WK 9: Perio & Acute Gingival Lesions Flashcards
Define Necrotizing gingivitis
A microbial disease of the gingiva in a n impaired host response characterized by necrosis and sloughing of the gingival tissue
what are the 3 clinical forms of Necrotizing Gingivitis
- Acute: most common
- Subacute: milde and more persistent form
- recurrent: Periods of revision and exacerbation.
List the predisposing factors for Necrotizing gingivitis
HIV
Immune suppression
poor nutrition (malnourishment)
tobacco
physiological stress
Describe oral symptoms or Necrotizing gingivitis
Extreme sensitivity to touch
constant radiating pain( made worse while eating)
metallic foul taste
pasty saliva.
Describe Clinical finding of Necrotizing gingivitis
Necrosis/Ulcer in Interdental papilla
gingival bleeding
pain
halitosis
pseudomembrane formation
What are the extra oral signs and symptoms of NG
Local Lymphadenopathy
Elevation in temperature
Severe cases
fever
high pulse rate
loss of appetite
Describe NG management
Gentle removal of placque and necrosis debris
Irrigation and rinse with Hydrogen peroxide 3%/ (5ml H20 + 5ml H2O2) 2x daily
Metronidazole 400mg, Orally Every 12hr, 3-5 days
analgesics : paracetamol, Ibuprofen
No smoking and OHI
Review patient 48-72hrs
periodontal examination
Thorough debridement when possible
no response= refer
Describe differences and when Necrotizing periodontitis can occur
In severely immune compromised patients Bone Sequestra can occur
Occurs due to >1 episodes of necrotizing gingivitis
OR
Occurs due to necrotizing gingivitis @ site previously affected by periodontitis
What is necrotizing stomatitis
Defined by the presence of soft tissue necrosis that extends beyond the gingiva with bone denudation (erosion) and formation of bone sequestrum.
Occurs in severely systemically compromised patients
what are other names for Noma (cancrumoris)
Necrotizing ulcerative stomatitis
gangrenous stomatitis
cancrum oris
Describe early clinical features of Primary hepatic gingivostomatitis
Diffuse (pus)
erythematous (red skin)
shiny involvement of Gingiva and adjacent oral mucosa
oedema
gingival bleeding
What occurs within 24 hours of infection with herpes
Vessicles rupture to form painful small ulcers, with a red elevated margin and depressed yellow central portion
What is management for herpes
DELAY ELECTIVE SURGIES
Antiviral medication
- Famciclovir 1500mg
-single dose
Give at sign of recurrence
Describe pericoronitis
Inflammation of the gingiva in relation to the crown of an incompletely erupted tooth
What is the most common site of pericoronitis
Most common site= impacted 3rd molar.
Space between the crown and overlying gingiva flap accumulates debris
