Q

subgingival plaque

A
  • less organized!! mostly gram -, anaerobic, capnophilic** perio bac!

Inflammation helps, esp with increase in gingival fluid containing growth factors not present in saliva
Because of pocket, the gingival flow is removed so bacteria stick better
Less transport of new bac via saliva
Dentinal tubules are colonized!!
– shedding surface!!
- bac adhere using fimbriae and pili (made of polymeric fibrils that are composed of repeating subunits that can extend far from cell mem)

A

makes endotoxin for cytokine activity, vesicles (with toxic crap inside that can damage from a distance), cell toxic substances, specific cytotoxins like reducing gradient of PMN chemotaxis and phagocytosis,
- specific proteases, trypsin like proteases like gingipains (very aggressive and violent. food source. Also mess with host response)
- collagenase, invasins,
- capsule to protect against phago (increase pathogenic)
- FIMBRIAE TYPE A that can bind integrins or host cell stuff

25
nonspecific plaque hypo
- perio results from plaque accumulation regardless of species present within dental plaque
26
oral mucosa, gingivitis and perio
- gingival crevice btw free gingiva and tooth surface is where inflam rxn start, including complement activation - gingivitis: confined in gingiva and CT - perio is bad PDL, deep gingival pocket, alveolar bone loss - can become systemic - tissue damage by host does biggest problem! - majority of virulence factors in perio come from not previously known species!!!
27
PSD
- perio is increased bad bac, less good bac = indigenous polymicrobial synergy and disbiosis - group orgs do disease rather than 1 - involves accessory path (commensal but help pathogens colonize too) and pathobionts (commensals that take advantage of disbalance and promote inflam disease)
28
inflam and perio
- with no brushing, cause bac growth, leading to inflam - inflam brings in GCF and stuff to heal, but the bac EAT IT TO GROW using proteases, heme (take out iron), blood derived peroxidase (stop h202) and potassium
29
p gingivalis and host responses
- messes up the TLR myD and activates MAL to block phago and promote inflam - this benefits ALL dysbiotic bac
30
immune subversion
first poor hygeine leads to inflam then susceptible host leads to immune subversion by keystone path causing inflam and dysbiosis - degredation of complement - manipulate chemokine expression - block TLR dependent killing of bacteria ** all red bac can do this
31
dysbiosis factors
- subversion of host, systemic disease like dia, obesity, smoking, aging, immune regulatory defects - leads to inflam!! - in gingivitis that moves to perio, there are certain factors that select for perio dysbiosis
32
genetics and perio
- chronic adult type is polygenic while monogenic is seen in young patients with b2 integrin problems - LAD1 so no transition to tissue - neutropenia (ELANE): not enough neutro - WHIM syndrome: don't release neutro from bone marrow - Chedia higashi/ papillon lefevre also does perio - aging
33
immune cells and perio
- neutrophils, APC and t lymphs - if any are blocked, leads to perio
34
neutrophils and perio
- can be protective and destructive - LAD1 problem leads to NOT enough neutro so allow more perio destruction - problems in MMP, ROS and pro inflam cytokines (IL1, TNF) when too much neutro
35
LAD1 and DEL1 problem
- problem with b2 integran so no transition to tissue - leads to no release of il 17! - DEL1 restrains b2 integrin (LFA1) transmigration of neutro - problems in DEl1 leads to TOO much neutro - aging leads to less DEL1
36
complement
- normal regulates pathogens - bad complement can lead to hyperinflam - activated comp is found in inflam gingiva of GCF - activation of c3 in GCF increases with pocket depth - perio leading to bone loss - microbes exploit complement to do dysbiosis - complement inhibitor, AMY101, stops perio inflam
37
inflam resolution
- neutrophils do apoptosis of the pathogen, then add it to macrophage - pro resolving mediators are TGFb - resolving macrophages restore tissue integrity and destroy bad cells
38
pro resolving lipid mediators
- arachidonic acid make lipoxins - eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) make resolvins - docoshexaenoic acid (DHA) make resolvins - lead to downreg of inflam mediators, stop neutro, efferocytosis (eating of neutro by macro), tissue repair
39
DEL 1
- promotes efferocytosis by binding phosphatidyk serine on apoptotic cells abd avb3 integrin on macrophage - also increases the expression of resolvins - bad DEl1 or resolvins leads to non resolving perio
