    Study Notes

    Understanding Periodontal Immune Response

    • Langerhans cells recognize plaque and present antigens to macrophages, which then leave the gingiva through the lymphatic system and stimulate a specific immune response.
    • The humoral immune response produces specific antibodies for bacteria, and the advanced lesion in gingivitis is characterized by the presence of plasma cells.
    • Cell-mediated response involves T helper lymphocytes producing cytokines, assisting B cell differentiation, and activating neutrophils and macrophages.
    • T helper one cells are mainly involved in gingivitis, while T helper two cells shift into B cells.
    • The first three stages of immune response in gingivitis involve the presence of plaque, Langerhans cells, recognition, and antigen presenting cells.
    • The cell-mediated response involves T cells proliferating into lymph nodes and entering the bloodstream to start targeting the affected area.
    • Mediators, such as cytokines, regulate the inflammatory and immune responses, and their severity varies depending on the level of inflammation.
    • Pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and prostaglandins contribute to inflammation and tissue damage.
    • Studies often focus on regulating pro-inflammatory cytokines to promote healing, while also acknowledging the need for immune response in wound healing.
    • The fine balance between immune response for healing and tissue destruction is crucial, and cytokines play a key role in mediating and regulating this balance.
    • Cytokines are secreted by specific cells in the immune system and form a complex network that regulates immunity and inflammation.
    • Interleukin-1 is a well-studied pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a central role in many connections within the immune response network.

    Understanding Immunity and Host Defense in Periodontal Diseases

    • Immunity in periodontal diseases involves components such as inflammatory response, epithelium, saliva, humoral and cell-mediated responses, and several mediators.
    • Rapid tissue response functions to kill bacteria and protect the host from bacterial invasion.
    • Gingival crevicular fluid plays a significant role in acute inflammation and its increased flow and volume are measured in high-risk patients.
    • Neutrophils and macrophages are key cells in the first line of defense against periodontal diseases.
    • Epithelium acts as a physical barrier to plaque microorganisms, with coronal epithelium having more resistance than non-coronal epithelium.
    • Langerhans cells play a significant role in the immune response in the gingival epithelium.
    • Saliva primarily has antimicrobial effects above the gingiva and can predispose patients to plaque development in the presence of certain medical conditions or treatments.
    • Humoral immune response involves antibody production by B cells and plasma cells against specific antigens, under the control of T helper cells.
    • Antibodies may be produced systemically or locally, depending on the bacterial challenge.
    • Differentiating systemic and local inflammation is crucial in understanding the effects of inflammatory responses.
    • Understanding the difference between systemic and local inflammation is important in the context of diseases like Covid, where systemic inflammatory responses can have pronounced clinical effects and long-term side effects.
    • It is important to understand the role of immunity in periodontal diseases and how it can be impacted by systemic inflammatory responses.
