(makes collagen)
(makes cementum)
(makes bone)
- Cell-to-cell connection
- Two neighboring epithelial cells together
- Found in gingival epithelium
- Like snap closure on a jacket
Desmosome
Originates from the cementum and runs apically to insert into the alveolar crest.
Resists lateral movement of the tooth and keeps tooth in its socket.
The first fibers to be formed before tooth eruption has occurred
Alveolar crest
- Collagen fibers from the PDL
- Insertion into cementum & alveolar bone
- Inserts into the hard tissues at 90 degrees
- The angulation increases its strength
Sharpey’s Fibers
Originates from cementum and runs at right angles and inserts into bone.
Opposes lateral forces.
The second fibers to be formed as soon as the first tooth-to-tooth contact has occurred
Horizontal
Found in the middle third of the root api to the horizontal fibers; originates from cementum and runs coronally and diagonally into bone.
Absorbs occlusal forces.The most abundant and thus the principal attachment of the tooth.
Oblique
Originates from cementum of the apex of the root, spreading out apically and laterally into bone.
Resists tipping of the tooth.
One of the last fibers to form.
Apical
From the crest of the interradicular septum extending to the cementum in the furcation area.
Resists the forces of luxation (pulling out) and tipping.
.Lost when bone is destroyed in the furcation area in disease.
Interradicular
- Connect epithelial cell to basal lamina connection
* Found in gingival epithelium
Hemidesmosome
Base of the sulcus
Joins gingiva to the tooth
• Nonkeratinized
• Similar to SE, it is vulnerable.
• More permeable than the OE or SE
• Attaches the gingiva enamel and/or cementum
• JE provides a seal at the base of the pocket
• JE also is a protective barrier
• Between the plaque biofilm and the underlying
connective tissue
• High rate of cell turnover
JunctionalEpithelium(JE)
- Cover outer surface of Free & Attached gingiva
- From the crest of the GM to MGJ
- Wavy boundary junction with the connective tissue (in health)
- Epithelialridgesconnectwiththecollagenfibersinthe connective tissue
- May be keratinized or parakeratinized
Oral Epithelium (OE)
- Lining of the sulcus
- Thin and nonkeratinized
- Vulnerable to stresses
- Junction to the connective tissue is smooth
- Permeable, allows fluid flow à GCF

Long-lived, out of control inflammatory response
• Continues for more than few weeks
• Destroy healthy tissue and cause more damage than the original problem – overzealous immune system
• Classic warning signs are absent
• Problems go unnoticed by patient • Clinically, pain is often absent
Chronic Inflammation
- Short-term & normal process
- Increased movement of plasma and leukocytes from the blood to injured tissues
- Shows five classic signs of acute inflammation
1. Heat
2. Redness
3. Swelling
4. Pain
5. Loss of function
Acute Inflammation
Body sends host defense components to site of infection
In an attempt to heal and eliminate pathogens
Inflammatory Response
• Within minutes after cleaning, acquired pellicle forms over tooth surface
• Acquired pellicle composed of salivary glycoproteins
Allows for free-flowing microbes to stick to the pellicle
Stage 1: Initial Attachment
What stage:
- Microbes able to withstand hydrodynamic forces
- Predominantly gram + cocci
- Attains permanent attachment
- Attached microbes produce substances to attract others
- Coaggregation
- When genetically different bacteria become attached to one another
Stage 2: Permanent Attachment
- Self-protective matrix formation
- Firmly attached bacteria secrete protective matrix -Extracellular protective matrix
- Consists of proteins, glycolipids, and bacterial DNA
- Protected against host immune response
- Chronic disease established
Stage 3: Maturation Phase I
- Mushroom shape microcolonies form
- Attached to the tooth by a narrow base
- Specific species grow at an accelerated rate
- Biofilm becomes thicker, forming on top of each other
- Fluid channels form within the matrix
- Carries nutrients to the microbes & disposes waste
- Cell to cell communication occurs among each other
Stage 4: Maturation Phase II
what Stage of biofilm
Microbes disperse from colony to spread to other surfaces
Stage 5: Dispersion
Condition in which a purulent oozes from the gingival surface when pressed.
gingival suppuration
pus
recession = + Enlargement= -
Determining attachment loss and inflammation
Recession that dosnt extend to the mucogingival junction with no periodontal bone loss in the interdental areas
Millers class 1
Recession that extends to/ beyond the mucogingival junction/ no interdental bone loss
Millers class 2
Recession extends to beyond the mucogingival junction, with some periodontal attachment loss in the interdental area or malpositioning of the teeth
Millers class 3
Recession that extends to or beyond mucogingival junction with severe bone loss and soft tissue loss interdentally/ with malpositioning of teeth
class 4
process whereby microorganisms irreversibly attach to and grow on a surface and produce extracellular polymers that facilitate attachment and matrix formation.