40
osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption
- osteoblast and lymphocytes have RANK that binds to RANK on osteoclast - osteoprotegrin - RANKL is induced by inflam!! so high RANK/OPG ratio
41
B cells and perio
- B cells recruited to periodontium, then antibody diffuses into gingival sulcus to suppress bacterial challenge - B and plasma cells make proinflam cytokines, MMP and rankl, so prob do perio
42
treg does
makes tgfb and immune suppression - might stop perio
43
th17
innate immunity, inflammation = autoimmunity - il 17 induces RANKL on fibroblasts and also stim TNF, Il1 and 6 - do osteoclastogenesis - impaired dev (autosomal dom hyper IgE syndrome) means less perio BUT more susceptible to oral fungal infections - makes antimicrobial peptides
44
th1
cell mediated/adaptive immunity = hypersensitivity
45
th2
humoral adaptive = allergy
46
systemic disease and perio
- bacteria can travel all over leading to sys inflam, alterations in bone marrow!! - gingipains found in alzheimr patients - atherosclerosis - bac can translocate to gut and gause gut inflam!!! through th17 that do SPECIFICITY to the bac and have strong response - memory cells in bone marrow react supar bad to perio bugs anywhere else in body
47
host modulation
- change host immune to stop tissue damage - doxycyclince inhibits MMPS - can block complement, DEL1 blocks LFA1 - RANKL antagonists - block Il17
48
caries
- will find bac and fungi!! esp in kids with severe - can treat it if you breakdown the EPS!
49
glucosyltransferases found where
- bac breaks down sucrose via glucosyltransferases into water-soluble glucans (GFTB and C) and C and D - made by strep mutans to make glucan. has also a binding domain to help build a chain of polymers - if inhibited, can stop cariogenic plaque. can also predict caries using this - present in human whole saliva and pellicle AND bound to bac mem - form glucans even at low pH on tooth surfaces - these allow microbes to bind!!! using binding proteins (gbp a,b,c,d) - also make EPS that is suppper sticky - sucrose allows EPS and acid production, thus making biofilm!! - has 1,3 linkages that can be broken by mutanase
50
acid production
- acidogenic bac transport fermentable carbs using sugar ABC transport system OR phosphotransferase system - also effective in carrying out glycolysis and making acid from fermentable carbs = lactic acid that acidifies the eco - survive at low pH by increasing ATPase, DNA repair at low pH, and changes in FA composition - leads to demineralization of enamel BUT saliva is a buffer to remin - acid pockets form, not hetero!!
51
EPS and acid
- can label EPS and see the glucans made - shows that bac need EPS to grow - eps needs sugar to grow - EPS is like a diffusion barrier to stop saliva from neutralizing acid pockets - also assists in demin!!
52
which xrays for which treatments
- bitewings for caries and interprox bone levels ALSO FOR PROXIMAL SMOOTH SURFACE CARIES - periapical for interproximal caries and root - pano for occlusal carries - cbct shows tooth support structure bitewing>PA.pano *frequent radiograph exposure isn't high caries risk
53
american dental association caries classification system
- e1 is invaded outerhalf enamel - e2 is at dej - d1 is outer dentin d3 is innermost dentin **restore past d2, d3 is endo/extract
54
types of caries
0 pit and fissure - approximal/interprox - cervical/smooth surface (buccal/lingual) **radiation caries!! - root
55
international caries classification and management system (ICCMS)
- ra1 is lucent outer half enamel - ra2 is inner enamel NO DEJ - ra3 is outer dentin - rb4 is outer third dentin extended - rc5 is inner third - rc6 is pulp
56
cervical burnout
- right by the crest, smooth edge - shadow, not cavity!
57
crest cortication
- in anterior teeth, it is pointed and well corticated around the top btw 0.5-2 mm
58
perio and alveolar process changes
- resoroption - vertical bone defect (big angle) - buccal or lingual cortical plate loss (CBCT) - horizontal bone loss - interdental craters - furcation of roots
59
other perio radio problems
- apical abcess is NOT same as perio abcess - perio endo lesion - calculus - tooth alignment (MALOCCLUSION) - overhanging restorations - malignant lesion (looks like tooth is floating)
60
root canal system
