Perio Exam Review Flashcards
Bone resorption in an uneven oblique direction and affects one tooth
Infrabony defect
The sequence of events that occur during the development of a disease or abnormal condition is?
Pathogenesis
3 basic states of the periodontium?
Health
Gingivitis
Periodontitis
When is gingivitis observed clinically?
4-14 days after plaque biofilm accumulates in the gingival sulcus
Species of bacteria that are not harmful
Innocuous
Species of bacteria that are capable of causing disease
Pathogenic
Bacteria that require oxygen
Aerobic
Bacteria that cannot live with oxygen present
Anaerobic
Flee floating bacteria
Planktonic
99% of _____ all bacteria on earth live as attached bacteria
Attached
What type of diseases may be plaque induced?
TB, cystic fibrosis, subacute bacterial endocarditis and periodontal disease
What is the biofilm life cycle?
Attachment
Growth
Detachment
A type of periodontal disease characterized by changes in the color, contour, and consistency of the gingival tissues
Gingivitis
Gingivitis that lasts a short period of time
Acute gingivitis
Gingivitis that lasts for months or years
Chronic gingivitis
Type of periodontal disease that is characterized by the apical migration of the JE, loss of CT attachment and loss of alveolar bone
Periodontitis
Movement of the JE apical to its normal location is termed
Apical migration of the JE
Bodies reaction to injury or invasion by disease producing organisms
Inflammation
Resorption of alveolar bone as a result of periodontitis
Alveolar bone loss
Bone loss fairly even, overall reduction in the height of alveolar bone
Horizontal bone loss
Less common pattern of bone loss and also called angular bone loss
Vertical bone loss
Bone resorption is uneven primarily on 1 tooth
Infra bony defect
Bowl shaped defect in the interdental alveolar bone with bone loss nearly equal on roots of 2 adjacent teeth
Osseous craters
Occurs on a multi rooted tooth when periodontal infection invades the area between and around the roots
Furcation involvement
A disease site that is stable with the attachment level of the JE remaining the same over time
Inactive disease site
A disease site that shows continued apical migration of the JE over time
Active disease site
