Gingivitis Flashcards
On what 2 basis we can classify gingivitis ?
1.course based classification
1.Distribution based classification
Whats course based classification of gingivitis?
1.Acute gingivitis
2.Chronic Gingivitis
Whats distribution based classification of gingivitis?
1.Localized (Papillary,marginal,diffused)
2.Generalized (Papillary,marginal,diffused)
Explain LOCALIZED DIFFUSE GINGIVITIS
Extends from margin to the mucobuccal fold but is limited in area.
GENERALIZED MARGINAL GINGIVITIS
- Involves gingival margins in relation to all teeth
T/F * The interdental papillae are usually affected in generalized marginal gingivitis
True
This May be caused by systemic conditions.
Generalized diffused gingivitis
Stages of gingivitis?
1.Initial Lesion
2.Early Lesion
3.Established Lesion
4.Advanced Lesion
Erythema and bleeding on probing occurs in which stage of gingivitis?
Early Lesion
Duration of stages of gingivitis
Initial 2-4, Early 4-7, Advanced 14-21
Predominant cells in initial early and advanced lesions respectively are?
PMNS, Lymphocytes, Plasma Cells
Vasculitis occurs in which stage of gingivitis?
Initial
Clinically lesion is not visible so called sub clinically gingivitis.
Stage 1 Gingivitis Initial lesion
Chronic gingivitis which occurs ………of disease
2 to 3 week
Advanced Lesion
It involve alveolar bone involvement called phase of periodontal breakdown.
Gingival contour normally is knife edge , in gingivitis its become
round or blunt
T/F Loss of surface stippling is an early sign of gingivitis.
T
In chronic inflammation the surface is either smooth and shiny or nodular
depends on whether the dominant changes are exudative or fibrotic
Redness, edema, but no bleeding on probing indicates
Mild gingivitis
Redness, edema, and bleeding on probing
Moderate Gingivitis
Redness, edema, and spontaneous bleeding
Severe gingivitis
Not all sites of gingivitis progress to…..
periodontitis
All patients with chronic periodontitis must have suffered prior
Gingivitis
The dental implant conterpart of gingivitis is
perimucositis
The dental implant counterpart of periodontitis is
peri implantitis
