Classification of periodontal diseases Flashcards
Classifications
Gingival diseases
Chronic periodontitis
Aggressive periodontitis
Periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic diseases
Necrotising periodontal diseases
Abscesses of the periodontium
Periodontitis associated with endodontic lesions
Developmental or acquired deformities and condition
Gingival diseases - surgical sieve
Developmental - acquired or hereditary Infective Non-plaque induced or plaque induced Allergic Modified by or attributable to systemic factors Inflammatory or non-inflammatory Traumatic Elephantine - overgrowth (hypertrophy, hyperplasia, oedema) - e.g. from anti-epileptic drugs
Plaque related gingivitis
Purely affecting gingiva
Thermal trauma
From hot food, damages gingiva
Herpes
Painful, inflamed gingiva
Viral infection
Gingival diseases
Contained within gingival tissue
-no evidence of periodontal attachment loss
-may produce pseudo-pocketing
Inflammation usually = bleeding no probing
Chronic periodontitis
Progression of infection and inflammation of gingivitis into deeper tissues
All periodontitis develops from gingivitis but not vice versa
Local/ generalised (30% of sites affected)
Destruction consistent with local factors (e.g. overcrowding, furcation areas)
Subgingival calculus is a frequent finding
Associated with variable microbial pattern
Progression slow but rapid bursts can occur
Associated with local predisposing factors
-overhangs, grooves, crowding
Breakdown of periodontal fibre bundles at cervical margin, alveolar bone resorption and apical proliferation of junctional epithelium beyond ACJ
Severity of chronic periodontitis
Mild: 1-2mm
Moderate: 3-4mm
Severe: 5mm +
(clinical attachment loss, attachment loss + recession)
Chronic periodontitis risk factors
Non modifiable: genetics, age, gender
Modifiable risk factors: smoking, plaque levels (test by painting fluid on), systemic disease (diabetes), stress
Lots of abscesses in the mouth
Suggest they go to the doctors and get tested for diabetes
Aggressive periodontitis
Rarer, often severe
Rapid attachment loss and bone destruction
Possible familial aggregation of disease
Patients are systemically healthy, non smokers
Onset - earlier age, less than 30 years
Amount of plaque out of proportion with severity of disease
Aggressive periodontitis subcategories
Localised (1st molar and incisor involvement)
Generalised >/ 3 teeth other than in localised
Bone loss aggressive vs chronic
Aggressive more vertical, deep pockets
Chronic slower, more sloping
Generalised aggressive periodontitis
Severe, generalised form, young adults <30
Interproximal attachment loss affecting at least 3 permanent teeth other than 1st molar and incisors
Episodic nature of destruction of AB and attachment
1-2% of Western pop, > in Afro-carribeans
Localised aggressive periodontitis
Severe, localised
Onset around puberty
Localised attachment loss of at least 2 permanent teeth one of which is a first molar and involving no more than 2 teeth other than first molars and incisors
