FInal- Periodontitis as a Manifestation of Systemic Disease - High Yield Flashcards
T/F: Diseases and conditions can affect the periodontal tissues by affecting the periodontal supporting tissues INDEPENDENTLY of dental plaque biofilm-induced inflammation:
True
Systemic disorders that have a major impact on the loss of periodontal tissue by influencing periodontal inflammation include: (3)
- genetic disorders
- AIDS
- inflammatory diseases
- Trisomy 21 or mongolism
- characteristic physical appearance
- mental deficiency & growth retardation
down syndrome
List some physical characteristics of Down syndrome:
- mongolism
- small nose, mouth & ears
- slightly bent pinky
- short stocky build
- almond shaped eyes with skin fold covering inner corner
- white spots on colored part of eyes
- flat, round face
Give another name for Down syndrome:
- mongolism
- trisomy 21
Describe how periodontal disease is categorized in Down syndrome:
moderate to severe periodontitis with rapid progression
T/F: In Down syndrome local factors alone explained the severity of periodontal destruction
False- local factors along FAILED to explain the severity of the periodontal destruction
What aspects of down syndrome might contribute to the moderate to severe periodontal destruction with rapid progression?
INTRINSIC IMMUNE SYSTEM DEFECTS
- Poor PMN chemotaxis
- Poor phagocytosis
- Intracellular killing
List the three intrinsic immune system defects seen in Down syndrome:
- poor PMN chemotaxis
- Poor phagocytosis
- Intracellular killing
Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (LAD) is due to a mutation in:
Beta-2 integrin gene (ITGB2)
Lack of Beta-2 Integrin Gene in LAD results in: (2)
- Lack of beta-2 intern mRNA in leukocytes
- Low integrin (CD18 or CD15) expression on neutrophils
- Lack of beta-2 intern mRNA in leukocytes
- Low integrin (CD18 or CD15) expression on neutrophils
This is seen in _____ due to ____
LAD; mutation in beta-2 integrin gene (ITGB2)
Describe the neutrophil insufficiency in LAD:
Neutrophils are confined to blood vessels resulting in disruption of neutrophil-associated homeostasis
In what disease are neutrophils confined to blood vessels, resulting in?
LAD; disruption of neutrophil-associated homeostasis
Describe what is seen in the periodontium of LAD individuals:
History of severe recurrent infection but NO pus; leukocytosis is common
What is a common manifestation that comes along with the history of severe recurrent infection but NO pus in LAD patients?
leukocytosis
Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome is caused by a mutation in:
cathepsin C gene (CTSC)
Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome is caused by a mutation in cathepsin C gene (CTSC) that is located on:
chromosome 11q14
The mutation in Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome (Cathetpsin C gene (CTSC) results in:
- compromised neutrophil function
- decreased phagocytosis
- hyperkeratotic lesons
What type of lesions result from the mutation in the cathepsin C gene (CTSC) in Papillon-Lefvre syndrome?
Hyperkeratotic lesions
- palms
-soles of feet
- elbows
- knees
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome is due to a mutation in:
CHS1 gene & LYST gene
The mutations in CHS1 gene & LYST genes seen in Chediak-Higashi Syndrome result in:
Lysosomal tracking defect
Partial oculocutaneous albinisn is seen in Chediak-Higashi Syndrome, why do we see this?
due to defects in melanin granules
Patients with Chediak-Higashi Syndrome have recurrent pyogenic infections due to:
- circulating leukocytes exhibit DEFECTIVE lysosomes
- Decrease in phagoyctosis
The varying neurologic problems seen in Chediak-Higashi Syndrome include:
- intellectual defecti
- dementia
- Mutation in CHS1
- Mutation in LYST
- Lysosomal tracking defection
- Partial oculocutaneous albinism (defective melanin granules)
- Recurrent pyogenic infections (defective lysosomes in circulating leukocytes & decrease in phagocytosis)
- Varying neurologic problems (intellectual deficit & dementia)
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
Congenital neutropenia results from a mutation in:
ELANE (50%)
HAX1 (10%)
33% unknown cause
Congenital neutropenia results in a ____ number of _____
decreased; neutrophils
What is the ANC level of one with congenital neutropenia?
less than 500 cell/microliter and static
