The Inflammatory Periodontal Lesion Flashcards
- plaque induced
- inflammation (edema/bleeding upon probing)
- no destruction of PDL and bone
- no apical migration of epithelial attachment
Gingivitis
Describe the destruction of PDL and bone and apical migration of epithelial attachment with gingivitis:
No destruction of PDL & bone
No apical migration of epithelial attachment
Epithelial attachment =
junctional epithelium
- plaque-induced
- inflammation (edema/bleeding upon probing)
- destruction of bone
- apical migration of epithelial attachment
Periodontitis
If you stop brushing & flossing will you develop gingivitis?
yes
Keystone pathogens of gingivitis:
p. gingivalis & Agregatibacter actinomycetecomitans
If you stop brushing and flossing and develop gingivitis, start brushing again and have optimal oral hygeine, is the gingivitis reversible?
yes
What are some factors that make someone a susceptible host for periodontitis?
diabetics, smokers, immune conditions
T/F: Not all cases of gingivitis progress to periodontitis
True
In other words, periodontitis is:
- ______ similar to gingivitis
- _____ ( susceptible host)
- Each site is ___ or ____ environment
- A % of affects population experiences _____
- The progression of the disease is probably…
- plaque-induced
- host-related
- individualized or specific
- severe destruction
- ….
Models of disease progression:
- continuous model (1900 -1950s)
- progressive model (1940-1960s)
- Random burst model (1980s-2000s)
Why does periodontal disease start in the posterior teeth?
Due to the gingival col- it creates a perfect valley where bacteria can thrive and the tissue is NON-keratinized
Red complex: (3)
P. gingivalis
T. Forsynthia
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
What model 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 extends vary among sites
Progressive model
What model 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 random areas of disease progression while some areas seem to be unaffected?
Asynchronous multiple burst model (1980s-2000s)
T/F: Maxillary teeth are less susceptible to perio disease than mandibular teeth
false- maxillary teeth more susceptible due to the trifurcated roots
What would be the reason for seeing bone loss progression more severely on the maxillary 2nd molars compared to the mandibular second molar?
The maxillary teeth have trifurcation vs. the bifurcation on the mandibular molars- this trifurcation can make it harder to keep clean
What teeth are least likely to be lost to perio disease?
mandibular canine & mandibular 1st premolar
(because the maxillary canine is right next to the first premolar which has a mesial concavity)
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 Lin e 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 in the gingiva this is a sign of:
stagnant blood flow (chronic inflammation)
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
Anytime the immune system goes out of control, this can result in:
autoimmunity
T cells can differentiate into 2 major forms:
CD4 & CD8
T/F: The innate and adaptive immune system work completely separate
False- the adaptive immune system goes back and helps out the innate immune system and they kinda work together
