- 1Gingivitis1. first stage of periodontal disease.
2. inflammation of gingival tissues.
3. Only affects the gingivae.
4. Toxins from the bacteria provoke an inflammatory response.
5. reversible - carry out effective OH - 2Clinical signs of gingivitis1. Bleeding
2. Halitosis
3. Redness
4. Spongy & glossy gingivae
5. Swelling
6. False Pocketing - 3Treatment for gingivitis> Scale & Polish (dentist cleans false pockets)
> Plaque control via OH (teaching patient by giving advise)
> Correction of tooth relationships (extracting or adjusting occlusion)
> Correction of appliance - 4Name 6 immuno compromised patients.Pregnant
diabetes
HIV
Smoking, Age & Stress - 5Why does sucrose encourage plaque formation?When sugar (sucrose) is on the tooth surface, bacteria will attach and plaque will form.
- 6What bacteria is present in plaque 3-8 hours?Cocci, Bacilli, Streptococus mutans
- 7Bacteria present in plaque after 7 daysSpirochetes
- 8when a question asks for clinical signs this means?what you can see..
- 9Clinical signs specific to periodontitis> Gingival recession
> Bone resorption (loss)
> True periodontal pocketing (total destruction of supporting structures)
> Tooth mobility
> Drifting - 10what happens if gingivitis is not treated?Microbes affect deeper tissue. This includes periodontal ligament, cementum & alveolar bone.
- 11What is a furcation lesion?Exposed bifurcation/ Trifurcation area that can be accessed by a periodontal probe. cant necessarily be seen.
- 12Causes of periodontitispoor OH
Calculus
Caries
Lip apart posture
Gingival recession - 13What is calculus?* Hard mineralized dental plaque
* sticks to teeth, restorations & appliances
* 70% in organic salts
* 30% micro organisms & organic material
*contains calcium & phosphate
*calculus makes effective OH impossible - 14supra-gingivalABOVE gingival margin.
colour - white or pale yellow.
staining sources - tabacco tar, food pigments.
Common teeth - buccal upper molar & lingual lower anterior.
Soft & easy to remove with scaler - 15Reason for supra-gingival calculus occurring on certain teeth.Salivary glands open into the mouth in these areas.
- 16Sub-gingivalBELOW gingival margin in periodontal pockets.
Colour - Dark/ brown (spread evenly allover the mouth)
Cause - breakdown products of blood form the ulcerated pocket epithelium. - 17what happens in Sub-gingival calculus?A small discreet deposit form a band around the tooth and demineralization occurs. The calculus is hard and difficult to remove.
- 18False pocketenlarged gingival crevice
Only affects gingivae
if gingivitis is ignored and plaque is not removes, swelling will occur and this will create the illusion of a pocket.
Food debris gets caught. - 19Pocket formation (true pocket)Microbes from plaque penetrate deeper tissue detaching the gingivae from the tooth and causing destruction of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone.
- 20Gingival recessionGingivae becomes agitates due to the toxins and moves away. This detaches the gingivae from the tooth. When this happens roots are exposed and are visible clinically.
- 21Bone resorption (loss)
