Etiology Periodontics Flashcards
Whats in microbial plaque
Bacteria Fungus Protozoa Virus Mycoplasm
What is the etiologic factor that casues periodontal disease
Dental PLaque
Dental Calculus provides what for plaque
A surface to attach
Dental calculus provides a surface for the plaque to attach what
2
Supragingival calculus
Subgingival Calculus
What 3 bacteria are red complex
1) Porphyromonas gingivalis
2) Bacteroides forsythus
3) Treponema denticola
Bacteria grabs unto what?
The pellicle
Microbial Co-Aggregation is what?
Bacterial receptros allow bacteria to attach to pellicle and each other
Two regulatory compnents in quorum sensing?
Transcriptional Activator protein (R protein)
Al molecule produced by sutoinducer synthase
Is the ability to adhere a virulence factor?
YES!!
How can bacteria in mouth enter host?
ulcerations in epithelium
Alternate name for actinobacillus
Aggregatibacter
Pelicle definition
Thin bacteria free layer of salivary proteins
What constitutes supragingival plaque
Coronal Paque
Marginal Plaque
What are the common infections in the oral cavity
Caries periapical Fungal Viral Abcesses Periodontal
Periodontal health def
State in which there is no clinical inflammation
GIngivitis def
Inflammatory process in the gingival tissues
Periodontitis
Inflammation not confined to the gingiva. Invlolves attachment apparatus.. Cementum, PDL, Alveolar bone, and soft tissues
Whats the name of organization that handles public health that Winkler has on slide show
NHANES
Kich’s postulates to identify causative agent of infectious disease
4
1) Microorganism present in all cases of disease
2) Pathogen can be isolated from host and cultured
3) Pathogen from culture must cause the disease when inoculated into a healthy host
4) Pathogen must be re-isolated from new host and shown to be same pathogen as originally innoculated
Gingivitis takes this long to occur
10-21 days
Once hygine start, gingival inflammation goes away in how many days
1 week
Gram negative flora shows up when?
3-10 days afte rinflammation
How can gingivitis be reversed?
By plaque removal!!
Main points of modern plaque hypothesis
2
1) Periodontopathic flora necessary but not suciffient for disease
2) Periodontal diseases are specific mixed infection that cause periodontal destruction in the host
Is stress an aquired and environmental risk factor for plaque
No
Jk, yes!
Biofilm properties
3
1) There are different micro-colonies
2) Microcolonies surrounded by protective matrix
3) Microorganisms in biofilm are resitant to antibiotics, antimicrobias and host response
What color complex is a.a.?
Green
Is the green complex an early or late colonizer
Early
Steps in formation of plaque biofilm
6
1) Association
2) Adhesion
3) Proliferation
4) Micro-colonies
5) Biofilm formation
6) Growth/maturation
Association def
Pellicle forms on tooth
Adhesion def
bacteria bind to pellicle
how long does it take bacteria to bind to pellicle
hours
Growth/maturation def
The biofilm develops a primitive circulatory system
Biofilm formation def
Microcolonies form complex groups with metabolic advantages
Places in mouth that have the most plaque
Most to least:
- Distal>Mid-buccal>Lingua
- Posterior>Anterior
Whats the relation b/w poor oral hygine and gingivitis?
Strong relation
Whats the relation b/w poor oral hygine and risk for developing periodontitis
Not as strong as Poor oral hygine and gingivitis
Is all periodontitis preceded by gingivitis?
Yes
Does all gingivitis lead to periodontitis?
No
Fimbrae mechanism of action
1) Attachemnt
2) Prevention of phagocytosis
