Describes conditions that show periodontal manifestations inherently and primary cause is the disease itself whereas bacterial plaque acts as a secondary factor.
3. Introduction:
ā¢ Periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease is a category that
is used when the systemic condition is the major predisposing factor
and bacterial infection is a secondary feature of systemic disease.
ā¢ Main etiological factor : decreased resistance associated with
systemic disease
ā¢ Clinical manifestations of this category of periodontal disease to
occur at an early age.
5. Classiļ¬cation of systemic diseases and conditions that aļ¬ect the periodontal supporting tissues
(adapted from Albandar et al.)
6.
7.
8. Hematological disorders:
ā¢ All blood cells play a role in the maintenance of a healthy periodontium
ā¢ White blood cells (WBCs) are involved in peripheral and inflammatory reactions
ā¢ Red blood cells (RBCs) are responsible for gas exchange and nutrient supply to the periodontal
tissues and platelets and are required for normal hemostasis
ā¢ Disorders of the blood or blood-forming organs can have a profound effect on the periodontium
ā¢ Certain oral changes such as hemorrhage may suggest the existence of a blood disturbance;
specific diagnosis, however, requires a complete physical examination and a thorough hematologic
study
9. Leukemia:
The leukemias are malignant neoplasias of WBC precursors characterized by
(1) diffuse replacement of the bone marrow with proliferating leukemic cells,
(2) abnormal numbers and forms of immature WBCs in the circulating blood,
and
(3) widespread infiltrates in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and other body
sites.
10. ā¢ According to their evolution,
leukemias can be acute, which is
rapidly fatal; subacute; or chronic.
ā¢ All leukemias tend to displace
normal components of the bone
marrow elements with leukemic
cells, resulting in reduced
production of RBCs, WBCs, and
platelets and leading to anemia,
leukopenia (reduction in number of
nonmalignant WBSs) and
thrombocytopenia.
ā¢ Some patients may have normal
blood counts while leukemic cells
reside primarily in the bone
marrow; this type of disease is
called aleukemic leukemia
11. Oral and periodontal
manifestations
ā¢ Oral and periodontal
manifestations of leukemia
consist of leukemic infiltration,
bleeding, oral ulcerations, and
infections. The expression of
these signs is more common in
acute and subacute forms of
leukemia than in chronic forms.
ā¢ Leukemic cells can infiltrate the
gingiva and less frequently the
alveolar bone. Gingival
infiltration often results in
leukemic gingival enlargement
Barret, A.P., 1984. Gingival Lesions in Leukemia. J Periodontol, 55,
pp.585-588.
12. Gingiva:
ā¢ Leukemic gingival enlargement is not found in edentulous patients or in
patients with chronic leukemia.
ā¢ Leukemic gingival enlargement consists of a basic infiltration of the gingival
corium by leukemic cells that increases the gingival thickness and creates
gingival pockets where bacterial plaque accumulates, initiating a secondary
inflammatory lesion that contributes to the enlargement of the gingiva.
ā¢ A gingival (bacterial) infection in leukemic patients can be the result of an
exogenous bacterial infection or an existing bacterial infection (e.g.,
gingival or periodontal disease).
ā¢ Acute gingivitis and lesions resembling necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis are
more frequent and severe in terminal cases of acute leukemia.
Gingiva appears initially bluish red and cyanotic
Rounding and tenseness of the gingival margin
It increases in size, most often in the interdental papilla
and partially covering the crowns of the teeth
13.
14. Microscopic picture:
ā¢ Microscopically, the gingiva exhibits a dense,
diffuse infiltration of predominantly immature
leukocytes in the attached and marginal
gingiva.
ā¢ The blood vessels are distended and contain
predominantly leukemic cells, and the RBCs
are reduced in number.
ā¢ The epithelium presents a variety of changes
and may be thinned or hyperplastic. Common
findings include degeneration associated with
intercellular and intracellular
15. ā¢ The periodontal ligament and alveolar bone may also
be involved in acute and subacute leukemia.
ā¢ The periodontal ligament may be infiltrated with
mature and immature leukocytes. The marrow of the
alveolar bone exhibits a variety of changes, such as
localized areas of necrosis, thrombosis of the blood
vessels, infiltration with mature and immature
leukocytes, occasional RBCs, and replacement of the
fatty marrow by fibrous tissue.
ā¢ Oral bleeding has been reported as a presenting sign
in 17.7% of patients with acute leukemia and in 4.4%
of patients with chronic leukemia. Bleeding may also
be a side effect of the chemotherapeutic agents used
to treat leukemia.
