Introduction
• The process of becoming older, a process that is genetically
determined and environmentally modulated.1
• It includes the complex interaction of biologic, psychologic, and
sociologic process over time.
• Thus, in contrast to the chronological milestones which mark
life stages in the developed world, old age in many developing
countries is seen to begin at the point when active contribution
is no longer possible." (Gorman, 2000)

• The geriatric population has been growing fast over the last
decades all over the world, changing demographics.
• Changes in biochemical and physiological processes occur with
aging in all body tissues, including the periodontium.
• Human ageing induces histo-physiological and clinical
alterations in oral tissues.2 (Mombelli A. 1998)
• These alterations must be understood to differentiate
pathological conditions from the altered physiology of oral
tissues resulting from ageing .3

Age dependent changes in periodontal tissues
• The tissues that support the teeth are called the periodontium,
which consists of gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and
alveolar bone.
• Anatomical and functional changes in periodontal tissues have
been reported as being associated with the ageing process.4 (Van
der Velden, 1984)
4/30/2018 8
Changes within gingival epithelium
• Thining of epithelium & diminished keratinization.5
• Increased epithelial permeability to pathogens.
• Decreased resistance to functional trauma.
• Rate of cell division in the basal layer of gingival epithelium has
not been shown to alter with increasing age.

Janeiro: Guanabara Koogan; 2004. p.51-5
• Cellular turnover rate slows down, leading to decline in the
production of both young cells and fibers in the gingiva.
• Epithelial density has been shown to be increased with age.
(Ryan 1974)
• Conflicting results have been reported regarding the shape of
the retepegs.
• A flattening of rete pegs and an increase in the height of the
epithelial ridges associated with ageing were both
demonstrated.

• In a morphological 3-dimensional study of the epithelium-
connective tissue interface, connective tissue ridges were
observed to be more prevalent in young individuals whereas
connective tissue papillae were predominant in old individuals.
• The change from ridges to papillae involves the formation of
epithelial cross-ridges with advanced age.4

281 -294.
• The effect of aging on location of junctional epithelium has
been the subject of much speculation.
• The apical migration of the junctional epithelium, with
consequent gingival recession.
• Gingival recession progression may occur due to several factors,
such as passive eruption caused by physiological wear of teeth,
a consequence of anatomically thin tissues and tooth brushing
trauma.

Carranza’s clinical periodontology 10th edition Chapter-6, Page No. 94.
• Apparently, gingival recession is not an avoidable physiological
process caused by aging, but a cumulative and progressive
effect from periodontal disease or trauma over time.5
(Needleman 2004)

Changes within gingival connective tissue
• Coarser and denser gingival connective tissue.
• Qualitative and quantitative changes to collagen include;
• increased rate of conversion of soluble to insoluble collagen.
• increased mechanical strength.
• increased denaturation temperature.
• These results indicate increased collagen stabilization caused by
the changes in the macromolecular conformation.
• There is also a reduction in the organic matrix production and in
vascularization, and an increase in the number of elastic fibers.
4/30/2018 16
• Connective tissue - Number of cellular elements decreases as
age increases.
• The fibroblasts are the main cells in the synthesis of periodontal
connective tissue.
• In vivo and in vitro studies have shown functional and structural
alterations in fibroblasts associated with ageing.6-8
• Reduction in the number of fibroblasts in the periodontal
ligament and also in its functional activity.

• Gingival fibroblasts (GF) are constantly affected by oral
bacteria and their products, such as the lipopolysaccharides
(LPS), present in their cell walls.
• The LPS induces GF to release some inflammatory cytokines
• The influence of these inflammatory mediators - both GF and
periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PLF) - the severity of
periodontal disease.6
4/30/2018 18
Changes in Periodontal Ligament
• Decreased number of fibroblasts.
• Decreased organic matrix production.
• Decreased epithelial cell rests.
• Decreased number of collagen fibers.
↓
reduction or loss in tissue elasticity
• Vascularity reduces with age.
4/30/2018 19
• Cells of PDL have reduced mitotic activity.
• Thickness of the periodontal ligament varies and may reduce
due to the reduction in the force applied by masticatory muscles
along the time in subjects with complete dentition or having
dental elements with no antagonist.10 (Marsillac M, 2005)
• On the other hand, when several elements are missing, there
might be an overload on the existing remaining teeth, with
consequent periodontal ligament thickening.11 (Zenobio EG,
2004)

