histopathology Flashcards
what are the 4 stages of histopathology of tissue?
initial lesion
early lesion
established lesion
advanced lesion
what happens at the initial lesion clinical picture?
24 hours of plaque accumulation
blood flow stops neutrophils monocytes marginate to the tissue
Clinically crevicular fluid increases
what happens at the Early lesion?
7 - 14 days plaque accumulation,
changes in fibroblasts and collagen content reduced. Redness and oedema clinically detectable as early chronic gingivitis.
Aetiology is collagenage
what happens at established lesion clinically ?
Gingival crevice deepens as increase of sub gingival plaque
JE is hyper plastic and ulcerated
Aetiology hylaronodase
large number of plasma cells present
Clinically chronic gingivitis or early periodontitis
what happens at advanced lesion?
JE migrates forming periodontal pockets and the lesion extends to the perio ligament and alveolar bone.
Clinically, chronic periodontitis.
