objective symptoms
Symptoms that can be seen by anyone
subjective symptoms
symptoms that can be felt, such as itching, burning, or pain
odontalgia
toothache
Etiology
cause of disease
acute
New, usually of rapid onset and of concern, opposite of chronic
exogenous
Produced outside the body
ex hypothermia caused by cold
Endogenous
Produced within the body
ex: tumors
degenerative
breaking down
Nosocomial
hospital acquired infection
Aerobic
bacteria that require oxygen to live and grow
faculative aerobe
bacteria that can live in oxygen but don't need oxygen
Anaerobic
bacteria that can live without oxygen
facultative anaerobes
bacteria that do best without oxygen, but can live with it
spore
A reproductive cell with a hard, protective coating
Endospore
A small, rounded, thick-walled, resting cell that forms inside a bacterial cell
Viruses
, tiny parasitic organisms that cause disease
Rickettsia
a small bacterium that lives in lice, fleas, ticks, and mites
Vector
carrier (of disease, for example lice, fleas, ticks)
protozoa
small animal parasites or organisms. Cause malaria, dysentery, & encephalitis
Saprophytes (decomposers)
feed on dead or decaying organisms
Nematodes
a parasitic worm such as a roundworm or threadworm.
commensal
describes an organism that lives symbiotically with a host; this host neither benefits nor
suffers from the association
Blood borne pathogens
Disease-causing organisms transferred through contact with blood or other body fluids
Port of entry for disease
Droplet infection, indirect infection, contact infection, parenteral, carrier infection, vector-
Bourne infection, food, soil or water infection.
droplet infection (aerosol)
airborne infection discharged from mouth or nose
Indirect Infection
infection caused by improper handling of materials or contamination of items leading to
infection
contact infection
infection that is passed directly through intimate relationship- contact with saliva, blood,
or mucous membranes
Parenteral
"needle stick" refers to piercing of the skin or mucous membrane
carrier infection
exchange of disease by direct or indirect contact with an infected human or animal
food, soil, or water infection
infection passed along by microbes present in these media
chain of infection
infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry,
susceptible host
waste disposal
Universal Precaution: Proper disposal of saliva, blood, skin, mucous membrane
droplets.
immunizations(for health of dental team)
Universal Precaution: People, equiptment; instruments; water.
Lesions
Universal Precaution: Bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, rickettsia
treatment of secondary infection
Universal Precaution: immunosuppression medically compromised elderly
immunizations
