Immunology Flashcards
– Plaque-induced
– Inflammation (edema/bleeding upon probing)
– No destruction of PDL and bone
– No apical migration of epithelial attachment
Epithelial attachment = Junctional epithelium
Gingivitis
–Plaque-induced –Inflammation (edema/bleeding upon probing) –Destruction of bone –Apical migration of epithelial attachment –Not all cases of gingivitis progress to periodontitis
Periodontitis
- Plaque-induced similar to gingivitis.
- Host-related (susceptible host).
- Each site is individualized or a specific
environment. - A % of affected population experiences
severe destruction. - The progression of the disease is
probably
Periodontitis
______ model (1940-1960’s) of periodontitis
– Progressive loss over time of some sites
– No destruction in others
– Time of onset and extent vary among sites
– (i.e. Periodontal disease affects mainly
posterior teeth.)
- gingival col
Progressive
________ model (1980-2000’s) of periodontitis
– Activity occurs at random at any site
– Some sites show no activity
– Some sites have one or more bursts of activity
– Cumulative extent of destruction varies
among sites
– (i.e. Periodontitis is different in various
sites in the same individual and it is
difficult to predict attachment loss.)
Random burst
________ model of periodontitis
(1980-2000’s)
– Several sites have one or more bursts of
activity during one period of life
– Prolonged period of inactivity; remission
– Cumulative extent of destruction varies
among sites
– Some sites don’t develop attachment loss
– (asynchronous=not occurring at same time)
– Bursts due to Risk Factors
Asynchronous multiple burst
What are the least common teeth lost to periodontitis?
Mand canine and 1st PM
What is the most commonly lost tooth to perio disease?
Max 2nd molars
2nd: 1st max molar
What are the 5 signs of inflammation?
- Rubor (redness)
- Calor (heat)
- Dolor (pain)
- Tumor (swelling)
- Functio Laesa (loss of function)
Inflammation is a ____ phenomenon
vascular
do blood vessels dilate or constrict due to inflammation?
Dilate
What are the first cells to defense in inflammation?
PMNs
Monocytes/macrophages
(phagocytosis)
What are the mediators of 2ndary defense?
B and T cells
Plasma cells produce antibodies
– Activated B-cells become Plasma cells
– Plasma cells produce immunoglobulins
B lymphocytes
– developed in the thymus
– several functions (antigen presentation)
– help B-cells divide; can destroy virally infected cells;
can down-regulate immune response
T lymphocytes
(TH0/TH1/TH2)
• help B cells to divide
• control leukocyte development
• activate innate cell lining
• CD 4 - MHC class II molecules – T helper cells
- MHC class I molecules
– T cytotoxic
• destroy virally infected target cells
• CD 8
phagocytosis; produce lysosomal enzymes
PMNs:
phagocytosis; process antigens;
cytokine secretion
Macrophages:
• Plasma cells: produce antibodies
B-Lymphocytes
: first responder; largest in size
IgM
: second responder; most abundant; crosses
placenta
IgG
salivary IgA; a dimer
IgA:
