19
Q

What is aggressive periodontitis?

A

periodontitis found in those who are otherwise healthy, have familial aggregation, and who see rapid progression

20
Q

In aggressive periodontitis, ______ may not be clinically present.

A

Local factors (plaque is not consistent with periodontal destruction)

21
Q

In aggressive periodontitis, which two organisms are typically elevated?

A

A.a and P.g

22
Q

Aggressive periodontitis patients often have hyper-responsive ______ and ____ abnormalities.

A

macrophage phenotype

phagocyte

23
Q

How is local aggressive periodontitis classified?

A

interproximal attachment loss on at least two first-molars and incisors with no more than two other teeth varieties

24
Q

How is generalized aggressive periodontitis classified?

A

interproximal attachment loss affecting at least three permanent teeth other than first molars and incisors

25
Q

Chronic periodontitis affects approximately ___% of adults and ____% of seniors.

A

20

50

26
Q

Incidence of aggressive periodontitis is _____% localized and ____% generalized.

A
  1. 2

0. 13

27
Q

How does Trisomy 21 contribute to periodontitis?

A

Down Syndrome is associated with severe inflammation, accelerated attachment loss, and PMN chemotaxis defects. Also, there is a diminished care for self

28
Q

Papillon-Lefevre and Chediak-Higachi are ______ _______ hereditary diseases that progress _____ in primary and permanent dentitions.

A

autosomal recessive

29
Q

What is the difference between NUP and NUG?

A

necrotizing of periodontium vs gingiva

30
Q

Necrotizing periodontal diseases are common in ______ situations and continue to be relevant in developing countries.

A

stressful

31
Q

Which three traits are necessary for early diagnosis of Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis?

A
  1. Necrotizing lesion of papilla that progresses toward margins
  2. Spontaneous bleeding
  3. Pain
32
Q

What is necrotizing stomatitis?

A

involvement of the palatal mucosa

33
Q

When is it appropriate or inappropriate to prescribe antibiotics for NPD?

A

With onset, antibiotics are inappropriate because overprescribing can cause establishment of uncontrollable stands of disease.
Once fever and malaise have set it, antibiotics can be used because these are signs of systemic involvement

34
Q

True or False: Patients with extreme gingivitis will often have chronic periodontitis.

A

False, you CANNOT have them both. Chronic Perio occurs after attachment loss which means they can no longer be classified as having gingivitis

35
Q

What is the prevalence of plaque-induced gingivitis?

A

40-50%

36
Q

What is the prevalence of moderate chronic perio vs severe chronic perio?

A

moderate: 20%
severe: 13%

37
Q

Aggressive Periodontitis occurs in ____% of african americans and ____% of caucasions.

A

2

0.2

38
Q

What is a pericoronal abscess?

A

localized, acute inflammation of a partially erupted tooth. Commonly seen in 3rd molars

39
Q

What is the main determinant in distinguishing aggressive from chronic periodontitis?

A

RATE OF PROGRESSION (age is a secondary consideration)

40
Q

True or False: If an 18 male has more than 30% of teeth affected by attachment loss, he has generalized aggressive periodontitis.

A

False: percentage of teeth has nothing to do with aggressive perio

41
Q

If a _______ is not involved but there are three teeth with attachment loss, the patient has generalized aggressive periodontitis.

A

first molar

42
Q

Classify the Aggressive Perio:

  1. Two canines, First Molar, Lateral Incisors
  2. Canine, Premolar, Second Molar
  3. First Molar, Canine
  4. Two Premolars, First Molars, Second Molar
A
  1. localized
  2. Generalized
  3. localized
  4. Generalized
43
Q

True or False: Attachment loss is always indicative of periodontitis.

A

False: if otherwise healthy (without inflammation), they could have gingival recession
