Perio and systemic disease Flashcards
What did they use to say about local infections
It leads to chronic diseases
Why does the focal infection theory not make sense?
Extracting teeth doesn’t help
People with oral health can have systemic disease
Edentulous people still get systemic diseases
How can periodontitis potentially influence systemic disease?
The acute phase reaction cascade
What is the acute phase reaction cascade
Triggering factors > local reaction> mediatos> secondary systemic reaction
What are some triggering factors
Infection necrosis surgery neoplasia radiation
What cells are involved in local reactions
Macrophages fibroblasts and endothelial cells
What are mediators?
Inflammatory cytokines ex.
TNF-@, IL-1, IL-6, INFy
What are common secondary systemic reaction
Fever and leukocytosis
Complement activation
Serum glucocorticoid increased
Altered synthesis of acute phase proteins
What are the acute phase proteins
Complement components Protease inhibitors (@2 macro globulin) C reactive proteins Fibrinogen Plasminogen
What do complement fragments do
Opsonization lysis and Ctx
What do c reactive proteins do
Opsonization
What does fibrinogen do
Coagulation ctx
What does plasminogen do
Degrades blood clots
What percentage of Americans over thirty have periodontitis
47%
What kind of bacteria live in perio pockets
Gram negative
Do infected and inflamed tissues pose a risk for perio?
Yes
Perio leads to a systemic exposure to:
Bacteria, their products and inflammatory cytokines
What defines a risk factor?
Consistency of association Strength of association Correct time sequence Specificity of associations Degree of exposure Biological plausibility Support from experimental evidence
What does specificity mean?
If the factor is only associated with one disease, it is likely to be unconnected
What does degree of exposure have to do with a risk factor
More exposure should equal more risk
What is biological plausibility
The risk factor should make sense
What counts as experimental evidence
Animal testing
What are four diseases associated with perio
Avd
Adverse pregnancy outcomes
Diabetes
Respiratory infection
What is atherosclerosis
Progessive disease where med-large muscular and large elastic bvs get occluded w atheromas
What are atheromas
Fibro lipid lesions
What are common complications of AVD
Coronary thrombosis and acute mi
What is the progression of AVD
Macrophages and cholesterol and LDL forms foam cells that die and recruit more macs forming an atheroma that rupture and form a thrombosis that occlude arteries
