Q

what is the random burst model

A

  • bacterial biproducts are released into the periodontal tissues (virulence factos)
  • it develops 2 to 4 days after not brushing or flossing
  • cells of acute inflammation are present
  • there is an increase in GCF flow
  • and the start of a pseudopokcet formation (due to the margin going up coronally)
65

  • degradation of the host tissues (enzymes: collagensae, trypsin-like enzymes, keratinase, phospholipase A)
66
Q

with poor plaque control what do we see

A

stimulation of epithelial cells and fibroblasts to relese IL-* into the CT which attracts and activates PMNS.

PMNS in CT. PMNs are attracted and near the JE and Sulcular epithelium (JE and CT are still intact)

67
Q

stimulation of inflammatory cells to release cytokines into the CT

PMNs are still attracted and near to the JE and SE.

68
Q

  • 4 to 7 days without brushing or flossing
  • acute inflammation persists, there is increased GCF, and pseudopocket formation
  • cells of chronic inflammation appear and then dominate, we see IL-1 and IL-6.

there is a shift from PMNS to t lymph = chronic.

collagen loss continues and MMPs activation begins

71
Q

how is collagen lost?

A
72
Q

what is matrix metalloproteinases

A

MMPs

  • proteases with activity against most, if not all, extracellulat matrix macromolecules

and important sub class of MMP is = interstitial collagenases.

73
Q

histopathology of the early lesion

A
  • loose up to 70% of collagen
  • caused by a combination of bacterial products and host defense system that cause the destruction

PMNs accumulate in gingiva –> in the sulcus –> chronic inflam cells (t cell lesion) accumulate –> chronic predominates –> fibroblsts show cell damage –> rete pegs proleferation of JE into CT.

74
Q

clinical features of an early lesion

A
  1. edema of gingiva
  2. increased GCF flow
  3. loss of gingival stippling
  4. erythema of gingival margin
  5. no migration of JE attachmen t
  6. alveolar bone is normal-no bone loss
  7. reversible
75
Q

what is the establish lesion host defenses

A
  1. inhibit dramatic plaqu growth thus it
  2. prevents infection becoming dramatically worse, but a
  3. stand-off exits since plaque unable to be eliminated and there is a
  4. shift to b-cell/plasma cell lesion
76
Q

what is the established lesion

A
    • acute inflammation persists, after 2-3 weeks it is a stable lesion
      - but chronic inflammation dominates (act b lymph –> plasma cells**)​ b cell lesion which means production of abs
  1. PMN wall tries to contain the infection, micro-ulcerations of pocket epithelium, JE not intact
  2. Bystander damage
  3. Two-edged “sword” of immune system

NO BONE LOSS and JE is still at CEJ

77
Q

established lesion - ds activity

A
  1. 2 processes: damage and repair
  2. a shift to actived b cells to plasma cell lesion
  3. highly vascular
  4. immature CT
78
Q

effect on the ground subtance during established lesion

A
79
Q

when there is a loss of collagen there is

A

decreased rate of synthesis and increased rate of breakdown

(esp during the establish lesion)

80
Q

during the established lesion although there is collagen loss there is also CT repair, how ?

A
  1. attempt to minimze tissue damage
  2. fibroblasts are cytokine regulated
  3. recruitment of new cells like TGF beta, PDGF (cytokine regulated) or chemotatic collagen and elastin fragments
  4. Tissue inhibitors of MMPs = TIMP “the shut down mechanism”
