🗑
prevents food from becoming packed between teeth during mastication   Interdental gingiva  
🗑
coronal boundary   gingival margin  
🗑
apical boundary of gingiva   alveolar mucosa  
🗑
free gingival groove   shallow linear depression that separates free and attached gingiva  
🗑
may be visible clinically but not obvious   free gingival groove  
🗑
mucogingival junction   clinically visible boundary where pink attached gingiva meets red, shiny alveolar mucosa  
🗑
PDL   layer of soft connective tissue that covers the root of tooth and attaches it to bone of tooth socket  
🗑
composed mainly of fiber bundles   PDL  
🗑
PDL attachment   one side to root cementum other side to alveolar bone of tooth socket  
🗑
supportive function of PDL   suspends and maintains tooth in socket  
🗑
Sensory function of PDL   provides sensory feeling to tooth such as pressure and pain  
🗑
Nutritive function of PDL   provides nutriets to cementum and bone and itself  
🗑
Formative functio of PDL   builds and maintains cementum and alveolar bone of tooth socket  
🗑
Resorptive function of PDL   can remodel the alveolar bone in response to pressure such as that applied during ortho  
🗑
Cementum   thin layer of hard, mineralized tissue covering surface of root  
🗑
attached to dentin of root and seal off dentinal tubules   Cementum  
🗑
more resistant to resorption than bone making it possible for teeth to be moved during ortho   Cementum  
🗑
high resistance allows pressure applied during otho to cause resorption of alveolar bone   Cementum  
🗑
does not have itsl own blood supply or nutrient supply   Cementum  
🗑
no nerves and is insensitive to pain   Cementum  
🗑
anchors ends of PDL to tooth   Cementum  
🗑
outer layer of cementum   protects underlying dentin and seals ends of open dentinal tubles  
🗑
compensates for tooth wear at occlusal or incisal surface   Cementum  
🗑
formed at apical area of root to comensate for occlusal attrition   Cementum  
🗑
Alveolar bone   bony projection surrounds and supports roots of teeth  
🗑
AKA alveolar process   Alveolar bone  
🗑
existance of alveolar bone depends on   presence of teeth  
🗑

🗑
cause of fenestration   fistual tries to find way out-abcess  
🗑
dehiscence   cleft like defect in cortical bone including bone margin  
🗑
cause of dehiscence   mechanical perio disease-teeth start flaring and bone resorbs  
🗑
