Q

Concerns of e-cigs

A
  • Each nicotine cartridge in an e-cig can provide 200 to 400 puffs, equivalent to two to three packs of cigarettes.

Q

Effects of smoking on gingival inflammation

A

less clinical signs of inflammation and more supra-gingival calculus, gingival tissue appears
fibrotic with rolled margins, decreased inflammatory response to plaque accumulation compared to non-smokers

24
Q

Smoking ___ the risk of attachment and/or bone loss in postmenopausal women, diabetics, and HIV-seropositive individuals.

25
Smoking is associated with what types of gingavitis? In young? Older?
Generalized aggressive periodontitis in young patients Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis
26
Proposed mechanisms for the negative effects of smoking | (8)
- Vascular alterations - Neutrophil function - IgG production decre - decreased lymphocyt - incr periopathogens - altered fibroblast attachment and function - hard to clean - negative local effects on cytokine and growth factor production
27
Smoking may alter the composition of bacterial plaque in favor of ____ bacteria
more virulent-may be a selective pressure
28
Lower oxygen tension in the periodontal pockets of smokers may favor ________
anaerobic species
29
Smokers may harbor greater numbers of periodontal pathogens such as _____(3 main perio bugs) than non-smokers with comparable levels of periodontal disease
Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia (B. forsythus) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
30
It may also be more difficult to eradicate P. gingivalis and T. forsythia from periodontal pockets in smokers using ______ techniques
non-surgical
31
Altered vasculature in smoking hosts
Vasoconstriction may lead to decreased gingival blood flow, decreased GCF
32
Wound healing in smokers
inhibit gingival fibroblast attachment and proliferation, dec collagen, impaired GF expression
33
How neutrophils are effected by smoking (3)
Decreased chemotaxis, Decreased phagocytosis, Decreased adhesion to vascular endothelium
34
Antibodies and smoking
decreased Ab production, dec levels of salivary IgA and serum IgG-may alter IgG subclass concentrations
35
T/F:African American smokers had lower IgG1 concentrations
True...
36
Next to ________, ______ is the strongest modifiable risk factor for periodontal disease.
bacterial plaque Smoking
37
the more someone smokes the ____ viable PMNs are
less
38
Phagocytosis capacity _____ when smoking
decreases
39
smoking and oxidative stress
increased
40
Probing depth reduction and clinical attachment level improvements in smokers are ______those of non- smokers.
50-75%
41
Dose-response: heavy smokers vs light smokers response to therapy
heavy smokers (31 or more cigarettes) respond less favorably than light smokers (9 or less).
42
The difference in treatment outcome between smokers and non-smokers is more pronounced when
after surgical treatment
43
evidence for usefulness of antibiotic therapy with surgical periodontal therapy in smokers
not much-inconclusive
44
PD redcution in non smoker after graft vs in combo with combination therapy
Probing depth reduction is better in the non-smoker and the best in the non- smoker with the combination therapy of resorbable barrier and DFDBA than with resorbable barrier alone in Grade II Furcations
45
Enamel Matrix Derivative (EMD)
may provide increased defect fill and cementum formation in cigarrette smokers but was detrimental to new bone formation
46
Smoking and failure of dental implants-associated? Failure rate?
Smoking is significantly associated with failure of dental implants failure rates as much as 2x as high
47
Smoking affect on ridge augmentation procedures
negative affect
48
Impact of smoking on dental implant therapy is more dramatic in _______ with an odds ratio of 1.4-3.9.
grafted maxillary sinus
49
Implant rates for past smokers
Implant success rates for past smokers are similar to those who never smoked.
50
In a group of patients who quit smoking 1 week before and 8 weeks after implant placement, incidence of early implant failures was
similar | to that in nonsmokers
51
cover screw or abutment to cover tissue to reduce exposure on smokers and those with questionable oral hygiene
similar | to that in nonsmokers
52
Recession with smokeless tobacco location?
just localized
53
Effect of nicotine
May affect cells involved in periodontal repair
54
Gingival inflammatory response
Not clear what effects result from alterations in pro- inflammatory factors due to smoking
55
Gingival bleeding | in smokers
Less gingival bleeding, lower proportion of small blood vessels
56
Smoking proven risk factor?
yes Increased risk to develop periodontitis Faster progression of periodontitis More susceptible to aggressive forms of periodontitis Not responding as favorable to periodontal treatment and implant placement as non-smokers Scientific evidences support the negative effect of smoking on cells and components of the immune and inflammatory system and periodontal tissues. The effect of smoking on the bacterial composition of plaque is not clear Smoking is a proven risk factor
