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
