Local Contributory Risk factors Flashcards
Why do these risks leads to more disease ?
- increase biofilm retention
- increase biofilm pathogenicity
- Inflict direct damage to periodontium
What are the major etiologic factors of Plaque Biofilm
- Development of dental caries
- Initiation and progression of periodontal disease etiologic factors
- Contains bacteria which is detrimental to tissue
What are the 2017 classification of periodontal diseases?
- Periodontal health, gingival disease and conditions
- Periodontal manifestations of systemic diseases and developmental and acquired conditions: trauma occlusal force
What are naturally occuring contributing factors?
Classification: periodontal health givingival diseases and conditions
Category: Gingivitis-dental biofilm-induced
Subcategory: local risk factors
What is the most important local contributing factor?
dental calulus
What is dental calculus?
- Secondary risk factor for periodontal disease
- Most important local contributing factor
- Significant role in pathogenesis of periodontal disease
- irritant to gingival/sulcuar tissue
- Biofil retentive
- Reservoir for bacteria and toxins
- Interferes with self cleansing
- mineralized substances
- Covered on external surfaces by nonmineralized living biofilm
What are the locations of deposits?
Supragingival
Subgingival
Where does supragingival calculus forms?
- Form on clinical crowns, restorations, prothesis or exposed roots
- Site specific: salivary ducts
- Crowded teeth or malcocculsion
- Localized distribution
What are the mineral of supra calculus derive from?
Saliva
What is the formation time?
Varies by individuals
Content of saliva
Ability to remove biofilm
When does mineralization process begins in supragingival calculus?
48hrs to 14 days
Supragingival calculus is?
Yellow-white and formation occurs in incremental layers
What is percent of supragingival calculus is mineralized?
30%
What is the composition of suprgingival calculus?
Inorganic
* makes up 70-90%
* primarily calcium phosphate
* Similar to inorganic bone components
**Organic **
* Make up 10-3-%
* bacterial colonies, proteins and cells
* carbohydrate and lipids from bacteria and saliva
* dead epithelial cells and white blood cells
The inorganic component of supragingival calculus changes through?
Different Crystalline forms
What are the different types of crystalline forms?
- Newly formed- brushite
- Less than 6mon- octocalcium phosphate whitlockite.
- Matured- hydroxyapaptite
What are the modes of attachement for supragingival calculus?
- Pellicle surface
- Occurs on enamel
- not interlocing to tooth
- easy to remove deposits
What is Subgingival calculus?
- Not site specific
- Evenly distributed
- Needs explorer and radiographs to detect
- Forms slower
Where does the subgingival calculus mineral components comes from?
Gingival crevicular fluid
(GCF)
Describe subgingival calculus.
- Dark green to gray to black (bacterial or heme pigment)
- Shaped guided by pressure of pocket wall
- Rings, ledges or veneers
What percentage of Subgingival Calculus is mineralized?
60%
What are the composition of subgingival calculus?
Inorganic
* more minerals
* Calcium Magnesium, floride
* Crystal of hydroxyapatite, brushite, whitlockite
* Sodium amount increase with pocket depth
**Organic **
* No salivary proteins
* Bacterial cells mineralized and within channels
* attached biofilm
* Epithelial cells from pocket wall
* WBC (exudate)
What are the modes of attachment for subgingival calculus?
- Pellicle
- Mechanical lock into cemental irregularities
- Cracks, openings from PDL fibers, grooves from over instrumentation
- Tenacious
- Diffiult removal
If subgingival calculus is covered by biofilm, then bioflim it is associted with
Greater disease progession than biofilm alone
What percentage of radiographs shows visible calculus detection?
only 45%
What are the anticalculus agents?
Pyrophosphates
