microbiology Flashcards
pellicle
protect enamel from acidic activity
14-21 days of bacteria
gingivitis is visible
innocuois
bacteria that is not harmful
gram negative, motile and anaerobic
bad
gram positive
purple
single cell wall
release exotoxin
gram negative
red
double cell
release endotoxin and exotoxin
aerobic
requires oxygen
anaerobic
cannot survive in the presence of oxygen
facultative anaerobi
can survive with or without oxygen
3 components are needed for the formation of caries
bacterial
tooth structure
fermentable cabohydrate
the most cariogenic
monosaccharides
disaccharides
responsible for caries formation
strep mutans
lactobacillus
found in deep caries lesion
gram positive rods
streptococcus and lactobacillus
produce acid
survive in low pH environment
the pH in oral DROPS after eating cariogenic food
toothpaste pH
9
enamel pH demineralization
5.5
root pH deinralization
6.2-6.7
normal pH of mouth
6.7-7
cheese
after acidic food helps raise pH
supra biofilm
streptococci
actinomyces
lactoballicus
yeast
filamentous bacteria
sub biofilm
actinomyces
T.forsythia
F.nucleatum
P.gingivalis
P.intermedia
P.endodontalis
P.negrescent
HPV : thru sexual contact
cause oropharyngeal cancer
VZV
chickenpox (varicella)
shingles (zoster)
EBV
oral hairy leukoplakia
trep pallidum
syphyllis
bordetella pertussis
whopping cough
measles virus
cause rubeola
group A step
scarlet fever
impetigo
first line
phagocytes
mast cell
release histamine to vasodilate the blood vessel
phagocytes
cells that can ingest and digest microorganism
PMNs neutrophils
1st line of defense against microorganism
most prevalent cells in acute inflammation
macrophages (monocytes)
most numerous cell in chronic inflammation
B lymphocytes
secrete antibodies
igG
most common antibody
igA
provide protection from microorganism
found in saliva, tears,…
igM
first type of antibody make it to the infection
stimulate the production of IgG
igE
allergic reaction
igD
recognize antigen
cytokines
transmit the signal to the immune system to send phagocytic
Collagenese
destroy connective tissue
class symptoms of inflammation
heat
redness
swelling
pain
loss of function
chemotaxis
the movement of cell to the site of inflammation
