Sweep 2 Flashcards
Most common breakdown enzyme
MMP - break down collagen.
Largest size implant
5mm - need 1mm all the way around with 2 mm on each side.
Localized CAL in
first molars/incisors (at least 1 first molar must be affected).
Distribution: no more than 2 teeth other than first molars and incisors are affected .
: AT least 3 permanent teeth other than
1st molars & incisors.
P gingivalis inhibits
Inibits IL-8: ↓ chemotaxis of PMNs
P gingivalis
Proteinases: Gingipains, Collagenases
LPS: activates cells to produce PGs, IL-1β, TNF-α
LAP host responses
Impaired neutrophil function (chemotaxis and phagocytosis.)
Significantly higher levels of prostaglandin E2 in GCF.
Antibody against A.a is extremely high(Levels in sulcus fluid higher than in peripheral blood)
High titers and high avidity of IgG2 in LAP.
Low levels of Ab against P.g in GAP patients .
Ascorbic acid-deficiency gingivitis
Malnourished individuals have a compromised host defense system which may make individuals susceptible to infectious diseases
The precise role of nutrition in periodontal diseases remains to be elucidated.
Human studies have failed to show a relationship between nutrition and periodontal diseases
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (types IV & VIII)
autosomal ———– hereditary disorder
dominant
aggressive periodontitis (primary and permanent dentitions); fragility of gingiva, excessive hemorrhage
NPD advanced lesion
Lack of deep pockets
Merging of papillary and marginal involvement
Characteristic foetor
Central necrosis results in crater formation
Involvement of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone (NUG NUP)
NUP
Involvement of palatal mucosa —->
necrotizing stomatitis
NUP
Involvement of
regional lymph nodes
Predictive Value Positive (PVP)
The probability of disease in a subject with a positive test result
PVP = Pr(D+/T+)
A/A+B (yes for positive/ yes+ yes for neg)
Predictive Value Negative (PVN)
The probability of not having the disease when the test is negative
PVN = Pr(D-/T-)
D/C+D (no/no+no for yes)
Thrush
Candida albicans Acquired during birth Pseudomembranous / erosive lesions Predisposing conditions -Antibiotics -Immunosuppression -Malnutrition -HIV -Diabetes
Lichen Planus
Oral involvement alone is common. Premalignant potential (0.5-2%). Characteristic skin lesions (Wickham striae). Varied clinical appearances. Any area of the oral mucosa
Lichen planus
Subepithelial band-like accumulation of lymphocytes
characteristic of a type IV hypersensitivity reaction.
Fibrin in the basement membrane.
Deposits of IgM, C3, C4, and C5.
Pemphigoid
Autoantibody reactions against hemidesmosome and lamina lucida components.
Detachment of the epithelium from the connective tissue.
Complement-mediated cell destructive processes may be involved in the pathogenesis.
Pemphigus
Formation of ——– in skin and mucous membranes.
Strong genetic background (Jewish and Mediterranean)
Painful desquamative lesions, erosions or ulcerations.
Chronic course with recurrent bulla formation
intraepithelial bullae
Canthus layer- another name for
stratum spinosum
Acantholysis-breakdown of the
spinous bridges
Periapical cemental dysplasia:
Fibrous-osseous cemental lesions.
Tooth is usually vital.
Usually no symptoms.
Periapical bone is replaced by cellular fibroblastic tissue through a cementoblastic phase.
Differential diagnosis: Cemento-ossifying fibroma and fibrous dysplasia.
Herpes zoster-
Latent in the dorsal root ganglion.
- Unilateral lesions. - 2nd and 3rd branch of the trigeminal ganglion
Linear gingival erythema-
- Distinct linear erythematous band limited to the free gingiva.
- Lack of bleeding.
Positive for C.albicans by culture:
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis-
Possible mechanism(s):
TGF-beta1 favor the accumulation of ECM.
May be located on chromosome 2 in human.
Lupus erythematosus-
Autoimmune connective tissue disorders in which autoantibodies form to various cellular constituents.
Central atrophic area with small white dots surrounded by irradiating fine white striae with a periphery of telangiectasia
(vascular lesion formed by dilatation of a group of small blood vessels).
Lesions can be ulcerated and cannot be differentiated from leukoplakia or atrophic oral lichen planus.
Together with characteristic skin lesions (butterfly).
Fibroma/ focal fibrous hyperplasia:
► Differential diagnosis:
Giant cell fibroma.
Often reddish and ulcerated reactive lesion
Fibrous proliferation in which bone- or cementum
like hard tissue is formed
► Highly cell-rich areas below ulcerated sites.
Calcified fibroblastic granuloma:
Calcified fibroblastic granuloma:
►Differential diagnosis:
Pyogenic granuloma
► Ulcerated (may resemble purulence).
► gingival margin.
► Reddish or bluish, sometimes lobulated, sessile or pedunculated. Bleeding is common.
► Highly vascular with chronic inflammatory cells.
Pyogenic granuloma:
