Q

tissue-associated plaque biofilms

A

bacteria that adhere to the epithelium
example: spirochetes and flagellated and gram negative cocci and rods
- Streptococcus oralis, S. intermedius, porphyromonas gingivalis, pevotella intermedia, tannerella forsythia, fusobacterium nucleatum

22
Q

unattached bacteria

A

periodontal pocket also contains free-floating unattached bacteria

23
Q

Non-specific plaque hypothesis

A

the accumulation of bacterial biofilms lead to periodontal disease (historical)

24
Q

specific plaque hypothesis

A

the specific pathogenic bacteria and their products in the biofilm lead to periodontal disease (historical)
- Orange and red complexes - major etiologic agents of periodontal disease
- Yellow, green, blue, and purple complexes - compatible with gingival health

25
Q

ecological plaque hypothesis

A

accumulation of nonspecific bacteria tiggers the host inflammatory response which alters the local environment

26
Q

microbial homeostasis - host response hypothesis

A

although they cause inflammatory response leading to gingivitis, the pathogenic bacteria are not direct cause of destruction of tissues seen in periodontitis

27
Q

keystone pathogen - host response hypothesis

A

expands on other theory: that a specific bacterial species is key in creating the shift from symbiotic microbes to dysbiotic microbes in the biofilm community. In turn, the dysbiotic biofilm community triggers the uncontrolled host response that results in damage to the periodontal tissues

28

38
Q

aerobic, anaerobic, facultative anaerobic

A

aerobic - need O
anaerobic - cant live with O
Facultative - can exist with or without O

39
Q

Formation time lines:

A

minutes - free floating attach
2-4 hours - strongly attached micro colonies
6-12 hours - produce matrix
2-4 days - fully mature biofilm colonies recover from disruption

40
Q

Blocking-protective matrix

A

prevents large molecules and inflammatory cells from penetrating deeply into biofilm

41
Q

mutual protection

A

antibiotic resistant Bactria secrete protective enzymes to protect neighbouring bacteria

42
Q

5 stages of polymicrobial biofilm formation

A

1) initial attachment to pellicle
2) permanent attachment
3) maturation phase I
4) maturation phase II
5) dispersion

43
Q

Stage 1: Initial attachment

A
  • Pellicle composed of glycoproteins and antibodies (always there)
  • Protects enamel from acid activity
  • Intermediate and late bacterial colonizers are unable to adhere to tooth until early colonizers do
44
Q

Stage 2: permanent attachment

A
  • Microbes able to Withstand hydrodynamic forces attain permanent attachment
  • Produce substances to attract other microbes to the community
45
Q

Stage 3 - Maturation phase I: self-protective matrix formation

A
  • Firmly attached bacteria surrounding protective secrete surrounding protective substance called extracellular protective matrix
  • Consists of proteins, glycolipids, bacterial DNA
  • Protects against host-generated immune defenses (chronic diseases is established)
46
Q

Step 4: Maturation II: mushroom-shaped microcolonies

A
  • Microbes cluster together and form mushroom-shaped microcolonies that attach to the tooth by a narrow base
  • Grow at accelerated rate, thicker
  • Fluid channels penetrate the protective matrix
  • Communication (cell-to-cell) via chemical signals
47
Q

stage 5: Dispersion: escape form the matrix

A

Microbes disperse from the colony to spread and colonize other tooth surfaces

48
Q

Early colonizers

A
  • Streptococcal species can attach to the tooth pellicle and to each other
  • Other early colonizers cannot attach to the pellicle but can congregate with the strep
49
Q

intermediate and late colonizers

A
  • Must join in proper sequence
  • Periodontal pathogens are late colonizers of biofilm
50
Q

Biofilm components

A
  • Mainly Microorganisms
  • Minor: carbohydrates, salivary components/proteins, desquamated cells, exudate, bacteria by-products (enzymes), inorganic products (Ca, Fl, K, etc)
