Periodontitis as a Manifestation of Systemic Disease Flashcards
Periodontitis can affect the ______
Likewise systemic conditions & disease can affect the _____
rest of body
peridontium
Periodontal diseases & systemic disorders have three common contributing factors including:
- environmental factors
- host factors
- microbial factors
What do we mean by:
“Periodontitis as a manifestation of a systemic disease”
Meaning systemic disease is altering the course of periodontitis
How do systemic disorders result in a loss of periodontal tissues?
- influence periodontal inflammation
- influence the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases
Major impact of systemic diseases on periodontal health:
severe/early-onset periodontitis
Moderate impact of systemic diseases on periodontal health:
- increase prevalence
- no otherwise different clinical presentations of chronic periodontitis
Systemic disorders that have a major impact on the loss of periodontal tissue by influencing periodontal inflammation:
- Genetic disorders
- Acquired immunodeficiency diseases
- Inflammatory diseases
List the categories of genetic disorders (that affect the periodontium):
- diseases associated with immunologic disorders
- diseases affecting the oral mucosa & gingival tissue
- diseases affecting the connective tissues
- metabolic & endocrine disorders
Diseases associated with immunologic disorders (that affect the periodontium):
- down syndrome
- leukocyte adhesion deficiency
- papillon lefevre syndrome
- chediak higashi syndrome
- congenital neutropenia
Down syndrome may also be called:
Trisomy 21 or mongolism
Down syndrome is characterized by:
- characteristic physical appearance
- mental deficiency
- growth retardation
List some physical characteristics associated with Down syndrome:
- small nose, mouth & ears
- slightly bent 5th finger (pinky)
- short, stocky build
- almond-shaped eyes with skin fold covering inner corner
- white spots on colored part of eyes
- flat, round face
What chromosome is affected in Down syndrome?
21st
Describe periodontitis in an individual with Down syndrome:
moderate to severe periodontitis with rapid progression
Describe the progression of periodontist in an individual with down syndrome:
rapid progression
T/F: in an individual with down syndrome, local factors alone explain the severity of periodontal destruction
False- local factors alone FAIL TO EXPLAIN the severity of periodontal destruction
Describe the affects of down syndrome on the immune system:
List some examples: (3)
Intrinsic immune system defects
- poor PMN chemotaxis
- poor phagocytosis
- poor intracellular killing
Caused by a mutation in beta-2 integrin (ITGB2) gene:
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency
What gene is affected in leukocyte adhesion deficiency?
Beta-2 integrin (ITGB2)
In LAD, there is a mutation in Beta-2 integrin (ITFB2), describe what this mutation causes: (2)
- lack of beta-2 integrin mRNA in leukocytes
- low integrin (CD18 or CD15) expression in neutrophils
What happens to the neutrophils in LAD? What does this result in?
Neutrophils are confined to blood vessels resulting in disruption of neutrophil-associated homeostasis
In individuals affected by this disease we often see a history of severe recurrent infection with no pus; leukocytosis is common:
LAD
In individuals with LAD, we often see a history of _____. ______ is common.
Severe recurrent infection but no pus; leukocytosis
Describe the oral manifestations of LAD:
- Severe gingival inflammation
- aute gingival lesions
- early on-set & rapidly progressive alveolar bone loss
- early loss of the primary & permanent teeth
This image shows oral findings in a 6-year old bow with _____. Note diastema, gingival retraction, and partial root exposure with cervical erosions affecting primary dentition. Permanent lower incisors are erupting.
LAD1
Caused by a mutation in the cathepsin C gene (CTSC):
Papillon-Lefévre Syndrome
What gene is mutated in Papillon-Lefévre Syndrome? What chromosome is this located on?
Cathepsin C gene (CTSC); Chromosome 11q14
In Papillon-Lefévre Syndrome, these patients expérience compromised _____ function, resulting in ____.
neutrophil; decreased phagocytosis
