12
Q

What happens in gingivitis

A

supra gingival plaque accumulates on teeth
inflammatory cell infiltrate develops on gingival connective tissue
JE becomes disrupted
allows apical migration of plaque and an increase in gingival sulcus depth
results in false pocket

Q

What is puberty gingivitis

A

increased inflammatory response to plaque that is mediated by hormonal changes
in teens gingivitis can progress to early periodontitis
local and systemic factors can influence progression

Q

Give examples of aetiologies of non-dental biofilm induced gingival disease

A

cyclosporin
phenytoin
OFG: full thickness
gingivitis in leukemia

19
Q

Give examples of haematological conditions that lead to gingivitis

A

agranulocytosis

cyclic neutropenia

20
Q

Give examples of granulomatous inflammations that lead to gingivitis

A

crohn’s disease
sarcoidosis
granulomatosis

21
Q

What can gingival overgrowth beyond biofilm induction relate to

A
systemic and metabolic disease
genetic factors, local factors
side effects of some emdications
cyclosporin, nifedipine, phenytoin
greater incidence seen in puberty
22
Q

What is the treatment of gingivitis

A

rigorous OH/home care
frequent scaling
surgery may be necessary esp with drug induced

23
Q

What are the 4 key features of periodontitis

A

apical migration of junctional epithelium beyond CEJ
loss of attachment of periodontal tissues to cementum
transformation of junctional epithelium to pocket epithelium (often thin and ulcerated)
alveolar bone loss

24
Q

What are the early clinical signs of periodontitis in teenagers

A

> 1mm loss of attachment of cementum to PDL

25
Q

What are the pathogens seen in periodontitis in teens

A

similar to adults
p. gingivalis
prevotella intermedia
AA

26
Q

How do we assess the gingival condition

A
colour
contour
swelling
recession
suppuration
inflammation
consider use of marginal bleeding free chart
27
Q

How do we assess OH status

A

description of plaque status

describe surfaces covered by plaque

28
Q

How do we assess the calculus present

A

chart location

29
Q

How do we assess local risk factors

A
plaque retention factors
low renal attachments
malocclusion
incompetent lip seal
mouth breathing
30
Q

What is the effect of an incompetent lip seal

A

reduced upper lip coverage - labial and palatal gingivitis

increased lip separation

31
Q

What is the effect of mouth breathing

A

palatal gingivitis due to drying
