Study Guide Flashcards
Disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin
Diabetes mellitus
How many types of diabetes is there
three
Type I diabetes
5% to 10% and caused by damage to the pancreas
Type II diabetes
90% to 95% and develops when the body does not make enough insulin
Gestational
occurs during pregnancy
If someon has well-controlled diabetes do they have more periodontal disease then someone without diabetes?
No
Goal for most individuals with diabetes is a glucose level of?
less than 7%
High susceptibility to infection occurs when the glucose level is
Above 8%
Target range for diabetes
80 to 120 mg/dL
Increased risk of infection for diabetes
180-300 mg/dL
Unacceptable range of diabetes
greater than 300 mg/dL
People with undiagnosed or uncontrolled diabetes
more likely to have periodontal disease
Signs in the gingiva of Leukemia - Associated Gingivits
Swollen, glazed, spongy tissues
Red to deep purple in color
Gingival enlargement is occasionally seen
Manifestations of HIV infection in the gingiva were formerly known as
HIV - associated gingivitis
What is the current designation for manifestations of HIV infections in the gingiva
linear gingival erythema
2 to 3 mm marginal band of intense redness in the free gingiva
linear gingival erythema
Increased levels of sex hormones during puberty cause increased blood circulation to the gingival tissues
pubertal gingivitis
The likelihood of gingival inflammation increasing during pregnancy when?
second and third trimesters
Gingival inflammation intiated by plaque biofilms, and exacerbated by hormonal changes in the second and third trimesters if pregnancy
pregnancy gingivitis
clinical appearance of pregnancy gingivitis
Gingival tissue may be edematous and dark red, with bulbous interdental papillae
Some cases pyogenic granuloma
Clinical features of pubertal gingivitis
Accumulation of plaque biofilm
Red, inflamed, swollen gingival tissues; bleeding upon probing
Reversible with meticulous daily self care; reversible following puberty
Can radiographs show early bone loss?
No
Structures absorb or resist the passage of x-rays appear light gray to white
radiopaque
Thin white line on radiograph
Crestal bone
When the CEJs of adjacent teeth are of the same level, the crest of the interproximal bone will have a
horizontal contour
When one of the adjacent teeth is tilted or erupted to a different height, the crest of the interproximal bone will have a
vertical contour
Appears as a continuous white line around the tooth root
lamina dura
bone destruction parallel to a line between CEJs of adjacent teeth
horizontal bone loss
greater bone loss on the interproximal aspect of one tooth than on the adjacent tooth
vertical bone loss
Even though bone loss occurs on all surfaces, radiographs are not able to show the extent on the
facial and lingual surfaces
Provides a radiograph that is more anatomically accurate compared with other intraoral techniques such as bisecting angle
Long cone parallel technique
What kind of image does radiographs makes
2D
Can periodontal disease activity be seen on radiographs?
No
Is aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans associated with gingivitis?
No
These types of deposits may be visible on radiographs
Large interproximal calculus
Ability to visualize calculus on radiographs depends on what
Degree of mineralization and angulation of the x-ray beam
Large facial and lingual deposits may be visible on a radiograph is
there is severe bone loss on these surfaces