Changes within the cementum
• Increase in cemental width is a common finding.
• Berglundh T. - study on dogs - Increase may be 5 to 10 times
with increasing age.12
• Van der Velden - Increase in width is greater apically and
lingually.13
• Deposition takes place mainly in apical region to compensate
for the physiological wear of teeth.

• Saverson et al. (1958) – Greater
cemental apposition in the apical region
is a response to the passive eruption of
the tooth.
• According to Ive et al. (1980), passive
eruption and migration of teeth involves
re- attachment of fibers between the
cementum and the periodontal ligament.
Increased cemental deposition might be
required to fulfil this.
• With advancing age, areas of cementum resorption followed by new
cemental apposition may be observed.
• This may result in irregular surface of cementum.
Changes in Alveolar bone
• Reduction of bone mass.
• More irregular periodontal surface of
bone.
• Less regular insertion of collagen
fibers.
• Increased bone resorption.
4/30/2018 23
• The reduction in bone formation might be due to a decrease in
osteoblast-proliferating precursors or to decreased synthesis
and secretion of essential bone matrix proteins.6
• The extracellular matrix surrounding osteoblasts has been
shown to play an important role in bone metabolism.
• A possible dysfunction of this matrix might occur
concomitantly with the ageing process.14

• Oxygen-free radicals have been reported to cause cellular
damage and, consequently, contribute to the ageing process.15,16
• In an in vitro study, oxygen radical-treated fibronectin (FN) was
found to inhibit bone nodule formation by osteoblasts when
compared to intact FN.
• This finding suggested that intact FN plays an important role in
osteoblast activity.
• FN damaged by oxygen radicals during the ageing process
might be related to less bone formation.

• Although age is a risk factor for the reduction of the bone mass
in osteoporosis, it is not causative and therefore distinguished
from physiologic aging process.
4/30/2018 26
Immune response
• Age has been recognized as having much less effect in
altering the host response.
• Difference between younger and older individuals can be
demonstrated for T and B cells, cytokines and natural killer
cells, but not polymorphonuclear cells and macrophages
activity.
4/30/2018 27
• McArthur17 concluded that “measurement of indicators of
immune & inflammatory competency suggested that, within the
parametes tested, there was no evidence for age related changes
in host defences correlating with periodontitis in an elderly
group of individuals, with and without disease.”

