26
Q

Q19:

2-3mm

27
Q

Q20:

What does CAL stand for and what is its definition

A

CAL= Clinical Attachment Loss
–CAL (clinical attachment loss) is the distance from the CEJ (cementum enamel junction) to the base of sulcus or pocket or PD (periodontium)

CALCULATED.. NOT MEASURED

28
Q

Q20:

Give the equation to find CAL:
– CEJ to GM may be:
(+) GM value if………
(-) GM value if……..

A

CAL = PD (MM) + CEJ to GM(mm)

PD= periodontium
CEJ= cementum enamel junction
GM= gingival margin

CEJ to CG may be:
(+) Positive if apical to CEJ -Where there’s recession
(-) Negative if coronal to CEJ – excess tissue that needs to be substracted to get the true bone loss measurement.

– Example:
ABOVE THE CEJ:
Use (-) value for GM
CEJ= 6

CAL = SUM OF GM + CEJ + PD
CAL = (-3) + 6 = 3mm == Excess tissue

CAL= (0) + 6 = 6mm == Normal tissue

CAL = (+3) + 6 = 9mm = Recession

A

Polymorphism is the increased production of IL-1 beta:

a. Genetic polymorphism which makes the response to periodisease more severe (influence of PD)
- - Does NOT cause the disease, it makes the individual response more severe.

50
Q

Q41:

Does Low- dose tetra replace mechanical therapy?

    • Low- dose tetra reduces what type of production?
    • Reduces what type of breakdown?
A

Low-dose tetra does not replace mechanical therapy

    • Low-dose tetra reduces collagenase production
    • reduce collagen breakdown

Extra notes:
Low dose doxycycline is a pill taken orally. However there are low dose of tetracycline or odoxycyline that stays and binds in the pocket. Therefore you don’t need to take the therapy orally, it can be placed directly in the pocket *key is that it is a low dose which is sub-anti-microbial.

Smoking Increases pathogens in deep and shallow pockets and smoking has no effect on the rate of plaque accumulation

54
Q

*Q45:

Arrestin and periostat are types of products that is known as what type of therapy?

– What does it do to the bacteria and our body?
