Oral Bacteria B- Exam III Flashcards
Pyogenic infections association with the teeth and surrounding supporting structures:
dentoalveolar infections
Dentoalveolar infections are ___ infections associated with the teeth and surrounding supporting structures:
pyogenic
Endodontic infections are ___ infections that are ___.
endogenous; opportunistic
Growth in the laboratory on artificial growth media:
cultivation
Bacteria cultivated most frequently in root canal infections include:
- bacteroides
- prevotella
List the possible causes of dentoalveolar abscesses:
- spread from carious lesion
- spread through periodontal membrane an accessory root canals
- anachoresis
- tooth fracture/wear
traveling of bacteria during bacteria from tooth extraction at different site via pulpal blood supply:
anachoresis
Anachoresis traveling occurs via:
pulpal blood supply
The pathways by which microorganisms may invade the pulp and periapical tissues include:
- from apical foramen
- via PDL
- via bloodstream (anachoresis)
List the facultative anaerobes commonly isolated from dentoalveolar abscesses:
- streptococcus
- actinomyces
List the obligate anaerobes commonly isolated from dentoalveolar abscesses:
- peptostreptococcus
- porphyromonas ginigivalis
- prevotella
- fusobacterium nucleatum
a spreading bilateral infection of the sublingual and submandibular spaces involving cellulitis of the fascial spaces rather than true abscess formation:
Ludwig’s Angina
Ludwig’s angina involves ____ rather than ____.
cellulitis rather than abscess formation
bacterial infection involving the inner layers of the skin
cellulitis
Ludwigs angina is considered a ___ infection
mixed endogenous
List the bacteria species found in Ludwig’s angina:
- polyphyromonas
- prevotella
- fusobacteria
- anaerobic streptococci
What is the main concern for Ludgwig’s Angina:
airway obstruction (death by asphyxiation)
Localized collection of pus caused by acute or chronic destruction of periodontist
periodontal abscess
A periodontal abscess is a ___ infection character by ___
endogenous; sub gingival plaque bacteria
Many bacteria are associated with a periodontal abscess making this a ____ disease
polymicrobial
List the bacterial species that are commonly found in periodontal abscesses:
- porphyromonas
- prevotella
- fusobacteria
- anaerobic streptococci
Involves the same organisms as a periodontal abscess but involves bone:
suppurative osteomyelitis of the jaws
List the bacterial species that are commonly found in suppurative osteomyelitis of the jaw:
- porphyromonas
- prevotella
- fusobacteria
- anaerobic streptococci
An endogenous, granulomatous disease, characterized by painful abscesses in the mouth often caused by recent dental work dislodging bacteria giving them access to adjacent tissue:
cervicofacial actinomycosis
65% of cervicofacial actinomycosis occurs in the ____ region
cervicofacial
What bacteria is responsible for crevicofacial actinomycosis?
actinomyces (oral commensal)
What is a characteristic sign of cervicofacial actinomycosis?
visible granules in pus “sulphur granules”
