Local predisposing factors in periodontal disease

Are oral conditions or habits that increase an individual`s susceptibility to periodontal disease

These factors don't initiate gingivitis or periodontitis but contribute to the disease process initiated by dental plaque

Increase plaque retention Interfere with plaque removal Induce direct damage to periodontal tissues

DENTAL PLAQUE

Dental plaque can be defined as the soft deposits that form the biofilm adhering to the tooth surface or other hard surfaces in the oral cavity, including removable and fixed restorations.

DENTAL PLAQUE

Subgingival plaque

Supragingival plaque

Plaque Composition

1-Microorganisms which exits within an intercellular matrix.

Gram positive: S. sanguis, A. viscousus. (initial colonizers) Gram negative: P. intermedia, F.nucleatum.(secondary colonizers)

Plaque Composition2-The intercellular matrix consists of

Organic constituents of the matrix include polysaccharides, proteins,

glycoproteins and lipid material.

Inorganic component of plaque is predominately calcium and phosphorus and other minerals such as sodium, potassium and fluoride

1-CALCULUS

Consist of mineralized bacterial plaque that forms on the surfaces of natural teeth and dental prostheses

1-CALCULUS

SUPRAGINGIVAL CALCULUS

Sub gingival Calculus

FORMATION OF CALCULUS

Between the first and 14th days of plaque formation(4 to 8 hours). Saliva supra gingival calculus G. Fluid sub gingival calculus. Calcification begins along the inner surface of the plaque.

2 .DENTAL STAINS

Dental stains may lead to tissue irritation by creating a rough tooth surface, which contributes to plaque accumulation and retention.

3 -LATROGENIC FACTORS

Deficiencies in the quality of dental restorations or prostheses are contributing factors for gingival inflammation and periodontal destruction.

a-Over hanging Margins of Restorations b. Over contoured crown c. Open Contacts


a-Over hanging Margins of Restorations Contribute to the development of periodontal disease by :- 1- changing the ecology of the gingival sulcus to an area that favors the growth of disease associated gram-negative anaerobic microorganism2- inhibiting the patient performed plaque control


b. Over contoured crown :Over contoured crowns and restorations tend to accumulate plaque possibly prevent the self- cleaning mechanisms of the adjacent cheek, lips and tongue.


c. Open Contacts: Food particles create a favorable environment for plaque accumulation. Acts as a direct mechanical irritant to the tissue.

4-DESIGN OF REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES

After the insertion of RPD :Mobility of abutment teethGingival inflammation Periodontal pocket formationIncrease RPD accumulation of plaque if worn day and night induce changes in the plaque composition spirochetes

5 .RESTORATIVES DENTISTRY PROCEDURES

In general restorative materials are not injurious to the periodontal tissues with possible exception of self cure acrylic resin

Surface texture of restorative materials differ in their ability to retain plaque

Dental procedures themselves can damage gingival tissues and produce gingival recession as tooth preparation, rubber dam placement and gingival retraction

6.Malocclusion

Irregular alignment of teeth or crowding as found in cases of malocclusion enhance retention of bacterial plaque and make plaque control more difficult . Several investigators have found a direct relation between crowding and periodontal disease

7 -Anatomic variation of soft tissue and teeth

Cervical enamel projection they develop more commonly on buccal surfaces of mandibular molars

These projections are plaque retentive and can cause loss of periodontal att. at furcation area Enamel pearls in furcation area of maxillary molars High frenum attachment become problem if the attachment is too close to the

marginal gingiva , tension on frenum may pull the gingiva away from the tooth plaque acc. & prevent proper tooth brushing & pocket and gingival recession

8 .Orthodontic Therapy

Orthodontic therapy may affect the periodontium by favoring plaque retention , by :

1- directly injuring the gingiva as result of overextended bands 2- creating excessive forces , unfavorable forces or both on the tooth and supporting structures. Plaque retention and compositionOrthodontic appliances modify plaque composition anaerobic g-ve bacteriaAs ( prevotella intermedia ) Gingival trauma Orthodontic bands shouldn't be placed beyond the level of epithelial attachment because This will result on apical proliferation of jun. epithelium gingival recession

9 -Hypofunction

Insufficient occlusal force may be injurious to the supporting periodontal tissues

number & thickness of cancellous bone trabeculae atrophy of periodontal ligament Hypofunction results from open bite , absence of functional

antagonists and unilateral chewing habits that neglect one side of the mouth .

10 -Unreplaced Missing Teeth

Mesial drifting of adjacent teeth Over eruption of apposing teeth open contact

between teeth plaque retention , food impaction gingival inflammation and bone resorption

11 -Food Impaction And Food Retention

Defined as forceful wedging of food into the periodontium by occlusal forces , it can lead to gingival trauma and inflammation . Attachment loss, bone loss

Food retention : caused by lateral pressure from lips , cheeks or tongue which may force food interproximally into wide embrasure spaces

Lead to gingival inflammation & bleeding & gingival recession

12 -Parafunctional Habits

Can produce direct injury to gingival and periodontal tissues Bruxism :

- involuntary unconscious and excessive grinding of teeth - Etiology nervous tension ( stress) occlusal interference (high filling) - Effect : teeth wear & mobility PDL widening Muscle of mastication hypertrophy TMJ clicking


Tongue thrusting : - Etiology Thumb sucking Nervous thrusting Nasal congestion or obstruction Large tonsils or adenoid large tongue – short lingual frenum


Toothbrush trauma : abrasions of the gingiva as well as alterations in tooth structure may result from aggressive tooth brushing with a hard toothbrush gingival recession & exposure of root Mouth breathing : associated with gingival inflammation Chemical irritation :Ex: mouthwash & topical app. Of aspirin
