Smoking and Periodontal Disease

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What medical problems are tobacco related to?   Cancer, low birth weight, pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease.  
🗑
What is a correlation between smoking and periodontal disease?   influences outcome of periodontal health (i.e. prevalence, extent, and severity)  
🗑
Why must we understand the relationship between smoking and periodontal disease?   manage the disease as effectively as possible.  
🗑
What is the correlation between smoking and gingivitis?   Inflammatory response is reduced and there is a decrease of expression of clinical inflammation.  
🗑
Smoking and periodontitis increases your chance of what?   prevalence and severity of destruction, increased pocket depth, attachment loss, bone loss, rate of destruction, and tooth loss.  
🗑
What can smoking due to a periodontal patient?   Increased the prevalence and make periodontitis severe  
🗑
Smoking and periodontitis cessation decreased what?   prevalence and severity  
🗑
What is the NHANES III study come to a result of?   Smokers were 4 times as likely to have periodontitis than people who had never smoked.  
🗑
What were the NHANES III results of perio cases attributable to current smoking?   42%  
🗑
What were the NHANES III results of perio cases attributable to former smokers?   11%  
🗑
The number of years of tobacco use if significant factor in what?   tooth loss, coronal root caries, and perio disease  
🗑
What is the five step program?   ask, advise, assess, assist, and arrange  
🗑
Ages 19-30 who smoke are how much more likely to have periodontitis than non-smokers?   3.8 times  
🗑
Young people who are smoking more than how many cigarettes per day are at risk for what?   15, tooth loss  
🗑
Alteration of host bacterial interaction must be what?   qualitative rather than quantitative  
🗑
What are the main pathogens in periodontitis?   T. Forsythensis, A.a and P. gingivalis  
🗑
Why do smokers not respond to mechanical therapy as well as nonsmokers?   Increased levels of T. Forsythensis, A.a and P. gingivalis microbes after therapy  
🗑
What protective elements does smoking affect from out immune response?   alteration in neutrophil numbers and function, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and reduced levels of IgG  
🗑
TNF means what?   Tumor Necrosis Factor  
🗑
What is TNF?   a cytokine involved in the inflammatory process  
🗑
What is Elastase?   an enzyme that breaks down proteins  
🗑
What does matrix MMP do?   proliferates cells, migration, and differentiation and host defense  
🗑
MMP means what?   Matrix metalloproteinase  
🗑
Chemotaxis   movement of small organisms and single cells in response to chemical signals from their enviroments  
🗑
Phagocytosis   process in which certain living cells ingest or engulf other cells or particles  
🗑
IgG stands for what?   Immunoglobulin G  
🗑
IgG   found in body fluids, smallest but most common antibodies  
🗑
What correlates with smoking and the physiology of the mouth?   lowered inflammatory response, alterations in vascular response  
🗑
What is less when smoking is involved with our physiology?   GCF. BOP, gingival blood vessels, oxygen concentration in tissues/  
🗑
What changes occur when smoking changes our physiology?   lead to decreased blood flow and decreased signs of inflammation  
🗑
What is the response of smoking to nonsurgical periodontal therapy?   less pocket depth and gain in attachment  
🗑
What is the response of smoking to surgical periodontal therapy?   less favorable response than non-smokers, almost the same as nonsurgical periodontal therapy  
🗑
Many smokers are what?   refractory (90% are smokers)  
🗑
Smoking and maintenance therapy include what?   more plaque, deeper pockets, less gain in attachment  
🗑
When is smoking more common?   low income, less educated  
🗑
When is smoking higher in prevalence?   males than females and non Hispanic black men  
🗑
T/F Former smokers had lower odds of periodontal disease as the number of years since quitting increased   True  
🗑
T/F Even with the use of antimicrobials, nonsurgical periodontal therapy still has less pocket depth reduction.   True  
🗑
