Study Notes

AAP Classification of Periodontal Diseases and Conditions

Type I: Plaque-induced gingival diseases, primarily related to the buildup of dental plaque.
Type II: Chronic periodontitis, characterized by inflammation and progressive attachment loss.
Type III: Aggressive periodontitis, a severe form often seen in younger individuals with rapid attachment loss.
Type IV: Periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease, indicating that systemic health issues impact periodontal health.
Type V: Necrotizing periodontal disease, featuring ulceration and necrosis of the periodontal tissues.
Type VI: Abscesses of the periodontium, involving localized infections within periodontal tissues.
Type VII: Periodontitis associated with endodontic lesions, where periodontal health is affected by dental pulp inflammation.
Type VIII: Developmental or acquired deformities and conditions impacting periodontal structures.

Plaque Induced Gingival Diseases

Plaque-induced gingivitis can be influenced by systemic factors, medications, and malnutrition.
Systemic factors include hormonal changes linked to puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and conditions like diabetes.
Medications can lead to drug-induced gingival enlargements or influence gingivitis, such as those associated with oral contraceptives.
Malnutrition-related gingival diseases include scurvy, stemming from vitamin C deficiency.

Non-Plaque Induced Gingival Lesions

These lesions arise from specific bacterial, viral, or fungal origins, as well as genetic factors or systemic conditions.
Bacterial-origin diseases include lesions associated with Neisseria gonorrhea, Treponema pallidum, and Streptococcal species.
Viral-origin lesions primarily result from herpes infections.
Fungal-origin diseases involve Candida species and conditions like histoplasmosis.

Gingival Manifestations of Systemic Conditions

Mucocutaneous disorders linked to systemic conditions include lichen planus, pemphigoids, erythema multiforme, and lupus erythematosus.
Allergic reactions from dental materials (e.g., mercury, nickel) or products (toothpaste, mouthwash) can also cause gingival issues.

Trauma and Foreign Body Reactions

Traumatic lesions may arise from chemical, physical, or thermal injuries.
Foreign body reactions occur when the body responds to foreign materials located within the gums.

Chronic Periodontitis Classification

Type II localized chronic periodontitis occurs when 30% or fewer sites exhibit attachment and bone loss.
Type II generalized chronic periodontitis is indicated by attachment and bone loss at more than 30% of sites.
Type II mild chronic periodontitis is characterized by a clinical attachment loss of 1 to 2 mm.
