(40 cards)
periodontal disease
an infectious process that involves inflammation
what does healthy gingiva look like
pink, rounded papillae at GM stippled tightly adapted less than 3mm no bleeding
4 cardinal signs of periodontal disease
- redness
- swelling (edema)
- pain
- heat
gingivitis
inflammation of gingival tissues found only in the epithelium and gingival connective tissue
reversible
cause of gingivitis type 1
plaque induced
cause of gingivitis type 2
puberty, pregnancy and use of birth control
periodontitis
inflammation in the oral cavity relating to bone
what does periodontitis look like
receding gingiva red perio pockets more than 3mm bone loss
5 types of periodontitis
chronic
aggressive
systemic
necrotizing
ANUG
what does ANUG stand for
Acute Necrotic Ulcerative Gingivitis
localized periodontal disease
less than 30% of the mouth affected
generalized periodontal disease
more than 30% of the mouth affected
4 classes of severity if perio disease
early
moderate
severe
advanced
3 classes of mobility
M1 very little mobility
M2 medium mobility
M3 extreme very loose
5 anatomical structures of the periodontium
- alveolar bone
- cementum
- periodontal ligament
- epithelial attachment
- gingiva
epithelial attachment
a collar of epithelial cells attached to the tooth surface
alveolar bone and cementum purpose
anchor the periodontal fibers
periodontal fibers purpose
attach teeth to the bone
dentogingival junction purpose
seals off the oral environment from the tooth socket
gingival tissue purpose
protect nerves and blood supply during mastication
main etiology of periodontal disease
bacterial plaque
periodontal disease
disorders that affect the tissue surrounding and supporting the teeth
what two things can you do to prevent periodontal disease
daily oral care
professional removal of calculus
4 effects on the body from periodontal disease
pre term or low birth weight babies
