Question
Answer
______________ is the tissues that surround support, and attach to the teeth   Periodontium  
🗑
Structures of the periodontium   Gingiva,Periodontal Ligament,Cementum,Alveolar bone  
🗑
Visible component of periodontium inside the mouth. Described as coral pink, pink, pale pink and pigmented (darker when melanin pigmentation is present   Gingiva  
🗑
Between the mucogingival junction and attached gingivaContains frenum and muscle attachmentsKeratinizedStippled or non-stippled   Gingiva  
🗑
surrounds the tooth and creates a cuff or collar extending coronally about 1.5mm; MOST commonly in the mandibular anterior and bicuspid area   Free gingiva  
🗑
slight depression on the gingiva corresponding to the depth of the sulcus   Free Gingival groove  
🗑
gingiva that fills the embrasure   Papillae  
🗑
proximal surfaces created below the contact area of teeth (aka.interdental gingiva)   Embrasures  
🗑
slight depression of tissue between the buccal and lingual interdental papillae   Col  
🗑
thin, flat plate that joins the gingival epithelium and underlying connective tissue.   Basal Lamina  
🗑
ridges of epithelium that serve a connection between the free and attached gingiva and the underlying connective tissue   Rete pegs  
🗑
makes up the surface tissue of the oral cavity   Stratified squamous epithelium  
🗑
Keratinocytes, Langerhans cells, Merkel cells and melanocytes also included in the   tissue of the oral cavity  
🗑
-when keratinocytes migrate from the basal layer to the surface. The cells become increasingly flattened, develop granules in the subsurface, and produce a superficial layer that is similar to skin where no cell nuclei are present   Keratinization  
🗑
___________are part of the phagocytic system (ingest or engulf micro-organisms, cells, or other substances by other cells   Langerhan cells  
🗑
__________contain nerve endings and are associated with tactile sensitivity.   Merkel cells  
🗑
______________phagocytized and remains in the epithelium and gives the appearance of pigmentation to the epithelium   Melanin  
🗑
extends from the free gingival groove to the mucogingival junction; It is attached to the bone by collagen fibers   Attached gingiva  
🗑
Thin nonkeratinized or parakeritinizedFrom outer epithelium to gingival sulcusJunctional epithelium (forms the gingival wall of the sulcus); no rete pegs, permeable, gingival crevicular fluidHealthy; 1-3mm deep   Sulcular epithelium  
🗑
__________ is believed to perform several functions: cleansing the sulcus, improving the epithelial cells adherence to the tooth surface, anti-microbial and immune properties.   Sulcular or Gingival Crevicular Fluid  
🗑
Separates periodontal ligamentNonkeratinized, stratified squamous Protects attachment15 to 20 cells thickHealthy .25 to 1.35mmContinual renewingSupports free marginal gingivaConsidered the dentogingival unit   Junctional epithelium  
🗑
2 layers:Collagen fibrils & Fibroblasts   Lamina propria  
🗑
form fiber bundles which make up 60% of the lamina propria   Collagen fibrils  
🗑
undifferentiated mesenchymal cells, mast cells, macrophages, blood vessels, nerves are the other elements in CT   Fibroblasts  
🗑
Gingival ligament=fiber bundles   -Protect, support, maintain tone  
🗑
Five principal fiber groups:   Dentogingival, Alvelogingival, Dentoperiosteal, Circular, Transsepta  
🗑
maintain relationship between teeth   Transsepta  
🗑
support free gingiva   circular  
🗑
anchor tooth to bone and protect PDL   dentoperiosteal  
🗑
attach gingiva to bone   alvelogingival  
🗑
support gingiva   Dentogingival  
🗑
Cushion between the tooth and bone made up of CT, fiber bundles & cellsGenerate pericementum & periosteumCementicles form from calcified material in the PDL or from displaced bits of cementum or bone   Periodontal Ligament  
🗑
Functions of Periodontal Lig.   tooth anchorage, Fibrous tissue development and maintenance, Calcified tissue development and maintenance, nutritive and metabolite transport, sensory functions (touch, pressure, pain, and proprioception(displacement sensitivity)  
🗑
are made of collagen, and arranged in bundles with the other cellular, vascular, and nerve tissues   fibrous bundles  
🗑
Attach tooth to bone, transmit occlusal forces to bone, resist occlusal forces, protect the vessels and nerves from injury   fibrous bundles  
🗑
attached to the cementum as brush-like fibers   Sharpey’s fibers-  
🗑
Movement throughout lifeWear of proximal and occlusal tooth surfaces1 cm in a lifetime   Physiologic Mesial Migration/Drift  
🗑
Cover root surface, calcified, formed by cementoblastsAnchors teeth, maintains occlusal relationship, seals dentinal tubulesContains Sharpey’s fibersNo vascular or nerve connections so there is transmission of pain sensations5 types   perio. cementum  
🗑
Support, extension of bone from body of mandible and maxilla, lines sockets of teethLamina dura- walls of socket when viewed on a radiographRadio-opaqueAlveoli-tooth sockets   Alveolar Process  
🗑
Alveolar Process Components   1. Alveolar bone2. Compact bone3. Trabecular & cancellous bone  
🗑
Tooth socketsLined by cribriform plateThousands of poresSupplied with nerves and bloodEach root has its ownBone lining alveoli contain Sharpey’s fibers or “bundle bone”   Periodontium Alveoli  
🗑
Cortical plates of the jawDepends on alignment of teethFollows contour of the rootHeight and thickness determined by alignment & angulation   Compact Bone  
🗑
Between cortical plates & alveolar boneAKA-SpongiosumMore in the maxillaBlends without demarcation   Cancellous Bone  
🗑
resorbed area; occurs in pt’s with labailly inclined roots   Dehiscences  
🗑
opening or window in the bone covering the facial root surface or between two adjacent roots   Fenestrations  
🗑
Superior alveolar arteries   maxilla  
🗑

🗑
trigeminal   sensory  
🗑
