Q

why diabetes predispose to periodontal disease

A

-COLLAGEN: less synthesis,/ solubiltity
collagenase/ cross-linking
-impaired PMN function (less chemotaxis, migration, phagocytosis

25
what periodontal problems does stress predispose to
chronic perio | NUG
26
things in periodontium that stress INCREASES
- cortisol - cathecholamines in saliva (used by bacteria) - adrenaline/ NA (vasoconstriction, masks BOP) - saliva viscosity/ acidity/ glycoproteins favouring plaque accumulation
27
things in periodontium that stress DECREASES
saliva flow
28
effect of ultrasonic on tissues a. pulp b. root surface c. enamel d. periodontal tissues
a. pulp: heats. with water- 8 degrees. no water- 35 degrees b. root surface: less damage than hand instruments c. enamel:reduced hardness (v bad if demineralised) d. periodontal tissues: minor histological changes
29
contraindications of ultrasonic 9
- TB - comp immunity - implants (dont use metal tips) - resp problems - swallowing probs - primary teeth - newly erupted teeth - decalcified enamel - pacemakers (maybe)
30
what increases with power of ultrasonic
stroke length
31
when to use beavertail ultrasonic
large supragingival deposits
32
effect of faulty O ring on ultrasonic
water leak
33
what is ultrasonic coil made of
copper
34
best angle of ultrasonic tip on tooth
15 degrees
35
when to disguard ultrasonic tip
2mm wear at tip
36
4 modes of action of ultrasonic
- lavage (removes debris) - mechanical (disrupts biofilm) - acoustic (vibration --> effects beyond tip surface) - cavitation (bacterial cell wall)
37
what is stillmans cleft
the small fissures extending apically from the midline of the gingival margin in teeth subjected to trauma. Although these clefts may be found in traumatism, they are not necessarily diagnostic of occlusal trauma.
38
is periodontal disease primary or secondary occlusal trauma? explain
secondary- teeth weakened, (primary is due to forces acting on teeth)
39
response of periodontium to unilateral (sideways) forces
inc mobility, normal PDL width
40
response of periodontium to jiggling forces
inc mobility, increased PDL width
41
effect of scleroderma on periodontium
inc PDL width
42
effect of vit c deficiency on periodontium
swollen bleeding gingivae, tooth hypermobility
43
side effect of phenytoin
gingival hypertophy (50% pts) due to inc collagen, proteoglycans, GAGs, less immune response
44
3 drugs that cause gingival hyperplasia and % pts affected
- phenytoin (50%) - cyclosporin (30%) - calcium channel blockers (5-20%)

describe these tooth brushing techniques: a. bass b. modified bass c. scrub d. fone's

rank of perio as most prevalent disease
6th

4N

how much does interdental brushing reduce interdental plaque
50%

``` STECC: stannous fluoride triclosan essential oils chlorhexidine CPC (centylpyridinum chloride) ```
56
Loe and Silness 1963 gingival index
subjective assessment based on gum colour/ consistency/ bleeding; 4sites per tooth and divide (like Turesky) 0= normal 1= mild inflammation, slight colour change/ oedema, no bleeding 2= moderate inflammation, redness, oedema, BoP 3= severe inflammation, marked redness and oedema, ulceration, spontaneous bleeding
57
diagnostic features of NUG
- punched out papillae ulcers with creamy pus. bleed readily - painful gums - halitosis
58
types of bacteria in NUG
fusobacterium and spirochetes (eg treponema)
59
7 predisposing factors for periodontal abscess
- perio - calculus remaining in pocket after debridement - penetration of bacteria in to soft tissue wall of perio pocket - recent course of antibiotics (can be non-dental reason) - diabetes mellitus - foreign body impaction - tooth fracture
60
common cause of gingival abscess
foreign body impaction
61
classes of perio-endo lesions
E BEFORE P 1= primary endo lesion draining through PDL 2= primary endo lesion with 2' perio involvement 3= primary perio lesion (reaching apices?) 4= primary perio + endo
62
tx of perio-endo lesions
``` OBVIOUS class 1 --> endo tx/ reassess class 2--> combined tx class 3--> perio tx and reassess class 4 --> combined tx ```
63
tx of perio-endo lesions
``` OBVIOUS class 1 --> endo tx/ reassess class 2--> combined tx class 3--> perio tx and reassess class 4 --> combined tx ```
64
define index
numerical value describing the relative status of the population on a scale with an upper and lower level
65
PRIMARY clinical features of perio 4
``` Perio Causes Big Gums: -Pocketing >4mm -CAL -Bone loss -Gingival inflammation (additional= BoP, mobility, drifting etc) ```
66
mm CAL and associated % bone loss
1-2mm - mild bone loss= 0-25% 3-4mm- mod bone loss= 25-50% >5mm- severe bone loss= >50%
