TEST 2 Flashcards
3 things a clinician should be able to do to manage perio disease
Diagnose accurately
Predict effect of systemic status of disease
Confirm prediction with assessment of therapeutics
4 systemic factors that can modify gingival diseases
Endocrine system
Blood dyscrasias
Medications
Nutrition
Endocrine events that can cause gingivitis
Puberty
Menstruation
Pregnancy (gingivitis and pyogenic granuloma)
Diabetes
Blood dyscrasia that can cause gingival disease
How to limit severity
Leukemia (acute)
Reduce dental plaque
2 ways medications can modify gingival diseases
Gingival enlargement
Oral contraceptive gingivitis
Nutrition deficiency that can cause gingival disease
Ascorbic acid-deficiency
Clinical signs of chronic (adult) periodontitis
Pocket formation Loss of attachment Bleeding/suppuration Bone loss Tooth mobility and drifting
_ is a frequent finding in chronic perio
Subgingival calculus
Chronic perio is classified by _ and _
Extent and severity
3 common features of aggressive perio
Systemically healthy
Rapid attachment loss and bone destruction
Familial aggregation
Aggressive perio often has elevated levels of what two bacteria
A. a
P. Gingivalis
White cell abnormalities secondary to aggressive perio
Phagocyte abnormalities
Hyper-responsive macrophage (high PGE2 and IL-1B)
Localized aggressive periodontitis
Onset
Response to infecting agents
Presentation where?
Circumpubertal onset
Robust serum antibody response
Localized first molar/incisor presentation
Generalized aggressive perio usually affects who
People under 30
Serum antibody response in GAP vs. LAP
LAP - robust serum antibody response
GAP - poor response
In GAP, destruction of attachment and bone is _
Episodic
Periodontitis is associated with what two types of disorders
Hematologic
Genetic
The two types of Necrotizing periodontal disease are
NUG - necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
NUP - Necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis
Clinical signs of NPD
Early
Advanced
Early - necrotic lesion on papilla first, then moving to gingival margin. Punched out appearance. Spontaneous bleeding.
Advanced - lack deep pockets, papillary and margin lesions merge, stinks, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone
NUP is typically seen in who
Severely immunocompromised people (HIV)
4 characteristics of periodontal health
Functional dentition
Painless function
Stability of periodontal apparatus
Psychological and social well being
5 values in assessing inflammation
Color Texture/edema Bleeding Exudate Plaque
Plaque index
Amount of plaque at gingival margin

Perio screening and recording
Rapid and effective way to screen and summarizes necessary info
Early detection, speed, simple, cheap, risk management
Not the same as a comp. perio exam, adults only
