Dental Field Periodontal Disease

The poster displays more on the disease by also stating the possible remedies Periodontitis such as the locally administered antimicrobials which include Minocycline HCL, Tetracycline HCL, Doxycycline Hyclate, and Metronidazole Benzoate which have an advantage since they are applied on site and have no side effects.

Periodontal disease is characterised by inflammation of tissues surrounding the teeth, damage to the supporting structures of teeth and the creation of pockets prone to bacterial infection (AIHW, 2015; Gehrig & Willmann, 2016). Periodontal disease is comprised of two main diagnostic categories: gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is characterised by inflammation, redness, oedema, and bleeding upon probing (Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health, 2009; Gehrig & Willmann, 2016). Chronic untreated gingivitis can often lead to periodontitis (Gehrig & Willmann, 2016; Van der Weijden & Slot, 2015), which presents as a loss of attachment between the supporting structures of the teeth such as bones, gums and ligaments. The greatest contributing factor to periodontal disease is the chronic build up of plaque - a sticky film that adheres to the teeth, which is composed of microorganisms, microbial waste products and food debris (Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health, 2009). Regular and effective oral hygiene practices such as frequent tooth brushing (Zimmermann et al., 2015), using a manual or power toothbrush (Van der Weijden & Slot, 2015) and interdental cleaning (Crocombe, Brennan, Slade, &

Based on our clinical findings and the patient’s complaint, I believe the patient has symptomatic apical periodontitis. The likely anatomical structures affected are the pulp of #31 (needing root canal therapy), the periodontium surrounding #31, possible involvement of the gingiva surrounding #30 (tooth directly anterior to #31). Depending on the path the infection has taken, it could have caused bone resorption and the infection could be cause nerve pain if allowed to progress. Infectious material courses through the path of least resistance, so it likely would have traveled from the apex of #31 into the surrounding gingiva, and up through the sulcus. The infection could also spread into the vestibule or floor of the mouth causing swelling

Periodontal is a Skeletal System disease in addition, a gum disease that affects the bones that support your carnassial or dental region. Losing your teeth is one of the most repulsive influences that Periodontal could have on the health of your teeth. Periodontal is a gum disease that occurs when bacteria has rooted under the gums from being piled on the teeth for too long. This stage where germs are mounted upon the gums cause them to susceptible from the teeth, allowing space in between the teeth and gums for plaque is called gingivitis. Swollen, tender, red and/or bleeding gums are early indications or symptoms of gum disease.

Periodontal disease, also called gum disease, is a condition that affects the tissue that surrounds and supports the teeth (periodontal tissue). Your periodontal tissue includes your gums, the ligaments that hold your teeth in place, and tooth sockets (alveolar bones).

Chronic periodontitis is common disease of the oral cavity, that can occur over a wide range of age. The major determinant of disease susceptibility is the host immune-inflammatory response to the sub-gingival biofilm. It is paradoxical that these defensive processes result in the majority of the tissue damage leading to the clinical manifestations of disease. The unique anatomy of the periodontium

Periodontal diseases, if left untreated, can create holes in your teeth where bacteria lives and destroys the tissues and bones leaving the root of the teeth exposed.

For more advanced forms of periodontal disease, your dentist may suggest one of several types of surgical procedures to fully eradicate inflammation and abscesses. Your options include grafts where lost bone is replaced with man-made materials or where exposed roots get covered; regeneration where lost tissue is encouraged to regrow using stimulating proteins and other materials; and flap surgery where gums are lifted away, tartar is removed, and gums are then sutured back.

The most important aspect periodontists deal with is periodontal disease. What is periodontal disease? It is gum disease. Gum disease can range from simple swelling of the gums to major damage around the supporting areas for the teeth which include soft tissue and bone. The most important thing periodontists

Tobacco smoking causes many interactions within the oral cavity that leads to periodontal disease, such as diminishing the supportive functions of periodontal tissues causing deeper pockets and more clinical attachment loss, immunologic reactions, and vascular impairment that hinders healing processes, and systemic diseases that generates further progression of periodontitis; therefore, with tobacco cessation the disease can be reversible or maintained. Periodontal disease is a leading factor among patients who smoke tobacco. Evidence proposes that more than half of patient cases diagnosed with chronic periodontitis in the United States are attributed to tobacco smoking. Research indicates that patients who smoke are four to six times greater

A total of 50 patients visiting to the out-patient Department of Periodontics, M.S. Ramaiah Dental College and Hospital, Bangalore who were diagnosed with chronic periodontitis were recruited into the study. The ethical clearance for this study was obtained from the ethical committee of the institution. Patients within age group of 30 to 79 years with a minimum of 10 natural teeth present, patients with bleeding on probing in at least one site, patients with chronic periodontitis with at least two teeth with periodontal pockets of 5–8 mm in depth, patients with radiographic evidence of alveolar bone loss and patients who have not undergone any periodontal treatment in the previous 6 months were selected for the study. Patients with systemic antibiotic therapy or use of NSAIDs prior to study entry and throughout the study duration, patients on medication known to potentially result in gingival overgrowth, pregnant or lactating females, patients with Type I diabetes or non-stable type II diabetes, patients with known allergies to NSAIDs or Chlorhexidine, patients with smoking habit and sites

What is periodontal disease and how does it affect the body? Periodontal disease is categorized into two different inflammatory conditions known as gingivitis and periodontitis. The body’s inflammatory response is triggered by dental bacterial plaque biofilms and it is this inflammatory response that is responsible for the tissue destruction that occurs. The two different categories of periodontal disease are similar

Periodontal diseases is a group of multifactorial biofilm-initiated oral diseases with common characteristic signs and symptoms including inflammation and progressive destruction of the periodontal apparatus of the teeth, namely the gingiva, cementum, periodontal ligaments and alveolar bone (Berezow & Darveau, 2011; Genco & Borgnakke, 2013; Jayaraman, Shendre, Gattani, & Rajput, 2013; Krayer, Leite, & Kirkwood, 2010; Wolf & Lamster, 2011). Broadly divided into gingivitis and periodontitis, The 1999 Classification System for Periodontal Disease and Conditions contains the extensive list of all gingival and periodontal diseases (Armitage, 2004; Gu & Ryan, 2010). Gingivitis is a reversible inflammatory disorder confined to gingival tissues while periodontitis is an irreversible inflammation of the entire periodontium that exhibits clinically evident connective tissue (CT) attachment loss as well as bone resorption (Perschbacher, 2009). Gingivitis does not necessarily lead to periodontitis and periodontitis do not always lead to tooth loss (Ohlrich, Cullinan, & Seymour, 2009); though gingivitis always occurs before periodontitis (Perschbacher, 2009).

Periodontitis is one of the most common diseases affecting the population with 10-15% incidence rate among

periodontal diseases are prevalent human diseases defined by the signs and symptoms of gingival inflammation and/or periodontal tissue destruction.These diseases are conventionally diagnosed by clinical evaluation of the signs of inflammation in the gingiva without periodontal tissue destruction (gingivitis) or by the presence of both inflammation and tissue destruction periodontitis). A clinical diagnosis of periodontitis ismade by measuring the loss of connective tissue attachment to the root surface -clinical attachment loss- and loss of alveolar bone -radiographic bone loss- This information provides evidence of past periodontal destruction, as well as its extent and severity.
