- attached plaque
- unattached
What are the 3 types of attached plaque?
- tooth

What are the underlying host response events that are the basis for the clinical findings seen in gingivitis and periodontitis?
-
What is the relationship between periodontal disease and systemic effects?
-
T/F: Increased epithelial turnover rate may result in a lack of keratinization.
True.
What is the major cell type found in inflammatory cell infiltrate?
PMNs
When does the initial lesion occur?
2-4 days
What are the histologic features of an initial lesion?
- vasculitis of vessels in JE
- exudate from gingival sulcus
- increased leukocytes into JE & gingival sulcus
- presence of serum proteins (fibrin)
- increased vascularity
- alteration to coronal JE
- loss of perivascular collagen
What is the clinical appearance of the initial lesion?
- appears clinically healthy
- no periodontal pocket
- no radiographic evidence of bone loss
When does the early lesion occur?
4-7 days