16. ā¢ In leukemia the response to bacterial plaque or
other local irritation is altered; the cellular
component of the inflammatory exudate differs
both quantitatively and qualitatively from that in
nonleukemic individuals.
ā¢ Granulocytopenia
ā¢ Discrete, punched-out ulcers penetrating deeply
into the submucosa and covered by a firmly
attached white slough can be found on the oral
mucosa.
17. ā¢ A study of 1076 adult patients with leukemia showed that 3.6% of the patients
with teeth had leukemic gingival proliferative lesions, with the highest incidence
in patients with acute monocytic leukemia (66.7%), followed by acute myelocytic-
monocytic leukemia (18.7%) and acute myelocytic leukemia (3.7%). It should be
noted, however, that monocytic leukemia is an extremely rare form of the
disease.
18.
19. Acquired
neutropenia:
ā¢ An individual with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of
less than 1500 cells/Ī¼l is considered to be neutropenic.
o Neutropenia has numerous causes; it can be genetic or
drug induced or may result from a viral infection.
ā¢ There are three general guidelines used to classify the
severity of neutropenia based on the Absolute Neutrophil
Count (ANC) measured in cells per micro liter of blood:
ā¢ Mild neutropenia (1000 <= ANC < 1500) ā minimal risk
of infection
ā¢ Moderate neutropenia (500 <= ANC < 1000) ā moderate
risk of infection
ā¢ Severe neutropenia (ANC < 500) ā severe risk of
infection
22. CHRONIC
BENIGN
NEUTROPENIA
It was first reported by Glansslen in 1941.
ā¢ prolonged noncyclic neutropenia as the
sole abnormality, with no underlying
disease.
ā¢ common form in infants and children less
than 4 years old, with 90% of the cases
presenting before 14 months of age.
Clinical manifestation:
ā¢ Individuals with this condition often have
increased incidences of otitis media, oral
ulcerations, furuncles, upper respiratory
infections, cellulitis, lymphadenopathy,
pneumonia, and sepsis as a result of
limited neutrophil response to infection
23. ORAL
MANIFESTATIONS ā
Hyperplastic, fiery red
gingiva with areas of
desquamation confined to
attached gingiva.
Bleeding on mild
provocation, pocket
formation, premature loss of
deciduous teeth, bone loss,
increased mobility
Treatment included oral
hygiene instruction, scaling
and root planing, and an
antimicrobial mouthrinse
once a day. Three-month
recall/maintenance visits
were recommended.
24. Cyclic neutropenia:
ā¢ Cyclic neutropenia is a rare genetic disorder
characterized by a cyclical decrease in the number
of circulating neutrophils.
ā¢ The decrease in the number of circulating
neutrophils tends to occur every 3 weeks and lasts
for 3ā6 days at a time.
ā¢ The decrease in the number of circulating
neutrophils is caused by changes in the rates of cell
production in the bone marrow.
ā¢ In humans, neutrophil elastase is encoded by the
ELA2 gene, and mutations in this gene may impede
neutrophil maturation.
ā¢ Autosomal-dominant inheritance.
25. The neutropenic phase is characteristically associated with clinical symptoms such as
recurrent fever, malaise, headaches, anorexia, pharyngitis, ulcers of the oral mucous
membrane and gingival inļ¬ammation
Several reports in the literature indicate that affected individuals tend to have
periodontal problems. The importance of regular oral hygiene, removal of subgingival
plaque and calculus and periodic professional tooth cleaning are indicated to control
the progression of periodontal disease in affected individuals
Combination treatment using granulocyte colony stimulating factor and nonsurgical
periodontal therapy may lead to an improvement of the periodontal condition of the
affected patients , Local antibiotic application in periodontal pockets was
recommended
26. Infantile genetic
agranulocytosis
or Kostmannās
syndrome:
ā¢ Infantile genetic agranulocytosis is a rare autosomal
recessive disease caused by a defect in the
granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor.
ā¢ Children born with defects in granulocyte colony-
stimulating factor receptor cannot make neutrophils
and are therefore susceptible to infections, including
periodontal diseases.
ā¢ Only few studies described the oral and periodontal
status of subjects affected with infantile genetic
agranulocytosis, and some of the reported ļ¬ndings
include a generalized gingival inļ¬ammation
characterized by red spongy gingiva, increased
probing depth, gingival bleeding on probing and
severe alveolar bone loss.
