Study Notes
Extension of Inflammation
- The transition from gingivitis to periodontitis occurs when inflammation extends from the marginal gingiva to the supporting structure.
- Bone loss occurs in episodes.
Pathway of Inflammatory Exudate
Interproximal
- The common path involves inflammatory exudate extending from the gingiva to the alveolar bone, destroying transseptal fibers, and reaching the periodontal ligament (PDL) and bone marrow space, leading to horizontal bone loss and supra bony pocket.
- The less common pathway involves inflammatory exudate extending directly from the gingiva to the PDL and then to the bone.
Facial or Lingual
- The common path involves inflammatory exudate extending from the gingival epithelium to the connective tissue, reaching the outer periosteal surface of the bone, and penetrating the bone marrow space, leading to horizontal bone loss and supra bony pocket.
- The less common pathway involves inflammatory exudate extending directly from the gingiva to the PDL and then to the bone.
Clinical Importance of Fibers
- Transseptal fibers are present even in cases of extreme periodontal bone loss.
- During surgical procedures, these fibers form a firm covering over the bone, which is encountered after removing the superficial granulation tissue.
Periodontal Bone Defects
Ledges
- Plateau-like bone margins caused by resorption of thickened bony plates.
Reversed Architecture
- Loss of interdental bone, including facial and/or lingual plates, without loss of radicular bone, resulting in a reversal of the normal architecture.
Furcation Involvement
- Invasion of the bifurcation and trifurcation of multirooted teeth by periodontal disease.
- Classified into four grades: incipient, partial, total, and through and through opening of the furcation.
Bulbous Bone Contours
- Bony enlargements caused by exostoses or buttressing bone formation.
Fenestration and Dehiscence
- Isolated areas of root denuded of bone with intact margin (fenestration) or loss of bone margin (dehiscence).
Factors Determining Bone Morphology in Periodontal Disease
Factors Related to Teeth
- Morphology of the tooth (thickness of root, thickness of bone, and short root trunk).
- Position of the tooth in the arch (thickness of lingual plate, thin buccal plate).
- Distance between teeth (thin interdental bone).
Factors Related to Bone
- Exostoses (outgrowths of bone).
- Normal variation of bone (thickness, width, and crestal angulation of interdental septa, thickness of facial and lingual alveolar plates, presence of developmental anomalies, and increased thickness of alveolar bone margins).
- Trauma from occlusion (factor in determining the dimension and shape of bone deformities).
- Buttressing bone formation (bone formation in an attempt to buttress bony trabecular weakened by resorption).
Bone Destruction
- Controlled by the pathogenic potential of plaque, host resistance, degree of fibrosis of gingiva, width of attached gingiva, amount of gingival fibers, reactionary fibrogenesis and osteogenesis, and reparative activity.
- Not a process of necrosis, but involves the activity of vital cells as osteoclasts and mononuclear cells.
Mechanisms of Bone Destruction
- By bacteria and host-mediated factors released by inflammatory cells.
- Direct action: bacteria inside plaque differentiate progenitor cells into osteoclasts.
- Indirect action: release of mediators that act as co-factors in bone resorption, destroy bone by chemical action, and inhibit maturation of osteoblasts.
Periods of Destruction and Remission in Bone Loss
- Bursts of destructive activity are associated with subgingival ulceration, acute inflammatory reaction, and changes in the composition of bacterial plaque.
- Periods of remission coincide with the formation of dense, unattached, non-motile, gram-positive organisms and tissue invasion by one or several bacterial species.
Radius of Action
- Local factors causing bone resorption should be present close to the bone surface (1.5-2.5 mm) to exert their action.
Rate of Bone Loss
- In patients with poor oral hygiene, the rate of bone loss is 0.2 mm per year for facial surfaces and 0.3 mm per year for proximal surfaces.
- According to Loe, yearly clinical attachment loss (CAL) can be classified into mild, moderate, and severe periodontitis.
