Perio-Systemic Connection Flashcards

1
Q

Cardio Vascular Disease Proposed Mechanisms (2)

A

(1) Hyperinflammatory Macrophage Phenotype, Common Susceptibility Model – Genetic factors or Diet/Environmental factors (excess glucose) cause **ANGRY MACROPHAGES*phenotype that releases more inflammatory cytokines –> HYPERINFLAMMATORY STATE

(2) Direct INVASION/Injury by Periodontal Pathogens
- Bacteria enter the periodontium, circulate in the blood (bacteremia), stick in places such as the coronary arteries
- Internalized bacteria are safe from neutrophils in the epithelium or smooth muscle
- P. gingivalis was found in atherosclerotic plaques

Q

Hypothesis of Perio disease having a connection to systemic health issues- The causes include what (6 things are a result of poor perio health)

A
  1. Periodontitis
  2. Pro-inflammatory cytokines (from gram negative anaerobic bacteria causing inflammation)
  3. Bacteremia
  4. Cytokine spillover causes activation of the liver
  5. Acute phase reactants (CRP/IL-6)
  6. Activation and Bacterial Invasion of Endothelium - Atheroma (plaque formation)

Q

Focal infection theory

A

the place containing the epidemiological factors needed for infection (place, vector, targets, characteristics for spreading)

Sepsis caused by spread of microbes from distant, chronically infected sites (including the oral cavity) has been proven to be responsible for inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, peptic ulcers, and appendicitis

Q

Bradford Hill Criteria for Causation Says what/tries to do what in general

A

How Do We Go from Association to Causation – prove that an exposure caused a morbid event (criteria can be fulfilled for an association to show that is was causal for an event)

Q

BH Temporality

A

Exposure comes BEFORE the outcome is seen-THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT

20
Q

BH Biological Gradient

A

As exposure increases so does the outcome

21
Q

Plausability of BH

A

association makes sense according to our kowledge

22
Q

BH of coherence

A

Association does not contradict our knowledge

23
Q

BH of experiment

A

causation more likely if evidence is based on randomized experiments

24
Q

Meta analysis and systematic review are strongest IF

A

IF they are of RCTs only-what kinds of studies did they have access to

25
Q

BH analogy

A

For analogous exposures and outcomes an effect has already been shown

26
Q

The Hierarchy of Levels of Evidence

A

RCT’s to Cross Sectional Epidemiological Observations
o Systematic Review or Meta-Analysis are limited by the “science” they review – better to have a systematic review of RCTs vs Cross-Sectional Studies
o Positive Outcomes are easy to interpret – you are looking for True Positives, positive tests for true cases
o Negative Outcomes are difficult to interpret – wide confidence intervals, causal interference may be inconclusive

27
Q

Positive Outcomes are hard or easy to interpret? What does it mean?

A

easy to interpret – you are looking for True Positives, positive tests for true cases

28
Q

Negative Outcomes are hard or easy to interpret? What does it mean?

A

are difficult to interpret – wide confidence intervals, causal interference may be inconclusive

29
Q

Dental Health and Myocardial Infarction (MI)- result?

A

Dental Index was found to be higher in MI patients vs. the controls

30
Q

Oral Wounds with moderate to advanced periodontitis with a wound surface exposed to gram negative bacteria (that could enter as bacteremia) have more what?

A

Acute Phase Reactants – C-Reactive Protein, Plasma IL-6 levels raised in periodontitis patients vs controls

31
Q

What type of perio treatment will lower the CRP the most?

A

Intensive periodontal therapy lowers CRP levels the most

32
Q

Oral Wounds with moderate to advanced periodontitis with a wound surface exposed to gram negative bacteria (that could enter as bacteremia) is estimated to be what in size

A

be 8-20 cm (golf ball sized)

33
Q

_____ levels were found to be raised in periodontitis patients vs controls

A

C-Reactive Protein, Plasma IL-6

34
Q

Do people with perio disease have more atherosclerosis? How many had mouth bacteria in the study?

A

Not proven…2/3 of plaques had mouth bacteria in the plaques though

35
Q

Spahr Arch (explain this)

A

Higher pathogen burden (namely A. actinmycetemcomitans) and Congenital Heart Defect in perio patients

36
Q

What is the risk of bacteremia with perio? Compare tooth brushing and extraction

A

200x the risk during toothbrushing

37
Q

Can perio pathogens survive in carotid plaques? Explain what happens

A

Yes- the body will just hold the bacteria in one place as macrophages accumulate lipoproteins and convert to large foam cells as part of plaques when in the presence of periodontal pathogens

38
Q

Is there an association between MI/CVA and perio? Odds Ratio?

A

Yes, proven in cross sectional and longitudinal

Poor Odds Ratio though

39
Q

Arguments against the Cardiovascular Associations (3)

A
  • Adjustment for smoking is difficult
  • Spurious associations
  • Edentultation doesn’t improve morbidity
40
Q

Bradford Hill Criteria Applicable to Perio and Cardio (His belief)

A

Specificity, Plausibility, Coherence, and Biological gradient,

41
Q

Pregnancy Considerations of perio disease

A

Risk of Preterm, Low Birthweight (<2500g, <37weeks)

42
Q

Are the studies for perio and pre term birth conclusive?

A

Non are

43
Q

mother had poor perio through pregnancy (gingavitis), got an upper respiratory tract infection that ties up the immune system… What killed the baby?

A

The bacteria in the moms gingiva was found in the kids lungs

44
Q

Compare preterm Antibodies in mom’s with perio disease and those without

A

Preterm had 3x the Fetal IgM to one or more periodontal pathogens (highest risk when
coupled with lack of maternal IgG to mother’s infections)

45
Q

Bradford hill criteria for Perio and PTB

A

Specificity, Plausibility, (and Experiment) Coherence