ā¢ It has been suggested that a therapeutic regimen
consisting of scaling and root planing, soft-tissue
curettage and the use of selected antimicrobial
agents could be successful in the resolution of
periodontal infection in subjects inļ¬icted with this
syndrome
27.
28. ChediakāHigashi
syndrome
ā¢ ChediakāHigashi syndrome is a rare autosomal
recessive genetic disorder of granule
morphology and function affecting multiple
organ systems.
ā¢ Mutation in LYST gene(lysosomal trafficking
regulation) may be responsible.
ā¢ The pathological hallmark of Chediakā Higashi
syndrome is the presence, in all white blood
cells and in certain other cell types, of massive
lysosomal inclusions in the cytoplasm of the
cells
29. Manifestations:
ā¢ Subjects with ChediakāHigashi syndrome have
immune-system abnormalities, recurrent infections,
bleeding abnormalities and muscle weakness.
ā¢ Progressive damage to the peripheral nervous
system, partial albinism and sensitivity to light are
associated with the disease. Slight cognitive
impairment.
ā¢ The disease is lethal, and life expectancy is usually
short, with the majority of patients dying in
childhood. Fatality is associated with infections and
lymphoproliferative disorders in multiple organs.
ā¢ Treatment with bone marrow transplantation may
be helpful in correcting neutrophil dysfunction in
some patients
30. ā¢ ChediakāHigashi syndrome is associated with signiļ¬cant
periodontal symptoms, including profound gingival
inļ¬ammation, deep probing depth generalized to most of the
dentition and severe alveolar bone loss.
Ahmed Khocht et al Periodontitis Associated with Chediak-Higashi Syndrome in a Young African American
Male Journal of the International Academy of Periodontology 2010 12/2: 49ā55
31. ā¢ Tempel et al. (1972) described two young Caucasian female patients with
severe gingival inflammation, tooth mobility and increased probing depth.
Histopathology of the gingival tissues showed heavy infiltration of chronic
inflammatory cells.
ā¢ Hamilton and Giansanti (1974) reported a case of CHS in a 10-year-old
African American boy. They described excessive early periodontal
breakdown, gingival swelling and tooth migration.
ā¢ Shibutani et al. (2000) reported a longitudinal follow-up of a case of a
young Asian female patient with severe gingival swelling and mobility. Their
attempts to control the periodontal problems were unsuccessful.
32. Leucocyte
adhesion
deficiency
ā¢ Leukocyte adhesion deļ¬ciency syndrome is a
rare immunodeļ¬ciency disorder inherited in an
autosomal-recessive trait and characterized by
defects in adhesion receptors of the white
blood cells.
ā¢ LAD type-I, the integrin is defective,
LAD type II, defects of the selectin system.
Clinical maifestations:
ā¢ skin infections, pneumonia and severe
periodontitis associated with very high
neutrophil blood counts (20ā80 9 109 cells/l)
(neutrophilia).
33. Manifestations:
ā¢ Extremely acute inflammation and
proliferation of the gingival tissues with rapid
destruction of bone are found.
ā¢ Profound defects in peripheral blood
neutrophils and monocytes and an absence of
neutrophils.
ā¢ Frequent respiratory tract infections and
sometimes otitis media.
ā¢ Both primary and permanent teeth are
affected, often resulting in early tooth loss.
34. Clinical and radiographic appearance of patients with leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD
type 1). This disorder involves defects in neutrophil transendothelial migration, resulting
in a lack of extravascular neutrophils in periodontal lesions. However, dense infiltrates of
mononuclear leukocytes are found in the periodontal lesions
35. Lazy leucocyte
syndrome:
ā¢ Lazy leukocyte syndrome is a very rare
disorder that manifests in both
quantitative and qualitative neutrophil
defects. It is characterised by susceptibility
to severe microbial infections, and an
abnormal inflammatory response.
Etiopathology:
ā¢ The abnormal function of these
microfilaments leads to a defect in cell
deformability
ā¢ There is a severe neutropenia , defective
chemotaxis and random migration because
of defective microtubule integrity.
36. Manifestations:
ā¢ Painful stomatitis, gingivitis and recurrent ulcerations of the buccal
mucosa and tongue.
ā¢ Periodontitis progressing to the point of advanced alveolar bone loss
and tooth loss has been reported.
ā¢ Individuals diagnosed with lazy leukocyte syndrome are susceptible to
aggressive periodontitis .
