Hey I can't seem to post comments on the blog, but i think i can reply here..
So about stress and perio.. I totally agree with Cat :)
Chronic stress is related to perio due to the decreased immune function and increased risk of suceptibiltiy to perio.
Also, not too sure if you've read the perio and stress articles yet, but some also suggest that people who are chronically stressed also have a poorer quality of life (due to social determinants- lifestyle choices, diet, income, etc)
Eg. they may choose to smoke to cope with their stress --> nicotine (smoking) has an effect on oral health --> increased risk of perio

Lets make a list of some imporatnt facts!
Great work so far team ..... on all the posts. Its been a pleasure reading them and watching your learning.
We are approaching the last 24 hours of our study period. It's time we made a list of some very important facts.
1. List all the most significant histological changes that are caused by:
a. diabetes - (please refer to the articles we used for the last tutorial. )
b. stress - (please refer to the articles we used for the earlier tutorial. )
(these are changes that would have a direct affect on the periodontium)
2. Using diabetes as an example, relate these histological changes to the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. What role do the periodontal pathogens play here? !!!
3. Lastly, if you had 10 minutes to make a diagnosis, what would be the important issues that you would need to consider to come to an accurate diagnosis!
Please try and do this is a summary format/dot points to help you with your last minute revision.

Stress and Perio
Hey gang,
we all know that stress plays a huge roll in perio. We went through it in one of the revision sessions, does anyone have a simple/perfect answer to the process that occurs with stress making someone more sucseptible to infection/perio?

Metformin, Norvasc and Crestor
Lets look at the above medications. Tell me what you know about them.
What are the pharmacological properties of each of these?
How do they interact with one another?
Why are they given to patients with diabetes?
Why are patients with diabetes prone to CVD?
Do any of these exert any oral effects? If so, how does an OHT manage these?
Lets get some serious discussion happening around these key questions.

Periodontitis & systemic release of endotoxins
How does this relationship influence the metabolic control of diabetes?

Response to posts so far
Maria, brilliant work!! Cath, you are right in classifying Type I diabetes as autoimmune. There is some debate/discussion of reclassifying Type II as an autoimmune disorder.
Is anyone interested in researching this further on this blog? Will definitley help with the OSCA prep!

Revision 2011 OSCA
Hi All
In preparation for the BOH 2 OSCA lets get some discussion going on the following topics:
What are cardiomyopathies? What do you need to consider when treating patients with these conditions?
Explain the pharmacological nature of the following:
ACE inhibitors & Angiotensin- II-receptor antagonists.
Beta 1-adrenoceptors and Beta 1-blockers as well!
Why is diabetes considered an autoimmune disorder?
Lets get the discussion flowing!

Lets brainstorm root morphology
Lets use this space to identify the morphological grooves and concavities we find on specific teeth in the mouth. Why is it important to recognise these?
This is a tricky one ....
Obesity is something we should look for when diagnosing perio. How is being obese associated with perio?

Perio Revision Questions: Lets start the ball rolling....
1. Is biofilm a risk factor for chronic periodontitis? Justify your answer.
How is ANUG treated?
2. What is considered to be the primary stress hormone?
3. Make a list of how smoking effects the periodontal tissues.
4. How long does it take for chronic gingivitis to heal after treatment?
5. Is CAL the same thing as recession?
6. Obesity is something we should look for when diagnosing perio. How is being obese associated with perio?
7. What are the causes of localised periodontitis?
8. What type of bone loss is associated with localised periodontitis?
9. What type of microbial flora is found in localised periodontitis?
These questions should stimulate some awesome discussion. Lets get going!!!
