Host Responces Flashcards
what are the cells involved in bone loss?
- Osteoclost
- Osteoblast
- fibroblasts
- Macrophage.
what is the function of Osteoclasts?
bone resorbing.
what is the function of osteoblast?
bone forming
what is thefunction of fibroblasts?
form and maintain collagenous matrix.
what is the function of macrophages?
active member of the tissues defense.
what do monocytes form one they have fused together?
osteoclasts.
what growth factors control monocytes?
RANKL
what cells produce RANKL?
Osteoblasts.
how does RANKL bind to a monocyte?
binds to a specific receptor on the monocyte membrane.
how do osteoclasts degrade bone?
through pumping protons (H) ito the adjacent bone to dissolve mineral and then potent enzymes (Cathepsin K) to break down bone matrix,
what is the function of Cathepsin K?
to break down bone matrix.
what is meat when the bone is dynamic?
it responds to changes in loading - so that the ratio of bone formation / removal is dependent on the applied stress.
what is bone removal/ formation dependent on?
the applied stress.
what cells mediate bone removal/formation? and how?
osteoblasts.
via the production of RANKL.
How is stress in bone detected? (both directly and indirectly)
directly = by osteocytes and osteoblasts detecting it mechanically
indirectly - macrophages which respond to loading by producing cytokines (IL-1)
what does the production of IL-1 increase?
increases the production of RANKL by osteoblasts.
what exogenous plaque bacterial derived materials can cause bone destruction?
lipo-polysaccharide LPD.
What are the effects of plaque to bone loss?
- LPD (plaque bacteria derived materials) act on osteoblasts - increasing production of RANKL.
- LPD causes macrophages to increase IL-1 production.
what are the effects of IL-1 increase to bone loss?
- triggers fibroblasts to produce IL-1
- stimulates fibroblasts to produce IL-6
- acts on fibroblasts to produce collagenase
- act on osteoclasts to up-regulate Cathespisin K production.
what are the effects of IL-6 in bone loss?
increases the effectiveness of RANKL.
what are the effects of Cathepsin K production in bone loss?
increases the effectiveness of individual cells in degrading bone matrix
what are some examples of local factors in perio disease?
- anatomical factors (morphology, PRS, enamel pearls etc)
- Pt habits (mouth breathing, smoking)
- latrogenic factors (ortho appliances +denture, restorations)
- microbiological factors (colonisation of crevice+root surface.)
- pre-existing deposits and disease.
what are some examples of systemic factors in perio disease?
- environmental factors + metabolic factors (drugs, gingival overgrowth, sex hormones, diabetes)
- Genetic /inherited factors (down symdrime, papillon lefevre sysdrom, hypophatasia, ehlers-Danlos syndrome)
- Behavioural (smoking)
- Lifestyle (stress)
- Haemoatological (Chediak-Higashi, Neutropenia, Leukaemia)
what effects can having diabetes cause in regards to perio disease?
- increase susceptibility to perio disease - related to level of glucose control.
- decreased neutrophil function
- decreased collagen synthesis
- increased collagenolytic activity
- increase periodontal pathogens in sub-gingival biofilm
Perio disease can also effect diabetic control.
what are the effects of down syndrome in regards to perio disease?
- increase susceptibility due to defect of neutrophil chemotoxis.
- Oh is poor and they tend to be mouth breathers.
what are the effects of Papillon Lefevre syndrime in regards to perio disease?
- defect of neutrophil chemotaxis and phagocytosis.
- rapid perio destruction.
what are the effects of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in regards to perio disease?
- disorder of collagen formation.
- Type 8 associated with severe perio distruction
- hyperextensible skin etc
wwhat are the effects of hypophatasia in regards to perio disease?
- low levels of enzyme alkaline phosphatase
- defective mineralisation and formation of cementum
- teeth exfoliate and get rickets.
what are the effects of smoking in regards to perio disease?
- result in fibrotic gingivae with rolled margins
- increase pockets / recession anteriorly, bone loss, calculus, furcation.
- decrease in gingival bleeding and BOP.
- effects composition of bacterial flors, increasing cytokine release and so increasing the destruction of matrix.
what are the effects of stress in regards to perio disease?
- depresses immune system.
how does an individual get chediak-Higashi?
through genetics.
what are the effects in the mouth of acute leukaemias?
- slightly like gingival overgrowth.
- gingival swelling, excessive random bleeding, and gngival ulcerations.
what age group is most likely to be effects by Actue leukaemias?
under 20’s - often children.
what age group is most likely to be effects by chronic leukaemias?
older age groups.
what are the 3 histopathological stages of gingivitis?
- Initial
- Early
- Established.
what are the initial features of plaque-induced gingivitis?
- inflammation begins 24/48 hours after plaque accumulation begins.
what are the effects of inflammation during initial gingivitis?
causes vasodilation of tissues and causes an increas
how soon after plaque accumulation starts does inflammation begin?
24/48 hours.
what happens after approx 1 week after plaque accumulation?
- increase inflammatory infiltrate
- increase lymphocytes/ macrophages/ neutrophil migration.
- fibroblasts start to show sign s if cell damage.
- early loss of gingival collagen
- gingival swelling, resulting in deepening of the gingival crevis.
- rete peg proliferation
