How does bacteria attach to the pellicle?
Through adhesions which are located on fimbriae. They are usually proteins known as lectins. They link to glycoproteins of the pellicle.
How does saliva inhibit the attachment of bacteria to the pellicle?
By coating the bacteria and blocking their receptors. Also through agglutinate which prevents bacteria from adhering to the pellicle.
Explain what happens to primary colonizers during days 1 - 2 undisturbed (phase 1)
The bacteria secrete extracellular slime layer (glycocalyx).
Explain the extracellular slime layer
It is protective in nature, acts like a "glue" and if it goes 2 days undisturbed it will be mainly gram + faculative (Actinomyces species, streptococci)
Explain what happens to primary colonizers during days 2 - 4 undisturbed (phase 2)
The 2nd "wave" of bacteria attach this is when coaggregation occurs (ability of new bacteria to attach to the established colonies). Different bacteria will like together via extracellular polysaccharides (glucans, fructans, levans)
Explain what happens to primary colonizers during days 4 - 7 undisturbed (phase 3)
Begin to see motile bacteria, cells begin to grow away from the surface, cell division is rapid in early development (cell divison is primarily responsible for growth once tooth has been initially covered with primary colonizes), bacterial blooms (rapid, accelerated growth of groups or specific species of bacteria), changes are subclinical
Proliferation of bacteria, which happens during days 4 -7, is dependent upon...
Avilability of nutrients, pH, and O2 reduction potential
Explain what happens to primary colonizers during days 7 - 11 undisturbed (phase 3)
Plaque matures (cell division is slower in maturity), begin to see gingival inflammatory changes (subclinical)
What happens to undisturbed plaque?
The gingival margin becomes inflamed, sulcus deepens, and biofilm grows deeper into the sulcus.
What type of plaque is intiated by mature supra?
Subgingival plaque. The microflora is more anaerobic, more gram -, more motile, and more asaccharolytic.
What is subgingival plaques nutrient source?
Mainly tissue breakdown and GCF
FYI supragingival plaques nutrient source is saliva
Inflammation DOES NOT appear until....
...biofilm changes from mainly gram + to gram - anaerobes. This usually takes 3 - 12 weeks after initial formation of supragingival plaque for subgingival infestation and inflammation
________ biofilm is associated with gingivitis.
Supragingival which acquires most of nutrients form the oral cavity and can come into contact with the margin
________ biofilm is associated with periodontitis.
Subgingival, which is is below the gingival margin.
What role does glycocalyx play in the extracelluar slime layer?
It is embedded in the extracellular slime layer which is secreated by the bacteria.
True or False: Biofilm is only found in the oral cavity?
False, it is found on any surface that is exposed to bacteria containing fluid (rocks, heart valves)
Extracellular slime layer is _______ in nature.
Protective
Antibiotics that kill free-floating bacteria would need to be increassed 1500x in potency to kill biofilm bacteria because...
DUE TO THICK SLIME LAYER, SUBSTANCES RELEASED BY LEUKOCYTES WILL DAMAGE THE HOST MORE THAN BIOFILM, The slime layer prevents penetration into the "heart" of the biofilm, bacteria become resistant to antimicrobials by producing thicker slime (glycocalyx), slime layer protects againts leukocytes
How does biofilm communite?
Fluid channels permeate slime layer delivering O2, nutrients, and eliminate waste. They communicate through chemotaxis (messagers)
What is bacterial virulence?
When bacteria comes into contact with something, what it does.
What gereralities influence virulence factors?
Inherent pathogenic potential or a bacterium, the environment (proximity to the tissues), interaction with the host (ability to evade host defense, ability to destory tissues)
Virulence factors: Periodontitis specific bacteria must:
Establish themselves near the host tissue (avoid being eliminated by saliva or exudates), Find appropriate nutrition, avoid defense mechanisms of the host and other microoganisms, and be cabable of destorying periodontal tissues.
Name the 3 zones of subgingival biofilm
Tooth-attached, epithelial attached (tissue attached), and unattached
Describe tooth-attached
Attach to the tooth from the gingival margin apically, inner core mainly gram + (streptococcus sanguis, actinomyces viscosus), less virulent, associated with calculs formation and root carries, removed by scaling and root planing (perio debridment)
Describe epithelial-attached
Loosely attached to epithelial wall of pocket, closest to the tissue will have gram -, anaerobic bacteria and spirochetes (P. gingivalis, A.A), most injourious to periodontal tissues (most virulent), greatest bacterial toxin levels, associated with different forms of periodontitis, and cannot be removed by scaling and root planing (perio debridement)
Describe unattached
Free floating, gram -, anaerobic rods and spirochetes, layer between tissues associated and tooth associated, have been found to play a role in the initiation progression of periodontitis (more virulent then supra) and easiest to remove due to no attachment (water pik)
In gingivitis there is an increased number of bacteria seen in heath with the addition of...
Prevotella intermedia, spirochetes (won't see in health) and Fusobacterium
Describe Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans
NKA: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Gram - facultative rod, aggressive/refractory periodontitis, 25% of chronic periodontitis, can evade normal host responses, difficult to eradicate, and is transmissable

What are the direct effects of bacterial actions? (What makes them virulent)
Endotoxins, exotoxins, enzymes (bacterial) and enzymes (host-derived)
What are the indirect effects of bacterial actions?
Host immune response is triggered by bacterial antigens, can be destructive as well as protective
What are the common enzymes that break down periodontal tissue?
Collagenese, Hyaluronidase, chondroitin sulfatase, proteases, and elastases
What does collagenese do?
Degrades collage fibers, this is produced in the body
What does hyaluronidase do?
Affects the ground substance within the connective tissue which increases tissue permeability
What does chondroitin do?
Destorys cementing substances of cells and tissues
What does proteases do?
Break down noncollagenous proteins and increase capillary permeability
What does elastases do?
Affect elastin fibers which reduce tissue integrity
What do bacterial enzymes do?
Harm or destory host cells
The main bacterial enzymes is? What does it do?
Proteases. Increases sulcular epithelial permeability, assist in the breakdownof gingival fiver collagen, promote apical migration of the JE, cause wideningof the intercellular spaces, limit the ability of immunoglobin and proteins to help in host defense.
