Q

What happens in the Advanced Stage of gingival inflammation?

A
  1. Transition to perio dx
  2. B- cell predominates still
  3. Bone loss occurs by osteoclast resorbing alveolar bone

17
Q

What are prostaglandins?

A
  1. Lipid compound from arachadonic acid
  2. Metabolized by COX1 & 2
  3. Increase vasodilation/ inflammation
  4. Induce MMP and Bone Resorption
18
Q

What are MMPs?

A

Enzymes that break down structural proteins like collagens

Matrix metalloproteinases

19
Q

What are the Inflammatory mediators in perio disease? (4)

A
  1. Interleukin (IL-1, IL-6)
  2. TNF Alpha
  3. Prostaglandin (PGE2)
  4. Chemokines - Direct migration of WBCs
20
Q

What are Interleukins?

A

Type of cytokines linked to innate immune response (they stimulate the immune response)

21
Q

What is TNF alpha?

A
  1. Inflammatory mediator
  2. Increases neutrophil activity
    (TNF Alpha - Neutrophils)
22
Q

What cells makes/secretes prostaglandin?

A
  1. Macrophages

2. Fibroblasts

23
Q

What are chemokines?

A
  1. Chemotactic molecules (Direct WBC to inflammation)

2. Leukocyte migration role

24
Q

How does a pocket develop?

A
  1. Biofilm causes inflammation which causes sulcus to deepen

2. Defense cells cause CT breakdown –> apical movement of JE

25
Q

What is RANKL?

A

Pro osteoclast that regulates bone formation

26
Q

Discuss the resolution of inflammation?

A

ACTIVE process

  1. Lipoxins
  2. Resolvins
  3. Protectins
27
Q

What is innate immunity

A
  1. Non specific barrier to infection
  2. Lysozyme
  3. Mucin
  4. Peroxidase
  5. Phagocytic cells (monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils
28
Q

What are the defensive components of saliva? (5)

A
  1. Antibodies
  2. Lactoferrin
  3. Mucin
  4. Lysozyme
  5. Perioxidase
29
Q

What are GCF defensive functions? (3)

A
  1. Antibodies
  2. Neutrophils
  3. Flushing action
30
Q

What is in epithelium to make it a defensive tissue?

A

Keratin is the barrier

31
Q

What are senteniel cells?

A
  1. Macrophage and dendritic cells (Antigen Presenting Cells and Phagocytic)
  2. Provide innate and adaptive immunity
32
Q

What are neutophils?

A

Type of White Blood Cell

  1. Phagocytic Cells
  2. Low grade defense- First line of defense in innate immunity
33
Q

What is adaptive immunity?

A
  1. Later immune response with plasma cells/B Cells
  2. Slower and more complex
  3. Antigen specific
  4. Chronic periodontitis is adaptive
34
Q

What are the 3 types of Antigen Presenting Cells and what do they do?

A
  1. B Cell
  2. Macrophage
  3. Dendritic Cell

Go to the lymph node to present to the T Cell

35
Q

REPEAT CARD- IGNORE

how do antigen presenting cells function

A

Go to lymph node and react with T Cells

36
Q

What are T cells?

A

Cells in adaptive immunity- Develop in the bone marrow and go to the Thymus

37
Q

What are antibodies?

What is the most common type?

A
  1. Made by B cells
  2. Immunoglobulin for specific antigen

Most common is IgG
