lecture 2: etiology Flashcards
what are the 3 components that lead to the development of periodontal disease
- environmental factors
- microbial factors
- host factos
smoking makes the environment __ favorable to periodontal ds
more
periodontal pathogenesis
- overgrowth of gram + bacteria in susceptible host
- leads to inflammation
- get gingivitis
- the gingival inflammation alters sub gingival microenvironment
- this makes the environment favorable for perio pathogens
- 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 structurally and functionally organized, species-rich microbial biofilms that form on teeth
dental plaque
what is materia alba
- white cheeselike accumulation
- soft accumulation of salivary proteins, bacteria, desquamated epithelial cells and food debris
- not organized
- easily displaced with water
what is dental plaque
- resilient clear to yellow/gray color
- mostly made of bacteria in a matrix of salivary glycoproteins and bacterial products
- a biofilm
- impossible to remove with water
- use disclosing agent to see plaque
what is calculus
- mineralized dental plaque forms the hard deposit
- generally covered by a layer of unmineralized dental plaque
what is the composition of dental plaque
70% water
30% Microorganisms (70% of the 30)
and intracellular matrix
what do we see here
materia alba
what do we see here
calculus
organic components of the intracellular matrix
polysaccharides
proteins
glycoproteins
lipids
inorganic component of the intracellular matrix
CALCIUM PHOSPHOROUS
other minerals like sodium, potasisum and fluoride
sites of accumulation of dental plaque
- gingival thirds
- cracks, pits and fissures
- under overhanging restorations
- around malaligned teeth
dental plaque classification are based on ..
the position on the tooth surface towards the gingival margin
supragingival, marginal and subgingival plaque
tooth attached plaque, unattached plaque and epithelial associated plaque are
subgingival plaque
supragingival plaque is made up of what rods
gram + cocci and short rods
subgingival plaque is made up of
gram - rods and spirochete
once calculus is forming and we have root caries this is what type of plaque
supragingival plaque
direct contact with gingival margin, initiation and development of gingivitis is what type of plaque
marginal plaque
once there is tissue destruction what type of plaque is there
subgingival plaque
the 3 steps of the formation of dental plaque
- formation of the pellicle
- initial colonization of bacteria
- secondary colonizers and plaque maturation
step 1: formation of the pellicle
- the pellicle is formed
- transport - passive
- REVERSIBLE attachment to the pellicle
step 2: initial colonization of bacteria
- the adhesin receptor binds which is IRREVERSIBLE and specific
- co adhesion ocurs with secondary colonizers
step 3: secondary colonization and plaque maturation
attracts more bacteria
an organic material layer coated on all surfaces in the oral cavity, including hard and soft tissues
acquired pellicle.
