Q

In health, what depth should the gingiva sulcus be?

A

0.5-2.0mm depth

25
Q

What depth is the gingiva sulcus to be considered a periodontal pocket?

A

> 3.0mm

26
Q

What epitheliums make up the gingival cuff?

A

the sulcular and junctional epithelium

27
Q

At the base of the sulcus, what else is at the same level?

A

the free gingival groove

28
Q

Is sulcular epithelium thin or thick?

A

thin

29
Q

What does the sulcular epithelium have a more folded interface with?

A

the lamina propria

30
Q

Is the junctional epithelium thin or thick? and where?

A

thin apically

31
Q

What is the turnover rate of the junctional epithelium?

A

5-6 days

32
Q

How thick is the junctional epithelium?

A

2mm

33
Q

Where does the junctional epithelium connect from and to?

A

from the CEJ to the sulcus base

34
Q

What is the CEJ?

A

the more or less horizontal demarcation line that distinguishes the crown (A) of the tooth from root (B) of the tooth. Active recession of the gingiva reveals the cementoenamel junction in the mouth and is usually a sign of an unhealthy condition.

35
Q

Why is the junctional epithelium important?

A

protecting underlying tissues form plaque and prevention of periodontal disease

36
Q

What fluid is found in the sulcus?

A

the crevicular fluid

or also called the gingival crevicular fluid

37
Q

Where does the crevicular fluid originate?

A

The gingiva

38
Q

Where does the crevicular fluid located?

A

the sulcus

39
Q

What is the crevicular fluid?

A

an inflammatory exudate derived from the periodontal tissues.

It is composed of serum and locally generated materials such as tissue breakdown products, inflammatory mediators, and antibodies directed against dental plaque bacteria.

40
Q

What is the crevicular fluid composed of?

A

It is composed of serum and locally generated materials such as tissue breakdown products, inflammatory mediators, and antibodies directed against dental plaque bacteria.

41
Q

how do cells enter the crevicular fluid?

A

the junctional epithelium is very thin and allows cells to pass into the crevicular fluid

42
Q

What is the crevicular fluid important in?

A

Defence mechanisms

43
Q

What is the gingiva called between teeth?

A

interdental papilla

44
Q

What is the shape in the interdental papilla between anterior and posterior teeth?

A

anterior = pointed

posterior = wedge

45
Q

Name structures A-D and what type of section is this?

A

A= dentin
B = interdental papilla
C = enamel space
D = epithelium

Demineralised section (see cells and enamel you cant see)

46
Q

What is the col?

A

A valley-like depression which connects the gingival papillae situated in the interproximal space between two teeth

The epithelium of the col is continuous with the junctional epithelium.

47
Q

Do spaced/missing teeth have a col?

A

No

48
Q

What is shown in this image?

A

THE col

49
Q

What is the gingival lamina propria?

A

connective tissue which underlies the epithelia of the gingiva

50
Q

How is the gingival lamina propria arranged?

A

dense collagen bundles

51
Q

What is the role of the gingival lamina propria?

A

support the free gingiva

bind the attached gingiva to the alveolar bone to the tooth.

linkage of teeth to one another

52
Q

Name the 10 gingival lamina propria fibres?

A

Dentoginigval fibres.
Longitudinal fibres.
Circular fibres.
Alveologingival fibres.
Dentoperiosteal fibres.
Transseptal fibres.
Semicircular fibres.
Transgingival fibres.
Interdental fibres.
