Exam 1; Classification and Epidemiology of Periodontal Disease Flashcards
True or False
The definitions of health, illness, and disease have varied with the times
True
The successful management of periodontal disease depends in the ability of a clinician to do what three things
accurate diagnosis of periodontal disease
predict the affect of the systemic status of the patient on the course of the disease
confirm the prediction with assessment of therapeutic outcomes
This is a diverse family of complex and distinct pathological entities found within the periodontium that are the result of etiologies
periodontal disease
What are the two periodontal diseases that different depending on the severity of destruction
gingival diseases
destructive periodontal disease (periodontitis)
This is the study of disease origin and spread and pattern of disease development
epidemiolog
This is the number of cases of a disease or condition per population at risk at a particular point in time
prevalence
This is the number of new cases of a disease or condition over a specified period of time
incidence
What is the attachment level
the distance from the CEJ to the JE
What are the three characteristics common to all gingival diseases
clinical signs and symptoms associated with stable attachment levels on a periodontium with no loss of attachment
reversiblility of the disease by removing the etiologies
possible role as a precursor to attachment loss around teeth
What are the five clinical signs on inflammation common to all gingival diseases
enlarged gingival contours due to edema or fibrosis
color transition to a red and/or bluish-red hue
elevated sulcular temperature
bleeding upon stimulation
increased gingival exudate
Gingival diseases modified by systemic factors associated with what three things
the endocrine system
blood dyscrasias
medications
nutrition
What are some endocrinotropic gingival diseases
puberty-assocaited
menstrual cycle-associated
pregnancy-associated
diabetes mellitus-associated
What two things are associated with leukemia-associated gingivitis
gingival lesions are primarily found in acute leukemia
reductions in dental plaque can limit the severity of a lesion
What are two gingival diseases modified by medications
drug influenced gingival enlargements
oral contraceptive associated gingivitis
What three things are involved with gingival disease modified by nutrition, specifically ascorbic acid-deficiency gingivitis
malnourished individuals have compromised host defense systems making them susceptible to infectious diseases
the precise role of nutrition in periodontal diseases remains elucidated
human studies have failed to show relationship between periodontal diseases and nutrition
Are males or females more likely to have gingival inflammation (50%;40%)
Men
What is the main indicator that changes the diagnosis from gingival diseases to periodontitis-like
presence or absence of attachment loss
What are the five clinical manifestations of chronic periodontitis
pocket formation loss of attachment bleeding/suppuration bone loss tooth mobility and drifting
In which group of people id chronic periodontitis most prevalent
adults, but can occur in children and adolescents
Destruction in chronic periodontitis is consistent with what
local factors
This is a frequent finding in chronic periodontitis
subgingival calculus
Chronic periodontitis has what type of microbial pattern
a variable one
