Various Factors Determining Bone Morphology In Periodontal Disease (i) Normal variation in alveolar bone (ii) Exostoses (iii) Trauma from occlusion (iv) Buttressing bone formation (v) Food impaction (vi) Aggressive periodontitis

Various Anatomic Features That Influence Bone Destructive

Patterns In Periodontal Disease. (i) Thickness, width and crestal angulation of the interdental septa (ii) Thickness of facial and lingual alveolar plates (iii) Presence of fenestration and dehiscence (iv) Alignment of teeth (v) Proximity with another tooth surfaces (vi) Root and root trunk anatomy (vii) Root position within alveolar bone

Various Causes Of Bone Destruction (i) Extension of gingival inflammation (ii) Trauma from occlusion (iii) Systemic disorders. Various Systemic Disorders Which Cause Bone Destruction (i) Hyperparathyroidism (ii) Leukemia (iii) Langerhan’s cell histiocytosis

Changes In The Bone Could Be As Follows:

Gingival inflammation ↓

Marrow spaces ↓

Replaced by leukocytes and fluid exudates, new blood vessels and proliferating fibroblasts

↓ Increase in osteoclasts and mononuclear cells

↓ Thinning of bone trabeculae and enlargement of the marrow spaces

↓ Destruction of the bone and reduction in bone height

↓ Replacement of fatty bone marrow with the fibrous type

(around the resorption areas)

various mechanisms of bone destruction According to Hausmann, the various mechanisms of bone destruction are: (i) Direct action of plaque products on bone progenitor cells induces the differentiation of these cells into osteoclasts. (ii) Plaque products act directly on bone, destroying it through a noncellular mechanism. (iii) Plaque products stimulate gingival cells, causing them to release mediators, which in turn induce bone progenitor cells to differentiate into osteoclasts. (iv) Plaque products causes gingival cells to release agents that can act as cofactors in bone resorption. (v) Plaque products causes gingival cells to release agents that destroy bone by direct chemical action, without oseoclasts.

Osseous Defects • One walled osseous defects • Two walled osseous defects • Three walled osseous defects

: only one bony wall is present

: two bony walls are present

: three bony walls are present

(v) Reversed architecture

defects are produced by loss of interdental bone plates without loss of radicular bone (more common in maxilla)

They are plateau-like bone margins caused by resorption of thickened bony plates.

Bone Destruction in Periodontal Disease • Bacteria mediated — LPS, lipoteichoic acid, lipoproteins and others. • Host mediated — prostaglandins, leukotrienes, cytokines and others. • Combination of both. Diagnosis of Osseous Defects a. Clinical examination — transgingival probing. b. Radiographs — not very reliable, cannot reveal the extent of involvement and presence/absence of bony walls. c. Surgical exposure — during flap operations, it is the only reliable method for determining the true architecture of a bony defect
