Study Notes
Aetiopathogenesis of Periodontitis
- Periodontitis is caused by an imbalance between the host's immune response and bacterial biofilms.
- Key bacteria involved include Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola.
- Inflammation begins when the immune system responds to bacterial toxins like LPS.
- Host factors like genetics and immune dysregulation can contribute to the progression of the disease.
Risk Factors in Periodontitis
-
Modifiable Risk Factors:
- Smoking impairs immune response and healing.
- Poor oral hygiene leads to biofilm accumulation.
- Diabetes mellitus increases inflammation and susceptibility.
-
Non-Modifiable Risk Factors:
- Genetics
- Age (older individuals are at higher risk).
Soft and Hard Tissue Changes
-
Soft Tissue:
- Inflammation, bleeding, and swelling of the gums.
- Loss of gum attachment.
-
Hard Tissue:
- Alveolar bone loss due to inflammation.
- Formation of periodontal pockets.
Tissue Response to Treatment
-
Key Goals:
- Reduce inflammation and stabilize periodontal attachment.
- Allow soft tissue regeneration and limit further bone loss.
-
Healing Response:
- Reduction in pocket depth.
- Formation of long junctional epithelium.
- Bone regeneration in some cases (guided tissue regeneration).
Periodontal Treatment Terminology
- Scaling and Root Planing (SRP): Traditional mechanical removal of plaque and calculus.
- Debridement: Comprehensive cleaning to remove biofilm and calculus without aggressive root planing.
-
Periodontal Surgery:
- Flap surgery exposes the root for thorough cleaning.
Regenerative Therapy
- Regenerative therapy uses membranes or grafts to restore lost bone.
- Newer techniques often emphasize minimally invasive methods.
2017 BSP Guidelines for Periodontal Classification
- Aligns with the 2017 World Workshop classification system.
-
Key categories:
- Periodontal Health: Intact or reduced periodontium.
- Gingival Diseases: Non-dental biofilm-induced (e.g., trauma, systemic conditions).
- Periodontitis: Staged by severity (bone and attachment loss) and complexity
- Graded based on progression risk and systemic impact.
- Other Conditions: Abscesses, endoperio lesions, mucogingival deformities.
