Pathogenesis Flashcards
What is pathogenesis`
Origin and development of a disease
What is periodontal disease
Chronic disease with interplay between biofilm, host and inflammation
What is the relationship between bacteria and inflammation
Bacteria - Initiate
Inflammation - Perpetuates
Whatis gingival health
Not bleed on probing
Pink
Firmly attached
What are the epithelial portions in gingiva
- Oral
- Sulcular
- Junctional
How does gingiva stay healthy
Maintains epithelial barrier Sloughing of epithelium Antibodies Neutrophils Macrophages
Where are antibodies found
Saliva
GCF
Capillaries
What is the histopath of gingivitis
Tissue infiltrated by defence cells
Release of enzymes
Causes collagen depletion
Reversible
How did Page and Schroder describe gingival inflammation
Initial
Early
Established
Advanced
What happens in Stage 1
Increased vascular permeability
Increased vasodilation
Increased GCF
Neutrophil and leukocyte in CT
What happens in stage 2
Increase vascular permeability Increased vasodilation Increased GCF Neutrophil Degeneration of fibroblast Collagen fibroblasts
What happens in stage 3
Chronic Gingivitis Dense inflammation Plasma Cells Increased MMP Increased Collagen depletion
What happens in stage 4
Transition to perio dx
Apical migration of JE
Increased collagen breakdown
Osteoclast resorb alveolar bone
What are the specific virulence factors
- LPS
- Protease
- Fimbriae
- Bacterial DNA
What are the host derived mediators
Cytokines
Prostaglandin
MMP
What are cytokines
Locally acting soluble messengers that amplify immune response and induce own expression
