6
Q

gingival enlargement due plaque induced, drug influenced gingivitis is due to what?

A

an increase in fibroblast activity as a response to inflammation resulting in increased CT formation with a decrease in production of enzyme collagenase

hereditary gingival fibromatosis

Q

what is the hallmark for periodontitis?

A

progressive attachment loss in the presence of inflammation

12

A
  1. periodontal pockets

2. radiographic bone loss

13
Q

what factors must be taken into consideration when dx’ing periodontitis?

A
  1. radiographic bone loss
  2. clinical attachment loss
  3. pocket depth
  4. inflammation
14
Q

where will the jxnal epithelium be if there is facial, lingual, or proximal gingival recession in the absence of inflammation (a reduced but healthy periodontium)?

A

will also be on the root

15
Q

is patient considered to have periodontitis if there is radiographic bone loss but no inflammation?

A

the disease may be inactive

16
Q

pseudo-pocket

A

gingiva several mm coronal to CEJ without attachment loss

17
Q

the most typical pattern of perio disease progression occurs where?

A

at interproximal sites

18
Q

what is the most diagnostic descriptor of periodontal disease?

A

forms of periodontitis

19
Q

chronic periodontitis affects who?

A

most prevalent in adults over 35, but can occur younger adults destruction is consistent with local factors

20
Q

how can chronic periodontitis be classified?

A
  1. basis of extent (localized or generalized)

2. severity (slight, moderate or severe)

21
Q

aggressive periodontitis is associated with what?

A

immunologic defects (familial aggregation but patients are otherwise healthy)

22
Q

who is affected by localized aggressive periodontitis?

A
  1. circumpubertal (adolescent) onset

2. greater incidence in African-Americans

23
Q

characteristics of localized aggressive periodontitis

A
  1. neutrophil chemotaxis defect

2. robust serum antibody response

24
Q

where does localized aggressive periodontitis affect?

A

localized to 1st molar/incisor involvement with no more than 2 other involved permanent teeth

25
Q

which bacteria is traditionally associated with localized aggressive periodontitis?

A

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa)

26
Q

T/F: for patients with localized aggressive periodontitis, there may be a burst of activity followed by a prolonged period of inactivity (quiescence) or burn-out (not episodic) however may generalize in later life

A

true

27
Q

T/F: patients with localized aggressive periodontitis may have their incisors undergo pathologic migration/drifting/shifting

A

true

28
Q

who is affected by generalized aggressive periodontitis?

A

persons under 30 years of age (age is important)

29
Q

characteristics of generalized aggressive periodontitis

A
  1. poor serum antibody response to infecting agents
