Periodontics Part 2 Flashcards

Q

Plaque Formation Steps

A
  1. Pellicle Formation
    * seconds
    * consists of glycoproteins & proline-rich proteins= attachment sites for bacteria
  2. Adhesion & Attachment of bacteria
    * Minutes
    * Initial adhesion: weak reversible Van Der Waals& electrostatic forces
    * Strong irreversible attachment of adhesin molecules on early colonizers and host pellicle receptors
  3. Colonization & plaque maturation
    * 24-48 hrs
    * Coadhesion: Primary colonizers provide new receptors for other bacteria to attach
    * Shift from Facultative gram (+) to anaerobic gram (-)

* Feed on sugar & carbon from saliva/food

Secondary (late) Colonizers:
* P. Intermedia, P. Gingivalis, T. Denticola, Capnocytophaga, Campylobacter

Q

Biofilm

A

Fluid Channels
* allows nutrients to pass through plaque

Quorum Sensing
* communication b/w bacteria in a biofilm
* encourage growth of beneficial species
* discourage growth of competing species

Biofilm bacteria more RESISTANT TO ANTIMICROBIALs than planktonic or free-swimming bacteria

Q

Plaque Hypotheses

A

3:
Non-specific

* Any bacterial species

Specific
* Specific bacteria=Disease

Ecological (most accurate)
* certain bacteria + host factors (smoking, diabetes)=change environment->favor pathogenic

Q

Calculus

A

LOCAL FACTOR
* Mineralized dental plaque 1-14 days
* NOT destructive but allows biofilm attachment (plaque)

19
Q

Supragingival vs subgingiva calculus

A

Supragingival Calculus
* white/yellow
* mineralization via saliva
* occurs near salivary duct openings

Subgingival Calculus
* dark (Brown/Black)
* mineralization via GCF

20
Q

Materia Alba

A

Soft white cheeselike
*easily displaced by water spray

unorganized accumulation of
* bacteria
* salivary proteins
* Food Debris
* desquamated epithelial cells, and food debris

21

  • Self inflicted injuries
30
Q

Malocclusion

A
  • Crowding- plaque retentive area
  • Prominent roots & teeth w/high frena-gingival recession
  • Mesial Drift or extrusion due to missing teeth–>food inmpaction & plaque retention
31
Q

Faulty Restorations

A

Plaque Retention:
* overhanging margins
* open margins
* rough surfaces
* ope contacts

Overcontoured restorations are WORSE for gingival health than undercontoured–>form plaque retention areas, hard to clean

32
Q

Subgingival Margins

A

Even if not FAULTY, Associated with:
* plaque accumulation
* gingival inflmmation
* deeper pockets

33
Q

Appliances

A

RPDs
* Increased mobility of abutment teeth
* Increased plaque accumulation

Orthodontic Therapy:
* increase plaque retention
* create excessive forces on the periodontium
* Must establish Periodontal health before starting tx

Oral Jewelry: can result in
* recession
* pocket formation
* bone loss

34
Q

Self-Inflicted injury

A

Aggressive horizontal brushing cause:
* tooth abrasion
* gingival recession

Improper use of tooth picks & fingernail biting can damage gingival tissues

35
Q

Neutrophils

A
  • first line of defense
  • most important cells in controlling bacterial challenge & destroying periodontal tissue
  • Chemotaxis to periodontal pocket
  • Phaygocytosis

MMP-8 (Neutrophil collagenase):
* most important proteinase in destruction of periodontal tissues
* tetracycline inhibits

36
Q

Neutrophil Abnormalities

A
  1. Defective Neutrophil Chemotaxis leads to aggressive periodontitis

Has to be just right to prevent tissue destruction
* to much neutrophil activity=self inflicted tissue destruction
* To little–>unchecked microbial challenge=tissue destruction

37
Q

Proinflammatory Mediators

A

IL-1: Bone resorption
IL-6
PGE2
TNFa: Activate Macrophages

MMPs
* matrix metalloproteinase
* destroy collagen
* Protain-ase=eats proteins

38
Q

Pathogenesis of Gingivitis

A

Stage 1:
* Initial Leasion
* 2-4 days after plaque formation
* Neutrophil infiltration
* Increased GCF
* No Gingivitis

Stage 2:
* Early Lesion
* 4-7 days
* T lymphocyte infiltration
* increased collagen loss
* BOP
* Clinical Signs of Gingivitis: Redness, bleeding, edema

Stage 3: Chronic Gingivitis/reversible
* Established lesion: 14-21 days
* B lymphocyte (B Cells) infiltration including mature plasma cells
* collagen loss
* clinical changes in color, contour, and consistency

Stage 4: Not reversible
* Advanced lesion
* transition to irreversible damage of periodontitis

39
Q

Macrophages

A

Antigen-presenting cells (APCs)
* monocytes
* dendritic cells

Regulate immune response by releasing cytokines
* ex: IL-8

40
Q

* kill intracellular antigens

NK Cells:
* T cells
* recognize and kill tumor and viral infected cells

42
Q

MMPs

A

MMPs
* matrix metalloproteinase
* destroy collagen
* Protain-ase=eats proteins

43
