Immunopathology of gingivitis, periodontists and host immunity Flashcards
Specific plaque hypothesis
- Plaque bacteria not equally pahtogenic
- certian bacteria in plaque are respopnisble for destructive periodontitis
pathogens inmplicated in periodontitis
(gram-negative anaerobic)
- porphyromonas gingivalis
- prevotella intermedia
- bacteroides forsythus
- campylobacter restus
pathogens implicated in periodontitis
(gram-negative facultative)
- actinobacilus actinomycetemcomitans (Aa)
(implicated in aggressive periodontitis)
is plaque sufficient to develop periodontitis
necessary bu not sufficient
what is the principal cause of initial inflammatory lesion leading to ginigivitis
bacteria
what dictates uncontrolled inflammatory immune response driving the tissue destruction and periodontitis ?
the host response
(not the type of bacteria)
ginigivitis is concdered a _____ to non-specific accumulation of ____
non-specific reaction, plaque
is bacteria the major determinate of the progression of ginigivitis to periodontitis
nope, despite universal presence of plaque
what is responisble for initiation of ginigivitis lesions?
host-parasite interaction
bacteria respnisble for progresson to advanced periodonitis?
no definitive evidence
ecological plaue hypothesis
- subginival environment dictates/selects specific microbial composotion (drives health or disease)
- accumulation of plaque triggers inflammatory host response
- favors growth of gram - bacteria
what factors promote a good dingival health ?
- plaque reduction
- decreased inflammation
- low GCF flow
- higher eh
- mainly gram + faculative anaerobes
what is the only etiology of periodontal disease ?
Bacrerial plaque
Role of bacterial plaque
colonization of subgingical regions be specic groups of organisms
(attach above and bellow the ginigival margin, need it to initiate disease)
direct effects of periodontal disease
- invasion
- release of exotoxins
- cell constituents
- enzymes (proteases)
indirect effects of periodontal diseases onss
- immunological and other host responses (destructive)
- loss of periodontal tissue
- gingiva
- periodontal ligament
- alveolar bone
periodontitis is an
inflammation-based infection of the supporting supporting structures of the teeth
two forms of periodontits occurs
- chronic periodontitis
- aggressive periodontitis
periodontitis modified by systemic Diseases
- Chronic periodontitis
- aggressive periodontitis
- periodontitis modified by systemic diseases
less common types of periodintitis
manifestation of systemic diseases
necrotizing peridontitis
which is the most commone periodontitis in adults?
chronic
chronic perioditis features
- can be localized or generalized
- red or purpleish tissue
- loss of attachment and bone
which disease has severity consistent with amount of plaque?
chronic periodontitis
(variable microbiota)
which disease is the plaqye not consitant with severity of the diease ?
aggressive periodontitis
aggressive periodontitis progression of the disease?
tissue destruction in rapid
(whereas chronic progression is moderate)
Most common baccteria associated with aggressive periodontitis
g(-) Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomintans (Aa)
In aggressive periodontitis there is an abnormality in
PMN function and hyperresponsive macrophages
what is secreted in aggressive periodontisis ?
- prostaglandins
- IL-1ß
What are the two forms of aggressive periodontitis ?
- Localized Aggressive Periodontitis (LAP)
- strong Ab respnose
- Generalized Aggressive periodontitis (GAP)
- poor Ab response
which form of periodontitis has a strong Ab response
which form of periodontitis has a weak Ab response
Localized aggressive periodontitis
generalized aggressive periodontitis
Localized aggressive periodontitis associated with ?
actinobacillus actinomycetemocomitas (Aa)
localized aggressive periodontitis is associtaed with abnormal
Neutrophil function
where is dectrction usuallt found in localized aggressive periodontitis?
around first molars and incisors
(preveriosly known as localized juvenile periodontitis)