53.
Bacterial Plaque
• Dentogingival plaque accumulation increases with increase in
age.
• With increase in hard tissue surface area resulting from gingival
recession.
• The surface characteristics of the exposed root surface as a
substrate for plaque formation.
• Exposed cementum of the root surface and dental enamel
constitute two unlike types of hard dental tissues with distinct
surface characteristics, which may influence the plaque
formation rate differently.
4/30/2018 29
• For sub gingival plaque, increased number of entric rods and
pseudomonads in older adults. (Slots 1990)
• Periodontal pathogens specifically including an increased role
for P. gingivalis and decreased role for A.
actinomycetemcomitans.
4/30/2018 30
Association between periodontium and systemic
diseases
• Infectious diseases, such as periodontitis, cause inflammation
and contribute to levels of overall infection and inflammation in
the body and may trigger the beginning and/or the progression
of other diseases such as diabetes and arteriosclerosis.18
• There are two mechanisms through which infection and
inflammation apparently located in periodontal pockets may
harm general health:19
4/30/2018 31
The passage of periodontal
pathogens and their products
into circulation (bacteremia).
The passage of locally
produced inflammatory
mediators into circulation.
Diabetes Mellitus
4/30/2018 32JADA 2006;137(10 supplement):26S-31S.
Food Consumption
Breakdown of carbohydrates in
GIT and absorption of sugars
in bloodstream
Increased blood glucose
levels
Secretion of ꞵ- cells in
the pancreas
Insulin binds to target cell
receptors and allows entry of
glucose into the cell (used for
cellular energy)
Decreased blood
glucose levels
Type 1 Diabetes destroys ꞵ- cells
Type 2 Diabetes causes insulin
resistance at receptor and post
receptor levels
•It is suggested that the potential interactions between
diabetes and periodontitis seem to enhance the
morbidity of these two diseases.20
•The chronic hyperglycemic condition of diabetes is
associated with damage, dysfunction, or failure of
various organs and tissues, including the periodontium.
•It is due to the increased risk for infections in patients
with diabetes, impairment of the synthesis of collagen
and glycosaminoglycans by gingival fibroblasts, and
increased crevicular fluid collagenolytic activity,
Altered wound healing.21
4/30/2018 33
• It has been demonstrated by a meta-analysis study that patients
with types 1 and 2 diabetes had worse oral hygiene and higher
severity of gingival and periodontal diseases, compared to
nondiabetic subjects.22 (Khader YS. Et al. 2006)
• A multivariate risk analysis showed that subjects with type 2
diabetes had approximately threefold increased odds of having
periodontitis compared with subjects without diabetes, after
adjusting for confounding variables including age, sex and oral
hygiene measures.23 (Shlossman M. 2010)
4/30/2018 34
Coronary heart disease (CHD)
• Periodontal and cardiovascular diseases are common
inflammatory conditions in the human population,
atherosclerosis being the major component of the latter.
• Loesche et al. 2001 conducted a study on association between
periodontal disease and coronary heart disease.
• It was found that in patients with periodntal diseases there are
1.84 times more CHD.
4/30/2018 35
ROLE OF SUBGINGIVAL PLAQUE
4/30/2018 36
Subgingival plaque flora
Increased access to flora (compared to supra gingival plaque)
Via ulcerated epithelial lining of the pocket
Underlying connective tissue
Antimicrobial
potential in tissues
Cellular debris
Systemic circulation
Alterations in serum components of clotting
mechanisms
Elevated levels of fibrinogen
Risk of future coronary heart disease
Destroyed
• A meta-analysis study indicated that individuals with
periodontitis had 1.14 times higher risk of developing coronary
heart disease.24 (Bahekar AA 2007)
• The more severe the periodontal disease the easier the
periodontal pathogens could enter the circulation, reaching
blood vessels and atherosclerotic lesions.
4/30/2018 37
• Another linkage between periodontal disease and CHD is the
level of C-reactive protein, which is an acute-phase reactant in
response to infection or trauma and its high sustained level was
associated with advanced periodontitis.25 (Linden GJ 2008)
• Ridker et al. 2009 demonstrated that C-reactive protein levels
predict the risk of coronary events.26

PERIODONTAL TREATMENT PLANNING IN OLDER INDIVIDUALS
‘Goal of periodontal treatment is to preserve function and
prevent the progression of inflammatory disease’
- Factors must be considered in treatment planning
Patients
- General health status
- Medications
- Life style behaviors
- Ability to perform oral hygiene procedures
- Ability to tolerate treatment
- Amount of remaining periodontal support
4/30/2018 39
Operator side
- Decrease the length of surgical time
- Maintain open communication
- Minimize trauma
- Recalculate medication dosages
- Schedule morning appointment
- Non surgical approach – first treatment of choice.
- Surgical approach – depends on nature and extent of disease.
4/30/2018 40
Conclusion
• Aging dental patients have particular oral and general health
conditions that dentists should be familiar with detecting,
consulting and treating.
• Medical diseases and conditions that occur more often with age
may require modification to periodontal preventive tools as well
as the planning and treatment phases of periodontal care.

