The
number of……………………. increase with increased
levels of sex hormones in puberty
P intermedia Capnocytophaga
The severity of gingivitis is increased during pregnancy in
the 2 nd or
3 rd month and reaches its peak in 8 th month (hormones rise to its
maximum in eight month)
•
There is also a marked reduction in the severity of gingivitis occurs
2
months postpartum (decrease secretion of these hormones), and
after 1 year the condition of the gingiva is normal
•
P. intermedia increase greatly due to
the increased levels of estrogen
& progesterone which substitute menadione (vitamin K); an essential
growth factor. Periodontitis during pregnancy increases the risk for
preeclampsia by 2 2.5 folds.
•
Oral contraceptive pill contains
progesteron
often combined with an estrogen
•
Metronidazole should not be prescribed to
females taking oral contraceptives to
avoid the
risk of drug interaction that can lessen the
contraceptive effect
The gingiva remaining oral mucosa are dry, shiny and
vary in color from abnormal paleness to redness and easy
bleeding, burning sensation & altered taste
senile atrophic
gingivitis
WBCs are involved in
inflammatory reactions
necessary for cellular defense against MO
RBCs are responsible for
gas exchange
nutrient supply to the periodontal tissues
•
Platelets are necessary for
normal hemostasis
as well as recruitment of cells during
inflammation and wound healing
The leukemias are malignant neoplasias of WBCs precursors
characterized by
1.
Replacement of bone marrow with proliferating leukemic cells
(resulting in reduced production of RBCs, WBCs and platelets,
leading to anemia, leukopenia thrombocytopenia,
respectively)
2.
Abnormal numbers forms of immature WBCs in the
circulating blood
3.
Widespread leukemic cells infiltrate in the liver, spleen, lymph
nodes, other body sites
Deep punched out ulcers covered by a white slough can be found
on
the oral mucosa, that occur at sites of trauma such as the buccal
mucosa
blood disorder that results in low levels of
circulating neutrophils
Neutropenia
neutropenic episodes of 1 week duration
every 3 weeks)
cyclic Neutropenia
Agranulocytosis occurs if the counts drop below
500 /mm 3
