Spectrum of Perio Disease Flashcards
chronic periodontitis
what level in pedigree?
characterized by?
**II
infectious disease resulting in inflammation within the supporting tissues of the teeth, progressive attachment loss and bone loss
characterized by pocket formation and or gingival recession
variable in age and severity
most frequently occurring form of periodontitis
primary etological factor for periodontitis?
PLAQUE – initiator but HOST RESPONSE (inflammation mounted) are responsible for the MAJORITY of the loss we are seeing
clinical features and characteristics of chronic gingivitis?
what is a frequent finding in chronic periodontitis?
amount of destruction is consistent with the presence of local factors
slow to moderate rate of progression but can have periods of rapid progression
subgingival calculus is a common finding
most prevelant in adults, but can occur in children and adolescents
severity / destruction of perio is consitant with what?
the presence of local factors
how is chronic perio modified? what can it be associated with?
associated with – local predisposing factors (tooth -related or iatrogenic factors)
- modified/associated with systemic diseases like diabetes or HIV infection
- factors like smoking and emotional stress can also modify this
biggest environmetnal factor for perio?
SMOKING
Extent and severity in chronic perio characterized by what two things?
localized or generalized
localized?
if less than or equal to 30% of sites affected
generalized
if more than 30% of the sites are affected
refractory perio or recurrent perio?
cannot separate these but recurrent = represents a return of periodontitis and is NOT a separate disease entity
refractory = for identifiable and non-identifiable reasons, bot all cases of perio have successful tx outcomes
severity is categorized by?
basis of the amount of clinical attachment loss
levels of CAL
correlated to?
correlated to the CEJ
slight = 1- 2mm of CAL
moderate = 3-4 mm of CAL
severe = >or equal to 5mm CAL
aggressive perio AKA
early-onset perio
describe localized aggressive perio
*attachment loss usually in first molar and incisor
- circumpubertal onset
- robust serum antibody response to infecting agent s
- localized first molar/incisor presentation with interproximal attachment loss on at least two permanent teeth, one of which is a first molar, and involving no more than two teeth other than first molars and incisors
generalized aggressive perio
- usually affecting persons under 30 yesrs of age, but patients may be older
- poor serum antibody response to infecting agents
- pronounced episodic nature of the destruction of attachment and alveolar bone
- generalized interproximal attachment loss affecting at least three permanentn teeth other than first molars and incisors
category of aggressive perio?
Category III
aggressive perio term replaces what?
early onset periodontal disease / localized juvenile/ generalized juvenile
what separates aggressive perio from chronic?
- except for presence of periodonitis; patients are otherwise clinically healthy in aggressive
- rapid attachment loss and bone destrcution
- familial aggregation
secondary aggressive perio features
- microbial deposits are inconsistent with severity of perio tissue destruction
- elevated levels of AGGREGATIBACTOR ACTINOMYCETEMCOMITANS and in some populations porphyromonas gingivalis may be elevated
- phagocyte abnormalities
- hyper-responsive macrophage phenotype including elevated levels of PGE2 and IL-1b
- progression of attachment loss and bone loss may be self-arresting
primary ‘culprite’ for localized aggressive perio?
elevated levels of AGGREGATIBACTOR ACTINOMYCETEMCOMITANS and in some populations porphyromonas gingivalis may be elevated
T/F all characterisitcs must be present to asign a diagnosis or classify the disease?
FALSE
- diagnosis may be based on clinical, radiographic, and historical data
category IV is?
periodontitis as a MANIFESTATION OF SYSTEMIC DISEASE
- usually cannot mount a response to the bacteria present and destruction is due to bacteria having ‘free range’
3 characteristics/groups of perio as manifestation of systemic disease
A) associated with hemtological disorders
B) Associated with Genetic disorders
C) non-otherwise specified
Associated with hematological/ blood disorders in perio as manifestation of systemic disease
- acquired neutropenia
- leukemia
- other
acquired neutropenia
lower white blood cells so low levels of PMN’s and are first responders - so if do not have bacteria invade
rare and is an autoimmune against neutrophil-specific
Leukemia
white blood cells are immature
so immature cells cannot manifest response
ulceration and necrosis
what is common between all these?
all have or are characterized as severe periodontitis – manifestations same
perio associated with genetic disorders?
look at slide and know these manifest the same but causes are different
normal neutrophil cound
5000-10,000 cells/mm3
neutropenia level od wbc’s
less than 2,000 cells/mm3
agranulocytosis level
less than 500 cells/mm3
Leukpocyte Adhesion Deficinecy
not producing the adhesion but have plenty of white blood cells - cant deal with bacterial inection
Trisomy 21
associated with severe periodontitis
Papillon Lefevre syndorm
palmar/ plantar keratosis – LARGE calices that form on hands and feet and severe periodontal destruction and starts in primary and can effect the permanent
familial chronic benign neutropenia
disroder of inheretence in decreased neutrophul count, but overall low risk of infection
cyclic neutropenia
disease of unknown etilogy characterized by a regular 7-day period of depressed neutrophil count
oral manifestations of congenital neutropenias include?
oral mucosa ulceration, severe gingivitis, and periodontitis that can affect both primary and permanent dentitions, leading to premature exfoliation of teeth
Ehler’s danlos syndrome
types that are susceptible to perio?
connective tissue disorder that are characterized by defective collagen synthesis
articular hypermobility, dermal hyperplasticity, and widespread tissue fragility
types IV and VIII have increased
- fragile oral mucosa and blood vessels
- clinical appearance of generalized early-onset periodontitis, leading to premature loss of permanent teeth
category V?
necrotizing periodontal disease
breakdown of necrotizing periodontal disease?
- nectrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG)
- Necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis (NUP)
decrease in host response
only difference is difference b/w gingivitis and perio
- loss of attachment levels differs
general description of necrotizing periodontal disease
acute, necrotizing (causing tissue death), ulcerating (causing open sores) form of gingivitis
also causes pain in the affected ares
fever and fatigue may be present
pain can become very bad and eating and swallowing become difficult - inflammation and infection can spread to nearby tissues of the face and neck
main cause of necrotizing periodontal disease
1. frequent poor oral hygeine = main cause also - stress - unbalance diet - lack of sleep
are NUG and NUP separate disease categories?
NO
only difference b/w NUG and NUP?
NUG - limited to gingiva
NUP- there is attachemnt apparatus loss
describe NUP
see attachment loss **
describe NUG
- gingival necrosis presenting as ‘punched-out’ papillae with gingival bleeding and pain
bad breathe and pseudomembrane formationo can be present
describe NUG
- gingival necrosis presenting as ‘punched-out’ papillae with gingival bleeding and pain
bad breathe and pseudomembrane formation can be present
fusiform bacteria, prevotella intermedia, and spirochetes have been associated with gingival lesions
predisposing factors = emotional stress, poor diet, cigarette smoking and HIV infection
describe NUP
see attachment loss **
necrosis of gingival tissues, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone
these lesions are most commonly observed in individuals with systemic conditions like HIV infection, severe malnutrition, and immunonsupression
could be result or sequel of single or multiple episodes of NUG or may be result of the occurence of necrotizing disease at a previously periodontitis-affected site
category VI?
Periodontal Abscess
Periodontal Abscess
- primarily based on location of the infection
- can be associated with pain, swelling, color change, tooth mobility, extrusion, purulence, sinus tract formation, fever, radiolucency to affected bone, lymphadenopathy
