Transcript Chronic Periodontitis [PPT]

CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS
1
Definition
 Chronic Periodontitis can be defined as “an
infectious disease resulting in inflammation
within the supporting tissues of the teeth,
progressive attachment loss, and bone loss.”
- Previously known as adult periodontitis or
slowly progressive periodontitis.
- Occur as a result of extension of inflammation
from the gingiva into deeper periodontal tissue.

Common Characteristics




Onset - any age; most common in adults
Plaque initiates condition
Subgingival calculus common finding
Slow-mod progression; periods of rapid
progression possible
 Modified by local factors/systemic
factors/stress/smoking
3
Extent & Severity
 Extent:
 Localized: <30% of sites affected
 Generalized: > 30% of sites affected
 Severity: entire dentition or individual
teeth/site
 Slight = 1-2 mm CAL
 Moderate = 3-4 mm CAL
 Severe =  5 mm CAL
4
Clinical Characteristics
 Gingiva moderately
swollen
 Deep red to bluishred tissues
 Blunted and rolled
gingival margin
 Cratered papilla
 Bleeding and/or
suppuration
5
Clinical Characteristics
 Plaque/calculus
deposits
 Variable pocket
depths
 Loss of periodontal
attachment
 Horizontal/vertical
bone loss
 Tooth mobility

CLASSIFICATION
A) Based on Disease Distribution:
Localized:
Periodontitis is considered localized when <30% of
the sites assessed in mouth demonstrate attachment
loss and bone loss.
Generalized:
Periodontitis is considered generalized when >30% of
the sites assessed demonstrate attachment loss and
bone loss.
The pattern of bone loss in chronic periodontitis can
be vertical or horizontal.

 DISEASE DISTRIBUTION : It is a site-specific disease
 CLINICAL SIGNS -
- Inflammation ,pocket formation ,attacment loss ,bone loss
- All caused by site specific effects of a sub-gingival plaque
accumulation
- That is why the effect are on one side only –other surface
may maintain normal attachment level.
- Eg.-proximal surface with plaque may have C.A.L.
- And plaque free surface –FACIALsurface of same tooth
may be without disease.

gum bleed
space appear between teeth due to tooth movement
May be painless (sleeping disease )goes unnoticed
Some time pain due to caries , root hypersensitivity
To cold /hot or both
PAIN-may be-- dull—deep radiating in the jaw
Area of food impaction can cause more discomfort
May be gingival tenderness or itchiness found
Periodontal Pathogens
• Gram negative organism dominate
• P.g., P.i., A.a. may infiltrate:
• - Intercellular spaces of the epithelium
• - Between deeper epithelial cells
• - Basement lamina
11
Periodontal Pathogens Contn.
 Pathogens include:
 Nonmotile rods:
 Facultative:
 Actinobacillus a. E.c.
 Anaerobic:
 P. g., P. i., B.f., F.n.
 Motile rods:
 Facultative:
 C.r.
 Spirochetes:
 Anaerobic, motile:
 Treponema denticola
12
Pathogenesis – Pocket
Formation
 Bacterial challenge
initiates initial lesion
of gingivitis
 With disease
progression &
change in
microorganisms 
development of
periodontitis
13
Pocket Formation
 Cellular & fluid inflammatory exudate 




degenerates CT
Gingival fibers destroyed
Collagen fibers apical to JE destroyed 
infiltration of inflammatory cells & edema
Apical migration of junctional epithelium
along root
Coronal portion of JE detaches
14
Pocket Formation
 Continued extension
of JE requires
healthy epithelial
cells!
 Necrotic JE slows
down pocket
formation
 Pocket base
degeneration less
severe than lateral
15
Pocket Formation
 Continue inflammation:




Coronal extension of gingival margin
JE migrates apically & separates from root
Lateral pocket wall proliferates & extends into CT
Leukocytes & edema
 Infiltrate lining epithelium
 Varying degrees of degeneration & necrosis
16
Development of Periodontal
Pocket
17
Continuous Cycle!
 Plaque  gingival inflammation  pocket
formation  more plaque
18
Classification of Pockets
 Gingival:
 Coronal migration of gingival margin
 Periodontal:
 Apical migration of epithelial attachment
 Suprabony:
 Base of pocket coronal to height of alveolar crest
 Infrabony:
 Base of pocket apical to height of alveolar crest
 Characterized by angular bony defects
19
Histopathology
 Connective Tissue:
 Edematous
 Dense infiltrate:
 Plasma cells (80%)
 Lymphocytes, PMNs
 Blood vessels proliferate, dilate & are engorged.
 Varying degrees of degeneration in addition to newly
formed capillaries, fibroblasts, collagen fibers in some
areas.
20
Histopathology
 Periodontal pocket:




Lateral wall shows most severe degeneration
Epithelial proliferation & degeneration
Rete pegs protrude deep within CT
Dense infiltrate of leukocytes & fluid found in rete
pegs & epithelium
 Degeneration & necrosis of epithelium leads to
ulceration of lateral wall, exposure of CT,
suppuration

Stages of Periodontal
Disease
25
Root Surface Wall
 Periodontal disease affects root surface:
 Perpetuates disease
 Decay, sensitivity
 Complicates treatment
 Embedded collagen fibers degenerate 
cementum exposed to environment
 Bacteria penetrate unprotected root
26
Root Surface Wall Contn…
 Necrotic areas of cementum form; clinically
soft
 Act as reservoir for bacteria
 Root planing may remove necrotic areas 
firmer surface
27
Inflammatory Pathway

Stages I-III – inflammation degrades gingival
fibers


Spreads via blood vessels:
Interproximal:

Loose CT  transseptal fibers  marrow spaces
of cancellous bone  periodontal ligament 
suprabony pockets & horizontal bone loss
transseptal fibers transverse horizontally
28
Inflammatory Pathway

Interproximal:

Loose CT  periodontal ligament  bone 
infrabony pockets & vertical bone loss 
transseptal fibers transverse in oblique direction
29
Inflammatory Pathway
 Facial & Lingual:
 Loose CT  along periosteum  marrow spaces
of cancellous bone  supporting bone destroyed
first  alvoelar bone proper  periodontal
ligament  suprabony pocket & horizontal bone
loss
30
Inflammatory Pathway
 Facial & Lingual:
 Loose CT  periodontal ligament  destruction
of periodontal ligament fibers  infrabony pockets
& vertical or angular bone loss
31
Periodontal Disease Activity
 Bursts of activity followed by periods of
quiescence characterized by:
 Reduced inflammatory response
 Little to no bone loss & CT loss
 Accumulation of Gram negative organisms leads
to:
 Bone & attachment loss
 Bleeding, exudates
 May last days, weeks, months
32
Periodontal Disease Activity
 Period of activity followed by period of
remission:
 Accumulation of Gram positive bacteria
 Condition somewhat stabilized
 Periodontal destruction is site specific
 PD affects few teeth at one time, or some
surfaces of given teeth
33
Prevalence:
 Chronic Periodontitis increases in prevalence &
severity with age.
 Affect both the sexes equally.
 It is an age-associated, not age related
disease.
RISK FACTORS FOR DISEASE:
1) PRIOR HISTORY OF PERIODONTITIS—predictor-more risk for developing
damage to periodontium.
2) LOCAL FACTORS:
Plaque Accumulation
Oral Hygiene
Tooth Malposition
Restoration
Preserve & Quantity of certain bacteria
Host defences
Subgingival Restoration
Environment
Calculus, smoking
