What contributes to stippled texture of the gingiva? Rete Pegs
Free gingival groove: Is this always present? NO, but does lie evenly with the sulcus
Concerning the basal cell layer, do you know where it is located? Located adjacent to the basement membrane, undergoes mitosis, reproduces and migrates through the upper layers of the epithelium
Col area: Two opposite interdental papilla B and L meet together
Rete Pegs: Which statements are correct? Comes from the epithelium into the connective tissue CH. 2 pg. 17, 23 Book states that is comes from the connective tissue into the epithelium

What type of epithelium is found in the oral cavity? Stratified squamous
What makes up the gingiva, what type of tissues? Connective and epithelial
CT fibers, what do the circular fibers do? Where are they Circle the tooth
Transeptal Fibers Tooth to tooth, cementum from one to the other
What cell is responsible for collagen production? Fibroblasts
What is the connective tissue primarily composed of? Collagen fibers and fibroblasts
What are the ends of the periodontal fibers called that are embedded into the cementum and bone? Sharpey’s Fibers
Propriocepters, what are these? Transmit the perception of pressure to the brain, found in the PDL
What are the tissues that we call the attachment apparatus attached to? Cementum
Most common type of junction between the enamel and cementum is the most common? Cementum over Enamel
What is the main component of periodontal fibers? Collagen
If there is bleeding noted with a pt. what changes might you see in the gingiva due to this? Color, position of the gingiva caused by the swelling, and consistency, etc.
What is the bone between the roots between two adjacent teeth called? Interdental septum
What is a circumscribed window in the bone exposing the root surface of the tooth or between two different teeth? Fenestration

What is a resorbed area of bone over the F surfaces of the root; it can occur labially? Dehiscence
What is it called when we have caused something; operator induced? Etiogenic
This is the result of a chemical mediator which cause the PMN’s to move to site of injury. Chemotaxis
Increased blood due to vasodilation, the first sign of inflammation is called what? Hyperemia
An inappropriate or harmful response from the immune system is due to what? Allergic reaction
Powerful chemical substances secreted by inflammatory cells are what? Cytokines
A non-specific lymphocyte affective against host cells that are infected with viruses (AIDS) and some types of tumors, are called what? Natural Killer Cells

What type of cells can cause host cell tissue injuries? Macrophages, platelets, PMN’s, Neutrophils
What mediator of inflammation is found in a mast cell? Histamine
What is the purpose or role of macrophage? Eat or engulf and digest bacteria
When you are having an allergic or hypersensitivity reaction, can it cause tissue damage? Yes, Tissue damage, LOC. GEN., delayed and immediate
