lecture 4: periodontal health gingival ds/conditions Flashcards
microscopic features of periodontal health
- gingival epithelium
- gingival CT
parts of gingival epithelium
- oral epithelium
- sulcular epithelium
- junctional epithelium
keratinized or non keratinized:
oral epithelium
sulcular epithelium
junctional epithelium
oral epithelium - keratinized
sulcular epithelium - non-keratinized, semi perm membrane, no rete pegs
junctional epithelium- non-keratinized attached to tooth with hemidesmosomes infiltrate by PMN.
supracrestal tissue attachment size
2.04
JE = 0.97
CTA = 1.07
color of healthy
- coral pink on marginal/attached gingiva
- red smooth shiny on alveolar mucosa
- physiologic pigmentation
size of healthy
- size should correspond with the sum total of the bulk of cellular and intercellular elements and vascular supply
consistency of healthy
- firm and resilient (gingival fibers)
surface texture of healthy
- stippled on the attached gingiva BUT not always a sign of health, only 40% of pts will have it on attached gingiva.
contour of healthy
- scalloped and collar-like fashion
shape of healthy
- pyramidal towards the anterior, flattened towards the posterior
position of healthy
- the level at which the gingival margin is attached to the tooth
- continuous tooth eruption - active and passive eruption - altered passive eruption
definition of gingival health
absence of clinically detectable inflammation
3 determinants to initiate ds
- Microbiological determinants
- host determinants
- environmental determinants
microbiological determinants are
- supragingival plaque
- subgingival plaque
host determinants are
- local predisposing factors
(periodontal pockets, restorations, root anatomy, tooth position and crowding) - systemic modifying factors
(host immune function, systemic health, genetics)
environmental determinants are
- smoking
- medication
- stress
- nutrition and lack of vitamins
indicators for perio/gingival ds
- BOP
- Peridontal probing
- Radiographic features
- Tooth mobility
which is a reliable sign of ds for indicators
BOP
indicators - radiographic features
- if there is a well defined lamina dura = sign of healthy periodontium
- but if do not have, and this is the only sign it could be an xray prob
clinical features of intact periodontium
- no clinical attachment loss or bone loss
- inflammation is minimum <10%
- PD within 3mm
- no erythema and edema
- physiological bone levels range from 1-3mm (avg 2mm) apical to the CEJ
clinical feature of a reduced periodontium
- BOP more than 10%
- PD within 3mm
- no edema, erythema and pt symptoms in the presence of reduced clinical attachment and bone levels
two types of gingivitis
- dental plaque-induced gingival ds
- non-plaque-induced gingivial ds
how does smoking play a role in clinical findings of gingivitis
- smoking masks BOP by suppressing inflammatory response
clinical findings of gingival features pale color means what
reduced vascularization or increased keratinization
clinical findings of gingival features coral pink color means what
normal
clinical findings of gingival features red to blueish red color means what
- inflammation intensity
- red or blueish red: vascular proliferation or reduced keratinization
clinical findings of gingival features gray color means what
tissue necrosis
chronic forms of consistency change in clinical findings
- soggy puffiness
- softness and friability
- firm, leathery consistency
acute forms of consistency change in clinical findings
- sloughing with grayish, desquamative debris
- vesicle formation
if the surface texture is smooth shiny, then what is the indication
epithelial atrophy in atrophic gingivitis
if the surface texture is peeling, then what is the indication
chronic desquamative gingivitis
if the surface texture is leathery, then what is the indication
hyperkeratosis
if the surface texture is nodular, then what is the indication
drug-induced gingival overgrowth (like with high bp meds and Ca2+ blockers)
two types of recession
- visible and hidden
visible recession
is clinically observable and you have an exposed root
a hidden recession
is covered by gingiva, can be measured by probing to the level of epithelial attachment
two types of position of gingiva
apparent and actual
