Q

1999 classifications (used)

A

Gingival diseases
II Chronic periodontitis
III Aggressive periodontitis
IV Periodontits as a manifestation of systemic diseases
V Necrotising periodontal diseases
VI Abscesses of the periodontium
VII Periodontitis associated with endodontic lesions
VIII Developmental or acquired deformities and conditions

  • Problems
    Ag P features vs chronic periodontitis
  • more likely to be genetic
    often in young patients..
    .. ’Usually affecting persons under 30 years of age, but patients may be older’
  • etc - very woolly – room for interpretation
  • Diagnosis of gingival health? If this case has one bleeding site is it a gingivitis case?

Q

aims of 2018 disease classifications (4)

A

Capture extent, severity
- Amount of periodontal tissue loss

Patient susceptibility
- Estimate by historical rate of progression

Current periodontal state
- Pocket depths/bleeding on probing

A system that can be future proofed for update with new biomarker information
- So don’t have to back date and rejig (e.g. salivary tests)

periodontitis in 2018 classification

A

Localised (less than or equal to 30% teeth)
Generalised (greater than 30% teeth)
Molar-incisor pattern

The term “aggressive periodontitis” was removed, creating a: staging and grading system for periodontitis that is based upon bone loss and classifies the disease into

4 stages based on severity (I, II, III or IV) BONE LOSS MAINLY

3 grades based on disease susceptibility (A, B or C).

A

4 stages based on severity (I, II, III or IV) BONE LOSS MAINLY

Coronal third, middle third and apical third bone loss

Find worst site of interproximal bone loss and stage on that

Loss teeth due to perio = apical third of root thus stage 4

As long as can see bone level and no indication to take periapical and measure bone loss from CEJ

Q

BPE tool

A

screening
- employed to rapidly guide clinicians to arrive at a provisional diagnosis of periodontal health, gingivitis or periodontitis, irrespective of historical aHachment loss and bone loss (i.e., irrespective of staging and grading). As such, the BPE guides the need for further diagnos6c measures prior to establishing a defini6ve periodontal diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.

How much more need to do and how much more diagnostic tools needed
- if they have interdental recession - they have perio - so want pocket chart

A
Option 1 (BSP Guidelines) 
0 If a sextant scores 3, this sextant should be reviewed AFTER initial treatment and a 6 point pocket completed for that sextant only (and only aeer treatment) 
Option 2 (SDCEP
- If a sextant scores 3, a 6 point pocket chart should be completed for that sextant BEFORE treatment and AFTER. ‘full periodontal examination of all teeth and root surface instrumentation where necessary (N.B. Where code 3 is observed in only one sextant, carry out full periodontal examination and root surface instrumentation of affected teeth in that sextant only)

26
Q

A 49 year old female patient who had recently moved into the area, presented in good general health. Specifically, she had not been diagnoses with diabetes mellitus, was not taking any medications regularly, reported a healthy diet and low stress levels, and was never a smoker. She reported a history of several courses of periodontal treatment by her previous GDP. Clinical examination revealed overt interproximal recession/clinical attachment loss

deep pockets (>5mm) on seven teeth with pocket

A

Interproximal attachment loss so periodontitis

Rather clean teeth currently - so OH seems adequate, maybe more likely genetic cause

Stage 4 - into apical third
C - more bone loss that 49%
Pocket chart - Unstable
Generalised - more than 60%

No risk factors from history

27
Q

BPE use in diagnosis of perio

A

of limited value in patients who have already been diagnosed with periodontitis.

  • Interproximal attachment loss - do 6PPC
  • BPE doesn’t help in perio already
28
Q

how long a perio pt

A

successfully treated periodontitis patient remains a periodontitis patient for life - the disease may progress at any timeme if periodontal maintenance is sub-optimal and risk factors are not controlled.

