17
Q

problem with Subtractive radiography

A

technique sensitive

18
Q

how does an ultrasonic perio probe work

A

hollow taper tip filled with water for coupling ultrasonic beam to tissues

19
Q

are conventional radiographs specific and sensitive

A

Specific

not sensitive

20
Q

what is Cone Beam Computed Tomography used for

A

detection of periodontal disease in in vivio settings

  • intrabony defects
  • dehiscence and fenestration defects
  • periodontal cysts
  • furcation defects
  • thickness of palatal masticatory mucosa
21
Q

what is the gold standard of microbiologic testing

A

Bacterial culturinging

22
Q

what can antibiotics and bacterial culturing show

A

assess the antibiotic susceptibility of microbes

23
Q

what can be grown in bacterial culturing

A

only grow live bacteria

- w/ strict sampling and transport conditions

24
Q

what is hard to culture

A

Putative pathogens that are fastidious(need correct media)

25
Q

what is the sensitivity of bacterial culturing

A

Low

- detection limits for selective and nonselective media are 10^4 and 10^5

26
Q

what are the logistical concerns for bacterial culuting

A

Need sophisticated equipment and experienced personnel

- time consuming and expensive

27
Q

what microscopy is used to do microbiologic testing

A

Dark field

phase contract

28
Q

what does micrscopy look at in direct micrscopy to check for perio pathogens

A

Morphology and motility of bacteria in a plaque sample

29
Q

what makes identifying the main putative perio pathogens difficult with a microscope

A

most are non-motile

30
Q

how does immunodiagnostic test for perio pathogens

A

Uses Ab that target specific bacterial Ag

31
Q

what does Immunodiagnostic methods identify the most

A

identify pathogens using a plaque smear

-Aa and Pg

32
Q

how does immunodiagnostic methods prevail over bacterial culutres

A

Does not require viable bacterial cells

33
Q

what keeps people from doing Cytofluorography(flow cytometry)

A

Complexity and cost prevent

34
Q

what is Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) used for

A

to detect serum antibodies to periodontal pathogens

35
Q

what is Membrane Immunoassay

A

ezyme linked immunosorbent assay for chairside use to detect Aa, Pg, and Pi

36
Q

how does Latex agglutination work

A

Binding of protein to latex beads that are coated with species specific antibody

37
Q

where is latex agglutination done

A

currently for research purpose

38
Q

how do enzymatic methods test for perio pathogens

A

Pg, Tf, Aa all have trypsin-lik enzyme

- if degradation of BANA is found, then these pathogens are present

39
Q

where can enzymatic methods be used

A

chair side

40
Q

problem with enzymatic methods

A

cannot distringuish between individual bacteria
Positive in healthy sites
negative does not rule out presence of other perio pathogens

41
Q

what are the nuclei acid probes we use

A

Synth and labeled DNA (20-30 nucleotides)
genomic DNA probe (whole strand)
16s rRNA oligonucleotide probes

42
Q

senstivity of genomic DNA probe compared to Synth and labeled DNA strands

A

genomic DNA is less sensitive and specific due to cross reactivity to non-target microorganisms
