Q

What is the progression of chronic periodontitis

A

slow to moderate progression; may have periods of rapid progression

24
Q

Chronic periodontitis can be associated with local predisposing factors and may be modified by and/or associated with what two things

A

systemic diseases

environmental factors such as smoking or stress

25
Q

What two things can chronic periodontitis be classified upon

A

extent and severity

26
Q

What two categories on extent can chronic periodontitis be classified as

A

localized (≤30)

generalized (>30%)

27
Q

What are the three categories of classifying the severity of chronic periodontitis

A

slight (1mm-2mm CAL)
moderate (3mm-4mm CAL)
severe (> 5mm CAL)

28
Q

This was formally known as pre-pubertal, localized/generalized juvenile, early-onset periodontitis and can be identified as localized or generalized

A

aggressive periodontitis

29
Q

What are the three common features of aggressive periodontitis

A

systemically healthy
rapid attachment loss and bone destruction
familial aggregation

30
Q

What are 6 secondary features of aggressive periodontitis

A

generally but may not be universally present
microbial deposits are inconsistent with the amount of periodontal destruction
elevated AA and P. gingivalis
phagocyte abnormalities
hyper-responseive macrophage phenotype
