Q

What are some problems with therapeutic mouth rinses?

A

Q

Purpose of doxycycline

A

Inhibits the effects of collagenase, and inhibits part of the destruction that can occur in perio

It also has a low incidence of adverse effects

Can reduce probe depths and result in attachment gains. Can also prevent disease progression.

Q

Statins

A

Appear to offer protection against systemic inflammation

28
Q

How many perio cases are attributed to current smoking

A

42.9%

29
Q

What’s the increased risk of perio in cigarette smokers?

A

2-3x

30
Q

True or false
Smokeless tobacco is associated with severe buccal recession

A

True

31
Q

In patients that smoke, what is their biofilm colonized by?

A

P. Gingivalis

32
Q

Why isn’t perio always clinically obvious in smokers?

A

Nicotine has vasoconstrictor qualities which impair blood flow. This will cause low signs of inflammation. Igg production is decreased, and so are neutrophils.

33
Q

True or false, bone loss in smokers is dose dependent

A

True. Usually 10 cigs

34
Q

What is biologic width?

A

Portion of the periodontium coronal to the alveolar crest. Basically the combined areA of the JE AND CT

35
Q

True or false, alveolar bone resorption can result from increased pressure from teeth

A

True

36
Q

What are clinical and radiographic signs of occlusal trauma?

A

Tooth mobility
Sensitivity to pressure
Migration of teeth
Widened funnel shaped pdl
Angular alveolar bone resorption

37
Q

What is primary occlusal trauma?

A

Wide pdl
Mobility
Tooth/jaw pain
REVERSIBLE WHEN TRAUMA IS REMOVED
Excessive occlusal forces on intact periodontium

38
Q

Secondary occlusal trauma

A

Normal or excessive forces on periodontitis
Inflammation plus OT-rapid bone loss
Addition damage due to lateral forces

39
Q

AGE

A

Advanced glycation end products

40
Q

RAGE

A

Receptor for advanced glycation end products

41
Q

Glycation

A

Blood glucose irreversibly binds to proteins and lipids forming AGE which are harmful by products

Increased AGE causes neuropathy, retinal disease, and kidney failure in diabetics.

Allegedly degrade collagen elastin

42
Q

Where is RAGE found

A

On cell membrane surface of endothelial, neurons, monocytes/macrophages and periodontium

43
Q

True/false, AGE+RAGE is a major factor for exaggerated periodontal and systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, and impaired tissue repair in diabetic patients with perio

A

True

44
Q

True/false acute stress is immunoenhancing

A

True

45
Q

Linear gingival erythema

A

Associated with HIV, form of candidiases, non biofilm induced, not responsive to conventional therapy.

46
Q

Virulence factor

A

Mechanisms that enable biofilm bacteria to colonize and damage periodontal tissues

47
Q

LPS-lipopolysaccharide

A

Gram - bacteria responsible for initiating inflammation

48
Q

T/f prostaglandins initiate most of the alveolar bone destruction in periodontitis

A

True

49
Q

Innate

A

First line against pathogens
No memory

50
Q

Adaptive

A

Develops throughout life
Requires time to react
Memory. Reacts quick on second exposure to same pathogen