37. PapillonāLefĆØvre
syndrome
ā¢ PapillonāLefevre syndrome is a rare genetic
disorder characterized by hyperkeratosis of the
palms, the soles of the feet, the elbows, the knees
and other organs, and, in addition, shows a rapidly
progressive, severe periodontitis that leads to early
loss of the primary and permanent teeth.
ā¢ The disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive
trait.
ā¢ A loss-of-function mutation affecting the cathepsin-
C gene (CTSC) on chromosome 11q14.1-q14.3 has
been associated with the disease.
ā¢ prevalence of the syndrome in the general
population is 1ā3 per million, with no sex or race
preference.
38. Manifestations:
ā¢ The periodontal manifestations include gingival
inļ¬ammation, increased probing depth and
advanced radiographic alveolar bone loss.
ā¢ Typically, the affected individuals lose their teeth
early in life and eventually become edentulous with
signiļ¬cant ridge resorption. Immunohistological
examination of the gingival tissues shows a massive
inļ¬ammatory inļ¬ltrate dominated by plasma cell.
ā¢ Lundgren et al. reported impaired salivary
secretions and somewhat altered salivary gland
function in children and young adults affected with
PapillonāLefe `vre syndrome.
39. Pathogenesis
in
periodontitis:
Impaired neutrophil
functions, including
chemotaxis, phagocytosis
and bacterial killing, were
reported by some authors.
Severely depressed natural
killer cell cytotoxicity has
also been reported in
affected individuals.
Increased levels of
interleukin-1beta
Matrix metalloproteinase-
8 in gingival crevicular
ļ¬uid and atypical activity
of the plasminogen
activating system with a
disturbed epithelial
function in the gingival
tissues of affected
individuals.
It has been suggested that
the periodontal
destruction seen in
individuals with Papillonā
Lefe `vre syndrome might
be attributed to a defect in
the epithelial barrier
defense system.
40. Microbial
profile:
Subgingival microbial proļ¬le in individuals with papillonālefe `vre
syndrome closely resembled a proļ¬le characteristic of deep pockets in
patients with chronic periodontitis.
Albandar et al. conducted a comprehensive analysis of the subgingival
microbiota in subjects with PapillonāLefe `vre syndrome using 16S
ribosomal RNA clonal analysis and the 16S ribosomal RNA-based
Human Oral Microbe Identiļ¬cation Microarray and concluded that the
subgingival microbiota in these patients is diverse and comprises
periodontal pathogens commonly associated with chronic and
aggressive periodontitis as well as opportunistic pathogens, the most
prevalent of which included Gemella morbillorum, G. haemolysans,
Granulicatella adiacens, Lachnospiracease, Parvimonas micra,
Selenomonas noxia and Veillonella parvula.
Velazco et al. reported the presence of cytomegalovirus and EpsteināBarr
virus type 1 in the subgingival sample of a patient
41. Treatment:
ā¢ A combined approach including meticulous
plaque control, administration of
chlorhexidine in combination with a systemic
antibiotic therapy for the eradication of
known periodontal pathogens in conjunction
with retinoids seems to be most promising
42. Haim-Munk
syndrome
ā¢ Haim-Munk syndrome is an extremely rare
autosomal recessive disorder characterized clinically
by
1. Arachnodactyly (long, thin, and pointed fingers)
2. Acroosteolysis (bone loss in the fingers or toes)
3. Onychogryphosis (overgrowth of the fingernails
and toe nails and a claw-like deformity)
4. pes planus (flat foot); and
5. psoriasis-like lesions.
ā¢ Classified as type IV palmoplantar keratoderma
ā¢ Also called as āCochin Jewish disorder.ā

manifestations in a patient with haim-munk
syndrome. Eur J Dent. 2010 Jul;4(3):338-40.

mutation in exon 7, homozygous single nucleotide polymorphisms in intron 2 and 5 of cathepsin C are associated with Haim-Munk syndrome. Eur J
Dent 2014;8:79-84.
45. Treatment approach:
ā¢ A multidisciplinary approach is important for the care of patients with
HMS and PLS.
ā¢ The skin manifestations are treated with topical emollients and
keratolytics including salicylic acid and urea.
ā¢ Oral retinoids including acitretin, etretinate, and isotretinoin are the
mainstay of treatment for both keratoderma and aggressive
periodontitis.
ā¢ The periodontal disease in both HMS and PLS usually responds poorly
to treatment. Effective therapy includes the extraction of the primary
teeth combined with oral antibiotics and professional teeth cleaning.
46.
