This is a comprehensive PG-level answer structured for university exam preparation. Here is what is covered:
What's Included in This Answer
Main Theory: Inflammation
Part I - Acute Inflammation
- Definition and 3 major components (Robbins)
- Vascular reactions: vasodilation, increased permeability, stasis
- Exudate vs transudate (with distinguishing table)
- Leukocyte recruitment: margination, rolling (selectins), firm adhesion (integrins), transmigration (PECAM-1), chemotaxis
- Leukocyte activation: TLRs, NOD-like receptors
- Phagocytosis: 3 steps, opsonins, oxygen-dependent (NADPH oxidase/MPO) and oxygen-independent killing
- Chemical mediators: complete table (histamine, PGs, leukotrienes, cytokines, complement, kinins, NO, PAF)
- Arachidonic acid pathway (COX vs LOX)
- Morphologic patterns: serous, fibrinous, suppurative, ulcerative
- Outcomes: resolution, fibrosis, chronicity
- Systemic effects: fever, acute phase proteins, leukocytosis, septic shock
Part II - Chronic Inflammation
- Causes: persistent infection, autoimmune/hypersensitivity, toxic agents
- Morphology: mononuclear infiltrate, tissue destruction, fibrosis
- Cells: M1/M2 macrophages, T-cell subsets (Th1/Th2/Th17), eosinophils
- Systemic effects including amyloidosis and cancer risk
Part III - Granulomatous Inflammation
- Definition, two types (foreign body vs immune)
- Full morphology: epithelioid cells, Langhans vs foreign body giant cells, caseous necrosis
- Table of diseases with granulomatous inflammation
Write Note: Inflammation in Periodontology
- Microbiology (the red complex, key pathogens)
- Page and Schroeder's 4 histological stages (initial → early → established → advanced)
- Molecular mechanisms: IL-1β, TNF-α, PGE2, MMPs, RANKL/OPG axis, ROS, complement
- Systemic associations: diabetes, CVD, preterm birth, endocarditis
- Gingivitis vs Periodontitis comparison table
- Treatment implications from inflammatory pathogenesis
