Q

periodontal pathogenesis

A
  1. overgrowth of gram + bacteria in susceptible host
  2. leads to inflammation
  3. get gingivitis
  4. the gingival inflammation alters sub gingival microenvironment
  5. this makes the environment favorable for perio pathogens
  6. leads to overgrowth of periodontal pathogens in biofilm which can lead to
    7a. more gingivitis, and able to contain the infection
    or 7b. unable to contain the infection and lead to periodontitis

the inital stage of the development of plaque and length

A

acquired pellicle

27
Q

formation of the pellicle and length

A

  • ~2 hours
28
Q

intial colonization and length

4-8 hours

29
Q

what are the primary colonizers (5)

A

streptococcus

hemophilus

neisseria

actinomyces

veillonella

  • think in primary school we wear vans.*
  • “VANHS”*
30
Q

what are the secondary colonizers

A

prevotella intermidia

capnocytophaga

fusobacterium nucleatum

porphyromonas gingivalis

  • “FnC PiPg”*
31
Q

colonization and maturation and length

A
  • occurs through coaggregation with the secondary colonizers

~4-8 hours

  • maturation occurs through furthur colonization and growth
  • there is quorum sensing to improve conditions of the environment

~12 hours

32
Q

quorum sensing results in

A

bacterial resistance

33
Q

the structure of dental plaque

A
  • open fluid-filled channels runing through plaque mass
  • have a distinct microenvironment produced by matrix
  • steep chemical gradients (oxygen, pH)
34
Q

a patient should brush bid (12 hours apart) becauseee

A

that is about howlong colonization and maturation take so you should brush around every 12 hours to disrup this.

35
Q

nonspecific plaque hypothesis

A
  • all plaque are NOT equally pathogenic

not all gingivitis develops into destructive periodontitis, and there is some site specificity.

36
Q

specific plaque hypothesis

A

the pathogenicity depends on the presence of or increase in specific microorganisms

A.a in localized aggresive periodontitis

  • have targeted treatment strategies.

A

a. actinomicetemcomitans

A. a

38
Q

ecologic plaque hypothesis

A

both the total amount of dental plaque and specific microbial composition is important.

it is based on the mirobial homeostasis and the state of dynamic equilibrium

Q
A
40
Q

do we use kochs postulates or socransky’s criteria for microbiologic specificity