  • 2. Contents Introduction to Aging General Effects of aging Effect of aging on periodontium • Gingival epithelium • Gingival connective tissue • Periodontal ligament • Cementum • Alveolar Bone • Bacterial plaque • Immune response Systemic diseases & Periodontal health Conclusion 4/30/2018 2
  • 3. Introduction • The process of becoming older, a process that is genetically determined and environmentally modulated.1 • It includes the complex interaction of biologic, psychologic, and sociologic process over time. • Thus, in contrast to the chronological milestones which mark life stages in the developed world, old age in many developing countries is seen to begin at the point when active contribution is no longer possible." (Gorman, 2000) 4/30/2018 3 1. Webster's New World™ Medical Dictionary, 3rd Edition.
  • 4. • The geriatric population has been growing fast over the last decades all over the world, changing demographics. • Changes in biochemical and physiological processes occur with aging in all body tissues, including the periodontium. • Human ageing induces histo-physiological and clinical alterations in oral tissues.2 (Mombelli A. 1998) • These alterations must be understood to differentiate pathological conditions from the altered physiology of oral tissues resulting from ageing .3 4/30/2018 4 2. Mombelli A. Ageing and the periodontal and peri-implant microbiota. Periodontol 2000. 1998; 16: 44-52. 3. Savitt ED, Kent RL.

  • 6. Internal Renal Decreased renal blood flow  Leading to water retention, Difficulty in removing waste products. Vascular Rise in systolic blood pressure GIT Constipation and gas accumulation due to hypotonic musculature. Gonads Decrease estrogen and androgen secretion Liver Decrease hepatic function Pancreas Decrease function (diabetes) 4/30/2018 6
  • 7. Alternations in oral motor functions Lip posture Drooling, angular cheilitis. Muscles of mastication Efficiency of Mastication decreases. Tongue Speech, dysphagia, traumatic bite injury. Swallowing Dysphagia Taste Loss of sensation or decreased sensation. 4/30/2018 7
  • 8. Age dependent changes in periodontal tissues • The tissues that support the teeth are called the periodontium, which consists of gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. • Anatomical and functional changes in periodontal tissues have been reported as being associated with the ageing process.4 (Van der Velden, 1984) 4/30/2018 8
  • 9. Changes within gingival epithelium • Thining of epithelium & diminished keratinization.5 • Increased epithelial permeability to pathogens. • Decreased resistance to functional trauma. • Rate of cell division in the basal layer of gingival epithelium has not been shown to alter with increasing age. 4/30/2018 9 5. Needleman I. Envelhecimento e o periodonto. In: Newman MG, Takei HH, Carranza FA. Periodontia clínica. 9.ed. Rio de Janeiro: Guanabara Koogan; 2004. p.51-5
  • 10. • Cellular turnover rate slows down, leading to decline in the production of both young cells and fibers in the gingiva. • Epithelial density has been shown to be increased with age. (Ryan 1974) • Conflicting results have been reported regarding the shape of the retepegs. • A flattening of rete pegs and an increase in the height of the epithelial ridges associated with ageing were both demonstrated. 4/30/2018 10

  • 12. • In a morphological 3-dimensional study of the epithelium- connective tissue interface, connective tissue ridges were observed to be more prevalent in young individuals whereas connective tissue papillae were predominant in old individuals. • The change from ridges to papillae involves the formation of epithelial cross-ridges with advanced age.4 4/30/2018 12 4. Van der Velden U. Effect of age on the periodontium. J Clin Periodontol. 1984; 11: 281 -294.
  • 13. • The effect of aging on location of junctional epithelium has been the subject of much speculation. • The apical migration of the junctional epithelium, with consequent gingival recession. • Gingival recession progression may occur due to several factors, such as passive eruption caused by physiological wear of teeth, a consequence of anatomically thin tissues and tooth brushing trauma. 4/30/2018 13
  • 14. 4/30/2018 14 Carranza’s clinical periodontology 10th edition Chapter-6, Page No. 94.
  • 15. • Apparently, gingival recession is not an avoidable physiological process caused by aging, but a cumulative and progressive effect from periodontal disease or trauma over time.5 (Needleman 2004) 4/30/2018 15 5. Needleman I. Envelhecimento e o periodonto. In: Newman MG, Takei HH, Carranza FA. Periodontia clínica. 9.ed. Rio de Janeiro: Guanabara Koogan; 2004. p.51-5
  • 16. Changes within gingival connective tissue • Coarser and denser gingival connective tissue. • Qualitative and quantitative changes to collagen include; • increased rate of conversion of soluble to insoluble collagen. • increased mechanical strength. • increased denaturation temperature. • These results indicate increased collagen stabilization caused by the changes in the macromolecular conformation. • There is also a reduction in the organic matrix production and in vascularization, and an increase in the number of elastic fibers. 4/30/2018 16
  • 17. • Connective tissue - Number of cellular elements decreases as age increases. • The fibroblasts are the main cells in the synthesis of periodontal connective tissue. • In vivo and in vitro studies have shown functional and structural alterations in fibroblasts associated with ageing.6-8 • Reduction in the number of fibroblasts in the periodontal ligament and also in its functional activity. 4/30/2018 17 6.