At any given time following therapy a periodontitis patient may represent a case of

  • health in a successfully treated patient (stable)
  • recurrent gingival inflammation (BoP ≥10%) at sites with PPD < 3mm and no PPD > 4mm (disease remission)
  • recurrent periodontitis, bleeding sites ≥ 4mm or any PPD ≥ 5mm (unstable)
29
Q

4mm cut off complexity

A

The 4mm threshold is critical as it determines periodontal disease stability at non-bleeding sites following successful periodontal therapy. A higher probing depth of 5mm or 6mm in the absence of bleeding may not always represent active disease - in particular soon after periodontal treatment. Therefore, clinicians need to exercise clinical judgments when considering the need or lack of need for additional treatment such as reinstrumentation or surgery for such sites.

4mm threshold determines disease stability at nonbleeding sites
- No bleeding plaque control good and recent RSD might just be site needs longer to heal
Think of all previous treatment in context pt pocket depths

30
Q

bleeding at 4mm site in perio

A

assume on way to recurrent perio - thus unstable

31
Q

pockets larger than 4mm

A

4mm pt cant clean into it - less stable greater risk of progression than 4mm of less

32
Q

gum health states

A

intact periodontium

reduced periodontium
- see gingival interdental recession due to cause other than periodontits e.g. crown lengthening surgery, defect left on distal of 7 after wisdom tooth extraction

33
Q

3 definitions of periodontal health

A

Patients with an intact periodontium,

patients with a reduced periodontium due to causes other than periodontitis, and

patients with a reduced periodontium due to periodontitis

34
Q

gingival health

A

Clinical gingival health on an intact periodontium is characterized by the absence of bleeding on probing, erythema and edema, patient symptoms, and attachment and bone loss. Physiological bone levels range from 1.0 to 3.0 mm apical to the cemento-enamel junction. (parameters of health)

For an intact periodontium and a reduced and stable periodontium, gingival health is defined as < 10% bleeding sites with probing depths ≤3 mm.

35
Q

plaque induced gingivitis (localised/generalised gingivitis)

A
  • Intact periodontium
  • Reduced periodontium

Associated with dental biofilm alone
Mediated by systemic or local risk factors
Drug influenced gingival enlargement

36
Q

modifying factors for plaque induced gingivitis

A
Sex steroid hormones
Hyperglycaemia 
Leukaemia 
Smoking 
Drug induced
Malnutrition 
poor restorative margins
37
Q

hormones effect on gingivitis

A
  • Modified by puberty
  • Mestural cycle
  • pregnancy
  • Oral contraceptive

Hormonal change by itself will not cause gingivitis – plaque causes it and changes in hormones exaggerate the response

38
Q

pregnancy epulis

A

considered a mucogingival deformity)

  • No radiological bone loss
  • No interdental recession
39
Q

drugs that can modify gingivitis

A

drug influenced gingival enlargement

  • Ca channel blockers
  • Cyclosporin immunosuppressants

Enlargement of papilla – distinctive

40
Q

non plaque induced gingival diseases and conditions

A

rare, seek specilalist help to get diagnosis (BIPSY)

genetic/developmental disorders
- e.g hereditary gingival fibromatosis, Doesn’t recur after surgical reception

specific infections

  • e.g. herpetic gingival stomatitis, Candida albicans
  • common in children, red inflammation of gingivae, antibiotics no help

inflammatory and immune conditions (lichen planus)

reactive processes
neoplasms
endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
traumatic lesions 
gingival pigmentation
41
Q

nutritional deficiency effect on gingiva

A

vitamin C deficiency

rare

e.g. clean teeth but inflammation of gingiva persisting

42
Q

necrotising periodontal diseases

A

necrotising gingivitis

necrotising periodontitis

necrotising stomatitis

43
Q

necrotising gingivitis

A

necrosis and ulcer in the interdental papilla (94–100%)

gingival bleeding (95– 100%)

pain (86–100%)

pseudomembrane formation (73–88%)

halitosis (84–97%).

extraoral - regional lymphadenopathy (44–61%) / fever (20-39%)

In children, pain and halitosis less frequent, whereas fever, lymphadenopathy, and sialorrhea were more frequent.

