etiology of syphilis? |
Treponema pallidum – An anaerobic spirochete |
|
two types of syphilis? |
congenital and acquired |
|
CongenitalSyphilis two ways? |
1. Acquired in utero, but not before the fourth month 2. Oral Lesions |
|
3 types of developmental teeth/tissue disorders from congenital syphilis |
hutchinson's incisors, mulberry molars, soft tissue |
|
what are Hutchinson’sincisors? |
screwdriver shaped incisors caused by syphilis during tooth development |
|
what are mulberry molars? |
malformedfirst molars, with small nodules of enamel occlusally vs cusps |
|
what is soft tissue? |
Gummas,glossitis, mucous patches, rhagades (fissuring and scarring in the commisures) |
|
two types of acquired syphilis? |
primary and secondary |
|
primary syphilis is from? transmitted how? |
Follows sexual activity that involves direct contact with a syphiliticlesion. The organism can be transmittedby vaginal, anal or oral sex. |
|
primary lesion appears when? appears where and how? heals? |
usuallya genital chancre that appears three weeks after exposure. It appears at the site of entry, and isusually firm, round , small and painless. Spontaneous healing in 3-6 weeks |
|
how will primary syphilis progress? |
Will progress to secondarystage without treatment |
|
secondary syphilis Symptoms |
Sorethroat, malaise, fever, chills, macular cutaneous eruptions |
|
a. Secondary lesion description? |
mucouspatches |
|
Secondary lesion appears? lesion begins when?borders are? |
When lesion appears grayisherosions usually occur on the tongue, lips, tonsils.- Lesions begin 5-6 weeks after chancre disappearsand are very infective to dental clinicians.-Borders are often irregular and resemble “snailtracks”. |
|
secondary syphilis progression? |
Will progress to tertiarystage without treatment |
|
TertiarySyphilis Manifestations |
– Manifests years later in the CNS, CVS, skeleton, skin and almost anyorgan - Gummas |
|
Tertiarylesion Description |
circumscribedlesions consisting of inflammation and rubber-like necrosis. |
|
Tertiarylesion Location |
On palate, may progress to perforation |
|
Syphiliticglossitis |
chronicinflammation of the tongue |
|
Diagnosis of Acquired Syphilis 2 things |
a. Darkfield microscopy toidentify spirochetes b. Blood test to detectsyphilitic antibodies (VDRL) |
|
Treatmentof Acquired Syphilis |
a. Penicillin – single doseif condition is less than 1 yearduration b. Penicillin – larger doseneeded for more established disease c. PCN allergy – alternateantibiotics |
|
Gonorrhea cause? |
infectionby neisseria gonorrhoeae after sexual contact. |
|
incubation period of gonorrhea |
1 to 4 weeks |
|
gonorrhea symptoms for males |
sudden and frequent painfulurination, mucopurulent discharge, fever |
|
gonorrhea symptoms for females |
symptomsnot as evident but ultimately more destructive |
|
gonorrhea symptoms for newborns |
Opthalmianeotorum – Gonoccocal eye infection ina newborn |
|
gonorrhea oral lesions appear |
painfulwhite, yellow or gray patches which slough off leaving bleeding points. Observe on gingiva, tongue and soft palate |
|
treatment for gonorrhea |
1.penicillin 2.tetracycline 3.erythromycin ointmentin eyes of newborn |
|
AcquiredImmunodeficiency Syndrome cause (4) |
1. Virus-Human ImmunodeficiencyVirus (HIV), which is classified as a retrovirus. 2. Parasitic nature-Unlikebacteria, viruses are parasites that can only reproduce within living cells.75-100% of those infectedwith HIV will get AIDS 3. CD4 T helper lymphocytes-keycells in immune system function of fighting microbial infection, are infectedwith HIV 4. Opportunistic infections andtumors-- Defects in T cells (# or function) = + susceptibility to opportunistic infections and tumors |
|
Epidemiology of HIV |
1. homosexual men 2. IV drug users 3. Heterosexual contact 4. Children of infected mothers 5. Recipients of bloodtransfusion, blood components or tissue 6. Unidentified risk |
|
transmission of HIV (4) |
1. Sexual contact with infected persons 2. exposure to infected Blood products 3. Mother to newborn through the placenta – 4. Only blood, semen, vaginal secretions andbreast milk have been proven to transmit the virus. There is no evidence that HIV is transmittedthrough saliva. |
|
Oral Manifestations of HIV 12 |
Candidiasis,Kaposi’ssarcoma,Hairyleukoplakia,Angularcheilitis,NonHodgkin’s lymphoma,HIVrelated periodontal disease,Oralwarts,HerpesZoster,NUG, Petechiae,Recurrent pathos ulcers,Herpessimplex |
|
Candidiasis -early sign? -most common in? -seen where in mouth? |

|
Angularcheilitis usually observed in? - when present in young person what is suspected? -appears as? |
– Usually observed in the elderly – When present in a young person, suspect HIV infection – Appears as fissures or ulcers radiating from the commissures |