Biofilm formation
• Present @ birth
• Not antigen specific
Does NOT improve with repeated exposure to pathogen
• Innate
• Develops throughout life
• Antigen specific
• Lag time between infection and response
• Memory develops which may provide lifelong
immunity to reinfection
• Adaptive
to defend the life of the individual by identifying foreign substances in the body and developing a defense against them.
Prime Purpose of Immune System
- Also called neutrophils
- Rapid responders
- 1st line of defense against infection
- Capture & destroy
- Short-lives (dies after engorged with bacteria)
- Attracted to bacteria by chemotaxis
- Digests bacteria by using lysosomes
- Perio pathogens most effectively destroyed by PMNs
PMN
- when in bloodstream =?
- when in tissues =?
- Slower to arrive than PMNs
- Surround & destroy bacteria
- Long-lives, seen in chronic inflammation
Monocytes
Macrophage
Antibodies
Otherwise known as immunoglobulins (Ig)
Five major classes IgM
IgD
IgG
IgA: found in saliva!
IgE
part of the body’s immune system. They help the body fight infection and other diseases.
White blood cells (WBC)
Types of white blood cells are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells).
• Small, and they reorganize & control invaders
Lymphocytes
WBC
when in bloodstream when in tissues • Slower to arrive than PMNs • Surround & destroy bacteria • Long-lives, seen in chronic inflammation
- Monocyte:
- Macrophage:
-Makes antibodies and releases them into bloodstream
Y-shaped proteins that bind
B-Lymphocytes (B-Cells)
One end to antigen, other to B-Cell Helps B-cell kill antigen Can change to two types of B-Cells: Plasma B-Cells Memory B-Cells
Intensifies the response of the B cells and the macrophages to the bacterial invasion.
This further stimulate immune response
T-Lymphocytes (T-Cells)
T-cells produce cytokines
….travel via bloodstream
- Near the infection site, ….push their way between the thin layer of epithelial cells and enter the connective tissue (extravasation)
- This process = transendothelial migration
Migration of Leukocytes to Infection Site
• Process where leukocytes
1. Enter the connective tissue
2. Are attracted to the infection site
• Because of biochemical compounds released by invaders
Chemotaxis
process by which a cell uses its plasma membrane to engulf a large particle, giving rise to an internal compartment
Phagocytosis
Which inflammatory process?
- Blood vessels in infection site become more permeable
- PMNs arrive first at site
- PMNs release cytokines to facilitate response
- Liver produces C-reactive proteins (CRP)
- If body succeeds in getting rid of infection, tissue will heal, immune cells leave area with no damage to tissues
Acute Inflammatory Process
• Dysfunction of the resolution pathway which is supposed to shut down the inflammatory response after initial response
• Result:
1. Perio tissues do not heal
2. Chronic, progressive and destructive, nonresolving inflammation
Periodontal Disease
Signs and symptoms during chronic inflammation may disappear entirely or partially during period of remission
Remission •
• Signs and symptoms may recur with all of their severity in an active period called exacerbation
• Exacerbation
- Initial lesion
- Early lesion
- Established lesion
- Advanced lesion
4 Histologic Stages in Periodontal Disease Development
What stage?
Bacteria colonize near GM: initial location of biofilm
• GCF increases in volume as response to bacteria presence
• Vascular dilation à PMN migration
• Clinically, tissue looks healthy
• Host response by PMNs successful if most bacteria is destroyed
• Body can repair any damage at this point
• If bacteria is not controlled, early gingivitis develops
Initial Lesion: Bacterial Accumulation
- Biofilm matures, bacterial toxins penetrate the JE
- Increase vasculature/permeability, more PMNs move in
- PMNs release cytokines that cause localized destruction of CT
- Macrophages recruited at this point, release more cytokines
- Clinically: edema and redness at GM seen
- Initiation of good self-care can disrupt biofilm for complete health to return
- IF immune system fails to shut off this host response à lesion progresses to established gingivitis
Early Lesion: Early Gingivitis
What stage of gingivitis ?
• Biofilm extends subgingivally
• Disrupts attachment of the most coronal of the JE attachment
• More stimulation of the immune system
• More PMNs, macrophages, and lymphocytes
• Plasma cells now produce large # of antibodies to assist
• This host response end up getting healthy CT destroyed
• JE loses attachment to root surface and transforms into pocket epithelium which is thinner & more permeable
Established Lesion: Established Gingivitis
