Periodontology Flashcards
Perio
gingiva
pdl
cemetum
alveolar bone
gingiva is
keritinized
what category describes most gingivitis?
chronic plaque associated gingivitis
bulbous «>
festooned
where the gingival condition appears to large for the space “squeezed out
bulbous
rounding and enlargement of the gingival margin
life saver
festooned
marginal tissue is not stippled
true
hallmark sign of acute inflammation is
edema
the most obvious result of vasodialtation of the peripheral circulation was edema
true
fibrosis is the hallmark sign of
chronic inflammation
what is the shock absorber for nerve vessels?
PDL
extend interproximally over alveolar crest embedded in cementum of 2 adjacent teeth “ortho:
transseptal fibers
largest and most significant fiber group that extends from cementum coronally to the bone
oblique fiber
with stands masticaory stress in vertical direction
oblique
most prominant cell in the pdl responsible for collagen synthesis and degradation
fibroblasts
cementum is thinnest at the
cej
the main function of cementum is to provide attachment to the collagen fibers presented in the
pdl
crest of the alveolar bone should be
1-2 mm apical to the cej
base of the pocket is coronal to the alveolar bone “all gingival pockets”
suprabony defect
base of pocket is apical to the crest of the alveolar bone
infrabony defect
all gingival pockets are
suprabony defects
pregnancy associated gingivitis and pyogenic granuloma result from
prevotella intermedia and camphylobacter rectus
a healthy periodontium needs vitamin — and —-
c and protien
incubation 1 week, fever, lymphodenopathy and pain
herpes
specific causes of gingival inflammation include open contact and subgingival margins of restorations
true
downward or apical migration of the je
loss of connective tissue attachment
periodontitis
aggressive periodontitis is usually genetic
true
what tooth is most often the first affected regarding periodontitis
max first molar
the most common pathogens involved in aggressive periodontitis is aggregatibacter actinomyucetemcomitans and porhyromas gingivalis
true
deficiency of neutrophils or polymorphonucleur cells are called
neutropenia
most active cells in a perio pocket
PMNS
there is evidence for an association between periodontal inflammation and multiple sclerosis suggesting perio therapy may positively impact ms
true
in patients with no known systemic disease or immune dysfunction NUP appears to share many of the clinical and eitologic characteristics of nug except that patients with NUP
demonstrate loss of CAL and alveolar bone
the microbes most often associated with NUP/ NUG are
spirochetes especially treponema denticola
prevotella intermedia and porphyromonas gingivals
nug and nup tx
tetra
punched out papillae
pseudomembrane
fetid odor
pain sever inflammation
nup/nug
a common lesion that develops exclusively on the gingiva and is characteristically found at the opening of a fistula tract of a periapical infection. it can vary in size and removal of the source of infection through endodontic therpay or tooth extraction
parulis “gum boil”
results when infection spreads deep into periodontal pockets and drainage is blocked food impaction calculus etc may develop after perio debridement
periodontal abscess
a periapical abcess requires a periapical film, a — abcess will not generally show up on a radigraphy
periodontal
stillmans cleft is indicated by — loss of tissue or papilla
stillmans cleft
