Question
Answer

🗑
inflammation of the gingival tissue   gingivitis  
🗑
referring to the periodontium   periodontal  
🗑
inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth   periodontitis  
🗑
structures that surround,support,and are attached to the teeth   periodontium  
🗑
procedure in which a dental endoscope is used subgingivally   perioscopy  
🗑
soft deposit on teeth that consists of bacteria and bacterial by products   plaque  
🗑
referring to the area below the gingivae   subgingival  
🗑
referring to the area above the gingiva   supragingival  
🗑
commonly referred to as the gums, this mucosa covers the alveolar process of the jaws and surrounds the necks of the teeth   gingivae  
🗑
tissue at the base of the sulcus where the gingiva attaches to the tooth.   epithelial attachment  
🗑
space between the tooth and the free gingiva   sulcus  
🗑
dense connective fibers that connect the cementum covering the root of the tooth with the alveolar bone of the socket wall   periodontal ligaments  
🗑
covers the root of the tooth. The primary function of the cementum is to anchor the tooth to the bony socket with attachment of the periodontal ligaments   cementum  
🗑
bone that supports the tooth in its position within the jaw. The alveolar socket is the cavity in the bone that surrounds the tooth   alveolar bone  
🗑
what percentage of adults have some form of periodontal disease, and most are unaware of it   75  
🗑
recent evidence indicates that the presence of chronic inflammatory periodontal disease may significantly affect health conditions such as   coronary heart disease,stroke,or preterm birth  
🗑
individuals with severe periodontal disease have 3 times the risk for what   stroke  
🗑
individuals with severe periodontal disease have 3.6 times the risk for what   coronary heart disease  
🗑
women with severe periodontal disease have ____ times the risk for   7,preterm low birth weight babies  
🗑
what critical factors are in the risk for periodontal disease   type of bacteria, length of time bacteria are left undisturbed on the teeth, and patient response to bacteria  
🗑
bacteria in dental plaque cause inflammation by   producing enzymes and toxins that destroy periodontal tissues and lower host defenses  
🗑
what in the saliva forms calculus   calcium and phosphate salts  
🗑
what is the commonly used term for calculus   tartar  
🗑
where is supragingival calculus found   on the clinical crowns of the teeth above the margin of the gingiva  
🗑
what does supragingival calculus occur more frequently   near the openings of the wharton's ducts ( on the lingual surfaces of the lower anterior teeth)and stensen's ducts ( on the buccal surfaces of the maxillary molars  
🗑
what color is supragingival calculus   yellowish-white that may darken over time  
🗑
what color is subgingival calculus   dark green or black in color  
🗑
why is subgingival calculus the color it is   due to stain that results from subgingival bleeding  
🗑
subgingival calculus forms where   on root surfaces below the gingival margin and can extend into the periodontal pockets  
🗑
thin film of protein that quikly forms on teeth. It can be removed by coronal polishing with an abrasive agent   acquired pellicle  
🗑
soft mixture of bacteria and salivary proteins, also known as "white material" it is visible without the use of a disclosing agent and is common in individuals with poor oral hygiene   materia alba  
🗑
smoking,diabetes mellitus,poor oral hygiene,osteoporosis, HIV/AIDS,Stress,medications and Local factors   common risk factors for periodontal disease  
🗑
______ have greater loss of attachment, bone loss,periodontal pocket depths,calculus formation, and tooth loss.   Smokers  
🗑
Periodontal treatments are less effective in _______ than non ___________   smokers,smokers  
🗑
what is associated with depression of the immune system. Studies have shown a link between ____ and periodontal attachment loss.   Stress,stress  
🗑
what are the 2 basic forms of periodontal disease   gingivitis and periodontitis  
🗑
areas of redness and swelling, the gingiva bleeding easily and changes in the gingival contour and loss of tissue adaptation to the teeth all characterize what   gingivitis  
🗑
where is gingivitits found   only in the epithelium and in gingival connective tissues  
🗑
what is not associated with gingivitis   tissue recession, loss of connective tissue, or loss of bone  
🗑
gingivitis can be associated with   puberty,pregnancy,use of birth control medication and orthodontic appliances  
🗑
when the gingiva appears red, bulbous,spongy and hemorrhagic what is associated with these characteristics   severe vitamin C deficiency and scurvy  
🗑
the severity of periodontal disease is determined by assessment of the amount of loss attachment and listed in 3 catagories   slight or early, moderate and severe or advanced  
🗑
what measurement would be recorded form someone with moderate peridontitis   4,5,6,7mm  
🗑
NUG   necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
