Periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease Flashcards
diseases and conditions that can affect the periodontal tissues by:
- influencing the course of periodontitis
- affecting the periodontal supporting tissues independently of dental plaque biofilm induced inflammation
what are the systemic disorders that have a major impact on the loss of the periodontal tissue by influencing periodontal inflammation
- genetic disorders
- acquired immunodeeficiency diseases
- inflammatory diseases
what are the genetic disorders that affect periodontal disease
- diseases associated with immunologic disorders
- diseases affecting the oral mucosa and gingival tissue
- diseases affecting the connective tissues
- metabolic and endocrine disorders
what are the diseases associated with immunologic disorders
- down syndrome
- leukocyte adhesion deficiency
- papillon lefevre syndrome
- chediak higashi syndrome
- congenital neutropenia
what is down syndrome
- trisomy 21 or mongolism
- characteristic physical appearance
- mental deficiency and growth retardation
how does down syndrome affect periodontal disease
- moderate to severe periodontitis with rapid progression
- local factors alone failed to explain the severity of periodontal destruction
- instrinsic immune system defects
- poor PMN chemotaxis, phagocytosis, intracellular killing
what is leukocyte adhesion deficiency
- mutation in beta 2- integrin (ITGB2) gene: lack of beta-2 integrin mRNA in leukocytes, low integrin expression on neutrophils
- neutrophils are confined to blood vessels: disruption of neutrophil associated homeostasis
- history of severe recurrent infection but no pus: leukocytosis is common
how does leukocyte adhesion deficiency affect periodontal disease
- severe, gingival inflammation, acute gingival lesions
- early onset and rapidly progressive alveolar bone loss
- early loss of the primary and permanent teeth
what is papillon lefevre syndrome
- mutations in the cathepsin C gene (CTSC): chromosome 11q14
- compromised neutrophil function: decreased phagocytosis
- hyperkeratotic lesions: palms, soles of feet, elbows, knees
how does papillon lefevre syndrome correlate with periodontal disease
- severe gingival inflammation
- early onset and rapidly progressive alveolar bone loss
- early loss of the primary and permanent teeth
describe chediak higashi syndrome
- mutations in CHS1, LYST gene: lysosomal trafficking defect
- partial oculocutaneous albinism: defects in melanin granules
- recurrent pyogenic infections: circulating leukocytes exhibit defective lysosomes, decrease in phagocytosis
- varying neurologic problems: intellectual deficit and dementia
how is chediak higashi syndrome related to periodontal disease
- severe gingival inflammation
- early onset and rapidly progressive alveolar bone loss
- early loss of the primary and permanent teeth
- poor response to dental treatment
what is congenital neutropenia
- mutations in the ELANE (50%), HAX1 (10%) gene
- 1/3 causes remain unknown
- decrease in the number of neutrophils
- ANC less than 500 cells/ul and static
- deficiency in the immune repsonse
- severe and recurrent infections
what is the correlation of congenital neutropenia and periodontal disease
- severe periodontitis is common
- higher risk for tooth loss
- oral ulcers
what are the diseases affecting the oral mucosa and gingival tissue
- epidermolysis bullosa (kindler syndrome)
- ehlers danlos
what is epidermolysis bullosa
- mutation in the fermitin family homologue 1 gene
- lack of integrin activation
- affective keratinocyte adhesion
- can lead to molecular defects in the basement membrane zone
- photosensitivity
- recurrent blister formation
what is ehlers danlos syndrome
- mutations in genes coding fibrillar collagens or enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of these proteins
- affecting collagen production and compositions: mainly involves joints, skins, and walls of blood vessels
- joint hypermobility, skin extesnibiility, and tissue fragility
what is the correlation between ehlers danlos and periodontal disease
- generalized, early onset severe periodontitis, and gingival recession
- early loss of primary and permanent teeth
- generalized lack of attached gingiva
what are the metabolic and endocrine disorders
- hypophosphatasia
- DM
- osteoporosis
what is hypophosphatasia
- alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) gene mutation
- mild and severe forms
- defective cementum, alveolar bone loss, and premature loss of teeth
what is the correlation of hypophosphatasia and periodontal disease
- impaired bone/tooth mineralization
- defects in cementum
- compromised periodontal attachment, reduction in alveolar bone height
- the teeth are not adequately anchored to the alveolar bone via the PDL
what are the oral signs of hypophosphatasia
- exfoliation of the primary dentition before the age of 3
- exfoliation of primary teeth with roots intact
- alveolar bone loss
- loss of permanent teeth with no signs of periodontal inflammation
- enlarged pulp chambers and root canals
- thin dentinal walls
what is DM
- disorder of glucose metabolism
- accumulation of AGEs
- chronic status of elevated blood glucose level
what is the correlation betweeen DM and periodontal disease
- increased prevalance and severity of attachment loss
- multiple periodontal abscess
