periodontics Flashcards
2 types of acute gingivitis
ANUG
primary herpetic gingivostomatitis
why is GCF increased in gingivitis/PD?
delivers humoral + cellular defence factors to combat microbial insult
which bacteria dominates in health?
streptococci
which bacteria dominates in gingival disease?
anaerobic gram-negative bacteria - red
how does bone loss occur?
inflammation spreads to bone, bone resorbed by osteoclasts to create room for host defence cells
what epithelium is attached to tooth surface?
junctional
how many days for an established periodontal lesion to form?
21days+
3 clinical presentations of ANUG
- painful
- sloughing of gingival margin
- ulceration
causes of ANUG
poor OH
often immunocompromised
poor diet + general health
smoking
bacteria associated with ANUG
fuso-spirochaetal bacteria
treatment of ANUG
- OHI
- remove deposits
- if spreading infection - metronidazole (2nd line amoxicillin)
5 dermatological disease causing non-plaque induced gingivits
- lichen Planus
- pemphigoid
- pemphigus
- erythema multiforme
- lupus erythematous
4 main groups in 2017 classification of periodontal disease
- gingival health + gingivitis
- periodontitis
- other conditions affecting periodontist
- peri-implantitis
what is necrotising stomatitis
severe inflammation extending through peridontium + oral cavity - past gingiva
difference between localised + generalised gingivitis.PD
> 30% generalised
3 classifications our periodontal status of implants
- peri-implant health
- peri-implant mucositis
- peri-implantitis
how is a pocket created in periodontal disease?
junctional ep migrates apically to try and maintain ep barrier - anaerobic bacteria flourish
how to proceed if NPE code 4s or evidence of interdental recession?
radiographic assessment
full PPDs
how to proceed if any code 3 with no obvious sign of interdental recession?
radiographic assessment
initial therapy - OHI, risk factors, suprascale
localised PPDs in 3 months to review
grades of tooth mobility
0 = physiological <0.2mm 1 = 0.2 - 1mm horizontal mouvement 2 = >1mm horizontal but not vertical 3 = horizontal + vertical
classification of furcations
1 = <3mm deep 2 = >3mm deep but not through 3 = through and through
how to measure recession + clinical attachment loss
recession = CEJ to gingival margin
clinical attachment loss = CEJ to base of pocket
what tooth brushing technique is used for spaces between teeth?
charter
how does chlorhexidine mouth was work?
bactericidal
disrupt negatively charged cell walls, disrupts osmotic barrier
disadvantages of chlorhexidine
taste disturbance + brown stain
difference between RSD + root planing?
RSD = no intentional removal of cementum
what is curettage?
instrumentation to remove soft tissue lining of periodontal socket
expected probing depth reduction + attachment gain following RSD if initial probing depth 4-6mm?
expected probing reduction = 1-1.5mm
expected attachment gain = 0-0.5mm
expected probing depth reduction + attachment gain following RSD if initial probing depth 7+mm?
expected probing reduction = 2-3mm
expected attachment gain = 1-2mm
why do probing depths reduce after RSD?
decreased gingival swelling, increase resisitance
formation of LJE
negatives of RSD
gingival recession
root sensitivity