  • 18. • Gingival fibroblasts (GF) are constantly affected by oral bacteria and their products, such as the lipopolysaccharides (LPS), present in their cell walls. • The LPS induces GF to release some inflammatory cytokines • The influence of these inflammatory mediators - both GF and periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PLF) - the severity of periodontal disease.6 4/30/2018 18
  • 19. Changes in Periodontal Ligament • Decreased number of fibroblasts. • Decreased organic matrix production. • Decreased epithelial cell rests. • Decreased number of collagen fibers. ↓ reduction or loss in tissue elasticity • Vascularity reduces with age. 4/30/2018 19
  • 20. • Cells of PDL have reduced mitotic activity. • Thickness of the periodontal ligament varies and may reduce due to the reduction in the force applied by masticatory muscles along the time in subjects with complete dentition or having dental elements with no antagonist.10 (Marsillac M, 2005) • On the other hand, when several elements are missing, there might be an overload on the existing remaining teeth, with consequent periodontal ligament thickening.11 (Zenobio EG, 2004) 4/30/2018 20 10.

  • 21. Changes within the cementum • Increase in cemental width is a common finding. • Berglundh T. - study on dogs - Increase may be 5 to 10 times with increasing age.12 • Van der Velden - Increase in width is greater apically and lingually.13 • Deposition takes place mainly in apical region to compensate for the physiological wear of teeth. 4/30/2018 21 12. Berglundh T. Clinical & structural characteristics of periodontal tissues in young & old dogs. J Clin Periodontol 18:616;1991. 13. Van der Velden u. Effect of age on periodontium. J Clin Periodontol 11:81;1984.
  • 22. 4/30/2018 22 • Saverson et al. (1958) – Greater cemental apposition in the apical region is a response to the passive eruption of the tooth. • According to Ive et al. (1980), passive eruption and migration of teeth involves re- attachment of fibers between the cementum and the periodontal ligament. Increased cemental deposition might be required to fulfil this. • With advancing age, areas of cementum resorption followed by new cemental apposition may be observed. • This may result in irregular surface of cementum.
  • 23. Changes in Alveolar bone • Reduction of bone mass. • More irregular periodontal surface of bone. • Less regular insertion of collagen fibers. • Increased bone resorption. 4/30/2018 23
  • 24. • The reduction in bone formation might be due to a decrease in osteoblast-proliferating precursors or to decreased synthesis and secretion of essential bone matrix proteins.6 • The extracellular matrix surrounding osteoblasts has been shown to play an important role in bone metabolism. • A possible dysfunction of this matrix might occur concomitantly with the ageing process.14 4/30/2018 24 6. Abiko Y, Shimizu N, Yamaguchi M, Suzuki H, Takiguchi H. Effect of ageing on functional changes of periodontal tissue cells. Ann Periodontol. 1998; 3: 350-369. 14. Roholl PJM, Blauw E, Zurcher C, Dormans J, Theuns HM. Evidence for a diminished maturation of pre-osteoblasts into osteoblast during ageing in rats: an ultrastructural analysis. J Bone Miner Res. 1994; 9: 355-366.
  • 25. • Oxygen-free radicals have been reported to cause cellular damage and, consequently, contribute to the ageing process.15,16 • In an in vitro study, oxygen radical-treated fibronectin (FN) was found to inhibit bone nodule formation by osteoblasts when compared to intact FN. • This finding suggested that intact FN plays an important role in osteoblast activity. • FN damaged by oxygen radicals during the ageing process might be related to less bone formation. 4/30/2018 25 15. Selkoe DJ. Deciphering Alzheimer’s disease: the amyloid precursor protein yields new clues. Science 1990; 248: 1058-1060. 16. McCord JM. Free radicals and inflammation:protection of synovial fluid by superoxide dismutase. Science 1974; 185: 529-531.
  • 26. • Although age is a risk factor for the reduction of the bone mass in osteoporosis, it is not causative and therefore distinguished from physiologic aging process. 4/30/2018 26
