Module 9 exam 2 Flashcards
what are the 3 major categories of periodontitis?
- chronic periodontitis
- aggressive periodontitis
- less common types of periodontitis
what are the two types of chronic periodontitis?
localized, generalized
what are the two types of aggressive periodontitis?
localized, generalized
what are the less common types of periodontitis?
periodontits as a mantifestation of systemic diseases, nectroizing perio diseases, perio associated with endodontic leisons
What is chronic periodontitis?
is a bacterial infection resulting in inflammation within the supporting tissues of the teeth, progressive destruction of the perio ligament, and loss of supporting alveolar bone
What does chronic perio start as?
plaque-induced gingivitis
What does chronic periodontitis involve
irreversible loss of attachment and bone and is the most frequently occuring form of periodontitis
what is chronic periodontitis also known as?
adult periodontitis, but is has changed because it can occur at any age
what are the alterations in color, texture and size of the marginal gingiva?
- red or purplish tissue, in chronic it may appear bright red or purple, appears swollen, may have rolled margins, blunted or flattened papillae
- the tissue may be pale pink and appear normal
is the clinical appearance of the tissues is a reiliable indicator of the presence or severity of chronic perio?
no
In chronic periodontitis is gingival bleeding, suppuration and increased crevicular fluid common?
yes
Chronic periodonitis is characterized by what kind of biofilm and calc?
mature
What does the amount of tissue destruction seen in chronic perio correspond with
the amount of biofilm accumulation, local contributing risk factors, smoking and systemic risk factors
what is clinical attachment loss
an estimate of the extent that the tooth supporting structures have been destroyed around a tooth
what are 4 things that loss of attachment in perio is characterized by?
1- relocation of junctional epithelium
2- destruction of the fibers of the gingiva
3- destruction of the perio ligament fibers
4- loss of alveolar bone support from around the tooth
Mild clinical attach loss is:
Moderate is
severe is:
1 to 2 mm
3 to 4 mm
loss greater or equal to 5 mm
What are clinical characteristics of attachement loss
loss of alveolar bone, perio pockets or recesssion, furcation involvement, tooth mobility
In localized or generalized inflammation can people have areas of health with areas of with chronic tissue destruction
yes
when is chronic perio classified as local?
when less than 30 % of sites are affected
What are contributing factors of chronic periodontitis?
local factors, systemic diseases, cigarette smoking
What are symptoms of chronic perio?
it is usually painless, pts start to see it when their gums bleed, progression of spaces between teeth, loose teeth, food impaction, sensitivity b/c of exposed root dull pain in jaw
What is peri-implantitis
term for chronic periodontitis in the tissues surrounding a dental implant
Gingivitis is a risk factor for chronic perio T/F
True
What is the age of onset for chronic perio
it can be at any age but is most common in adults over 35
at what rate does chronic periodontitis progress?
at a slow to moderate pace
Does tissue destruction in chronic perio occur in all teeth
no it is a site specific disease
does chronic perio progress at an even rate throughout the mouth?
no some sites may not change forever, and some may progress rapidly
What does initial care for chronic perio include?
- consult with physicial for systemic risk factors
- instruction, reinforcement of self care skill
- smoking cessation
- peiro instrumentation
- anti microbial agents
- removal or control of local factors
what goals should be included in treatment of chronic perio?
- control bacterial biofilm
- alter or eliminate local or systemic risk factors
- arrest disease progression
- prevent recurrence of perio
what are the desired outcomes in tx of chronic perio?
- reduction in gingival inflammation
- reduction of dental biofilm
- reduction of probing depths
what is going to determine long term outcome of perio therapy?
patient compliance with self care
what is a refractory disease?
destructive perio in a patient who when monitored over time exhibits additional attachment loss at one or more sites despite repeated prof. perio therapy and a patient who practices good self care
