Periodontitis as A Manifestation of Systemic Disease Flashcards
Periodontitis can affect the ____
Likewise, systemic conditions & diseases can affect the ____.
rest of the body; periodontium
Periodontitis is a ____ mediated disease
host-mediated
Periodontitis is a host-mediated disease but can have ____ that alter its course
environmental factors
Periodontal disease and systemic condition 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 system disease is altering the course of peridontitis
How do systemic disorders result in loss of periodontal tissues?
- influence periodontal inflammation
- influence the pathogenesis of periodontal disease
Major impact of systemic diseases on periodontal health:
severe/early-onset periodontitis
Moderate impact of systemic disease on periodontal health:
- increase prevalence
- No otherwise different clinical presentations of chronic periodontitis
Systemic disorders that have a major impact on loss of periodontal tissue by influencing periodontal inflammation include: (3)
- 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 and gingival tissue
- Diseases affecting the CT
- metabolic and 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
- 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
- almond-shape eyes with skin fold covering inner corner
- white spots on colored part of eyes
- flat, round face
What chromosome is affected with Down syndrome?
21st
Describe periodontitis in an individual with Down syndrome:
moderate to severe periodontitis with rapid progression
Describe the periodontitis progression in an individual with Down syndrome:
rapid progression
T/F: In an individual with Down syndrome, local factors alone explained the severity of the periodontal destruction
False- local factors alone FAILED to explain the severity of periodontal destruction
Describe the effects of Down syndrome on the immune system:
List some examples:
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 LAD?
Beta-2 integrin (ITGB2)
In LAD, the mutation in beta-2 integrin (ITGB2) results in: (2)
- lack of beta-2 integrin mRNA in leukocytes
- low integrin (CD18 or CD15) expression on neutrophils
What happens to the neutrophils in leukocyte adhesion deficiency?
neutrophils are confined to the blood vessels (resulting in disruption of neutrophil- associated homeostasis)
In individuals affected by this disease we often see a history of severe recurrent infection but no pus; leukocytosis is common:
LAD
In individuals with LAD, we often see a history of ______. ____ is common
severe infection but no pus; leukocytosis
Describe the oral manifestations of LAD: (4)
- severe gingival inflammation
- acute gingival lesions
- early-onset and rapidly progressive alveolar bone loss
- early loss of primary AND permanent teeth
This image shows oral findings in a 6 year old boy with ___. Note the 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
