Not equal for all people

Interleukin - 1 gene (IL-1) Occurs in 30% of the population. people with it are 7x more likely to develop perio

genetic factors that act on and modify host responses to the microbial challenge are major determinants of susceptibility to periodontitis

incidence increases with age - likely due to result of cumulative effects of bacterial irritation of the tissues over many years

level of education has clear effect

males have greater incidence and severity

Long term stress increasses susceptibility to perio infection

Stress may depress immunie system

Hormones

pregnancy

puberty

oral contraceptives

menopause/osteoporosis estrogen deficiency may play a role in the progression of periodontitis

Bisphosphonates - no osteoclasts to absorb necrotic bone resulting in osteonecrosis of the jaw

risk factors for ONJ: corticosteroid, diabetes, smoking, alcohol use, poor oral hygiene, chemotheraputic drugs

several blood dyscrasias have been associated with uncommon forms of perio: agranulocytosis, neturopenia, and leukemia

Susceptible to NUP and NUG

Degree of immunodeficiency influences the prevalence and severity of periodontal diseases

deficiencies not been shown to cause periodontial diseases

Vitamin C plays important role in the function of fibroblasts, osteoblasts, and odontoblases

Vitamin D deficiency associated with periodontitis

Tobacco

Most significant risk facotr for severe periodontal diseases

53% of periodontal diseases attributed to smoking

2-6x more likely to have periodontal destruction

Past effects of smoking cannot be reversed but cessation is beneficial

Smoking modulates subgingival microflora by favoring colonzation with pathogens

can impair chemotaxis and phagocytosis of neutrophils

products of cigarette smoke remain on the root surfaces and in the gingival crevicular fluid

Alcohol

Increased risk for periodontitis and tooth loss

Drugs

xerostomia

Gingival overgrowth

associated with high plasma levels of TNF and may lead to a hyperinflammatory state

Untreated periodontitis can complicate glycemic control of patients with diabetes

more susceptible to periodontal disease

Severe attachment loss increased with decreased diabetic control

Control of infections may be essential to the establishment of good metabolic control

Heart disease is the most common condition shared by periodontitis patients

oral bacteria could enter the bloodstream which may trigger platelets to clump

Periodontitis and CVD are both associated with elevated levels of serum C-reactive protein

Women with periodontial disease may be 7-8x more likely to deliver premature

Prostaglandin E2 as a marker of current periodontal disease activity

Bacterial found in the oral cavity can be taken up into the lung to cause respiratory diseases

gram-negative pathogens from the oral cavity can spread to the brain
