Lecture 3 Flashcards
Number of types of periodontitis:
100+
Pyognic granuloma is aka:
pregnancy tumor, in response to hormonal alterations
Gingival hyperplasia can be caused by:
dilatin (seizure disorder), calcium channel blockers (heart disease or blood pressure)
What type of infection is a candidal infection?
yeast infection
White slougines on keratinized tissue is caused by:
any of sever autoimmune diseases
Periodontal disesase catergories:
gingival and periodontitis diseases
Most common form of gingivitis:
PAG (plaque associated gingivitis), associated with systemic factors or medications
gingivitis that is not associated with plaque accumulation
treponema pallidum, viral infections, fungal infections, allergies, chemical injuries, heat injuries
Genetic diseases that can manifest as perioditis
Downs, Papilloma fevera, Shediaca Gashi

leukemia
necrotizing periodontitis:
NUG, NUP
there are about __ gingival diseases.

Difference between gingivitis and periodontitis:
periodontitis doesn’t affect only the gingiva, it also includes ct attachment and the alveolar bone
True or False? Gingivitis is always associated with loss of ct attachment.
F. (not associated with alveolar bone loss either)
Most common form of periodontitis:
(PAG) plaque associated gingivitis
What are the classic signs of inflammation?
redness, swelling, pain, loss of function
What color should healthy gingiva be?
coral pink
Clinical features of plaque associated gingivitis:
Redness, swelling, loss of tissue tone, increasing sulcus depth (gingival/ pseudo pocket), blow air and tissue will move away from tooth
Which type of pocket normally accumulates in gingivitis?
pseudopocket
Appearance of swollen gingiva:
glassy
Signs of mild gingivitis:
redness around papilla, slight swelling, slight loss of stippling, shiny appearance (not like orange peel), slight BOP
Why does stippling disappear in gingivitis?
gingival fibers are lost
Moderate gingivitis:
darker red, entire gingival margin is swollen, no stippling, BOP
True or False? Collagen is lost in mild gingivitis.
T. Collagen, not ct
What causes the increased red coloration of the gingival tissues in gingivitis?
capillary dilation
Blood vessels dilate in gingivitis in response to:
bacteria and plaque
