Study Guide Flashcards
NUG
Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
Symptoms of NUG
Painful interdental papilla and severe inflammation of the gingiva
Ehlers Danlos syndrome
Heritable disorder of connective tissue
Symptoms of ehlers danlos syndrome
Easy bruising
Joint hyper mobility
Skin laxity
Weakness of tissue
Most significant oral manifestation of ehlers danlos syndrome
Weekly onset generalized periodontitis
Can lead to premature loss of deciduous and permanent teeth
NPD
Necrotizing periodontal disease- an inflammatory destructive infection of periodontal tissues that involve tissue necrosis.
Includes NUG AND NUP
NUP AND NUG
Painful infections with ulcerations, swellings and sloughing of dead epithelial tissue.
NUG
Tissue necrosis limited to gingival tissue
NUP
Tissue necrosis of gingival tissue combined with loss of attachment and alveolar bone
Symptoms of NUP
Extremely rapid bone loss.
Loss of periodontal attachment within days
NPD (necrotizing periodontal disease) will look like what clinically
Punched out or cratered papilla
Ulcerated margin bounded by red halo
Do periodontal pathogens cause periodontal disease?
Not alone—- there must be a host response to cause the loss of attachment and alveolar bone
Secondary occlusal trauma
An unjust as a result of occlusal forces on a tooth or teeth that have previously attachment and/or bone loss
—the periodontitis was unhealthy BEFORE experiencing excessive occlusal forces
What may result as from secondary occlusal traumas
Rapid bone loss and pocket formation
Papillon- lefevre syndrome
Inherited disorder of defective leukocyte chemotaxis.
— is rare.
Symptoms of papillon-lefevre syndrome
Recurrent bacterial and fungal infections
Impaired pus formation
Delayed wound healing
Perio disease begins upon eruption of primary teeth with rapid attachment loss and early tooth loss.
Guidelines for fundamental decision making
- ) does the clinical assessment indicate healthy or inflammatory disease?
- ) If inflammatory disease is present is it gingivitis or periodontitis?
- ) If gingivitis, what type? (Aggressive, localized, etc.)
- if periodontitis, what type?
Master TX plan
Sequential outline of measures to be carried out by dentist, dental hygienist, or patient to eliminate disease and restore a healthy periodontal environment
The master TX plan can be used to
Coordinate and sequence ALL TX and educational measures employed
The master TX plan may not include
TX by the dental hygienist directly, but hygienist must understand how all TX phases contribute to goal
When diagnosing periodontal disease the dental team must document:
- ) diagnostic term (aggressive, chronic perio)
- ) disease severity (slight,moderate, severe)
- ) disease extent
NSP therapy (non surgical periodontal therapy) includes
All non surgical measures used to control gingivitis and periodontitis
-including measures to eliminate local contributing factors
NSP therapy includes all of these
Pt self care education Nutritional counseling Smoking cessation counseling Periodontal debridement Antimicrobial therapy Correction of local risk factors Fluoride therapy Caries control and temp. Restorations Occlusal therapy Minor ortho TX Re-evil of phase 1 therapy
NSP therapy is also referred to as
Initial periodontal therapy
Phase 1 therapy
Bacterial control
Anti infective therapy
During NSP the hygienist must make sure
That the pt understand all TX options
