Exam 2 Flashcards
Classifications of periodontal diseases and condition
- gingival diseases
- chronic periodontitis
- aggressive periodontitis
- periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease
- necrotizing periodontal disease
- abscess of the periodontium
- periodontitis associated with endodontic lesions
- developmental or acquired deformities and conditions
gingivitis vs periodontitis
gingivitis: reversible tissue damage, no apical migration of JE
periodontitis: irreversible tissue damage, apical migration of JE
Pseudopocket
gingival pocket fake pocket no bone loss deepening of gingival sulcus because of swelling or enlargement medications and disease will affect this
acute
lasts for short period of time, something happens then goes away, edema
edema
extra fluid in connective tissue that results in swollen tissue
Chronic
extended period of time, something happens and then keeps happening, getting worse, body tried to repair tissue by building collagen, fibrotic gingiva
fibrotic gingiva
isn’t red
It is chronic
Hard to probe subgingival
It is pink because it has been like this for a while
Smoked for a long time (you would see this)
This isn’t healthy
Probably wont bleed, usually isn’t painful
not really reversible
Looks swollen, pink, and fibrous
the two types of gingival diseases (the etiology)
- plaque induced
2. non-plaque induced
plaque induced gingival disease
most common, blunted, bleeding, gram negative for a few days of not removing (24-48 hrs)
generalized
most or all the teeth
more than 30%
localized
specific and tell you where, it can be anything but the whole mouth
(less than 30%)
papillary inflammation
papilla
marginal inflammation
papilla and marginal
diffuse inflammation
papilla, marginal, and further down
how to educate/treat pt that has inflamed gingiva
Monitor OHI, teach OHI, base line data, systemic disease (preventing from healing properly)
Poor debridement, poor OHI, systemic
Tell me about OHI, check debridement, concern that there is a systemic disease that is causing the gingiva from preventing properly.
coalesce
come together
cyanotic
blue/purple
plaque induced gingivitis modified by local factors
plaque is happening but crowding, diastama, restoration that has a chip, tooth that developed chipped, ortho treatment make the plaque worse
plaque induced gingivitis modified by systemic factors
hormones, pregnant, birth control
biofilm is the problem but the systemic disease makes it worse
pregnancy gingivitis
, pyogenic granuloma (forms as a result of inflammation, pregnant tumor, usually maxilla, 2nd and 3rd trimester, will bleed like crazy, will resolve when pt is not pregnant, pyogenic tissue. Started from biofilm and it is important to floss and brush even if it bleeds, it is painful to the patient
anti seizure drugs
Dilation
gingival hyperplasia
plaque induced gingivitis modified by medication
Biofilm is the problem, gingival hyperplasia, Drugs cause hyperplasia biofilm exacerbate (make worse) the gingivitis, These drugs can cause excessive accumulation of connective tissue in many other tissues in the body.
anti seizure drugs
immunosuppressive drugs
cardiac drugs
immunosuppressive drugs
Cyclsporine
cardiac drugs
procardia
plaque induced gingivitis modified by malnutrition
Vitamin C Deficiency
The gingiva becomes very hemorrhagic and swollen and the condition can progress to a more advanced periodontitis with extensive bone loss and tooth loss.
non plaque induced gingivitis
not common no biofilm these cause gingivits: Streptococcal infections of the throat and oral tissues in young children Syphilis Gonorrhea
Necortizing Ulcerative gingivitis
Necrotizing – to die Ulcerative – lesion Loss of epithelial tissue NUG no bone loss fusiform bacteria and spirochetes "trench out" punched out IDPs covered with a white necrotic pseudo membrane fetor oris (bad odor) acute infection painful Poor nutrition, not enough sleep, alcohol and drug use, under stress NUG is common on a college campus My gums hurt so bad, I can’t brush: NUG Tired, not feeling right, fever, lymphonapothy
Treatment to NUG
Remember patient is in pain
Debridement: ultra sonic, usually not much calculus
OHI: talk about
Systemic antibiotics: depending on symptoms , antimicrobial mouth rinse
materalic odor
Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis
primary herpes infection 1st exposure to herps viral infection children General malaise (tried, flu like) Vesicle formation present which may coalesce (come together) into ulcerative lesions Odor, but no distinctive fetor oris Treatment is palliative (fluids, pedisure) pt doesn’t want to eat Blister Wide spread pain not the normal
non plaque induced gingivitis (genetic origins)
gingival enlargement
idiopathic
just happens
idiopathic
no reason
gingival manifestation of systemic condition
Gingival enlargement with the absent of local factors we are looking for other reasons
Blood dyscrasias (outside the number limit of normal):
Acute leukemia: hemorrhagic and swollen gingival tissues far more pronounced than what would normally be expected from the amount of plaque and calculus present.
