Q

why is smoking a risk factor of periodontitis

A

poor healing capacity - reduced blood flow
chemicals in smoke activate immune cells

54
Q

what effect does suboptimal diabetes control have on periodontitis development - 3

A

in hyperglycaemia production of advanced glycation end products (AGE) increases

leads to exacerbation of inflammation - production of pro inflammatory cytokines and destructive metalloproteinases

RANKL:OPG ratio is altered leading to alveolar bone destruction

56
Q

Q

what is neutropenia

A

reduced number and function of neutrophils
and macrophages
increasing risk of NUG and periodontitis

58
Q

what is leukaemia

reduced number and function of neutrophils and macrophages
increasing risk of NUG and periodontitis

59
Q

modifiable systemic risk factors of periodontitis

A

smoking
poor controlled diabetes
stress
osteoporosis
HIV

60
Q

why is stress a risk factor for periodontal disease

A

secretion of cortisol stimulates immune system and ANS
leading to secretion of catecholamine and substance P
regulates immune inflammatory response
affects bacterial adherence and growth

can cause suppression of the immune system which tips
host-bacterial interaction in favour of bacteria

61
Q

what health issues is periodontitis a risk factor of

A

CV disease - atherosclerosis and hypertension
preeclampsia

62
Q

how does diabetes contribute to increased inflammation in periodontitis

A

increased production of AGEs (advanced glycation end products) which leads to activation of local immune and inflammatory responses

results in periodontal tissue damage and resorption of bone

circulating bacteria causes inflammatory state and elevates HbA1c and causes impaired insulin signalling and resistance

normal attachment levels, normal bone levels, and excessive occlusal force(s).

71
Q

how does healthy periodontium respond to occlusal trauma

A

PDL width increases
tooth mobility increases as result
this is regarded physiological and successful adaptation

72
Q

how does healthy periodontium respond to excessive occlusal trauma

A

PDL width continues to increase
PDL width and tooth mobility do not stabilise
failure to adaptation - pathological

73
Q

injury resulting in tissue changes from normalor excessive occlusalforces applied to a tooth or teeth with reducedperiodontal support.

occurs in presence of attachment loss, bone loss and normal or excessive forces

74
Q

what is fremitus

A

palpable or visible movement of a tooth when subjected to occlusal forces

75
Q

what is bruxism
