Q

5 Theories for how Chronic Periodontal Inflammation may influence systemic health

A

1: Dissemination of periopathogens and antigens into circulatory systems
2: Dissemination of inflammatory mediators and locally activated inflammatory cells from the periodontal tissues to the bloodstream – increasing systemic inflammation
3: Metabolic alterations / endothelial dysfunction / vascular inflammation
4: Systemic diseases resulting in modulation of periodontal microbiome causing increased pathogenicity
5: Trained immunity – the production of hyper-reactive inflammatory cells with enhanced destructive potential

A

Reviewed the literature and discussed how locally primed T cells and myeloid cells migrate to distant sites to cause systemic inflammation
Theory 2

Despite some studies showing that periodontitis treatment improves surrogate markers of systemic conditions, strong evidence that periodontal treatment can decrease the risk of systemic conditions is lacking

Should diabetes-associated perio be a distinct diagnosis?

No - no phenotypic features that are distinct to perio in diabetics
diabetes should be recognized as an important modifying factor and included in a clinical diagnosis of periodontitis as a descriptor (Jepsen et al. 2018 - World Workshop 2017 consensus)

Q

What are possible mechanisms of action for how Periodontitis influences Pre-term low-weight birth?

A
Basically Theories 1 and 2 
Direct mechanism (1): Bacteremia - dissemination of microbes/byproducts through dental induced bacteremia into circulatory system which induce inflammatory response in the fetus/placenta. 
Indirect mechanism (2): enhanced secretion of inflammatory mediators produced in the periodontium impact inflammatory response in fetus/placenta (scarce evidence)

A

Patients that did not adhere to SPT had more stressful life events and poor interpersonal relationships

38
Q

What does Green 1986 say about stress and perio?

A

Stressful events lead to a greater prevalence of periodontal disease

39
Q

How does stress impact periodontal health?

A

Wang & Boyapati 2007

stress stimulates autonomous nervous system - hyper-release of epinephrine by the adrenal medulla - increased release of glucose - altered immunity

40
Q

Genco et al. 1999

A

People who had high financial stress and poor coping ability had

OR 2.24 of severe attachment loss

OR 1.91 of severe alveolar bone loss

41
Q

By what mechanism does obesity impact periodontitis?

A

Adipose tissue produces adipokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Excessive in obese patients

May contribute to disease development

44
Q

Marchesan & Giannobile 2013

A

Pg infection prior to arthritis induction (in mice) increased the immune response and accelerated disease development.

Majority of Pg’s impact was on the innate immune response (monocytes and dendritic cells)

upregulation of Th-17 and subsequent pro-inflammatory cytokines

45
Q

Mercado et al. 2001

A

RA patients had 2x the issues

2x missing teeth

2x more bone loss

2x more 6mm pockets

46
Q

How are RA and Perio related

A

Pathogenesis of RA relies on the citrullination of protines (post-translational modification of arginine residues to citrulline) and the bodies auto-immune respons driven by anti-citrullinated protein antibodies

Pg generates citrullinated proteins which may be distributed systemically through access to the blood stream

47
Q

What is T-Score and Z-Score?

A

Bone density values

T-score compares your results to a healthy young adult 20-35

Z-score compares to same gender/age

48
Q

What T/Z scores are diagnostic?

A

-1.5 to -2.4 = Osteopenia

Less than -2.5 = Osteoporosis

49
Q

Why is the number 2.5 for osteoporosis?

A

2.5x the standard deviation

Standard deviation of 1

50
Q

Article in support of osteoporosis impact on perio? Results?

A

Systematic review and Meta-analysis - greater loss of periodontal attachment vs normal bone density

  • *Osteopenia: 1.7 OR**
  • *Osteoporosis: 3.4 OR**
51
Q

How does age impact disease? Citation

A

Increased attachment loss seen in older individuals is because of prolonged exposure to other risk factors like plaque, smoking, mechanical trauma, brushing, repeated SRP, attrition, etc…
aging alone does not increase disease susceptibility
