Periodontal disease - Coggle Diagram
Periodontal disease
peridontitis
also affects the non-gingival components of the periodontist (periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone)
-
with increasing bone loss, the tooth becomes mobile and ultimately exfoliates
-
diagnosis
-
-
-
measure gingival sulcus, gingival and periodontal pocket depths and score tooth mobility, furcation exposure, plaque index, calculus index and gingival index and periodontal disease classification along with radiographic exam of teeth and alveolar bone
quantitative light induced fluorescence reliable, reproducible method for assessment of plaque deposition in cats
treatment
-
-
-
-
closed
root planing, gingival curettage and local antiseptics/antibiotics
open
periodontal flats, allowing osseous and regernative surgery
-
causes
plaque
-
aerobic bacteria in deeper parts of plaque layer consume any remaining oxygenation, creating an anaerobic enrolment that is favourable for development of anaerobic periodontal pathogens
-
-
gingival enlargement
-
-
-
-
juvenile hyperplastic gingitivitis in adolescent cats 
-
treatment
-
-
most cat teeth have less than 2mm of attached gingiva, gingival surgery should be executed carefuly
Gingivitis
-
does not always progress to, but always precedes periodontitis
with continued inflammation, the gingiva detaches from the tooth, creating a periodontal pocket
-
-
-
periodontium
functional unit consisting of the gingiva, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and cementum
periodontal disease is inflammation and infection of the periodontal by plaque bacteria and hosts response to bacterial insult
