PERIODONTAL POCKET

Page 2: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

DEFINITION

• A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus.

• It is one of the most important clinical features of periodontal diseases.

Page 3: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

CLASSIFICATION

• Gingival pocket• Periodontal Pocket

Suprabony(supracrestal/supraalveolar)

Intrabony(infrabony/subcrestal/intraalveolar)

Page 4: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

CLINICAL FEATURES

• Bluish red,thickend marginal gingiva• Bluish red vertical zone(GM AM)• Gingival bleeding• Suppuration• Tooth mobility• Diastema formation• Symptoms-localised pain/pain deep in the bone

Page 5: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

PATHOGENESIS

• Inflammatory changes in CT of GS• Cellular&fluid inflm. exudate causes• degeneration of CT&gingival fibers• Just apical to JE collagen fibers destroyed• Area is occupied by inflammatory cells & edema

Page 6: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

PATHOGENESIS Contd..

• Two mechanism of collagen loss

Collagenases+Enzymes secreated by fibroblasts,PMNs&Macrophages- MMPs became extracellular &destroyes collegen

fibroblast phagocytise collagen fibers by extending cytoplasmic process to the ligamentum-cementum interface&degrade collagen fibrils&fibrils of cementum matrix

Page 7: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

PATHOGENESIS Contd..

• As a result of the loss of collagen the apical cells of JE proliferate along the root ,extending finger like projections 2/3cells in thickness.

• PMNs invade the coronal end of JE in no.• PMNs not joined to one another/to epithelial cells by

desmosomes

Page 8: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

PATHOGENESIS Contd..

Relative volume of PMNs reaches 60%/more of JE

Tissue losses cohesiveness detach from tooth surface

Coronal portion of JE detach from the root as the apical portion migrate

Resulting in its apical shift &oral SE gradually occupies increased portion of the sulcus(pocket lining)

Page 9: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

PATHOGENESIS Contd…

• Extension of the JE along the root requires the presence of healthy epithelial cells.

• Marked degeneration/necrosis of JE impairs rather than accelerates pocket formation(NUG-ulcer and not pocket formation)

Page 10: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

HISTOPATHOLOGY

Page 19: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

ROOT SURFACE WALL

• In deepen pocket, collagenous fibers embedded in cementum destroyed&exposed to oral environment

• Remanants of sharpey’s undergo degeneration &create environment for penetration of viable bacteria

• Pathologic granules represent areas of collagen degeneration(optical/electron microscopy)

Page 20: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

ROOT SURFACE WALL Contd..

• Penetration of growth of bacteria leads to fragmentation&breakdown of the cementum

• Results in areas of necrotic cementum,seprated from the tooth by masses of bacteria

• Endotoxin also detected in the cemental wall of periodontal pocket

Page 21: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

DECALCIFICATION&REMINERALIZATION OF CEMENTUM

• se mineralization an exchange,on exposure to the oral cavity of minerals&organic components at cementum saliva interface

• se in disease root surface,Ca,Mg,P,&F

• Hypermineralised zone 10-20µm thick& up to 50µm

Page 22: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

AREAS OF DEMINERALIZATION

• Commonly related to root caries• Exposure to oral fluid&bacterial plaque results

proteolysis of sharpey’s fibers• Cementum may be softened &undergo

fragmentation&cavitation• Active root caries lesions-yellowish/light brown

areas ,covered with plaque&soft• Inactive lesions- darker with smooth surface&harder

consistency• Actinomyces viscosus major organism& others

Page 23: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

SURFACE MORPHOLOGY OF THE TOOTH WALL OF PP

1-cementum covered by calculus2-attached plaque3-the zone unattached plaque4-the zone where JE is attached to the tooth5-zone of semidestroyed CT fibres3,4,5-plaque free zones-it is remember that plaque free zone refers to attached plaque -unattached plaque contains gm+ve

cocci,rods,filaments,fusiforms&spirochetes-most apical zone contains gm-ve rods&cocci

Page 24: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE ACTIVITY

*reduced inflammatory response

*little/no bone&CT attachment loss

*unattached plaque with gm-ve motile&anaerobic bacteria

Page 25: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE ACTIVITY Contd..

• Period of excervation: *bone & CT attachment loss *pocket deepens *this period may lost for days/months&is followed

by period of remission/quiescence

• These periods of quiescence& excervation are also known as period of activity&period of inactivity

Page 26: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

SITE SPECIFICITY

• Periodontal destruction does not occur in all parts of the mouth but rather on a few teeth at a time or even only some aspect of some teeth at any given time

• Severity of periodontal diseases increases by the development of new disease site, the increased breakdown of existing sites

Page 27: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

PULP CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH PERIODONTAL POCKETS

• Spread of infection from PP may cause pathologic changes in the pulp

• Such changes give rise to painful symptoms

• Involvement of pulp in the periodontal diseases through apical foramen/lateral canals

Page 28: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

RELATION OF CAL&BONE LOSS TO POCKET DEPTH

• Severity of attachment loss is generally not correlated with pocket depth

• Degree of attachment loss depends on the location of the base of the pocket on the root surface

• Where as pocket depth is the distance between the base of the pocket &crest of the gingival margin

Page 29: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.

AREA BETWEEN THE BASE OF POCKET&ALVEOLAR BONE

• Also known as lateral/parietal abscess• Abscess localized in gingiva(gingival abs)

• Microscopically: -localized accumulation of viable&non viable

PMNs pus(center) -acute inflammatory reaction surrounds the

purulent area &overlying epithelium -acute abscess chronic abcess

Page 31: PERIODONTAL POCKET. DEFINITION A periodontal pocket is defined as pathologically deepened gingival sulcus. It is one of the most important clinical features.
