Module 8 exam 2 Flashcards
What is a gingival disease?
usually involves the inflammation of the gingival tissues, most often the response to plaque biofilm
What are the two major subdivisions of gingival diseases?
plaque induced, non-plaque induced
what are the sub categories of plaque induced gingivitis?
- plaque induced either on a periodontium with no attachment loss or on a reduced but stable periodontium
- gingival diseases modifed by systemic factors
- gingival diseases modified by medications
- gingival diseases modified by malnutrition
what are the sub categories of non plaque induced gingivitis?
- gingival diseases of specific bacteria origin
- gingival diseases of viral origin
- gingival diseases of fungal origin
- gingival diseases of genetic origin
- gingival manifestations of systemic conditions
- traumatic leisons
- foreign body reaction
What are dental plaque induced gingival diseases?
perio diseases involving inflammation of the gingiva in response to dental plaque biofilm
What is the most common type of periodontal disease?
gingivitis associated with dental plaque biofilm
Inflammation is ___ intense in children as it is for young adults with the same quantity of biofilm
not
What are clinical signs of gingivitis associated with dental plaque biofilm only?
- changes in gingival contour, color and consistency
- erythema, swelling, bleeding and tenderness
- begins at gingival margin and is charaterized by red, swollen, tender gums that bleed easily
what is acute gingivitis?
gingivitis of short duration, after which professional care adn patient self care returs the gingiva to healthy state
what is chronic gingivitis?
long lasting gingivitis, may exist for years without ever progressing to periodontitis
what are the 3 main categories of plaque associated gingival diseases with modifying factors?
- gingival disease modified by systemic factors
- gingival diseases modified by medications
- gingival diseases modified by malnutirition
What happens in gingival disease modified by systemic factors?
plaque biofilm initiates the disease, then systemic factors found in the host will modify the disease process
In gingival diseases (systemic) associated with the endocrine system and fluctuations in sex hormones what occurs
changes in levels result in an exaggerated response to the presence of bacterial plaque biofilm
how will gingival tissues appear in changes in endocrine or sex hormones?
bright red, with soft, friable, smooth and may bleed with slight provocation
What is puberty assoicated gingivitis?
inflamatory response of the gingiva to a small amount of dental plaque biofilm
what are clincal features of puberty associated gingivitis?
inflamed gingiva, with prominent bulbous papillae on teh facial aspect
what is menstrual cycle associated gingivits?
exaggerated inflammatory response of the gingiva to biofilm and hormones before ovulation
what is oral contraceptive associated gingivitis?
exaggerated inflammatory response of the gingiva to biofilm adn high-dose oral contraceptives
Who do you usually see oral-contraceptive associated gingivits?
pts taking high dose contraceptives, these may effect perio attachment levels
what is pregnancy associated gingivitis?
exaggerated inflammatory response of the gingiva to dental plaque biofilm and hormone changes usually occuring during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy
what is the clinical appearance of pregnancy associated gingivitis?
edematous, red, with bulbous interdental papillae
what is a pregnancy associated pyogenic granuloma?
localized mushroom shaped gingival mass projecting from the gingival margin or more commonly from the gingival papilla during pregnancy, occuring after ther first trimester as an exaggerated response to biofilm
what is diabetes associated gingivitis
an inflammatory response of the gingiva to dental biofilm that is aggravated by poorly controlled blood glucose levels
When is diabetes associated gingivitis most commonly seen?
-children with type 1 diabetes
What can be seen in diabetic patients with the reduction of diabetes associated gingivitis?
they may beable to reduce the amount of insulin needed to control blood glucose levels with reduction in gingival inflammation
What is an example of a gingival disease associated with blood dyscrasis
leukemia associated gingivitis, blood dyscrasias associated gingivitis
what is leukemia associated gingivitis
exaggerated inflammatory resposne of the gingiva to plaque biofilm resulting in incrased beeding and tissue enlargement
Why are health care providers sometimes the first to detect leukemia?
because oral leisons are the first clinical signs of leukemia
what is the clinical appearance in leukemia associated gingivitis?
gingival tissues are swollen, spongy, shiny, red to deep purple color, tissues are very friable, hemorrhage easily,