- small cns btw teeth - contains odontoblasts, t cells, fibroblast, nerves, blood, lymph, undiff stem cells - should be sterile - necrotic pulp is no vasculature, no inflam, and leads to bac infxn (no response to cold and leads to resorption at apex)
61
pulpal hyperemia
- result of caries, trauma, fracture, invasive restoration, bad response to dental materials, perio disease - can also get in via root planing, root restoration - extraradicular colonization: - first cracket tooth, then ^^ leads to hyperaemiea (MORe blood flow) then pulpal ischaemia (no o2) to necrosis
62
apical perio
- bac invade perio tissues, resulting in invasion of necrotic pulp - protective response to stop bac going into marrow - inflammation has nowhere to go so bac just resorb bone - can be symptomatic, dev into chronic abcess - intraradicular biofilms in 80% even post treatment - diff morph of biofilms, dentinal tubules often invaded - more common in root canals of teeth with large apical peiro lesions (all teeth with endo infxns)
63
periapical abcess
- acute is inflam rxn to pulp infxn. fast onset and spontaneous pain, tender tooth to pressure. pulp forms and swelling - usually necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis - chronic is gradual, no discomfort, pus discharge, no symptom *** extraradicular - have gram + anaerobes like actinomyces and PROPIONIBACTERIUM PROPIONICUM
64
how to ID endo infxn and ox tension
- 40% non cultivatable - culture based, but for not, can use 16s ribosome sequencing - corontal third is high o2, many nutrients - apical third (lowest) is least o2, serum protein is food, many bac by products ** treatment requires full removal of bac, by products and pulpal debris from root canal system
65
endo infxn virulence factors
- colonization of root canal via adhesion - evasion of host defenses using protease, capsule, complement - tissue damage via proteases, lps endotoxin - indirect damage by inflam response like cytokines
66
endo biofilms characteristics
- has channels, defense, more tolerate to antimicrobials (chlorhexidine and antibiotics, gene transfer), neutralize cell toxins using b lactamases, new gene expression, cell cell signalling, ph and o2 gradients, catabolism of host macromolec, more virulent
67
primary and secondary intraradicular biofilms
primary - infxn of necrotic pulp - less divers flora mainly from dental plaque, caries, saliva - facultative then anaerobic, protein bac - 40% can't cultivate secondary - occur in previously treated!!! with persistent apical perio - mostly gram +, facultative anaerobe INCLUDING strem, lacto and actinomyces - enteric orgs like E facalis (EW)
68
extraradicular biofilm
- outside of pulp - form on root surface adjacent to root apex of endo treated teeth - most common in situations with sinus tract and no response to treatment - found in teeth with asymptomatic apical perio, chronic apical and sinus tracts - can be come calcified - usually T forsynthesis, F nucleatum, P gingivalis
69
endo vs perio biofilm
- endo is less diverse, less nutrients - perio is more diverse, more nutrients
70
e faecalis
- persistant following RCT - very good at forming biofilms, attaching to denting via collagen binding protein - small enough to colonize dentinal tubules - can tolerate basic pH too so resistant to therapy - can starve and use serum as nutrient source - gram +
71
local aggressive perio is usually
in incisors and first molars
72
can radiographs be used to see if surface of a lesion is cavitated
no
73
do biofilms help bac survive better in a variety of Phs
NO!
74
subgingival eco vs supra
- higher temp, more iron, proteins, decreased ox, BUT NOT DECREASED PH
75
amount of attachment loss = disease for which condition
chronic perio!!
76
what happens in healthy mouth
f nucleatum DOESNT CAUSE gingivitis - low GCF flow - there can be a host immune response even in normal ** include the red bac tho
77
why does koch postulate not work for bac
- because bac might be a result of favourable conditions induced by perio disease
78
dentinal tubules
- dia is narrower near enamel, lined by collagen ** NOT a route for pulp infection
79
arrested lesions
- shiny, no sealant, more resistant to caries than uneffected enamel ***THEY AREN'T WHITE
80
is p gingivalis in mature supra gingival plaque
NO
81
adults and kids with perio
8.5% adults, 25% kids?
82
rampant caries =
early childhood caries
83
trauma leads to
widening of PDL (radiolucent) - lamina dura is opaquw
84
perio vs malignant lesion
- radiolucent is malignant lesion and it looks like something is pushing it (flaoting teeth)
