Unit 12 - Etiologic Factors: Risk for Periodontal Disease Flashcards
What are the additional factors that cause some people to be susceptible to develop peridontal disease?
Heredity
Systemic diseases
Medications
Habits
Social atmosphere
Periodontal pathogens
What periodontal pathogens cause a person to be more susceptible to develop periodontal disease?
A. actinomycetemcomitans
Tannerella forsythia
Porphyromonas gingivalis
What heredity issues cause a person to be more susceptible to develop periodontal disease?
Immune deficiency
Genetic diseases
What habits cause a person to be more susceptible to develop periodontal disease?
Self-care (plaque control)
Professional care
Smoking
Alcohol
Diet
What aspects of social atmosphere cause a person to be more susceptible to develop periodontal disease?
Family / up-bringing
Culture
Socioeconomic factors
Access to dental care
Dental insurance
What are the non-modifiable risk factors of periodontal disease?
Socioeconomic status
Genetics
Adolescence
Pregnancy
Age
Leukemia
What are the two categories of modifiable risk factors of periodontal disease?
Aquired
Anatomical
What are the acquired modifiable factors of periodontal disease?
Plaque
Calculus
Partial dentures
Open contacts
Overhanging restorations
What are the anatomical modifiable risk factors of periodontal disease?
Malpositioned teeth
Furcations
Root grooves and concavities
Enamel pearls
What are the modifiable systemic risk factors for periodontal disease?
Smoking
Diabetes
Poor diet
Certain medications
Stress
Nutrition
Alcohol
Obesity
Ture or False: emerging new results indicate chronic inflammation plays a significant role in periodontal disease.
True
What conditions is chronic inflammation present in?
CVD
Diabetes
Cancer
Alzheimer’s
Renal disase
Rheumatoid arthritis
Periodontal disease
Today’s disease of influence are linked by
Inflammatory pathways
What is the most common chronic inflammatory disease known to man?
Periodontal disease
What is the state of balance in the body known as homeostatis, also called?
Biologic equilibrium
For the perdiontium to remain healthy, the bacterial challenge must be
Contained at a level tolerated by the host
Periodontal disease results when
The balance is changed between pathogenic bacteria and the host’s inflammatory and immune responses
What are the two types of risk factors?
Local
Systemic
True or False: in people with low susceptibility to periodontitis, gingivitis may never progress to periodontitis.
True
Clinical risk assessment for periodontal disease includes
Demographic data
Medical history
Dental history
Clinical examination
What does demographic data include for the risk assessment?
Self care
Exposure to risk factors
What does medical history include for the risk assessment?
Disease
Smoking
Genetic predisposition
What does dental history include for risk assessment?
Frequency of care
Previous periodontal disease
What does clinical examination include for risk assessment?
Biofilm
Clinical attachment loss
BOP
Calculus
Restorations
How can the situation be thought of as a balancing scale?
With disease promoting factors on one side of the scale and health promoting factors on the other side. If the two sides are in balance, there will be no disease progression
