25
Q

This specific prostaglandin induces production of matrix metalloproteinases by fibroblasts and osteoclasts which damages periodontal tissue

A

PGE2

26
Q

These degrade extracellular matrix and the concentrations of this are higher in inflamed gingiva than in healthy gingiva

A

matrix metalloproteinases

27
Q

What is an example of a matrix metalloproteinase

A

PMN collagenase; degrades the major structural protein in the gingiva

28
Q

These antagonize inflammation and inhibit degradation of matrix proteins

A

proteinase inhibitors

29
Q

This proteinase inhibitor is broad spectrum

A

alpha-2 macroglobulin

30
Q

This proteinase inhibitor is broad spectrum and a potent inhibitor of PMN collagenase

A

alpha-1 antitrypsin

31
Q

This type of antimicrobial peptides inhibit bacteria and fungi and is prodded by salivary gland epithelium

A

defensins

32
Q

This type of antimicrobial peptides inhibit bacteria and fungi by cheating zinc; produced by epithelium, PMNs, monocytes, and macrophages

A

calprotectin

33
Q

Where are PMNs (neutrophils) deployed from

A

the blood

34
Q

Where are macrophages found

A

in organs and tissues

35
Q

Where are mast cells found

A

throughout the body, especially in connective tissue subjacent to mucosal surfaces

36
Q

This increases vascular permeability resulting in redness, edema, and increased gingival crevicular fluid flow

A

acute inflammation or injury

37
Q

These deliver antimicrobial substances to bacteria in the early stages on infection

A

PMNs

38
Q

What are four mechanisms for PMNs to destroy bacteria

39
Q

44
Q

What is the quantity of plasma, B, and T cells in chronic periodontitis
