What is Stage 1 of PeriodontitisBacterial Accumulation (initial lesion)
What is Stage 2 of PeriodontitisEarly Gingivitis (early lesion)
What is stage 3 of PeriodontitisEstablished Gingivitis (established lesion)
What is Stage 4 of PeriodontitisPeriodontitis (advanced lesion):
Signs and Symptoms of Acute Gingivitislasts for a short period of time, BOP, bright red, swelling/fluid in gingival connective tissue, tender or painful, heat- vasodilation, loss of function from swelling and pain
Signs and Symptoms of Chronic Gingivitislasts for months or years, BOP, dark red or purple in colour, Enlarged and/or fibrotic gingival tissues due to excess collagen fibers, painless
Bacterial/Cellular Features Initial LesionBacteria colonise along the gingival margin JE cells release cytokines, PGE, MMPs, TNF these calls stimulate an immune/inflammatory response which brings PMNs to the site of infection PMS pass into the gingival connective tissue and they release cytokines, cytokine destroy health gingival connective tissue to allow PMNs to quickly reach the infected tissue to destroy harmful bacteria PMN migration to the gingival sulcus to fight bacterial infection (phagocytize bacteria) If bacteria are destroyed tissues can be repaired and the infection can be stopped and progression to gingivitis will not occur
Tissue Level Initial LesionIncreased vascular dilation Increase of gingival crevicular fluid
Clinical Features Initial LesionGingiva looks clinically healthy Develops 2-4 days following plaque biofilm accumulation
Bacterial/Cellular Features Early LesionBacterial accumulation continues and subgingival plaque biofilm maturation occurs. Intensified immune/inflammatory response (cytokines continue to cause destruction of connective tissue) Causes increased dilation and permeability of blood vessels which then brings PMNs to the site of infection and they destroy gingival connective tissue on the way Macrophages and T-cells migrate to the gingival connective tissue Macrophages release biochemical mediators – cytokines, PGE2, MMPs T-cells produce cytokines and antibodies Gingivitis is reversable when biofilm is controlled and inflammation is reduced, if not progression to established gingivitis occurs
Tissue Level Early LesionCollagen loss (by MMPs) in sulcular epithelium and epithelial ridges form
Clinical Features Early LesionEdema and redness of marginal gingiva (signs of gingivitis) Develops 4-7 days following plaque biofilm accumulation (can vary)
Bacterial/Cellular Features Established LesionPlaque biofilm extends subgingivally into the junctional epithelium Cytokines recruit more cellular defenders due to increased subgingival bacteria These cellular defenders (PNMs, macrophages, lymphocytes- B&T cells, plasma cells-produce antibodies) migrate to the site of infection and destroy connective tissue in the process Established gingivitis is reversable when professionally treated, if not advanced lesion/periodontitis occurs
Tissue Level Established LesionJunctional epithelium loosens its attachment and forms a pocket epithelium (thinner and more permeable) Continued collagen loss Deeper extension of epithelial ridges Increased cellular fluid
Clinical Features Established LesionAll clinical features of gingivitis are evident and more pronounced than earlier stages Observed 21 days after plaque biofilm accumulation
Bacterial/Cellular Features Advanced LesionPlaque biofilm grows laterally and apically along the root surface Chronic inflammation from intense bacterial infection PMNs and macrophages produce cytokines that destroy gingival connective tissue and periodontal ligament fibres Macrophages produce lots of cytokines, PGE and MMPs that destroy connective tissue and alveolar bone MMPs destroy the extracellular matrix of the gingiva collagen fibres and periodontal ligament PGE destroy the bone by stimulating osteoclasts to resorb the crest of the alveolar bone Chronic inflammation causes irreversible damage to the periodontium and tissues causing the condition periodontitis
Tissue Level Advanced LesionApical migration of junctional epithelium (development of perio pockets) Destruction of gingival connective tissue Destruction of periodontal ligament fibres Destruction of crest of alveolar bone by osteoclasts
Clinical Features Advanced LesionPeriodontal pocket formation Bleeding on probing Destruction of ligaments Alveolar bone loss Furcation involvement Tooth mobility
