Cards

Term
what is the primary clinical and diagnostic difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
Definition
loss of attachment of bone
Term
what is the most apical portion of maginal gingiva?
Definition
free marginal gingiva
Term
where are interradicular fibers found and what is the function?
Definition
at furcation and connect cementum and tooth
Term
what is the mildest form of periodontal disease?
Definition
gingivitis
Term
what is periodontal disease mostly caused by?
Definition
biofilm and inflammation follows
Term

true or false

junctional epithelium moves coronally?

Definition
false, junctional epithelium moves apically...
Term
what are some risk factors of periodontal disease?
Definition

-diabetes

 

-tobacco use

 

-genetically influenced inflammatory mediators

Term
which periodontal disease is more common in children?
Definition
gingivitis
Term
what is bidirectional synergism?
Definition
the study of oral and systemic links of periodontal disease and which came first
Term
what is CAL?
Definition
clinical attachment loss at j.e.
Term
what are 4 anatomic structures that support teeth?
Definition

-gingiva

 

-periodontal ligament

 

-cementum

 

-alveolar bone

Term
where is gingival tissue?
Definition

-covers cervical area of enamel and root

-maxillary and mandibular alveolar process

-marginal area that surrounds tooth

-most coronal gingiva is marginal gingiva

Term
where is mariginal groove found?
Definition
boundary between attached gingiva and marginal gingiva
Term
what is function of periodontal ligament?
Definition
to hold gingival tissue to alveolar bone
Term
what is a word for shallow space around each tooth?
Definition
gingival crevice/sulcus
Term
what are the 5 principal fibers
Definition

alveolar crest

horizontal

oblique

apical

interrradicular

transseptal

Term
how soon can an inflammatory response happen?
Definition
2-4 days
Term
if biofilm matures 7-14 days and has gingival enlargement, redness and bleeds easily it could be ?
Definition
an early lesion
Term
what are some signs a lesion has progressed?
Definition

-lots of fluid and leukocyte migration

-sulcus increases to above 3mm

-collagen destruction continues

-tissue is spongy

Term
what are the 2 types of pockets?
Definition
-gingival and periodontal
Term
what kind of pocket has no JE migration and inflammation creates larger probe #?
Definition
gingival pocket
Term
what type of pocket has JE migration and may have inflammation and larger probe numbers due to loss of JE attachment?
Definition
periodontal pocket
Term
how would you treat a periodontal pocket?
Definition

-scaling and root planning soft tissue management

-removal of calculus

-daily disorganization of biofilm

Term
what are some substances found in pockets
Definition

-microorganisms

-gingival sulcus

-desquamated epithelial cells

-leukocytes (WBC)

-purulent exudate

Term
what are some contributing factors of pockets?
Definition

-poor saliva flow

-iatrogenic(caused by professionals)

-diet/habits

-drugs like anticonvulsents

-anti rejection drugs

-calcium blocker

Term
what are some medical conditions that can lead to perio pockets>?
Definition

-down syndrome

-diabetes

-osteoporosis

-stress

Term
if someone is taking a cyclosporine (anti rejection drug) what could this be for?
Definition
transplant
Term
if someone is taking nifedipine induced drugs like calcium blockers what could this be for?
Definition
a heart condition
Term
phenytoin or dilantin are drugs for what?
Definition

anticonvulsents 

taking drugs like these can cause overgrowth in gums

Term
what are 3 cellular immunologic defenses?
Definition

-recognize invaders (antigens)

(chemotactic, edema, increase in vascular, increase in pmns)

 

-destry or neutrolize invaders (phagocytosis)

 

-repair damage

Term
what are 2 major categories of perio disease?
Definition

-plaque induced 

 

-non plaque induced(systemic issues, genetic, tramatic occlusion, foreign body reactions

Term
what are the classifications of periodontal diseas?
Definition

-chronic-occurs over time slowly progresses 3 stages slight, moderate, advanced

 

-aggressive-destructive localized and generalized

 

-necrotizing-sudden onset of stress lesions are punched out

 

-abcessing-pericoronal lesion(around crown) in gingiva and the apex may be absessed

 

developmental or acquired (modifiers of susceptibility ) 

 

endodontic-requires root canal

 

refractory-does not respond to treatment and progresses

Term
what is the first sign of periodontal disease?
Definition
bleeding
Term
what does colgate have in it to get rid of s. mutans
Definition
chlorhexadine, triclosan , novamin
