Microbiology of Periodontal Disease Flashcards
List and define three types of factors that
contribute to periodontal disease.
Local Factors
Systemic Factors
Host Factors
environmental forces that
predispose to inflammatory periodontal
diseases
Local Factors
medical conditions
that predispose to inflammatory
periodontal diseases
Systemic Factors
the influences of one’s
own body
Host Factors
Def: dense, non-mineralized, complex
mass of bacterial colonies living in a gel-
like intermicrobial matrix In addition to bacteria, other
microorganisms live in this mass (ex.
Yeasts, viruses)
Dental Plaque / Bacteria product
Dental Biofilm microcolony surrounded by ____ matrix.
Different sections of the biofilm will be very different- pH, oxygen tension, and nutrients
intermicrobial
Dental Biofilms:
Bacteria in biofilm are NOT distributed evenly
- They cluster together to form a ____ shaped microcolony
- Each microcolony is an independent community containing thousands of compatible bacteria
- Protective extracellular slime-layer- protection from:
1.
2.
3.
mushroom
- Antibiotics
- Antimicrobials
- Body’s immune system
Over 700 types of bacteria in the mouth. Only about __ or so are pathogenic for perio
20
- dense cell wall, stain
purple on crystal violet dye - permeable cell wall, do
not stain
- Gram +
- Gram -
- Oxygen Using
- Cannot tolerate oxygen
- can adjust more flexible
- Aerobic
- Anaerobic
- facultative aerobic, facultative anaerobic:
- stuck where they are
- get around
- non-motile
- motile
- Utilize carbs as food
- utilize proteins as food obtained in part from the tissue destruction they cause
- Saccharolytic
- Asaccarolytic
Gram +
Aerobic
Non-motile
Saccharolytic

4 phases of plaque formation
- Attachment of bacteria to solid surface
- Initial colonization
- Secondary colonization
- Formation of mature biofilm