White grey fibrin coating of interdental papilla
Sloughing

44
Q

necrotising periodontitis

A

in addition to the signs and symptoms of NG

periodontal attachment and bone destruction

frequent extraoral signs

In severely immune-compromised patients, bone sequestrum may occur

Visible ulceration
Sloughing
Most severe at papilla (start point) spread into necks of papilla

45
Q

necrotising stomatitis

A

bone denudation extended through the alveolar mucosa
- lose chunks of bone from alveolar process

larger areas of osteititis and bone sequestrum,

Creator type defect
Dramatic loss of bone and tissue – aesthetic compromise
Can happen quickly

46
Q

how to deal with necrotising periodontal diseases

A
figure out what is causing the necrotising disease in patient 
- stress
- malnourished
- underlying viral infection 
immunosuppressant 

control underlying causes

47
Q

periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease

A

Classification is based on the primary systemic disease

Mainly rare diseases that affect the course of periodontitis resulting in the early presentation of severe periodontitis.

  • Papillon Lefevre Syndrome
  • Leucocyte adhesion deficiency
  • Hypophosphatasia
  • Down’s syndrome
  • Ehlers-Danlos

process is similar but presents earlier

48
Q

systemic diseases or conditions affecting the periodontal tissues

A

Mainly rare conditions affecting the periodontal supporting tissues independently of dental plaque biofilm-induced inflammation.

This is a more heterogeneous group of conditions which result in breakdown of periodontal tissues and some of which may mimic the clinical presentation of periodontitis.

  • Squamous cell carcinoma
  • Langerhans cell histiocytosis

Get a biopsy if radiograph doesn’t look right – could be cancer

Common systemic diseases, such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, with variable effects that modify the course of periodontitis appear to be part of the multifactorial nature of complex diseases such as periodontitis and are included in the new clinical classification of periodontitis as a descriptor in the staging and grading process.

49
Q

periodontal abscesses

A

common
pus draining through pocket or sinus

think of cause
- In periodontitis patients in a pre-existing pocket
- In non-periodontitis patients (not needed to have a pre-existing pocket)
(Ligature of rubber dam, chewing on something etc)

50
Q

periodontic- endodontic lesion

A

Mindful of what is the cause of source of pus draining

With root damage

  • Root fracture/cracking
  • Root canal or pulp chamber perforation
  • External root resorption

Endo-periodontal lesion without root damage

  • Endo-periodontal lesions in periodontitis patients
  • Endo-periodontal lesions in non-periodontitis patients
51
Q

periodontic- endodontic lesion - 2 types

A

With root damage

Endo-periodontal lesion without root damage

52
Q

mucogingival deformities and conditions

A

around teeth lack of keratinised gingiva/aberrant frenal attachment

Type of recession dictates what Tx can be done
- 1, 2, 3

53
Q

recession type 1

A

Gingival recession with no loss of inter- proximal attachment. Interproximal CEJ is clinically not detect- able at both mesial and distal aspects of the tooth.

Interproximal attachment is mainly in tact, narrow localised recession defect
- Surgical intervention can help – increase width of keratinised tissue so easier to clean

54
Q

recession type 2

A

Gingival recession associated with loss of interproximal attachment. The amount of interproximal attachment loss (measured from the interproximal CEJ to the depth of the interproximal sulcus/pocket) is less than or equal to the buccal attachment loss (measured from the buccal CEJ to the apical end of the buccal sulcus/pocket).

Little bit of attachment but apical extent is still greater than interproximal
- Little you can do – may or may not work

55
Q

recession type 3

A

Gingival recession associated with loss of interproximal attachment. The amount of interproximal attachment loss (measured from the interproximal CEJ to the apical end of the sulcus/pocket) is greater than the buccal attachment loss (measured from the buccal CEJ to the apical end of the buccal sulcus/pocket).

Papilla is completely gone, nothing left interdentally
- Not able to do anything to improve appearance

56
Q
