caries
It is derived from salivary proteins and forms a protective diffusion barrier
pellicle
enhanced gustatory sensitivity
Hyperguesia
Obstruction of the salivary secretion by a calculus
Sialolithiasis
receptors which recognize Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
Toll-like receptors (TLRs)
the most prevalent and researched systemic disease that predisposes to periodontitis
Diabetes
A graph demonstrating the fall in pH in the mouth following a glucose rinse
Stephan curve
Taste receptor type for sensing of amino acids
umami
The most common form of viral sialadenitis
mumps
Type of lymphocytes which may attenuate inflammatory tissue damage
T regulators
Amount of microbial species that may be identified from the periodontal pockets of different individuals
600
List 4 risk factors of caries
ingestion of fermentable carbohydrates
poor oral hygiene
inadequate fluoride exposure
hyposalivation
The sensory nerve fibers innervating the taste receptors
VII, IX, and X cranial nerves
blockage or rupture of a salivary gland duct, with consequent leakage of saliva into the surrounding connective tissue
mucocele
Fmily of enzymes which include gelatinase and collagenase
matrix metalloproteinase
Who have periodontitis with a few signs because of vasoconstriction and enhanced gingival tissue keratinization
smokers
a sleep-related movement disorder which causes lot of damage to the teeth
bruxism
A mechanism of gustatory dysfunction when tastant cannot reach the receptor
transport dysfunction
Essential method for diagnosis of Sjögren syndrome
Biopsy of the lip to examine minor salivary glands
Ligand which expression in osteoblasts mediates destruction of bone
RANKL
Which of the following pathogens are associated with periodontitis
1. cocci vs rods
2. anaerobic vs aerobic
3. more motile vs less motile
rods anaerobic motile
It binds to the enamel and catalyzes the conversion of salivary bicarbonate and microbe-delivered hydrogen ions to carbon dioxide and water.
CA VI
a perception of taste that occurs in the absence of a tastant
phantogeusia
Risk of which tumor is 15 to 20 times higher among patients with Sjögren syndrome
B-cell lymphoma
A decoy receptor which decreased expression contributes to osteoclastic bone destruction in periodontal disease
osteoprotegerin
A genetic defect of neutrophil function which increases risk of periodontal disease
Chediak-Higashi syndrome, leukocyte adhesion deficiency and Papillon-Lefevre syndrome
