Exam 2 part 2 Flashcards
What are the bacteria involved in both NUG and NUP
P. intermedia, Spirochetes, Fusiformbacteria
What kind of tissue is involved in NUG
Involves both stratified squamous epithelium & underlying CT
Define NUG
Acute necrotizing inflammation of the gingival margin
Is NUG contagious?
No
What is another name for NUG and why was that made popular?
Trench mouth
1914 WWI, WWII
Age groups that NUG occurs in
Occurs in all ages but mainly 20-30
Visually what do you see in NUG
Forms Pseudomembrane
- Replaces destroyed epithelium
- Meshwork of fibrin, necrotic epithelial cells, PMN’s and various microorganisms
Clinical features of NUG
- Rapid onset
- Severe pain
- Gingival bleeding; may or may not be spontaneous
- Interdental Crater, punched put papilla, PSEUDOMEMBRANE, fetid (sulfur) breath
Etiology - Host Response of NUG
Systemic predisposing factors Immunosuppression - AIDS Stress Smoking Diet
Etiology - Oral Hygiene of NUG
Pre-existing gingivitis
Opportunistic microorganisms
Main Etiology of NUG
Microorganisms - P. intermedia, Spirochetes, Fusiformbacteria Other Factors - Host resistance + smoking - Oral hygiene - Local irritants
In what zone is NUG of the Listgarten’s 4 zones
Zone 4: Zone of spirochetal infiltration
- Well-preserved tissue infiltrated with spirochetes
Describe the pseudomembrane feature of NUG
Replaces destroyed epithelium
Meshwork of fibrin, necrotic epithelial cells, PMN’s, and various microorganisms
Treatment of NUG
- First visit - debridement, OHI
- Evaluate systemic factors
- Recall visit - 1-2 weeks, eval. OH, further tx
- Final re-eval - 4-6 wks, consider surgery
- If fever present give antibiotics first: Amoxicillin and Metronidazole
Extraoral and systemic signs and symptoms of NUG
- Slight elevation in temperature
- Local lymphadenopathy
- Patients usually ambulatory with no systemic complications
What are the Listgarden’s 4 zones for NUG
Zone 1: Bacterial zone
- Superficial, contains bacteria
Zone 2: Neutrophil-rich Zone
- Numerous leukocytes, mostly PMN’s, bacteria, spirochetes
Zone 3: Necrotic Zone
- Dead cells, fibers, spirochetes, and other bacteria
Zone 4: Zone of spirochetal infiltration
- Well-preserved tissue infiltrated with spirochetes
What is NUP
Essentially that same as NUG, however there is bone loss involved in NUP
In what people can Primary herpes occur
In kids & Immunocompromised adults
- All races equally, both sexes
