Exam #1 Review Flashcards
Gingivitis
Signs and symptoms that are confined to the gingiva
Presence of plaque that causes the issue
No CAL
Reversibility of the disease by removing the etiology
Periodontitis
Attachment loss
Chronic periodontiis
Slow to moderate progression
Seen in adults
Can be modified by systemic factors
Extent of chronic periodontitis
Localized = 30%
Severity of periodontitis
Slight = 1-2mm CAL Moderate = 3-4mm CAL Severe = 5+mm CAL
Aggressive Periodontitis
Systemically healthy
Familial aggregation
Localized Aggressive Periodontitis
Young patients
1st molars and incisors plus =2 other teeth
Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis
1st molars and incisors plus >2 other teet
Mendelian trait
If you have the gene, you have the trait
If you don’t have the gene, you don’t have the trait
Polygenic traits
Requires a bunch of different genes develop one phenotype
Represented on a bell curve (most people in the middle, but some on the extremes)
Periodontitis Association with Mendelian genetics
There are only certain periodontic conditions associated with single gene mutations
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome mutation
Collagen defects
Neutropenias mutation
Neutrophil anomalies
Leukocyte Adhesion deficiency mutation
B-subunit leukocyte adhesion molecule
Hypophosphetasia mutation
B-alkaline phosphatase
Papillon Lefevre syndrome mutation
Cathepsin C defect
Haim Munk Syndrom mutation
Cathepsin C defect
Prepubertal Periodontitis mutation
Cathepsin C defect
Affresive periodontitis mutation
Cathepsin C defect
Monozygotic twins
Have identical genes
Diazygotic twins
Share half of genes
Disease cause wholly or partially by genetic factors has a higher rate in what type of twins?
Monozygotic
If monozygotic twids are not fully concordinant, what does this tell us about a disease?
Environmental factors must be etiologic
What do twin studies tell us about periodontitis?
Monozygotic twins were twice as likely to develop chronic periodontitis than diazygotics
This suggests that genetics make an important contribution
What does a segregation analysis tell us?
Tells us the pattern of diseases segregating in families - can determine if occurence in family is constant with the genetic model
Which genetic model passes periodontitis?
Almost all of them
What did a linkage analysis tell us about the chromosomal location of aggressive periodontitis?
There are multiple forms and many locations where it can be found
How do you measure CAL?
CAL = PD + recession
What is biologic width measurement
2mm
KEratinized gingiva
The marginal gingiva and the attached gingiva
Free gingival groove
Junction between the attached gingiva and the marginal gingiva
Corresponds with the CEJ
Only observable in 30-40% of adults
