paediatric perio Flashcards
what were the aims of the 2012 guidelines
- to outline a method of screening children and adolescents for periodontal diseases during the routine clinical examination in order to detect the presence of gingivitis or periodontitis at the earliest opportunity
- to provide guidance on when it is appropriate to treat in practice or refer to specialist services, thus optimising periodontal outcomes for children and young people
what are the different classifications for perio as of 2019
PERIODONTAL HEALTH
- periodontal health
- Intact periodontist
- reduced periodontist
- gingivitis - dental biofilm induced
- Intact periodontist
- reduced periodontium
- gingival diseases and conditions - non-dental biofilm induced
PERIODONTITIS
- necrotising periodontal disease
- periodontitis
- periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease
OTHER CONDITIONS AFFECTING PERIODONTIUM
- systemic disease or notions affecting periodontal supporting tissue
- periodontal abscess and eno-perio lesions
- mucogingival deformities
- truamatic occlusal force
- tooth and prosthesis related factors
what is the mnemonic to remember the classifications
- Please Give Greg Nine Percy Pigs Straight Past Meal Time Tonight
what are the 4 stages of diagnosing perio
- staging
- grading
- assess current perio status
- risk assessment
how is perio staged
- interproximal bone loss at the worst site of bone loss
- stage I, stage II, stage III or stage IV
how is perio graded
- rate of progression
- %bone loss/age
- grade A, B or C
what are the different status of perio
- current stable
- currently in remission
- currently unstable
what are features of periodontal health
- gingival margin several millimetres coronal to CEJ
- gingival sulcus may be 0.5-3mm deep
- alveolar crest 0.4-1.9mm apical to CEJ
what is the biological width
- space between CEJ and alveolar bone crest
what is periodontal health considered as
- intact periodontium
- reduced periodontium
what is the score of BOP for clinical periodontal health
- <10%
what is gingivitis
- inflammation of the gingiva
what are the types of gingivitis
- dental biofilm induced = localised or generalised
- non-dental biofilm induced
how is dental biofilm induced gingivitis caused
- as supra-gingival plaque accumulates to teeth, an inflammatory cell infiltrate develops in gingival connective tissue
- junctional epithelium becomes disrupted
- allows apical migration of plaque and an increase in gingival sulcus depth
is gingivitis reversible
- yes
why is gingivitis still reversible
- the most apical extension of the JE is still at the CEJ
- there is no periodontal loss of attachment = why it is called a false pocket
how can gingivitis present
- marginal gingivitis and very puffy interproximal
- long-standing plaque causing irritation
why is classification really important
- because it should help diagnose status which then helps inform prognosis and strategy implied to help patient
what is the BOP score for localised gingivitis
- 10-30%
what is the BOP score for generalised gingivitis
- > 30%
what is the appearance of necrotising ulcerative gingivitis
- blunted papilla
- malodour
- painful gingival
- no attachment loss
what causes necrotising ulcerative gingivitis
- fusiform and spirochete bacteria
what are risk factors of necrotising ulcerative gingivitis
- smoking, spree, immunosuppression, poor diet
- HIV+
- common in developing countries
what can necrotising ulcerative gingivitis also be called (layman’s terms)
- trench mouth
what can cause pubertal gingivitis
- increased inflammatory response to palque
- mediated by hormonal changes
- local and systemic factors can influence progression
what are some causes of non-dental biofilm induced gingivitis
- infective = viral, fungal
- drug induced = immunosuppressants, Ca+ channel blockers, anti-convulsants
- genetic
- trauma
- manifestations of systemic disease = haematology, immunological conditions, granulomatous inflammation
what is cyclosporin
- immunosuppresant
- used in patients with underlying immune disorders such as Crohn’s disease, organ transplant
what is phenytoin
- anti-convulsant
- for epileptic patients
- can cause exuberant gingivitis with very inflamed interproximal papilla
