorders
b. Specific infections – bacterial, viral, fungal
c. Inflammatory and immune conditions
d. Reactive processes
e. Neoplasms
f. Endocrine, nutritional & metabolic diseases
g. Traumatic lesions
h. Gingival pigmentation