47. Histiocytosis syndromes
ā¢ Disorder of the reticuloendothelial system
which is characterized by an abnormal
proliferation of histiocytes and eosinophilic
leukocytes.
48. Oral manifestation
Sore mouth, ulcerative lesions, halitosis.
The gingival tissues are often inflamed, hyperplastic, and ulcerated.
Loosening of teeth in the area of the affected alveolar bone - precocious exfoliation of teeth
49.
50. Downās
syndrome:
ā¢ Downās syndrome is an autosomal
chromosomal anomaly resulting from
trisomy of the chromosome 21
ā¢ The most common manifestations of the
syndrome include a characteristic physical
appearance and varied mental and physical
disorders, including congenital heart
disease, thyroid dysfunction, Alzheimer
disease and alteration of the immune
system, including granulocyte ā monocyte
cell dysfunction.
ā¢ Infections, and respiratory infections in
particular, are an important cause of
mortality in Down syndrome
51. Periodontal manifestations:
ā¢ Periodontal disease is a common manifestation among
subjects with Down syndrome, with an estimated
prevalence of 58ā96% in patients under 35 years of age,
and periodontitis is more severe in these subjects than in
persons who do not have Down syndrome.
ā¢ The disease starts early in life, progresses with age and
eventually leads to tooth loss
ā¢ A high prevalence of chronic inļ¬ammatory periodontal
disease in children with Downās syndrome has previously
been described by Cohen et al. and Johnson & Young, but it
was ļ¬rst recognized by Brousseau
52. Pathogenesis:
ā¢ Mental disability associated with down
syndrome is an important factor in the reduced
ability of patients to maintain adequate oral
hygiene and leads to an increased susceptibility
to periodontitis .
ā¢ Khocht et al. recently used a multivariate model
that included assessment of mental disability
and traditional risk factors of periodontitis, and
showed that loss of periodontal attachment in
individuals with Down syndrome was not
associated with mental disability.
53. Pathogenesis:
Periodontitis is
initiated by
bacterial infection,
and the impaired
immune response
to infections in
individuals with
Down syndrome
may be the
primary
contributing factor
to the increased
susceptibility of
these individuals
to periodontal
destruction.
1
compromised host
response makes it
easier for virulent
periodontopathic
microbial species
to colonize the
subgingival sites,
and consequently
if these bacteria
remain
unchallenged an
intense
inļ¬ammatory
reaction could be
induced within the
periodontal
tissues.
2
The increased
periodontal
inļ¬ammation
would lead to
elevated
production of
degrading
enzymes and
alter bone
remodeling.

loss and
destruction of
the
periodontium
4 tooth loss
54. Microbial profile:
ā¢ Barr-Agholme et al. reported increased frequency of detecting Aggregatibacter
actinomycetemcomitans, Capnocytophaga and Porphyromonas gingivalis in the
subgingival plaque of adolescents
ā¢ Amano et al. detected various periodontal disease-causing bacteria in very young
subjects with Down syndrome concluded that certain periodontal pathogens,
particularly P. gingivalis, play a key role in the initiation of gingival inļ¬ammation.
ā¢ Reuland-Bosma et al. compared the subgingival microļ¬ora in adult subjects with
Down syndrome with that in other individuals with intellectual disabilities.
Despite advanced periodontitis in subjects with Down syndrome, no differences
in the prevalence of distinct suspected periodontopathic bacteria were
established, and the authors conclude that host factors are the most likely
explanation for the advanced periodontal disease associated with subjects with
Down syndrome.
Conclusion: Despite the lack of differences in microbial proļ¬les, adults with Down syndrome still show
greater loss of periodontal attachment than do adults who do not have Down syndrome. This suggests that
the host response to the same bacteria is different between individuals with Down syndrome and those who
do not have Down syndrome.
55. Immune response
Neutrophil function: studies suggest that deļ¬cient neutrophil chemotaxis is a common
ļ¬nding in subjects with Down syndrome and that this defect may be secondary to
increased oxidative stress associated with trisomy of chromosome 21. The oxidative
stress may impair internal cell functions and disrupt chemotaxis. It has been shown that
reduced chemotaxis is positively correlated with the severity of periodontitis.
Gingival cellular immune response: higher number of cellular inļ¬ltrate, increased
numbers of CD22+ cells (B lymphocytes), CD3+ cells, CD4+ cells, CD8+ cells and CD11+
cells (macrophages), and a signiļ¬cantly higher CD4+ ā CD8+ cell ratio. the low presence of
gamma ā delta T lymphocytes may increase the vulnerability of subjects with Down
syndrome to microbial noxious agents.
