Gingivitis Flashcards
Microbiological determinants of periodontal health
Supragingival plaque compostion
Subgingival biofilm compostion
Host determinants: Local
Periodontal pockets
Dental restorations
Root Anatomy
Tooth position and crowding
Host Determinants: Systemic (modifying factors)
Host immune function
Systemic health
Genetics
Predisposing Factors
Any Agent or condition that contributes to the accumulation of plaque
Modifying Factors
Any agent or condition that alters the way in which an individual responds to subgingival plaque accumulation
Plaque induced gingivitis is an inflammatory response to the gingival tissues resulting from
Bacterial plaqu accumulation located at and below the gingival margin
Plaque induced gingivitis is a loss of _________ between the biofilm and host immune response and _________
Symbiosis
Development of an incipient dysbisosis
Common clinical changes from health to gingivitis
Color Texture Edema Bleeding Exudate Plaque
Color changes in Gingiva
Normal=Coral pink
Inflamed =Red
(Increased vasculaziation and decreased epithelial keratinzation)
Severely red=Red and cyanotic
(Vascular proliferation and reduction in keratinization + venous stasis)
Gingival Bleeding
With increased inflammation dilation and engorgment of capilairtes or thinking of sulcular epithelium
Healthy Gingiva feels
Firm and resilient
With inflammation Gingiva consistency
Increase in Extracellular fluid and exudate
Degeneration of connective tissue and epithelium
Engorged connective tissue and thinning of epithelium
Chronic inflammation can induce
Fibrosis and epithelial proliferation
Gingiva necrosis
Sloughing with grayish flake like debris
Surface texture
Healthy-dull with stippling
Inflammation-loss of stippling smooth and shiny if exudate change occurs
Firm and Nodular if firbtocic changes occur
Shape of gingiva
Healthy-scalloped with filing interdental spaces
Inflammation-knife edge gingival adaptation or loose gingival margins
In some cases clefts or festoons may develop
Chronic inflammatory response characteristic with
Exudative and proliferative features
Clinically ___lesions with
Deep red lesions with soft friable smooth shiny surface and bleeding tendency
Clinical fibrotic will show as
Firm resilient and pink lesion with abundant fibroblasts and collagen fibers
Characteristics common to all dental plaque induce inflammatory gingival conditions
1 Sings and symptoms limited to gingiva
2 Reversibility of the disease by removing the etiology
3 The presence of high dental plaque
4 Systemic modifying factors which can alters the severity of inflammation
5 stable attachment levels
Systemic modifying factors
Sex steroids Hyperglycemia Leukemia Smoking Malnutrition
Oral factors enhancing plaque accumulation
Prominent subgingival restoration margins
Hyposalivation
Plaque induced gingivitis can be due to
Biofilm
Modifying factors
Drug induced gingival enlargements
Generalized
> 30% of the sites with glial signs of gingival inflammation
Incipient gingivitis
Only a few sites are affected with mild signs of gingival inflammation can be considered gingival health having high risk of developing gingivitis
Reduced periodontist
Following active periodontal treatment and the resolution of inflammation from periodontitis is a common finding
Plaque induced gingivitis on a reduce periodontist is characterized by
The return of bacterially induced inflammation to the gingival margin on a reduced periodontium with no evidence of progressive attachment loss
Primary etiologic factors =
Bacterial plaque
Secondary etiologic always factors =
Local factors
- calculus
- Marginal deficiencies
- Malocculsion
- Tooth/root anomalies
Periodontist starts with
Gingivitis
Gingivitis does not always progress into periodontitis
Plaque induced gingivitis does not directly cause
Tooth loss
Primary preventive strategy for periodontitis
Managing gingivitis
What is the most common for of periodontal disease
Plaque induced gingivitis
Supracrestal attached tissues
.69 mm sulcus depth
.97 epithelial attachment
1.07 connective tissue attachment
Supracrestal attached tissue minimum
3 mm coronal to alveolar crest
3 commonly used drug types that are associated with gingival enlargement
Anticonvulsants
Immunosuppressant
Calcium channel blocking agents
Genetic developmental Disorders
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis
-gingival enlargement
Hereditary gingival Fibromatosis
Diffuse gingival enlargement
May interfere with or prevent tooth eruption, malocclusion
May slow with age; require surgery
Can be a single diseae or a part of a syndrome
Hereditary gingival Fibromatosis possible mechanism
TGF-b1 favor the accumulation of ECM
May be located on chromosomes 2 in human
“Son of sevenless 1”
In. Hereditary gingival Fibromatosis the gingiva
Just keeps growing
Can grow so much start chewing on it
Bacterial origin
Necrotizing periodontal diseases
Necrotizing stomatitis
Ulceration extending from gingival margin including beyond the MGJ
NPD constant flora primarily contains
Treponema app
Selenomonas
Fusobacterium
Prevotella intermedia
NPD initial presentation
Very typical
Start at tip of papilla
White necrotic spot
Should gingivitis cause pain
No
NPD does
Burning
Gingival lesions of bacterial origin predisposing factors
Systemic diseases like ulcerative colitis blood discards
Abnormalities of WBC function
Patients suffering from AIDs
NPD may progress to
Cancrum oris
Noma
Primary hermetic gingivostomatis
herpes simplex virus
Not limited to gingiva
1-2 weeks
Contagious
NPD ulceration are
Yellowish white plaque
PHS ulceration
Multiple vesicles which burst leaving small round fibrin covered ulcers
Is NPD contagious
Nope
Coxsackie virus -hand foot and mouth disease
A common contagious vascular viral diseae affecting skin and oral mucosa including gingiva
Mostly children
herpes Simplex virus
Type 1 and 2
Varicella zoster virus
Herpes ________ usually causes oral manifestations
Simplex 1
