26
Q

Informed consent

A

A patients voluntary agreement to proposed TX

27
Q

Pt can only give informed consent after:

A

The pt understands the relevant facts, benefits and risks involved

28
Q

The dental professional must inform the patient of these things before they can make an informed consent

A

1.) recommended TX
2.) alternative TX
3.) the likely consequences of refusing TX.
—in a language the patient understands

29
Q

surgical phase of periodontal therapy includes:

A

Any needed periodontal surgery and placement of dental implants
—by needed for all pt’s

30
Q

Surgical therapy is also called

A

Phase 2.

31
Q

Periodontal maintenance phase includes

A

All measures used by dental team and patients to keep periodontitis from recurring once the inflammatory disease is under control

32
Q

The point of periodontal maintenance phase is to:

A

Maintain functioning teeth throughout life and may be needed for there rest of a pts life

33
Q

Difference in periodontitis and gingivitis

A

Clinical loss of attachment (in periodontitis)

34
Q

Signs of periodontal disease:

A

Can be observed and are measurable by the clinician

35
Q

Symptoms of periodontal disease:

A

Features noticed by the patient

36
Q

Hidden signs of inflammation:

A

Signs that are not visible just by looking in the patients mouth.

37
Q

Hidden signs of inflammation include:

A
  1. ) bone loss
  2. ) purulence (exudate)
  3. ) bleeding on probing
38
Q

Informed refusal:

A

A pt has the right to refuse all TX or a portion of the proposed TX
—pt always has the right to refuse proposed periodontal care.

39
Q

Questions hygienist can ask to make patients ask more about their care.

A

Open ended exchange of info and non direct questions (not just yes or no)

  1. ) what more would you like to know?
  2. ) what are your concerns?
  3. ) what is your next question?
40
Q

Chediak-higashi syndrome:

A

Inherited disorder of immune and nervous systems.

—rare

41
Q

Symptoms of chediak-higashi syndrome

A

Pale colored hair,eyes and skin

Prone to severe periodontitis

42
Q

Familial and cyclic neutropenia

A

Hereditary and congenital disorder affecting bone marrow

43
Q

Symptoms of familial and cyclic syndrome

A

Severe periodontal destruction at a young age

Abnormally low levels of neutrophils.

44
Q

Down syndrome:

A

Caused by error in cell destruction w: additional 3rd chromosome.
1 in 691 children born with DS.
Mild/moderate cognitive effects

45
Q

Most common genetic condition

A

Down syndrome

46
Q

Symptoms of Down syndrome

A

Early onset periodontal disease
Substantial plaque biofilm formation
Deep perio pockets
Extensive gingival inflammation

47
Q

Periodontal disease strongly associated with HIV infection

A

Classified as linear gingival erythema (LGE) but used to be known as HIV associated gingivitis

48
Q

symptoms of LGE

A
  • 2-3 mm band of intense erythema in the free gingiva
  • May extend into attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa.
  • may be localized to 1-2 teeth but it’s more common to be generalized.
49
Q

Cytokines

A

Recruit PMN’s and macrophages to infection site and increase vascular permeability
-have potential to initiate tissue destruction and bone loss.

50
Q

Cytokines are associated with

A

Interleukin 1,6,8 and tumor necrosis factor beta.

51
Q

Prostaglandins

A

Increase permeability leading to redness and edema of connective tissue.
—can trigger osteoclasts

52
Q

What initiates most of alveolar bone destruction

A

Prostaglandins

53
Q

MMP’s (matrix metalloprotenases)

A

—In absence of disease: facilitate normal turnover of periodontal connective tissue matrix
—in presence of chronic bacterial infection: large amounts released to kill invading bacteria, resulting in enhanced breakdown of connective tissue and periodontium.

54
Q

Increased levels of MMP’s will cause

A

Extensive collagen destruction