This is a very life threatening disease
gingival manifestation of dermatologic condition
Immune related
White appearance
Plaque has nothing to do with it
Usually on skin
lace like pattern
Lichen Planus: a chronic immune related disease
affects skin and mucous membranes
Wickham’s striae
Topical steroids have been used to tx but no known cure.
Benign Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid (cicatricial pemphigoid):Chronic vesiculobullous disease
Blistering and sloughing of surface epithelium.
Might be an autoimmune reaction disease similar to Lichen Planus.
More common in older individuals and females
Bulla up to 10 mm in size
Vesicle
blister
Nikolskys sign
taking a cotton roll and wipe it along the tissue, a layer comes off and a blister forms
desquamative gingivitis or gingivosis
autoimmune
painful erosive lesions
topical steroids and systemic steroid therapy may help
desquamative
Sheading layers of tissues
Traumatic lesions
Hurt the tissue
Eat hot pizza
Damage to the gingival tissue by trauma is common
Pizza burns, chemical burns such as with aspirin placed on the gingiva for pain relief, cuts from chicken bones or crusty breads or potato chips etc…
Some traumatic lesions if severe enough can lead to advanced recession
foreign body reactions
Localized painful lesions with sudden onset
tongue pricing
periodontal disease
Loss of connective tissue attachment
Loss of crestal alveolar bone. This loss of alveolar bone occurs through bone resorption (breaking down)
Bacteria and their byproducts break down the interface between the Sulcular epi and cause detachment of the JE and CT
Pockets deepen as a result of collagen breakdown in the gingival CT by enzymes such as collagenase.
Bacteria release a number of chemotactic substances that increase the flow of neutrophils in the gingival sulcus.
Neutrophils react with bacteria, producing suppuration
Periodontal case type with letter A
systemic disease that affects periodontal disease
Periodontal case type 1
pd: 1-4 mm
bone: no bone loss (1-2 mm from CEJ)
Mobility: WNL
CAL: 0mm
Periodontal case type 2
pd: 4-5 mm
bone: early (3-4 mm from CEJ)
Mobility: WNL/ class 1
CAL: 1-2mm
Periodontal case type 3
pd: 5-7 mm
bone: moderate (4-6 mm from CEJ)
Mobility: class 1-2
CAL: 3-4 mm
Periodontal case type 4
pd: 7+ mm
Bone: severe (6+ mm from CEJ)
Mobility: class 1-2
CAL: 5+ mm
Chronic Periodontitis
Bone loss that progresses slowly in a predominantly horizontal fashion.
Adults, children, and adolescents
Accumulation of plaque and calculus**
Most common
***May be associated with smoking, stress and systemic factors
may be localized or generalized
~can be in state or exacerbation or quiescence
~most reliable to determine an active state is document CAL
(Bio film is causing it- How to host is responding to it, it may make it worse)
~bone loss over years
what is CAL?
refers to the position of the periodontal attached tissues at the base of a sulcus or pocket. Clinical attachment level is measured from a fixed point (usually the CEJ) to the attachment.
estimation
exaverbation
activity
quiescence
no activity
chronic periodontitis: CAL is more important than probing depth…..But why is the probing depth significant ??
~ Bacteria is building up and no one is able to clean it
chronic periodontitis: How do radiographs aid the assessment?
~ 1-2 mm from the bone shown on a radiograph
chronic periodontitis: can you treat as RDH?
~ yes except when the condition is getting worse and you do not do anything about it. Supervised neglect (could be sued), at least refer and if they do not go that is not RDH’s fault.
- Always probe, 3mo recall, OHI
chronic periodontitis: bacteria
P. gingivalis is probably the most common , also T forsythia, P intermedia, F nucleatum, and AA.
Chronic periodontitis:
- states
- determines states
- time period
- %
- most prevalent in
- other info
~can be in state or exacerbation or quiescence
~most reliable to determine an active state is document CAL
(Bio film is causing it- How to host is responding to it, it may make it worse)
~bone loss over years
~ 5-20% of adults in US
~ adults, may affect children or adolescents
~destruction is consistent with local factors
~subgingival calculus is frequently found
~variable microbial pattern
~slow to mod. progression with periods of more rapid progression
~classified on the basis of extent and severity
~associated with local predisposing factors
~may be modified by systemic disease
~may be modified by stress and tobacco.
chronic periodontitis: bacteria
P. gingivalis is probably the most common , also T forsythia, P intermedia, F nucleatum, and AA.
chronic periodontitis: treatment
~removal of biofilm and calculus
~OHI, perio charting, films, antimicrobial, antibiotics, quad scaling, local anesthesia
~Not going to matter is a systemic disease is going to make this worse
