Exam II - Lecture I Flashcards
What are the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation?
Redness - rubor

What is the most important thing in innate immunity?
Intact tissue
Innate immunity consists of what?
Serum complement
Neutrophil
Monocyte-macrophage
What is the line b/t acute inflammation and chronic inflammation?
When monocytes-macrophages get involved, then it goes to chronic and usually involves acquired immunity
Acquired immunity has what cells?
Lymphocytes
What leads to a systemic infection?
Lymphocytes cannot handle the infection
Probing depth is a _________ finding.
Pocket depth is a _________ finding.
Clinical
Histological
Tell me some factors of the histopathology of periodontal disease.

Destruction of collagen fiber network
Tell me histologic symptoms of an initial lesion of periodontitis. 6 symptoms.
1- Classic vasculitits of vessels subjacent to the JE
2- Exudate
3- Increased migration of leukocytes into the JE and sulcus

6- Loss of perivascular collagen
Tell me clinical symptoms of an initial lesion of periodontitis.
Appears clinically healthy
No pocketing
No radiographic evidence of bone loss
Tell me 5 histologic symptoms of an early lesion of periodontitis.
1- Accentuation of features of the initial lesion
2- Accumulation of lymphoid cells subjacent to JE
3- Cytopathic alterations of fibroblasts
4- Further loss of collagen fiber network of the marginal gingiva
5- Beginning proliferation of basal cells of JE
Tell me 4 clinical symptoms of an early lesion of periodontitis.
1- Gingivitis (acute)
2- Changes In gingival color, contour, consistency, and BOP
3- No pocketing
4- No bone loss
Tell me 6 histologic symptoms of an established lesion of periodontitis.
- Persistence of the symptoms of the acute inflammation
- Predominance of plasma cells w/o appreciable bone loss
- Presence of immunoglobulins extravascularly in the CT an dJE
- Continuing loss of CT noted in early lesion
- Proliferation, apical migration, and lateral extension of JE
- Early pocket formation +/-
Tell me 4 clinical symptoms of an established lesion of periodontitis.
- Gingivitis (Chronic form)
- Changes in gingival color, contour, consistency, and BOP
- No pocketing
- No bone loss
Tell me 8 histologic symptoms of an advanced lesion of periodontitis.
- All features of established lesion
- Extension into alveolar bone and PDL w/ significant bone loss
- Continuous loss of collagen
- Altered plasma cells
- Formation of pockets
- Periods of quiescence and exacerbation
- Conversion of distant bone marrow into fibrous CT
- Widespread manifestations of inflammation
Tell me 4 clinical symptoms of an advanced lesion of periodontitis.
- Periodontitis
- Changes in gingival color, contour, consistency, and BOP
- Periodontal pocket formation
- Alveolar bone loss as shown on radiographs
Periodontitis in children is evidenced by the presence of ___________, not plasma cells.
Lymphocytes
Periodontitis in adults is characterized by presence of _________.
Plasma cells
FAs, FMLP, and LPS attract what?
PMNs
What is the current model of periodontitis?
Microbial challenge ->Host Immune-inflammatory response -> CT and bone metabolism -> Clinical signs of disease initiation and progression
*Genetic risk, environmental, and acquired risk factors lead into this as well
Those that get aggressive periodontitis are said to be _____-________.
HYPER-Responsive
Those that are said to have no response to a bacterial challenge are called _____-________.
HYPO-Responsive
Tell me the critical pathway model of pathogenesis.
Pathogenic flora->immune response (Complement, mast cells, antibodies, neutrophil clearance)
IF clearance does not occur, then what? -Bacterial penetration —Either a systemic exposure, or —Monocyte, lymphocyte axis —-Initial periodontitis has begun -Leads to cytokines, inflammation and tissue destruction, pocketing and bone loss
What attacks plaque?
Mast cells
Acute phase proteins
Complement
PMNs
Antibodies (Adaptive)
What do mast cells have in them?
Granules
Mast cells release ________ which cause vasodilation.
Histamine
*Also Fc fragments and IgE
T/F - Mast cells have granules.
TRUE
The etiology of gingivitis, periodontitis, and caries is what?
PLAQUE BIOFILM
T/F - Gingivitis is due to the host response.
TRUE
T/F - >90% of Americans have periodontal disease (Gingivitis). ~50% of Americans have periodontitis.
TRUE
What WBC is one of the 1st responders to an infection?
MAST Cell
- Granules
- No phagocytosis
- Comes from myeloid stem cell line
- -Common receptor is the Fc fragment receptor of IgE*
What activates and causes anaphylaxis?
MAST CELLS
What do mast cells release? 6 things
Histamine (Vasoactive amines)
Eosinophil chemotactic factor
Platelet activating factor
Enzymes
Leukotrienes C, D, E
Prostaglandin PGD2, thromboxane
T/F - Anaphylaxis can happen from latex and/or rubber gloves.
TRUE
T/F - According to Winkler, C3a binds on the surface of the mast cell.
TRUE
What is histamine SRSA?
Slow reacting substance A
What releases interleukins?
ONLY WBCs
Vasodilation does what to blood flow?
SLOWS IT DOWN
