Game «Periodontal Disease» Flashcards
What is Gingivitis characterized by?
Inflammation of the marginal gingiva without detectable loss of bone or connective tissue attachment.
What occurs as Periodontitis progresses?
More bone and tissue are destroyed, leading to extensive loss, loose teeth, and potential drifting.
What is a manifestation of systemic diseases in relation to Periodontitis?
Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) can cause gingival recession, localized bleeding, and generalized periodontal bone loss.
What are the clinical signs of Papillon-Lefevre syndrome?
Extended periodontal inflammation, hyperkeratotic palmo-plantar skin lesions, and severe bone loss around teeth.
What characterizes Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis (GAP)?
Intense gingival inflammation and heavy plaque deposits leading to massive bone loss in permanent dentition.
What distinguishes Localized Aggressive Periodontitis (LAP)?
Marked gingivitis in a healthy individual with radiographic bone loss primarily in first molar and incisor teeth.
Fill in the blank: Hypophosphatasia is a metabolic disease primarily affecting _______.
infants and children.
What is Neutropenia?
A granulocyte disorder characterized by a dramatically low number of neutrophils.
What dental manifestations are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome?
Missing keratinized gingiva, fragile interdental papillae, and severe periodontal bone loss.
What can dental maturity assessments in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia reveal?
Interference with dental formation and root development.
What oral health issues are commonly linked to Down’s syndrome?
Localized or generalized periodontitis, mandibular prognathism, underdeveloped maxilla, caries lesions, delayed eruptions, and oligodontia.
What is Acrodynia related to?
Mercury allergy causing type IV hypersensitivity.
What is the radiographic appearance in a patient with severe periodontal destruction due to uncontrolled diabetes?
Generalized bone loss with spacing, rotation, and partial teeth loss.
True or False: Periodontitis can lead to tooth loss.
True.
What is the primary characteristic of Localized Periodontitis (LP)?
Vertical resorption of alveolar bone around affected teeth.
What is a common radiographic finding in children with acute myelomonocytic leukemia?
Generalized gingival enlargement and alveolar bone loss.
