Pathogenesis of Periodontal Disease Flashcards
Sequence of events that occur during the development of a disease or an abnormal condition
Pathogenesis
Bacterial infection of the periodontium
Periodontal disease
Umbrella term that refers to all the disease of periodontium
Periodontal disease
Bacterial confined to the gingiva
Gingivitis
This is an example of bacterial infection in gingivitis
Plaque
Reversible destruction of the tissues of the periodontium
Gingivitis
Gingivitis is observed after how many days after accumulation of plaque in the sulcus?
4-14 days
What are the 2 types of gingivitis
A. Plaque-induced gingivitis
B. Non-plaque-induced gingival lesions
Result of an interaction between the microorganisms found in the dental plaque biofilm and the tissues and inflammatory cells of the host
Plaque-induced gingivitis
What is the etiology of plaque-induced gingivitis?
Plaque
In plaque-induced gingivitis, there is an increase in this type of bacteria and will not be able to fight off bacteria
Gram negative bacteria
Oral manifestations of systemic diseases are rare
Non-plaque-induced gingival lesions
An example of non-plaque-induced gingival lesion
Benign mucous membrane pemphigoid
There is sloughing of the gingiva leaving painful ulcerations
Benign mucous membrane pemphigoid
What are the 5 origins of gingival diseases?
A. Gingival disease of specific bacteria in origin
B. Gingival disease of fungal origin
C. Gingival disease of viral origin
D. Gingival disease of genetic origin
E. Gingival manifestations of systemic conditions
What are examples of gingival diseases of specific bacteria in origin?
A. Syphilis
B. Gonorrhea
What are examples of gingival diseases of viral origin?
A. HIV
B. Erythema
What is an example of gingival diseases of fungal origin?
Patients wearing dentures for a long time
What is an example of gingival diseases of genetic origin?
Benign mucous membrane pemphigoid
What are examples of gingival manifestations of systemic conditions?
A. Diabetes mellitus
B. Arthritis
What are the 3 modifying factors of gingivitis?
A. Systemic factors
B. Gingival disease modified by medications
C. Gingival disease modified by malnutrition
There are endocrine changes associated with puberty
Systemic factors
3 endocrine changes associated with puberty
A. Menstrual cycle
B. Pregnancy
C. Puberty
Due to this, there is increased gingival inflammation even in the absence of plaque
Hormonal fluctuation
