Intro to Perio Flashcards
What are the Dentist’s LEGAL responsibilities ?
1) Diagnose disease

2) Failure to treat
3) Faulure to refere for Tx
4) Failure to establish and follow an appropriate maintenance schedule
5) Failure to accept treatment (patient)
What is the rational for Tx of Perio disease?
1) Control etiology
2) Control inflammation
3) Control pain & discomfort
4) Restore perio health
5) Maintain long term function of the dentition
6) Regeneration of lost bone & soft tissues
7) Maintain or restore to esthetic level as desired
8) Control local inflammatory response contributes to control of the systemic inflammatory response and promote good general systemic health
What are the gingival diseases?
1) Plaque induced
2) Gingival disease modified by Systemic Factors:
- Endocrine system (puberty, pregnancy, diabetes)
- Blood dycrasias (Leukemia)
3) Gingival diseases modified by Medications:
- Gingival enlargement
What are the Gingival Enlargement Medications?
1) Phenytoin sodium (Dilantin)
2) Cyclosporine (Sandimmune)
3) Ca Channel Blockers (Nifedipine)
What are the non-plaque induced gingival diseases?
1) Bacterial origin: Neisseria gonorrhea, Treponema pallidum, Streptococcal (Beta Hemolytic)
2) Viral: (Herpes I and II) & Varicella-zoster infections
3) Fungal: Candidia albicans, Histoplasmosis, & Linear gingival erythema
What is the gingival disease of genetic origin?
Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis
What are the Mucocutaneous Disorders that are gingival manifestations of systemic conditions?
1) Lichen planus
2) Pemphigoid
3) Erythema Multiforme
4) Lupus Erythematosus
What are the Allergic Reactions that are gingival manifestations of systemic conditions?
1) Nickel
2) Acrylic
3) toothpaste
4) Mouthrinses
5) Chewing Gum Additives
What are the gingival manifestation of systemic conditions?
1) Mucocutaneous disorder
2) Allergic rxn
3) Traumatic lesions
4) Foreign body reactions
What are the 2 types of Chronic Perio?
1) Localized Chronic Perio
Less than 30% of teeth involved (Slight, Moderate, and Severe)
2) Generalized Chronic Perio
More than 30% of teeth involved (Slight, Moderate, and Severe)
What is the MOST COMMON periodontitis?
Generalized Moderate w/ localized severe
What is Aggressive Perio?

2) Generalized Aggressive Perio
What is Perio as a Manifestation of Systemic Disease associated with?
1) Hematological Disorders
2) Associated w/ Genetic Disorders
What are the 2 examples of Hematological disorders
1) Acquired Neutropenia
2) Leukemia
What are the 5 examples of genetic disorders associated with systemic disease?
1) Familial & cyclic neutropenia
2) Down syndrome (Defective neut chemotaxis)
3) Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Syndrome
4) Papillion-Lefcre Syndrome
5) Chediak Higasi syndrome
What is NUG?
Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis
REVERSIBLE and there is NO ATTACHMENT LOSS
What is NUP?
Necrotizing Ulcerative Periodontitis
IRREVERSIBLE and ATTACHMENT loss (w/ punched out papilla)
What is a Periodontal Abscess? What is it caused by?
It is deep into the periodontium caused by,
1) Bacteria due to calculus that is logged
2) Fracture of the root w/ flexing over time (hot & cold)
Fracture will propagate apically & internally
What is a Gingival Abscess? What causes it?
Just damage to gingival tissue caused by food particles or maybe trauma
