lecture 3: initiall, early, established and advanced lesions. Flashcards
definition of gingivitis
- plaque induced
- INFLAMMATION (edema, BOP)
- no destruction of PDL and bone
- no apical migration of epithelial attachment
if there is epithelial attachment what does that mean
the junctional epithelium is at CEJ
definition of periodontitis
- plaque-induced
- host related
- INFLAMMATION (edema and BOP)
- destruction of bone
- NOT ALL cases of gingivitis progress to periodontitis.
- this is irreversible only maintain, tx and control
what determines whether gingivitis becomes periodontitis
host response
what is the continuous model
that it is continuous throughout life at same rate of loss
what is the progressive model
- progressive loss over time of some sites
- no destruction in others
- time of onset and extent vary among sites
- periodontal ds affects mainly post teeth
what is the random burst model
- activity occurs at random at any site
- some sites show no activity
- some sites have one or more bursts of activity
- cumulative extent of destruction varies among sites
- periodontitis is different among various spots and it is hard to predict attachment loss
this type of bone loss can be due to

lack of access
seen in distal areas of bone loss.
which are the least likely teeth to loose due to periodontal ds
mand C and PM
what is the most common lost tooth due to periodontal ds
mx 2M
what is a secondary etiological factor of periodontal ds
an open contact
signs of inflammation
rubor
calor
dolor - not really unless they have an abscess
tumor
functio laesa (loss of function) ** misisng of tooth, increase mobility, loss of attachment
inflammation is what type of phenomenon
vascular
the process of inflammation
- leukocyte migration
- vasculitis the biggest change you see
- dilation
- venous stasis (congestion)
- increased permeability
- like transudate and exudate
- why does it do this? to bring immune mediators
what is the first defense
innate immunity
what is the innate immunity
- the first defense system
non-adaptive and genetic
includes PMNs and monocytes/macrophages (WBC)
kill through phagocytosis
how does the innate system kill by
what is the second defense system
adaptive immunity
what is adaptive immunity
- the second defense system
its v specific
uses B and T cells
Plasma cells produce specific ab to individual antigens
done through production of immunoglobulins by antibodies
adaptive immune system produces
immunoglobulins by antibodies
B lymphocytes are:
- activated b-cells that become plasma cells
- plasma cells that produce immunoglobulins
t lymphocytes are:
- developed in the thymus
- several functions (antigen presentation)
- help B-cells divide; can destroy virally infected cells; can down-regulate immune response
two major forms of T cells
CD4 and CD8
MHC Class II molecules is what
- CD4
- T helper celss
- they help B cells to divide
- Controls leukocyte development
- activates innate cell lining
