Evaluation of Plaque Structure by Fluorescence in situ Hybridization and Spectral Imaging

Designed a set of fluorochrome-conjugated rRNA gene-specific oligonucleotide probes that targeted 96-98% of cells in healthy supragingival plaque.

* \_\_\_\_
* Use similar approach to what's done with 16S sequencing, and label probes with fluorochrome that bind to organisms in dental plaque
* Listgarten's studie - corncob structures
* And fpictures form this study, very similar type \_\_\_\_ form dental plaque in healthy individuals 
* Each different color represtns porbe they used for organisms - and bug in center of corncob structures - fusobacterium nucleatum, but they found pink organisms (\_\_\_\_) and not a lot of fusobacterium
* Current thinking: maybe fusobacteirum is not as important as prveiously thought

The Ecologic Plaque Hypothesis

* Non-specific - wasn’t' important what was in plaque, just how \_\_\_\_ - not accurate

* In peridontal heatlh with no inflamamtion, \_\_\_\_ GCF, oxygen is \_\_\_\_ > \_\_\_\_ anaerobes - periodotnal health
* Accumulation of plaque - inflammation - drives down \_\_\_\_, affects \_\_\_\_ and shifts micrbiotia into \_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_ anaerobes that drives perioontitis

Polymicrobial Synergy and Dysbiosis Model
“Biofilm accumulation can invoke and deregulate a host ____ response, which will change the ____ microenvironment, which in turn can drive a ____ of the composition and activity of the microbiota, resulting in a more ____ host response, leading to further changes in the environment, and subsequently the ____ of communities of microorganisms that are even more suited to the prevailing conditions.”

* What changes - lapse in OH - accumultate supragingival - mature - onset of inflammation - resulting in \_\_\_\_

Periodontal diseases are not bacterial infections in the classical sense; they are not caused by a single or a limited number of exogenous pathogens.

Interactions between bacteria and both the ____ and ____ components of the host’s immune system are central to the pathogenesis of periodontal disease.

Tissue damage can result via the direct effects of ____- derived substances that impact the viability of host cells and integrity of host tissues or indirectly, by induction of an ____ reaction on the part of the host.

Gingivitis results from a build-up in the ____ mass that is, in part, due to the accumulation of ____ bacteria leading to the induction of an ____ reaction that may be of a sufficient magnitude to ____ the biofilm.
