microorganisms associated with gingivitis
actinomycetes
prevotella intermedia
microorganisms associated with periodontitis
porphyromonas ginigvalis
tannerella forsythia
prevotella intermedia
what type bacteria is porphyromonas ginigvalis
gram neg anaerobe
3 virulence factors of porphyromonas gingivalis
fimbrae - adherence
endotoxin
gingipains
2 systemic implications of periodontal disease
cardiovascular disease
diabetes
disadvantage of culture methods
only small numbers of samples can be analysed at once
advantage of DNA probes
more sensitive than culture
which gene is found in all bacteria

guanine
4 bases found in RNA molecule
adenine
cytosine
uracil
guanine
3 risk factors for developing candidiasis
immune compromised
immunosuppressive drugs
diabetes
4 oral candidosis
pseudomembranous - thrush
erythematous - HIV and denture
hyperplastic
