Pathogenesis Flashcards
What are the 5 components of Microbial Plaque?
Bacteria Fungus Protozoa Virus Microplasm
What are the two types of plaque?
Subgingival
Supragingival
What are components of the supragingival plaque?
Coronal plaque
Marginal Plaque
What are the components of the subgingival plaque?
Attached plaque
Unattached
Where do you find the attached plaque?
Tooth
Epithelium
Connective Tissue
What are the five cardinal signs of inflammation?
Redness (rubor) Swelling (tumor) Heat (calor) Pain (dolor) Loss of function (functiolaesa)
Is supragingival plaque aerobic or anaerobic?
aerobic
Is subgingival plaque aerobic or anaerobic?
anaerobic
What can increase the subgingival plaque if it accumulates?
Supragingival plaque
What can cause the pain from the five cardinal signs of inflammation?
Abcesses
If you have an increased number of blood vessels in the gingiva what might that be a sign of?
Periodontal disease
Inflammation
What happens to the epithelial ridges (rete pegs) when you have periodontal disease or inflammation?
They extend deep into the connective tissue
T/F Probing depth increase during inflammation or periodontal disease.
True
T/F You have decreased vascular permeability during inflammation/ periodontal disease?
False
You have increased permeability
What happens to the collagen fiber network in periodontitis?
It goes through destruction
Loss of attachment to root surface
What happens to the epithelial cell junctions with inflammation?
They get disrupted
What does the gingiva look like clinically with inflammation?
Erythematous tissue
Spongy
Edematous
When does the initial lesion occur?
2-4 days
When do you first see the loss of perivascular collagen?
Initial lesion
What happens to the junctional epithelium during the initial lesion?
Alteration of the most coronal portion
When do you find increased migration of leukocytes into the junction epithelium and gingival sulcus?
Initial lesion
Where do you find classic vasculitis of vessels in the initial lesion?
subjacent to the junction epithlium
When do you find the presence of serum proteins, especially fibrin?
Initial lesion
When clinically will you find these symptoms?
Appear clinically Healthy
No periodontal Pocket
No radiographic evidence of bone loss
Initial lesion
When does the early lesion occur?
4-7 days
