Sweep 2.1 Flashcards
Iron can increase outer membrane protein expression in
P.gingivalis
S.cristatus can inhibit
fimA expression
• Critical probing depth (Lindhe) -
probe depths less than which root planing will cause attachment loss (2.9mm)
Gram-negative Anaerobic Helical-shaped Highly motile microorganisms 1st identified in ANUG Several different species, hard to distinguish
Treponema denticola
Gram-negative Short, round-ended rod Anaerobic Black pigmented Bacteriodes Luxuriant growth in naphthoquinone Associated with puberty/ pregnancy gingivitis (Kornman and Loesche) Elevated in NUG
Prevotella intermedia/ nigrescens
CaH(PO4) x 2 H2O= Brushite (B)
Basis for supragingival calculus formation
Seen in recent (<2 week old) calculus
Ca4H(PO4)3 x2H2O= Octa calcium phosphate (OCP)
Predominant in exterior layers
Forms platelet like crystals
Ca5 (PO4)3 xOH= Hydroxyapatite (HA)
Predominant in inner layers of old calculus
Forms rod or sand-grain like crystals
-Ca3 (PO4)2 = Whitlockite (W)
Most common form in subgingival calculus
Hexagonal crystals
Used primarily to detect serum antibodies to periodontal pathogens Membrane immunoassay (EvalusiteTM): chairside use to detect Aa, Pg, and Pi (detection limit of 105 for Aa and 106 for Pg)
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
Based on the binding of protein to latex: latex beads are coated with species-specific antibody
Currently these assays only for research purposes
- Latex agglutination
released during tissue destruction (cell death)
- Aspartate amino-transferase:
a membrane-bound glycoprotein involved in maintenance of alveolar bone
- Alkaline phosphatase:
a lysosomal enzyme degrades proteoglycans and ground substance
- β-glucuronidase:
β-glucuronidase (βG)
Elevated βG in GCF from sites with severe periodontal disease
High sensitivity and specificity when related to occurrence of clinical attachment loss
Good predictor for future periodontal breakdown
a proteolytic enzyme found in lysosomal granules of neutrophil
- Elastase:
Peri-implantitis:
Inflammatory reactions associated with loss of supporting bone around an implant in function
Ulceration covered by a yellowish – white or grayish slough which is termed “Pseudo membrane”.
A sign of
NUG
Necrosis of epithelium and superficial layers of the connective tissue.
Hyperemic CT with engorged capillaries and dense infiltrations of PMNs.
Histopath of NPD
3 commonly used drug types that are associated with
gingival overgrowth:
Anticonvulsants (Phenytoin sodium or epinutin)
Immunosuppressant (Cyclosporin A)
Calcium channel blocking agents (Nifedipine).
Scores: 0 to 3; bleeding is considered.
Presence of bleeding automatically leads to a score ≥2
Frequently used index in clinical trials
First published by Löe (1961) and Löe & Silness (1963
Gingival Index (GI) Loe Silness:
Gingival index
0 -normal
1 - mild inflam, slight color change and edema, no bleeding
2 - moderate inflam, redness, edema, bleeds on probing
3 - severe inflam, marked redness and edema, ulceration, spontaneous bleeding
Spontaneous bleeding
Brushing
Eating
Blood on my pillow
Plaque index - 0
No plaque
Plaque index - 1
1- A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may be seen only by using the probe on the tooth surface.
Plaque index - 2
2- Moderate accumulation of soft deposit s within the gingival pocket, or the tooth and gingival margin which can be seen with the naked eye.
Plaque index - 3
3- Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the tooth and gingival margin.
Periodontal Screening and Recording (PSR) - 1
- no calculus, BOP
Colored are avisible
PSR - 2
Calc, maybe BOP
Colored are avisible
PSR - 3
Colored are apartially visible
w/or w/o BOP, Calc
PSR 4
colored area not visible
w or w/o BOP, Calc
PSR
1 4, goes to full perio eval.
2 sectants get 3s, go full perio eval.
O’Leary index
Disclose, rinse, then count red surfaces
When recession causes symptoms Caries Esthetic concerns Progressive recession Sensitivity Subgingival restoration margins on thin biotype Pre-orthodontic therapy Final tooth position will be buccal
Recommend gingival grafts
Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S)
Purpose
To assess oral cleanlines by estimating the tooth surface covered with debris and/or calculus
Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S)
Components
Simplified Debris Index
Simplified Calculus Index
Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S)
Tooth selection
Facial surfaces of # 3, 8, 14, 24
Lingual surface of # 19, 30
Literally just measuring plaque - 0-3, going up the tooth in terms of plaque coverage.
Plaque Index (PlI)
The PlI assesses the amount of plaque at the gingival margin, examining the same anatomical units as the GI
Plaque scores range from {0} to {3}
A probe is used to distinguish between scores {0} and {1}. Visible plaque is scored a {2} or a {3}
The Pl-I is computed for a tooth, subject, or population
It parallels the Gingival Index (GI) of Löe & Silness
