The Inflammatory Periodontal Lesion Flashcards
- Plaque-induced
- Inflammation (edema/bleeding upon probing)
- No destruction of PDL & bone
- No apical migration of epithelial attachment
Gingivitis
Describe the destruction of PDL and bone and apical migration of epithelial attachment associated with gingivitis:
No destruction of PDL & bone
No apical migration of epithelial attachment
Epithelial attachment =
Junctional epithelium
- Plaque-indued
- Inflammation (edema/bleeding upon probing)
- Destruction of bone
- Apical migration of epithelial attachment
- Not all cases of gingivitis progress to periodontitis
Periodontitis
If you stop brushing & flossing will you develop gingivitis?
yes
Keystone pathogen of gingivitis:
p. Gingivalis & Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
If you stop brushing and flossing and develop gingivitis, and then you resume brushing and flossing with optimal oral hygiene, is the gingivitis reversible?
Yes
What determines if a case of gingivitis will progress to peridontitis?
the susceptibility of the host
What are some factors that result in a susceptible host in terms of gingivitis progressing to periodontitis?
- smoker
- diabetes
- immune conditions
T/F: Not all cases of gingivitis progress to peridontisis
True
In other words periodontitis is:
- _____ similar to gingivitis
- _____ (susceptible host)
- Each site is ____ or ____ environment
- A % of the affected population experiences _____
- The progression of the disease is probably..
- Plaque-induced
- Host-related
- individualized or specific
- severe destruction
- ….
Why does periodontal disease start in the posterior teeth?
Due to the gingival col-
it creates a perfect valley where bacteria can thrive
What bacteria are in the red complex?
- P. Gingivalis
- Tanerella Forsyth..
- T. Denticola
The red complex species are associated with:
- bleeding upon probing
- progressive bone loss
- progressive attachment loss
What model of disease progression states “ continuous through life at same rate of loss”
Continuous model (1900-1950s)
What model of disease progression coincides with the following example:
“everyone gets perio disease”
continuous model
What model of disease progression states:
- progressive loss over time of some sites
- no destruction in others
- time of onset and extent may vary among sites
progressive model (1940-1960s)
What model of disease progression coincides with the following example:
“Periodontal disease affects mainly posterior teeth”
progressive model
What model of disease progression tends to fit best when there are radome areas of disease progression while some areas tend to be unaffected?
Asynchronous multiple burst model (1980-2000s)
What would be a reason for seeing bone loss progress more severely on the maxillary 2nd molar compared to the mandibular 2nd molar?
The maxillary teeth have a trifurcation vs. the bifurcation on the mandibular molars- this trifurcation can make it harder to keep clean
T/F: Maxillary teeth are less susceptible to perio disease than the mandibular teeth
False- maxillary teeth are more susceptible due to trifurcated roots
Which teeth are the least likely to be lost to periodontal disease?
Mandibular canine & mandibular 1st premolar
This is because the bone is more dense in the mamdinular in addition to the maxillary canine being next to the maxillary first premolar which has a mesial concavity leading to collateral damage)
Signs of inflammation: (5)
- rubor (redness)
- calor (heat)
- dolor (pain)
- tumor (swelling)
- functio laesa (loss of function)
When there is an insult to the body- the first line of defense is ______ and the body sends these players to the area by ____
WBCs (neutrophils)
Dilation of blood vessels
Inflammation is a ____ phenomenon
vascular
When you see purplish change of color in inflammation this is a sign of ______ and is due to _____
chronic inflammation; blood flow is stagnant
What type of cells are the “migrators” in inflammation?
Leukocytes
Signs of vasculitis in an inflammatory response include:
- dilation
- venous stasis (congestion)
- increased permeability (transudate & exudate)
List some examples of innate immunity:
- skin
- saliva
- gingival crevicular fluid
Any time the immune system goes out of control this can result in:
autoimmunity
T cells can differentiate into two forms:
CD4
CD8
T/F: The innate & adaptive immune system work completely separately
False- they work together
Two individuals with:
- same plaque
-same amounts of bacteria - same species of bacteria
One person develops periodontitis and the other does not. Why might this be?
Due to the host immune response differing
(one may have a heightened response compared to the other)
