Lec 2 - Carmargo 1/14/15 Flashcards
etiology and pathogensis of Periodontal Disease baterial biofilm [plaque] induces inflammation response clincally manifested as ___ and ___
gingivitis
PDitis
waht is the def of PDitis
crhonic inflammatory condition of the teeth and the supportion structures includes:
Attachment loss and bone loss
we must have _____ that caues the host response [inflammation] seen clinically attachment loss and some bone destruction
bioflim
3 certain factors that affect PD?
- cig smoking [behavioral factor bc it can be changed]
- systemic factors [main one is diabetes, people with PD have a harder time controlling blood sugar]
- occlusaion [debatable, if they are bruxers or prematrue contact will accelerate bone destruction]
when you have swelling due to bioflim what direction does the gingival margin move
coronal
why is gingivitis pocket a false pocket and reversible?
pocket is deeper is because the reference point [gingival margin] is coronal and so this is a pseudopocket or false pocket
why dont we like deep pockets?
- has to do with the pts ability to remove the bioflim and keep the bac level low so no clinical disease
- able to scale and rid along the root and remove the bac in clinic as well
how many more times do smokers vs. non smokers have the risk of PD?
4x more likely
the reach of a manual tooth brush is ____ subginvially and power brush is ___ subgingivally
- 5 - 0.9 mm subgingival
- 3 - 1.7 mm subgingival
can i mouth rinse instead of flossing ?
how much does it pentrate the subgingival
no
0.2 mm
S/RP by dentist
if pockets are up to 3 mm deep can we be good at removing plaque ?
beyond 5 mm the ability to remove biofilm and calculus is what % by EVERYONE?
yes good if 3mm
11% [9/10 times leave bioflim will be leaving it behind from S and RPlaning]
an important goal of periodntal therapy is to ___ bc its easier to maintain
reduce the pocket
elimination of pockets
4 ways to reduce/eliminiate pockets?
repair
resection
regeneration
tooth extraction
most deseriable way to reduce or eliminate pocket
regeneration, but has some limitations
PD the disease is where?
ROOT SURFACE DiseasE
even though we are worried about tissue around the tooth, bone loss, and mobilty of the tooth
