pathogenesis of perio Flashcards
inflammation
local response to cellular injury that marked by capillary dilation, leukocytic infiltration, redness, heat, pain
healthy periodontium
color–light pink
contour–thin, scalloped ging margins–tightly adapted to tooth–fills interproximal space
consistency–firm on palpation
texture–stippled
unhealthy periodontium
- color–red to blue
- contour–ging margins become edematous–interdental papilla enlarged
- consistency–soft and friable and may become fibrotic over time
- texture–smooth
healthy stratified squamous epithelium
- intact
- no rete peg into CT
- clinically shallow
- few inflammatory cells, bacteria
- tight intercellular junctions
healthy junctional epithelium
- arterioles and venules form loop patterns seen along lining surfaces
- stratified, nonkeratinizing
- 2 mm x .15 mm
- hemidesmosomal attachment to tooth
- turnover q 4-6 d
vessels of healthy perio
- distinct in form
- capillaries within gingiva in form of terminal loops
- afferent and efferent
- in sulcus, arranged in flat, anastomosing plexus parallel to enamel
stage 1
initial lesion
- 2-4 days
- vasculitis (dilated blood vessels)
- PMNs migration into JE and sulcus (polymorphs/WBCs)
- collagen loss (perivascular)–increased ging crevicular fluid GCF flow (transudate)
- not clinically detectable
- mostly neutrophils
stage II
early lesion 4-7 days -gram + aerobic microbiota -JE alteration -vascular dilation/proliferation -rete pegs formation -PMNs migration -lymphocytes (t cells) -increased fibroblast/collagen -edema
stage III
established lesion
- gram + and - aerobic/anaerobic microbiota
- increased JE permeability
- PMNs + T cells (CD4/8) + B cells (IgG)
- numerous macrophages
- obvious gingivitis and BOP
- initial pocketing but NO attachment loss (CT on CEJ and epithelium on enamel)
- affects all ages
- 7-21 days
vascular changes of inflammation
- normal loop patten become obliterated
- increased number and density of vessels
- pocket epithelium is ulcerated
- edema increases hydrostatic pressure within gingiva-therefore, it bleeds spontaneously or upon stim
whats an excellent predictor of perio stability?
absence of BOP
presence of BOP indicates what not what?
indicates local inflammation not necessarily disease progression
supragingival plaque is almost always present in–
gingivitis (calculus may or may not be present)
gingivitis has no evidence of?
radiographic evidence of bone loss
treatment of gingivitis
- plaque control or scaling
- 50% of patients do not progress to perio
components of advanced lesion (perio)
- G+
- G -
- leukocyte wall
- hyperplastic ep
- PGE2
- IL1 beta
- TNF alpha
- IL 6
- MMPs
- CT
- macrophages and lymphocytes
advanced lesion/periodontitis
- mostly gram - anaerobic
- apical proliferation of JE, ulceration of lining
- predominance of plasma cells, possible copious exudate flow
- further loss of collagen, altered fibroblasts
- perio pocket
- sig pocketing, CAL, and bone resorption
- periods of quiescnece/exacerbation
