Periodontists and Risk Factors Flashcards
Periodontics
The Histopathology of an Established lesion (chronic periodontitis )
Infiltrate of B cells and disruption of g fibers
Periodontitis is not age-related, disease but it is
Is an age-associated.(Not Cause and effect) but the lengthy period of the disease (correlation).
Patients with the IL-1 genotype
Increased the risk for tooth loss by 2.7 times;
Heavy smokers and IL-1 genotype negative
Increased the risk for tooth loss by 2.9 times.
The combined effect of the IL-1 genotype and smoking.
Increased the risk of tooth loss by 7.7 times.
The premolars frequently.
Will drift distally. While drifting distally, the mandibular premolars lose their intercuspation relationship with the maxillary teeth and may tilt distally.
When First Molar is not replaced.
The second and third molars tilt, resulting in a decrease in the vertical dimension. The anterior overbite+ increased. (Carranza).
Gingival overgrowth can be experienced when taking the following:
i. Calcium channel blockers
ii. Phenytoin
iii. Cyclosporine
The predominant cell in the periodontal pocket
Neutrophils
The width of attached gingiva is increased by
Free gingival graft and apically repositioned flap (full thickness and partial)
Osseous surgery with periodontal therapy
Eliminate the periodontal pockets and reshaping of hard and soft tissue.
GCF provides the inorganic ions of calcium and phosphorous for
Subgingival Plaque
Saliva provides Ca++ and Phosphorus for
Supragingival Plaque
bacteria in the apical portion of a tooth associated-plaque
Gram Negative-Rods
Localized aggressive periodontitis (children, adults) is associated with
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.