  • 27. Immune response • Age has been recognized as having much less effect in altering the host response. • Difference between younger and older individuals can be demonstrated for T and B cells, cytokines and natural killer cells, but not polymorphonuclear cells and macrophages activity. 4/30/2018 27
  • 28. • McArthur17 concluded that “measurement of indicators of immune & inflammatory competency suggested that, within the parametes tested, there was no evidence for age related changes in host defences correlating with periodontitis in an elderly group of individuals, with and without disease.” 4/30/2018 28 17. McArthur WP. Effect of aging on immunocompetent and inflammatory cells . Periodontol 2000, 1999 : 16- 53.
  • 29. Bacterial Plaque • Dentogingival plaque accumulation increases with increase in age. • With increase in hard tissue surface area resulting from gingival recession. • The surface characteristics of the exposed root surface as a substrate for plaque formation. • Exposed cementum of the root surface and dental enamel constitute two unlike types of hard dental tissues with distinct surface characteristics, which may influence the plaque formation rate differently. 4/30/2018 29
  • 30. • For sub gingival plaque, increased number of entric rods and pseudomonads in older adults. (Slots 1990) • Periodontal pathogens specifically including an increased role for P. gingivalis and decreased role for A. actinomycetemcomitans. 4/30/2018 30
  • 31. Association between periodontium and systemic diseases • Infectious diseases, such as periodontitis, cause inflammation and contribute to levels of overall infection and inflammation in the body and may trigger the beginning and/or the progression of other diseases such as diabetes and arteriosclerosis.18 • There are two mechanisms through which infection and inflammation apparently located in periodontal pockets may harm general health:19 4/30/2018 31 The passage of periodontal pathogens and their products into circulation (bacteremia). The passage of locally produced inflammatory mediators into circulation.
  • 32. Diabetes Mellitus 4/30/2018 32JADA 2006;137(10 supplement):26S-31S. Food Consumption Breakdown of carbohydrates in GIT and absorption of sugars in bloodstream Increased blood glucose levels Secretion of ꞵ- cells in the pancreas Insulin binds to target cell receptors and allows entry of glucose into the cell (used for cellular energy) Decreased blood glucose levels Type 1 Diabetes destroys ꞵ- cells Type 2 Diabetes causes insulin resistance at receptor and post receptor levels
  • 33. •It is suggested that the potential interactions between diabetes and periodontitis seem to enhance the morbidity of these two diseases.20 •The chronic hyperglycemic condition of diabetes is associated with damage, dysfunction, or failure of various organs and tissues, including the periodontium. •It is due to the increased risk for infections in patients with diabetes, impairment of the synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycans by gingival fibroblasts, and increased crevicular fluid collagenolytic activity, Altered wound healing.21 4/30/2018 33
  • 34. • It has been demonstrated by a meta-analysis study that patients with types 1 and 2 diabetes had worse oral hygiene and higher severity of gingival and periodontal diseases, compared to nondiabetic subjects.22 (Khader YS. Et al. 2006) • A multivariate risk analysis showed that subjects with type 2 diabetes had approximately threefold increased odds of having periodontitis compared with subjects without diabetes, after adjusting for confounding variables including age, sex and oral hygiene measures.23 (Shlossman M. 2010) 4/30/2018 34
  • 35. Coronary heart disease (CHD) • Periodontal and cardiovascular diseases are common inflammatory conditions in the human population, atherosclerosis being the major component of the latter. • Loesche et al. 2001 conducted a study on association between periodontal disease and coronary heart disease. • It was found that in patients with periodntal diseases there are 1.84 times more CHD. 4/30/2018 35
