Pathogenesis Part 1 Flashcards
what type of plaque casues gingivitis
supragingival plaque
swelling =
edematous
redness =
erthema
what type of plaque is involved in periodontitis?
subgingival plaque
what type of immunity is non-specific?
innate immunity- always there
what stages of periodontal disease does BOP occur
bleeding on probing occurs in the early, established and advanced lesion (acute gingivitis, chronic gingivitis and periodontitis)
what stage of periodontal disease does a periodontal pocket form?
advanced lesion-periodontitis
what stage of periodontal disease does cytoplasmic alterations of fibroblasts occur?
early lesion - acute gingivitis
what stage of periodontal disease do white blood cells migrate into the junctional epithelium and gingival sulcus?
initial lesion- clinically healthy
what stage of periodontal disease does the proliferation, apical migration and lateral extension of junctional epithelium occur?
established lesion - chronic gingivitis - 2-3wks
when do the basal cells of the junctional epithelium begin to proliferate?
early lesion - acute gingivitis - 4-7days
what stage of periodontal disease are immunoglobulins (antibodies) present in the connective tissue and junctional epithelium?
established lesion - chronic gingivitis - 2-3wks
what stage of periodontal disease does alveolar bone loss occur?
Occurs histologically in the advanced lesion from periodontitis- greater than 3 weeks
what stage of periodontal disease do lymphoid cell accumulate?
early lesion - acute gingivitis - 4-7 days
what stage of periodontal disease do plasma cell become cytopathologically altered?
advanced lesion- periodontitis
what stage of periodontal disease does the loss of perivascular collagen begin?
initial lesion 2-4 days
what stage of periodontal disease is distant bone marrow converted into fibrous connective tissue?
advanced lesion - periodontitis
When does fluid begin exudation from the gingival sulcus?
initial lesion
what stage of periodontal disease are there periods of quiescence and exacerbation?
advanced lesion - periodontitis
what stage of periodontal disease is there a predominance of plasma cells with out bone loss?
established lesion- chronic gingivitis
what can be stimulated to destroy collagen and ECM?
fibroblasts
what are the 4 types of cells of the innate immune response?
- mast cells 2. acute phase proteins 3. complement 4. PMN’s
what affect does TNF alpha have?
TNF alpha recruits granulocytes to the area of inflammation, induces fever
what affect does histamine have?
histamine dilate and increases permeability of blood vessels
what affect do leukotrines have?
leukotrines dilate small blood vessels, chemotaxis of leukocytes
what affect do prostaglandins have?
prostaglandins increase vascular permeability, regulate the immune response
what is the difference in hyperresponsive, normal, and hyporesponsive groups to periodontitis?
Hyperresponsive - NUG/ refractory perio Normal - clinincally obvious perio, gingivitis Hyporesponsive - group doesnt get periodontitis
what type of immunity is adaptice and specific?
acquired immunity
What types of cells are involved in the acquired immunity?
monocytes/ macrophages lymphocytes
When monocytes/ macrophages are involved what can occur?
if unresolved or resolved chronic inflammation can occur
What can occur if the serum compliment is unable to stop the invasion of bacteria?
acute inflammation recruit PMN’s
What happens if lymphocytes are able and unable to fight an infection?
able - chronic inflammation unable - systemic infection
What type of cell is involved in both the acquired immunity and the innate immunity?
monocytes/macrophages
What two types of cells cause acute inflammation?
neutrophils and serum complement
what is c-reactive protein? what does is do?
C-reactive protein is an acute phase protein. it is produced by the liver and serves to bind lysophosphatidylcholine (on surface of dying bacteria) to activate the complement system. It has a higher affect on heart attacks than LDL!!
What are five types of cells that increase the risk of heart disease?
- c-reactive protein 2. fibrinogen 3. complement 4. namose binding protein 5. metal binding protein
what activates the serum complement?
complement is activated by antigen-antibody interaction
What % of normal proteins in blood is the serum complement?
10%
Where is the complement made? and by what?
the liver, small intestine made by mononuclear cells
What type(s) of complement cause inflammation? What do they do?
C3a and C5a -the release of mast cell mediators = increased permeability of blood vessels and phagocytes can enter tissues
What part of complement forms an antibody coat over the bacteria?
C3b - forms antibody coat (opsinization)- helps to internalize the bacteria faster
what is the alternative pathway(non-specific) for complement activation/ cleavage?
endotoxins, IgG cleave C3 into C3a and C3b
what is the half life of PMN’s?
5-90 hours
How do PMN’s adhere to the endothelium?
via selectins, adhesins- ICAM and ELAM
Diapedesis
process of squeezing through endothelium
Chemotaxis
directed movement to an increase concentration
What affect does NADPH oxidase have? When is it activated?
increase in NADPH oxidase activity on surface of cells and granules helps to phagocytize bacteria. Activated in respiratory burst
PMN’s are attracted to what?
F-MLP (formyl methionine, leucine, phenylalanine) bacterial cells have this- released as bacteria turn over
What are secondary granules?
specific granules -lysosyme, NADPH oxidase, collagenase, lactoferrin
What are primary granules?
azurophilic granules -myeloperoxidase, deffensins, elastase, cathepsin
explain the process of rolling
PMN’s slow down and roll on membrane, grab onto adhesins / ICAM on endothelium and the leave the blood via diapedesis and undergo chemotexis and then phagocytize bacteria.
epitopes on bacteria cells bind to?
the FAB region of antibodies
macrophages are long lived cells that are involved in what type of immunity?
both innate and acquired immunity
are PMN’s antigen presenting cells?
No but macrophages, dentritic cells, and plasma cells are
