Q

Why are biofilms protective

A
  1. Barrier function
  2. Degrade Enzymes
  3. Repel negative charged agents
  4. Inhibit leukocyte phagocytosis

Q

What are the 4 phases of bacterial growth

A
  1. Adherence - Glycoproteins deposited forms pellicle. Neg charge hydroxy attaches glycoprotein
  2. Lag - Plaktonic to sessile, Phenotype change, Lag in growth changes gene expression
  3. Rapid Growth - Dextrans and Levins laid down.
    Co-Aggregate: Clump together in suspension
    Co-Adhesion: Bacteria in saliva bind to bacteria in substrate
  4. Steady State: In biofilm, Negligible 02, internat nutrient transfer, slow growth, Genes Shared, micorbes change as go deeper

Q

What is the association between calculus and perio disease

A

Viable bacteria present on calculus

BUT Sri Lankan tea study proves calculus alone not cause disease

Q

What are the mechanism of calculus development

A

Epitactic: Crystal seeding in matrix that enlarge
Booster: Increase pH cause precipitaion of calcium and phosphate

70%
Run M/D
Man 1st molar most common

20
Q

What is the attachment area of molars

A

Max: 30%, 20,20,20 per root Trunk, MD,P,DB