  • 36. ROLE OF SUBGINGIVAL PLAQUE 4/30/2018 36 Subgingival plaque flora Increased access to flora (compared to supra gingival plaque) Via ulcerated epithelial lining of the pocket Underlying connective tissue Antimicrobial potential in tissues Cellular debris Systemic circulation Alterations in serum components of clotting mechanisms Elevated levels of fibrinogen Risk of future coronary heart disease Destroyed
  • 37. • A meta-analysis study indicated that individuals with periodontitis had 1.14 times higher risk of developing coronary heart disease.24 (Bahekar AA 2007) • The more severe the periodontal disease the easier the periodontal pathogens could enter the circulation, reaching blood vessels and atherosclerotic lesions. 4/30/2018 37
  • 38. • Another linkage between periodontal disease and CHD is the level of C-reactive protein, which is an acute-phase reactant in response to infection or trauma and its high sustained level was associated with advanced periodontitis.25 (Linden GJ 2008) • Ridker et al. 2009 demonstrated that C-reactive protein levels predict the risk of coronary events.26 4/30/2018 38 25. Linden GJ, McClean K, Young I, Evans A, Kee F. Persistently raised Creactive protein levels are associated with advanced periodontal disease.J Clin Periodontol. 2008; 35: 741-7. 26. Ridker PM, Hennekens CH, Buring JE, Rifai N. C-reactive protein and other markers of inflammation in the prediction of cardiovascular disease in women. N Engl J Med. 2009; 342: 836-43.
  • 39. PERIODONTAL TREATMENT PLANNING IN OLDER INDIVIDUALS ‘Goal of periodontal treatment is to preserve function and prevent the progression of inflammatory disease’ - Factors must be considered in treatment planning Patients - General health status - Medications - Life style behaviors - Ability to perform oral hygiene procedures - Ability to tolerate treatment - Amount of remaining periodontal support 4/30/2018 39
  • 40. Operator side - Decrease the length of surgical time - Maintain open communication - Minimize trauma - Recalculate medication dosages - Schedule morning appointment - Non surgical approach – first treatment of choice. - Surgical approach – depends on nature and extent of disease. 4/30/2018 40
  • 41. Conclusion • Aging dental patients have particular oral and general health conditions that dentists should be familiar with detecting, consulting and treating. • Medical diseases and conditions that occur more often with age may require modification to periodontal preventive tools as well as the planning and treatment phases of periodontal care. 4/30/2018 41

Notas del editor

  1. Acanthosis- diffuse epidermal hyperplasis (thickening of skin).
  2. Sol. To insol collagen – decreases the rate of collagen synthesis – prevents elimination from the body.
  3. such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interleukin (IL)-1, and plasminogen activator (PA) 6, 14.
  4. Increased osteoporosis reduced vascularity Fewer fibres attached to bone and cementum Increase in distance between crest of alveolar bone and CEJ
  5. With increasing age, there is decrease in osteoblast proliferating precursors Along with this, there is decreased secretion of essential bone matrix protiens (most important and predominant type 1 collagen) This may lead to reduction in bone formation
  6. Fibronectin is a glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix It binds extracellular matrix components such as collagen, fibrin and heparan sulphate proteoglycans
  7. Differences in dietary habits, increased flow of gingival exudate from the inflamed gingiva and possible age-related changes in salivary gland secretions may similarly alter the conditions for growth and multiplication of the plaque microorganisms
  8. It has been speculated that a shift occours in the importance of certain periodontal pathogens with age
  9. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a blood test marker for inflammation in the body. CRP is produced in the liver and its level is measured by testing the blood. CRP is classified as an acute phase reactant, which means that its levels will rise in response to inflammation.