56. Antibody ā immunoglobulin
production
ā¢ studies show inconsistent antibody responses in saliva and serum in
individuals with Down syndrome.
ā¢ While the salivary antibody response was low, the serum antibody
response to several periodontopathic bacteria was elevated.
ā¢ The low salivary antibody response to bacteria is associated with
decreased salivary ļ¬ow in individuals with Down syndrome, and this
may facilitate the colonization of periodontal pathogens.
ā¢ The elevated serum antibody titers corroborate the increased
gingival immune cellular activity described previously in subjects
with Down syndrome
ā¢ Increased antibody levels in gingival tissues may also accentuate the
gingival inļ¬ammatory response through complement activation and
thus contribute to tissue loss.
57. Inļ¬ammatory response
ā¢ Studies indicate increased matrix metalloproteinase activity in the gingival tissues
of individuals with Down syndrome.
ā¢ Matrix metalloproteinases are involved in the breakdown of the extracellular
matrix, and their increased activity in the gingival tissues of individuals with
Down syndrome explains the gingival tissue loss and associated clinical
parameters, such as increased probing depth and loss of attachment.
ā¢ In addition, the increased level of prostaglandin E2, in combination with the
increased activity of matrix metalloproteinase-9, suggests a higher level of
osteoclastic activity and explains the increased alveolar bone loss seen in
individuals with Down syndrome.
58. Cohenās
syndrome:
ā¢ Cohen syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with an
autosomal-recessive mode of transmission.
ā¢ The etiology of this disease is mutations in the
VPS13B gene (frequently called the COH1 gene).
ā¢ Almost all affected individuals have abnormally
low counts of white blood cells
(granulocytopenia), and the neutrophil is the cell
type particularly affected (neutropenia).
ā¢ The disease is characterized by intellectual
disability, developmental delay and a unique
physical appearance including narrow hands and
feet with long, slender ļ¬ngers.
ā¢ Most affected individuals have truncal obesity
(deposition of fat around the midsection of the
body) and prominent upper central incisors.
ā¢ Because of the low white-blood-cell counts,
affected individuals are susceptible to infections,
including periodontitis

With Chronic Neutropenia. Journal of
Periodontology
60. Hyperimmunoglobulin E disease:
ā¢ Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome is a multisystem disorder inherited
as an autosomal dominant trait that affects the dentition, the
skeleton, connective tissues, and immune system.
ā¢ Classically, it has been characterized by a triad of symptoms including
skin abscesses, pneumonia, and elevated serum immunoglobulin E
levels(IgE; usually >2,000 IU /ml).
ā¢ Eosinophilia, candidiasis, arthritis, chronic eczematoid dermatitis and
other recurrent infections are also common.
ā¢ Recurrent infection is one of the chief features of
hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome.
61. Pathogenesis:
HIES patients may experience an aggravated course of
periodontitis because of defective polymorphonuclear
leukocytes, deficient antibody responses, and changes in
the T-helper (Th)1/Th2 balance towards a Th2 response.
The Th2 predominance may accelerate periodontal
breakdown through an overproduction of IgE.
The elevated IgE level, resulting from the Th2
predominance and reduced interferon-Ī³ level, may cause a
release of bone-resorbing prostaglandin-E2, IL-1Ī², and
tumor necrosis factor-Ī± from monocytic cells.
Altogether, rapid periodontal tissue destruction in HIES
patients could be due to the combined effect of highly
virulent periodontopathic bacteria, deficient
polymorphonuclear leukocytes responses, increases in
potent bone-resorbing cytokines, and decreases in bone
resorption inhibitory cytokines.
62. Oral manifestations:
ā¢ Oral ulcerations and periodontitis
ā¢ Surprisingly retention of primary dentition has been
reported which is different from other genetic
disorders.
ā¢ Management strategies continue to be: (1) prophylactic
antibiotics; (2) timely treatment of infections; and (3)
surgical intervention as necessary.
63. Agammaglobulinemia:
ā¢ Agammaglobulinemia, or hypogammaglobulinemia, is an immune
deficiency resulting from inadequate antibody production caused by a
deficiency in B cells. It can be congenital (X-linked or Bruton's
agammaglobulinemia) or acquired (common variable immunodeficiency).
ā¢ Congenital agammaglobulinemia is caused by an X-linked, recessive gene
(Bruton's tyrosine kinase). It affects approximately 1:100,000 population.
