TCDHA PERIO 1 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS LATEST 2025-2026 UPDATE |GRADE+
GUARANTEE
body response to inflammation - Answer-focuses host defence
components at the site of an infection to eliminate MOs and heal
damaged tissue
inflammatory biochemical mediators - Answer-Biologically active
compounds secreted by cells-activate the body's inflammatory response
chemokines - Answer-subgroup of cytokines- cause additional immune
cells to be attracted to site of infection/injury
acute inflammation - Answer-short term- normal process- protects and
heals body
-increased movement of plasma and leukocytes from blood into injured
tissues
5 signs of acute inflammation - Answer-heat, redness, swelling, pain,
loss of function
, chronic inflammaation - Answer-long lived- out of control- continues
for more than a few weeks
-can destroy healthy tissue and cause more damage than the original
problem
why does chronic inflammation occur - Answer-body is unable to rid
itself of invading organisms
chemical mediators - Answer-biologically active compounds- secreted
by cells that activate body inflammatory response
systemic risk factors - Answer-conditions/diseases-increase individual's
susceptibility to periodontal disease
by modifying/amplifying host response to periodontal pathogens
examples of systemic risk factors - Answer-• Tobacco use
• Diabetes mellitus
• Metabolic Syndrome
• Leukemia
• HIV-Infection
• Stress
• Osteoporosis
• Hormonal variations
, • Neutropenia
• Down syndrome
• Medication side effects
diabetes and perio disease - Answer-leads to hyperinflammatory
response to oral microbial biofilms and prevents resolution of
inflammation and repair
well controlled diabetes - Answer-have no more periodontal disease
than persons without diabetes
poorly controlled diabetes - Answer-3 times more likely to develop
periodontitis
-rapid recurrence of deep pockets
-reduced salivary flow
-multiple periodontal abscess formation
-cheilosis
-burning mouth/tongue
linear gingival erythema - Answer-LGE
-2-3mm marginal band of intense erythema- in free gingiva
-intensity of inflammation is exaggerated in relation to amount of plaque
biofilm
-does not affect clinical attachment levels/ alveolar bone levels