What is the periodontium is made up of?Gingiva = tissues which cover the crevicular portion of the teeth and the alveolar process of the jaw Periodontal ligament = fibres which surround the root of the tooth Cementum = thin layer of mineralised tissue which covers eh root of the tooth Alveolar bone = bone that supports the root of the tooth
Oral Epitheliumouter layer that covers the free and attached gingiva
Sulcular Epitheliumlines the sulcus but doesn’t come into contact with the tooth surface
Junctional Epitheliumat the base of the sulcus and join the gingiva to the tooth surface
Periodontal health on an intact periodontiumNo clinical signs of gingival inflammation and no previous loss of periodontal tissue No alveolar bone loss
Periodontal health on a reduced periodontium in a non-periodontitis patientClinical signs of periodontal health on a periodontium with a pre-existing loss of connective tissue and/or loss of alveolar bone which is attributed to non-periodontitis reasons. (e.g., Gingival recession from toothbrushing)
Periodontal health on a reduced periodontium in a successfully treated stable periodontitis patientClinical signs of periodontal health on a periodontium with pre-existing loss of connective tissue an alveolar bone which is attributed to periodontitis but has been successfully treated and is currently stable.

Systemic risk factors for dental diseaseis it something/risk factor that is increasing the risk of periodontal disease from their physical or general health (happening within the whole body, like other conditions, (E.g., heart disease, diabetes), is it that their immune response to the oral diseases is weakened because of their underlying general health issues. Diabetes Stress Hormonal fluctuations (puberty, pregnancy, menopause) Metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, excess body fat, abnormal cholesterol) HIV/AIDS Neutropenia Down syndrome Leukemia
Local risk factors for dental diseaseis the something/risk factor that is increasing the risk of periodontal disease that is in the immediate environment of the oral cavity. Tooth and root morphology Calculus Occlusion Smoking Pellicle Clenching/bruxism Tongue thrust
Contributing Factora factor that lends assistance, adds or supplements to a condition or disease
Etiologic Factorfactor that is actual cause of disease or condition
Predisposing Factorfactor that renders a person susceptible to disease or condition
Risk Factoran exposure that increases probability that disease will occur
What is acquired pellicle?is a thin acellular organic film composed of proteins, glycoproteins, amino acids and peptides, it also contains lipids, and other macro-molecules. Formation of Aqired pellicle is the adherence of salivary proteins to the tooth surface. This occurs as soon as the saliva touches the tooth surface, and the thickness reaches 10-20nm in just a few minutes. The pellicle acts as a ‘double sided sticky tape’ as well as adhering to the tooth’s surface on the inside, it also allows bacteria to adhere on the outside of it.
What is biofilm?is a slimy covering composed of extracellular polysaccharides, structural proteins, cell debris and nucleic acids. Biofilm formation begins with bacteria entering the oral cavity and slowly forming a layer over the teeth. Dental biofilm is a risk factor for gingivitis, dental caries, periapical periodontitis, periodontitis, and peri-implantitis. The oral cavity provides a moist, warm, and nutritious environment to promote the growth of biofilm. Biofilm produces acid which de-mineralises tooth surface and increases the risk of caries. The bacteria biofilm contributes to conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis as it causes and inflammation, infection and destruction of periodontal structures. A build-up of Biofilm shows what surfaces you may be missing when brushing.
What is material albatranslates to "White Material”, it is a white material which can be composed of cells of tissues and food debris etc.
What is dental calculusis hard calcified deposits on the teeth. This is formed when the soft deposits calcify with the minerals from our saliva.
What is the significance of pellicle?Pellicle provides a barrier against different acids It is a lubricant- moistens surface to prevent drying, aid in speech and mastication. However, it also aids adherence of microorganisms and attachment of calculus to tooth surfaces.
Other things that might cause bleeding in the mouth?Calculus and biofilm Hyperplasia Local factors e.g. orthodontics, restorations with poor margins, partial dentures, rotating teeth may increase the risk of inflammation