ā¢ The disease (congenital or acquired) is characterized by recurrent bacterial
infections, especially ear, sinus, and lung infections. Patients are also
susceptible to periodontal infections. Aggressive periodontitis is a common
finding in children diagnosed with agammaglobulinimia
64. Glycogen
storage
disease:
ā¢ Glycogen storage diseases are rare metabolic
disorders involving glycogen synthesis or
storage, and these diseases cause the body to
either not be able to make enough glucose, or
not be able to use glucose as a form of energy.
ā¢ There are 11 known types of glycogen storage
diseases. Type 1 glycogen storage disease
accounts for about 25% of all cases diagnosed
in the USA and Europe and has an estimated
incidence of about 1 ā 100,000 live births.
ā¢ There are two different subtypes of type 1
glycogen storage disease: type 1a and type 1b.
ā¢ Glycogen storage disease type 1b is an
autosomal-recessive disease caused by a
deļ¬ciency of microsomal glucose-6-phosphate
translocase.
65. glucose-6-phosphate
translocase deļ¬ciency
may result in a redox shift
toward oxidizing
conditions in the
endoplasmic reticulum
lumen of neutrophils in
glycogen storage disease
type 1b.
Overexpression of
proapoptotic proteins may
accelerate the apoptosis of
neutrophils in patients with
glycogen storage disease
type 1b. The underlying
cause of neutrophil
dysfunction in glycogen
storage disease type 1b is
endoplasmic reticulum
stress generated by
disruption of endogenous
glucose production.
Patients with glycogen
storage disease type 1b
have neutropenia
accompanied by
progressive defects of
neutrophil functions,
such as chemotaxis and
respiratory burst.
The gene that codes for
glucose-6-phosphate
translocase is called
SLC37A4 and is located on
chromosome 11q23.3. In
glycogen storage disease
type 1b the SLC37A4 gene
is mutated and this results
in a deļ¬ciency in glucose-
6phosphate translocase.
66. Clinical features:
ā¢ dolllikeāā facial appearance,
ā¢ stunted growth, hypoglycemia,
ā¢ ketosis, lactic acidosis, hyperlipidemia, gout,
bleeding episodes brought on by impaired platelet function secondary to metabolic
disorders .
ā¢ neutropenia, neutrophil dysfunction,
ā¢ The two most frequent symptoms of the disease include enlarged liver and
hypoglycemia.
ā¢ Patients with glycogen storage disease type 1b are susceptible to a variety of infections,
including periodontal infections. Patients showing aggressive forms of periodontal
breakdown have been reported in the dental literature
67.
68. Hypophosphatasia:
ā¢ Hypophosphatasia (Rathbun-syndrome) is
a congenital disease with an autosomal-
mode of transmission and characterized by
deļ¬ciency of serum alkaline phosphatase,
increased urinary excretion of
phosphoethanolamine and defective bone
and tooth mineralization, resulting in
cementum hypoplasia or aplasia and
premature exfoliation of the primary
teeth.
ā¢ Deficiency of serum alakaline phosphatase
leads to leads to the accumulation of
extracellular pyrophosphate, and this
causes inhibition of skeletal and dental
mineralization.
70. Clinical signs:
ā¢ In the severe form the bone does not mineralize, resulting in stillbirth. Early loss
of teeth is common to most forms of hypophosphatasia.
ā¢ Of the childhood form early exfoliation of the primary teeth, skeletal deformities,
short stature, waddling gait, bone pain and fractures.
ā¢ The adult form is usually recognized in middle age and presents as foot pain,
stress fracture of the metatarsals and dental abnormalities. Chondrocalcinosis
and osteoarthropathy may develop with age.
ā¢ In the mild form of the disease, loss of teeth and ā or severe dental caries are the
only manifestations, with no systemic symptoms. This latter form was termed
odontohypohypophosphatasia and it shows only mildly reduced serum alkaline
phosphatase levels, whereas in the more severe forms there is pronounced
reduction or complete lack of tissue-nonspeciļ¬c alkaline phosphatase.
ā¢ Osteomalacia distinguishes adult hypophosphatasia from
odontohypophosphatasia.
71. Periodontal
manifestations:
ā¢ Patients with hypophosphatasia do not show
increased gingival inļ¬ammation or periodontitis and
their immune response to infections is not
defective.
ā¢ However, they have various dental deformities,
including thin dentin, hypocalciļ¬ed enamel, large-
diameter dentinal tubules, and enlarged pulp
chamber and root canals.
