32
Q

Free gingival margin

A

Coronal end of the gingiva

Located 1.5-2.0mm coronal to the CEJ

33
Q

Mucogingival junction

A

Border between the keratinized gingiva and the alveolar mucosa

34
Q

What does the ‘width’ of the gingiva mean?

A

Height occluso-cervically

35
Q

What does the ‘thickness’ of the gingiva mean?

A

Thickness B-L

36
Q

T/F - The mucogingival junction moves as the tooth erupts

A

False - so when the tooth erupts, the entire gingiva moves with it. Since marginal or free gingiva is also fixed in dimensions, the width of the attached gingiva increases

37
Q

What is the purpose of gingival fibers?

A

Reinforce the gingiva
Provide resilience and tone
Maintain architechtural form and integrity

38
Q

What are the different types of gingival fibers?

A

Circular
Dentogingival
Dentoperiosteal
Transseptal

39
Q

Circular fibers

A

Encircle the tooth like a cuff

40
Q

Dentogingival fibers

A

Fan out from the supra-crestal cementum into the free gingiva

41
Q

Dentoperiosteal fibers

A

Run from supra-crestal cementum into attached fibers

42
Q

Transseptal fibers

A

Run from tooth to tooth and embed into the cementum

43
Q

What are the different theories about plaque as an etiological agent?

A

Non-specific plaque hypothesis
Specific plaque hypothesis
Ecological Plaque hypothesis
Oral dysbiosis

44
Q

Non-specific plaque hypothesis

A

Plaque control is important in perio treatment
All plaque is considered bad
Any accumulation of micro-organisms at or below the gingival margin causes inflammation

45
Q

Specific plaque hypothesis

A

Specific organisms in the dental plaque are etiological agents
Not all bacteria are bad
This guides our clinical thinking today

46
Q

Ecological plaque hypothesis

A

There are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ bacteria, but only certain things the body can tolerate
If there is a shift in ecology, bad things can happen

47
Q

Oral dysbiosis

A

Pathogens require 1’ colonizer for attachment, and possibly other things
Pathogens are always present, but their numbers spike when the environment changes

48
Q

1’ Colonizers

A

Gram+ and Gram-

Streptococci that bind pellicle proteins

49
Q

2’ Colonizers

A

Bridge species - F. nucleatum

50
Q

3’ Colonizers

A

P. gingivalis

51
Q

Quorum sensing

A

What does Regulation of expression of specific genes through accumulation of signaling compounds that mediate intracellular communication
Provides antibiotic resistance in dense biofilms
Encourages growth of beneficial species

52
Q

What does quorum sensing depend on?

A

Cell density

53
Q

Auto-inducer 1 or 2

A

Turns on in response to cell density

54
Q

Pathogenic bacteria produce what in high levels?

A

AI-2

55
Q

AI-2 may determine what?

A

The switch from comensal to pathogenic community

56
Q

What is more resistant, planktonic or biofilm bacteria?

A

Biofilm bacteria are 1000-1500x more resistance than planktonic

57
Q

What are biofilms more resistant?

A

They grow more slowly
-Antibiotics depend on cell turnover for efficacy
-Slow growers express ‘non-specific defense mechanisms’
Exopolymers retard diffusion
Biofilm bacteria express different genes

58
Q

Exo-polymers

A

Retard diffusion

  • ion-exchange mechanism prevents highly charged molecules from reaching deeper zones
  • Extra-cellular enzymes inactivate antibiotics (B-lactamases, formaldehyde dehyrogenase)
59
Q

Neutrophil chemotaxis

A

Neutrophils start in circulation
Presence of plaque can be communicated to the CT by proteases, LPS, F-Met-Leu-Phe
Those things talk to macrophages, which release cytokines (TNF, IL-1)
This increases adhesion molecule expression, and these can bind to neutrophils, which then go to the site

60
Q

T-cell structure

A

2 glycoprotein chains (a and B) with variable segments

61
Q

What do variable segments of T-cells determine?

A

The type of immune response

62
Q

TCR in periodontitis

A

Differ before and after surgery

Differ between chronic and aggressive periodontitis

63
Q

What are the two T-cell types and what do they differ in?

A

Th1 and Th2

They differ in cytokine profile

64
Q

What cytokines coincide with Th1?

A

IL-2
IFN-y
TNF-a

65
Q

What cytokines coincide with Th2?

A
IL-4
IL-5
IL-6
IL-10
IL-13
66
Q

B-cell response

A

Humoral immunity triggered in response to soluble antigens

67
Q

Ag-Ab complex

A

Activates complement

Facilitates opsonization

68
Q

What T cells activate B-cell response?

A

Th2

69
Q

What are the two types of B-cells?

A

Conventional (B2)

Autoreactive (B1)

70
Q

Conventional B cells (B2)

A

Produce antibodies against bacteria

Levels decrease in healthy and treated sites

71
Q

Autoreacttive B cells (B1)

A

Produce auto-antibodies

Levels do not decrease after treatment

72
Q

IL-10

A

Con contribute to both Th1 and Th2

Normally knocks down cell-mediated response and increases humoral response

73
Q

What is lots of IL-10 an indicator of?

A

Stabalized perio lesion

74
Q

What is little IL-10 an indicator of?

A

Lesion is progressing
