A

Pathogenesis Stages

1) INITIAL: Increased GCF (gingival crevicular fluid), tissue looks wet. Acute Inflamm: Vasculitis, PMNs, Mac’s, (2-4 days)
2) EARLY: Start to see signs of gingivitis (redness/bleeding/edema), T-cell lesion (4-7 days)
3) ESTABLISHED: B-cell lesion, plasma cells, Chronic Gingivitis (2-3 wks)

4) ADVANCED = periodontitis (B-cell lesion, bone loss, pocket formation)
( Unknown time or if gingivitis will ever develop into periodontitis)

38
Q

26) Know the difference between ***cytokines IL, TNF, what causes bone destruction?

A

IL-1β (Interleukin-1) - CYTOKINE

  • Bone resorption
  • Genetic Influences: Interluekin-1 slide
  • Polymorphisms in the gene cluster associated with the activity of IL-1 are responsible for a 2-4 times increase in macrophage IL-1 production.
  • Individuals with this IL-1 profile have more severe periodontal disease.
  • The polymorphism does not cause the disease, it makes the individual response more severe
39
Q

26) Know the difference between cytokines IL, **TNF, what causes bone destruction?

TNFά - CYTOKINE

  • Bone resorption (with PGE2)
40

A

MMP(1&8) - PROTEINASES (NOT A CYTOKINE but found with them)

  • Connective tissue breakdown

  • Pocket formation
  • Periodontitis = advanced lesion
  • B-cell lesion (name of cells involved)

42
Q

28) Know about SMOKING, effects on TX, problems in smoking, What do we see in immune response?

A
  • DEC. clinical expression of inflammation, LESS clinical inflammation
  • Causes LOCALIZED Attachment LOSS & “leathery” gingiva
  • SMOKELESS Tobacco: Leukoplakia carcinoma, NO effect on periodontitis
  • Smoking effects are reversible w/ cessation
  • Current smokers = 4x risk of peril disease, former smokers = 1.6x risk
  • Smoking has NO EFFECT on RATE of Plaque Accumulation
  • INCREASE pathogens in shallow & deep pockets
  • Causes DECREASED immune response, PMN, chemotaxis, phagocytosis
  • Causes INCREASE TNF-alpha, PEG2 & MMP-8
  • Smokers have DECREASE response to Tx: LESS reduction of pocket depths, LESS regenerative response, INCREASE likelihood of failed implants, DECREASE response to scaling & root planing, LESS pocket depth reduction, LESS gain in attachment, INCREASE in pocket depth, DECREASE in attachment gain
  • GREATER risk of recurrence (relapse) & refractory (non-responsive to tx modalities)
  • Overall MORE tooth loss
  • Smokers are good candidates for PerioStat drug therapy (antibiotics)
43
Q

29) Host Modulatory response? What does it do and how does it do it? What is the goal?

A
  • Normal host response does a significant portion of the damage seen in periodontal disease. Host response is mediated by :
    1) MMPs such as collagenase
  • Produce collagen breakdown

2) Prostaglandins
- Produce bone resorption

3) Osteoclasts
- Produce bone resorption

  • Host modulation is regulating the tissue damaging host response, typically using drugs.
  • Target MMPs, Prostaglandins, Osteoclasts
  • Major drug for host modulation - Periostat, which is a small dose of the antibiotic doxycycline
  • Inhibits MMP at 20 mg 2x a day and didn’t alter immune susceptibility (100mg tablets, cut into 4, 1 in AM and 1 in PM) → put collagenase pharmaceuticals out of business
44
Q

30) When you collect data what is most important when you collect it when diagnose perio disease?

A
  • CAL: Clinical Attachment Loss
  • Probing Depth Measurement + Gingival Margin Level (+ or - ) = CAL
  • If we saw the patient today & took data, and we saw them months later & took data how can we tell there was a continuation of the disease
    CAL & probing depths increasing can tell you if disease is getting worse!
45
Q

31) Know what healthy gingiva and what disease gingiva looks like?

A

Healthy:

  • Scalloped gingival margin
  • Papillas between the teeth are knife-like
  • Pink (salmon) indicative of health

Diseased (1-5)

  • Blunted/bulbous/rounded interproximally
  • Engorged - Vasculature
  • Red is diseased (inflammation)
  • Increased bleeding on probing
  • Loss of clinical attachment levels/recession
  • Loss of soft and hard tissues
  • “Only increasing probing depths and clinical attachment loss are associated with disease progression”
  • If smoker - tissue will be fibrotic and not show lots of bleeding (1-7)
46
Q

32) Know cementum (bc it is apart of attachment apparatus)

A
  • Calcified substance that covers root.
  • Can have Overlap (60-65%), Butt (30%) or Exposed Dentin (5-10%) at the cementoenamel junction.

Dimensions:

  • 16-60 microns coronal
  • 150+ microns apical
  • apical, furcal and distal surfaces increases with age
  • Cementum increases in width with age
  • Attaches teeth to alveolar bone by anchoring PDL (Sharpey’s fibers inserts into cementum)
