Q

Discuss how root structure develops starting at the bell stage

A

IEE + REE combine to form cervical loop
Cervical loop divides into Hertwigs Epithelial Root Sheath
Papilla contacts HERS - forms osteoblast
Follicle brakes down, causing cementoblast to differentiate exposing dentine
Further away fibroblast between collagen form PDL

Q

Discuss cementum

A

Acellular / Cellular
Made of type I and III collagen
Primary acelluar cementum laid down first, has intrinsic fibers
As this thickens it meets the PDL and traps fibers called extrinsic fibers

A

Hemi Desmosomes

32

A

Gingiva
CT attachment
PDL
Alveolar Bone

33
Q

What are the 3 zones of epithelium in the periodontium

A
  1. Oral Epithelium
  2. Crevicular / Sulcular Epithelium
  3. Junctional Epithelium
34
Q

  2. Spinosum
  3. Granulosum
  4. Corneum
35
Q

Discuss the stratum basale

A

Cuboidal Cells
Lots of mitochondria
LMW keratin
High mitotic activity

36
Q

Discuss the stratum spinosum

A

Polyhedral in shape
Less cell division
Higher molecular weight proteins present

37
Q

Discuss the stratum granulosum

A

Cells flatten out
Lots of keratohyaline granules
Not present in NON KERATINIZED EPITHELIUM

38
Q

Discuss the stratum corneum

A

Keratohyaline granules disappear

39
Q

Describe the oral epithelium

A

All 4 epithelium stem cells present
Most parakeratinized
Prominent Rete pegs
Slower turnover - 6 to 12 days

40
Q

Describe the sulcular epithelium

A

Basal, Spinous and Granular layers present
Thinner
Non Keratinized
From gingival crest to junctional epithelium
Few Rete Pegs

41
Q

Discuss the Junctional Epithelium

A

Non keratinized
Thin ( 3 -4 Cells thick)
Short turnover

42
Q

What is the lamina densa

A

The attachment adjacent to enamel

43
Q

What is the lamina lucida

A

Where hemidesomosomes of the epithelium cell BM attach

44
Q

Q

What is the lamina dura
