Cards

Term
What is an inflammation that extends beyond the gingiva and apical migration of junctional epithelium?
Definition
periodontitis
Term
Would a pocket be a primary or secondary etiology factor to periodontal disease?
Definition
secondary
Term
What is a community of bacteria on an aqueous surface within a glycocalyx matrix allows increased survival/symbiosis versus bacteria in the planktonic state.
Definition
biofilm
Term
What is the most prevalent type of periodontitis in adults but can occur in children and adolescents (represents bone loss mostly as a defense to bacteria)?
Definition
chronic periodontitis
Term
What percentage of the US population is estimated to have periodontitis?
Definition
47%
Term
True or false:

In chronic periodontitis, amount of destruction is consistent with the presence of local factors
Definition
True
Term
Where will you most likely see the most plaque?
Definition
mandibular incisors (sublingual glands)

1st maxillary molar (parotid gland)
Term
What is NOT a secondary etiology of periodontitis?

Calculus
Overhanging restorations
Perio-endo lesions
Bacterial plaque
Open contacts with food impaction
Occlusal trauma
Smoking
Systemic disease
Definition
bacterial plaque (primary etiology)
Term
What is when a crown is prepared too deep into the where the attachment should be causing chronic inflammation (mistake of restorative dentistry)?
Definition
violation of biologic width
Term
In violation of biologic width, what 2 zones do we violate?
Definition
Zone of epithelium attached to tooth
Zone of connective tissue attached to tooth
Term
Patients who smoke are ____ times more likely to have periodontal disease than nonsmokers
Definition
2-6
Term
__________ is the strongest modifiable risk factor for periodontal disease.

What is the dose-dependent relationship?
Definition
cigarette smoking

# years
#packs/day
Term
What is the severity of periodontitis based on?
Definition
Based on the amount of Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL)
Term
What are the measurement of clinical attachment loss for slight, moderate, and severe?
Definition
Slight 1-2 mm CAL
Moderate: 3-4 mm CAL
Severe: > 5 mm CAL
Term
**What teeth are most severely affected by chronic periodontitis?
Definition
Maxillary molar >>> Mandibular canines
Interproximal sites > labial surfaces
Term
What two things set aggressive and chronic periodontitis apart?
Definition
In aggressive,

microbial challenge can be far more virulent
host response to plaque will cause more inflammation and bone loss (low tolerance to plaque)
Term
What all initiates the host-mediated destruction?
Definition
Cytokines and inflammatory mediators
IL-1, IL-6,IL-8, TNF-α, PGE2
Term
What are the 4 phases of host response to periodontitis?
Definition
1) acute bacterial challenge phase (PMNs)
2) acute inflammatory response (macrophages, inflammatory mediators)
3) immune response phase
4) regulation and resolution phase (Challenge less well controlled by host because of persistent bacterial aggression and contribution of host response modifiers (smoking, systemic disease, genetics)
Term
What is a pocket formation around several/all primary teeth accompanied by bone loss and early exfoliation?
Definition
prepubertal periodontitis
Term
What is prepubertal periodontitis most often associated with?
Definition
immune disorders, usually neutrophil chemotaxis disorders were present

Some forms considered complication of systemic disease
Term
What is the type of periodontitis that affects permanent dentition in teenagers that have an absence of local factors (decay/filling), generally at the onset of puberty?

What teeth does it usually affect first?
Definition
juvenile periodontitis (or localized aggressive periodontitis)

1st molars and incisors
Term
What type of periodontitis has a tendency of cases to aggregate in families?
Definition
localized aggressive periodontitis
Term
True or False:

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a), a highly leukotoxic strain, can cause localized aggressive periodontitis alone.
Definition
False

some populations of patients with LAP do not harbor A. actinomycetemcomitans and in still others P. gingivalis may be etiologically more important.

It should be remembered, however, that all dental plaque- induced periodontal diseases are mixed infections and none of them is caused by a single pathogen
Term
What virulence factor of A.A. forms pores in neutrophil granulocytes, monocytes, and some lymphocytes, which consequently die because of osmotic pressure?
Definition
leukotoxin
Term
What virulence factor of A.A. inhibit neutrophil chemotaxis?
Definition
Chemotactic inhibition factors
Term
What virulence factor of A.A. inhibit growth of beneficial species?
Definition
bacteriocin
Term
What virulence fact of A.A. cleave IgG?

Destroys connective tissue?
Definition
protease

collagenase
Term
What population will you most likely see aggressive periodontitis?
Definition
young african american
Term
Is socioeconomic status a risk indicator or risk factor of aggressive periodontal disease?
Definition
risk indicator ( it can be overcome )
