Q

What are the two main categories of gingivitis?

A

1-plaque induced (interaction between plaque and hosts defense system)
2-non-plaque induced (Small percentage of cases, allergic reactions, fungi, autoimmune etc.)

17
Q

When is root planning used?

A

To manage periodontitis

18
Q

Any bleeding on probe is a good sign of what?

A

Inflammation

19
Q

Why are longitudinal records important when determining if inflammation and attachment loss are periodontitis or not?

A

Attachment loss may be due to previous conditions and the current plaque is only causing gingivitis not periodontitis

20
Q

What are 3 medications associated with gingivitis?

A

1-Phenytoin (Dilantin for epilepsy)
2-Cyclosporin (transplants)
3-Calcium channel blockers

21
Q

How do you determine if gingivitis is generalized or localized?

A
  • less than 30% of sites is localized
  • more than 30% of sites is generalized

*percentages are also true for periodontitis

22
Q

Wickams striae are white lines on the oral mucosa associated with what?

A

Lichen Planus

23
Q

How much clinical attachment is present in Slight periodontitis?

A

1-2 mm CAL

24
Q

How much clinical attachment is present in Moderate periodontitis?

A

3-4 mm CAL

25
How much clinical attachment is present in Severe periodontitis?
5 mm of CAL or more
26
What slow progressing, plaque induced form of periodontitis is most common?
Chronic Periodontitis
27
What two things must be present in the same location at the same time for periodontal disease?
1-Loss of periodontal attachment from CEJ | 2-Presence of gingival inflammation extending beyond the marginal gingiva into the connective tissue
28
What are three examples of things to help patients be aware of before periodontal therapy?
1-May increase motility of teeth 2-May be more sensitive to hot or cold on exposed roots 3-Receeding gums
29
What term replaced the term "early onset periodontitis"?
Aggressive periodontitis
30
What relatively rare oral disease with rapid/episodic attachment loss, and familial aggregation is seen in clinically healthy individuals (usually younger than 30)?
Generalized aggressive periodontitis *attachment loss affecting 3 or more permanent teeth other than 1st molars/incisors.
31
Localized aggressive periodontitis is different than generalized because it involves mainly what teeth?
1st molars/incisors *also more typical in circumpubertal patients
32
What are two major organisms associated with Aggressive periodontitis?
1-A.a. | 2-P. Gingivalis
33
What are the two basic forms of Necrotizing Periodontal disease?
1-Necrotizing Ulcerative gingivitis (NUG) | 2-Necrotizing Ulcerative Periodontitis (NUP)
34
Rapid onset of pain, necrosis and ulceration of marginal gingiva and a predispostion to decreased systemic resistance are all features of what both ________ and _______
NUG and NUP
35
Though punched out papilla are typical of both NUG and NUP, ____________ often involves significant loss of CT and alveolar bone and is more often associated with immunosuppressed individuals
NUP
36
A fistula containing circumscribed collection of neutrophil-laden pus in the soft tissue wall of the periodontal pocket is called what?
Periodontal abscess *can be caused by incomplete calculus removal, occlusion of pocket by foreign body
37
What are the three categories of periodontal abscesses?
1-Gingical abscess (gingiva only) 2-Periodontal abscess (tissue adjacent to pocket) 3-Pericoronal abscess (crown of partially erupted tooth)
