host responses to periodontal bacteria Flashcards
(131 cards)
where does bacteria attach and colonize to induce damge to perio tissues
in the gingival crevice and some invade perio soft tissue
how can a bacteria cause perio damage
- Release substance to directly damage host cells
- Activate host’s own inflammatory and immune systems leading to host tissue damage (most damage)
what are the major microbial virulence factors
Ability to invade epithelium
Direct cytoxic effects of bacterial metabolic waste
Damaging bacterial enzyes
Immunostimulatory molecules
what are the bacterial metabolic wastes that can damge periodontal tissue
Ammonia
Indole compounds
Fatty acids (propionic and butyric acids)
HS
what bacterial enzymes can damage periodontal tissue
Leukotoxin
Gingipains
what are the immunostimulatory molecules
LPS from gram negative Lipoteichoic acids from gram positive Gingivapins Formylpeptides Other surface antigens
what is the action of leukotoxin
Kills neutrophils and macrophages (phagocytic cells)
what doe Gingipains do
Degrade many proteins
- interleukins
what is the action of formylpeptides
Interact with phagocytic cells to induce chemotoxis
what is the passive protection of the periodontium
PRevention of bacterial entry via periodontal eptihlium
- shedding of outer layer
what is the first line of active defense of the periodontum
Innate/nonspecific immune system
what is the second line of active defense
Acquired (adaptive) immune response - specific
what stops bacteria from entering in the first place
Shedding of epithelial cells into the oral cavity
intact epithelial barrier
Possitive fluid flow into the gingival crevis
what epithlium is crutial for stopping bacterial entry
Junctional epithelium
what is the roll of connective tissue in preventing bacterial entry
Lots of vessels to flow and flush out bacterium
what does gignival crevicular fluid originate as
Gingival tissue interstitial fluid
what happens to the vessels of the periodontum connective tissue with inflammation
dilation leads to opening a vessels and leaking
- plasma and compliments leave
- adema and redness
what is included in the innate immune repsonse
Complement system
Oral mucosa production of anti-microbial peptides
Oral epithelium produced pro-inflammatory cytokines
Antimicrobial effects of antibodies, lactoferrin, lysozyme
Phagocytic function of neutrophils and macrophages
what does the complement system lead to
Induces bacterial lysis
promote phagocyte recruitment (chemotaxis)
promote phagocytic by opsonization of bacterial
Activates mast cells, increasing
what are universal signs of infection
Il-1Beta and TNF-alpha
what do IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha do
Recruit inflammatory cells
what does Il-8 do
attract neutrophils in early stage of infections
what does adaptive immunity respond to
BActerial Ag
what are the halmarks of adaptive immunity
Ag recognition
Immune memory
Clonal expansion