ā¢ Furthermore, the dental cementum is absent,
hypocalciļ¬ed or dysplastic. For this reason the roots
of the teeth in these patients are not adequately
anchored to the alveolar bone via the periodontal
ligament and the teeth are lost prematurely.

81. Conclusion:
ā¢ Selected group of systemic disorders involving the mineralization of
bone and dental tissues or affecting neutrophil counts or function
can impact on the periodontium.
ā¢ Aggressive forms of periodontitis almost always accompany these
systemic diseases.
ā¢ When dealing with or suspecting these disorders, it is
recommended to establish a differential diagnosis and attempt to
identify the underlying causal factors.
ā¢ Proper diagnosis is a prerequisite for proper management of the
periodontal problem.
ā¢ To establish a diagnosis it is important to review the medical history,
family history, laboratory ļ¬ndings of neutrophil counts and
functions, and total serum alkaline phosphatase activity, and to
consult with other medical specialists.
ā¢ In certain cases molecular genetic testing may be indicated and may
help validate a clinical diagnosis.
82. ā¢ In most of these diseases controlling the
progression of periodontal disease is very
challenging.
ā¢ Controlling the supragingival dental plaque and
combining antimicrobial therapy with
conventional periodontal therapy may help in
some situations.
ā¢ Future advances in research, including gene
targeting and the resolution of enzyme
deļ¬ciencies, may bring about remedies of the
underlying genetic defects, and such treatments
may signiļ¬cantly improve the outcome of
periodontal treatment in these patients.

Editor's Notes
Rare conditions that may have major eļ¬ects on the course of periodontitis
Common conditions with variable eļ¬ects on the course of periodontitis: dm ans smoking.
Conditions aļ¬ecting the periodontal apparatus independently of dental plaque bioļ¬lm-induced inļ¬ammation:
Anemia results in poor tissue oxygenation, making tissues more friable and susceptible to breakdown. A reduction of normal WBCs in the circulation leads to an increased susceptibility to infections. Thrombocytopenia leads to bleeding tendency, which can occur in any tissue but in particular affects the oral cavity, especially the gingival sulcus (Figure 17-9).
The inflamed gingiva in patients with leukemia differs clinically from that in nonleukemic individuals. Gingiva is a peculiar bluish red, is spongelike and friable, and bleeds persistently on the slightest provocation or even spontaneously in leukemic patients.
cessation of the drug is followed by myeloid recovery within 10 days.
cimetidine, ranitidine, tripelennamine (Pyribenzamine), methaphenilene, thenalidine, brompheniramine, and mianserin.
Neutrophil elastase is the target for protease inhibition by alpha 1 trypsin and its unopposed release damages tissues at the site of inflamation
described a severe case of ChediakāHigashi syndrome and recommended the extraction of periodontally compromised teeth and the fabrication of dentures to avoid signiļ¬cant oral infections
LAD type I is characterized by a defective Ī²2 subunit (CD18) of the integrin on the surface of PMNs and monocytes.
Cathepsin-C is expressed by epithelial cells and immune cells, such as leukocytes and macrophages. Cathepsin-C functions as a key enzyme in the activation of granule serine proteases (e.g. elastase), the activation of granzymes and the regulation of epithelial morphogenesis.
Mmp 8 neutrophil collagenase collagen cleaving
A 15-year-old Turkish male from a consanguineous family was evaluated for aggressive periodontitis, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, and multiple psoriasiform plaques on face, extremities, and trunk. The patient started developing thickening and scaling of the skin of the palms and soles at the age of 2ā3, and shedding of primary dentition as a result of periodontitis at the age of 4 years. Secondary dentition was also affected by periodontal disease, with subsequent premature shedding of permanent teeth. The palmoplantar hyperkeratosis progressively worsened.
A 23āyearāold subject who reported to the institute
for evaluation of oral condition was provisionally
diagnosed with HMS associated with AgP.
The periodontal features of histiocytosis are punched-out necrotic ulcers with considerable granulation tissue, tissue necrosis, and marked bone loss. These lesions may clinically resemble necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis lesions and biopsy of the associated granulation tissue assists the diagnosis of this condition.
The presence of matrix metalloproteinase-8 suggests that neutrophils, in their frustration to reach their target pathogens, release their enzymes extracellularly.
Degradation of extra cellular matrix
Glycogen is an energy storage molecule.
It may appear in a lethal neonatal or perinatal form (congenital lethal hypophosphatasia), a severe infantile form, or a milder form occurring in childhood or late adolescence (hypophosphatasia tarda).
