3/7/17 The periodontium I TEST #3 Flashcards
What is the periodontium?
-Tissues that invest and support the tooth
What are the three principal components of the periodontium?
- Alveolar Process
- Cementum
- Periodontal Ligament
How does the periodontium develop?
-Interactions of mesenchyme, HERS, and dental follicle
What type of joint is the tooth in?
-Gomphosis
What are four types of cells used to form the periodontium?
- Osteoblasts
- Cementoblasts
- PDL fibroblasts
- Odontoblasts
Where do the osteoblasts that form the periodontium arise from?
-Surrounding mesenchymal tissues
Where do the cementoblasts that form the periodontium arise from?
-HERS/Follicle Cells: Ectomesenchymal cells
What is the origin of HERS?
-Epithelial cells
HERS influences mesenchymal cells to form what two types of cells that help form the periodontium?
- 1st Cementoblasts
- 2nd PDL fibroblasts
What type of bone deposition is the alveolar process formed by?
-Intramembranous ossification
When does alveolar process formation begin?
-8 weeks in utero
T/F Crypts develop around tooth germs, such that they eventually form the sockets
True
The alveolar process develops substantially during what event that is under the influence of the dental follicle?
-Tooth eruption
T/F The alveolar process is not remodeled throughout life
False
It is remodeled throughout life
In an Anodontic individual what happens with the alveolar process?
-Alveolar process development impaired
What type of bone do you find in the alveolar bone proper (lines the tooth socket most directly)?
-Compact Bone
What structures make up the alveolar bone proper?
- Cribriform plate (Anatomical term)
- Lamina dura (radiographic term)
What type of bone do you find in the supporting alveolar bone?
-Compact and Trabecular bone
What structures do you find in the supporting alveolar bone?
- Cortical plates (Compact bone)
- Central spongiosa (trabecular bone)
T/F The Cribriform plate in the alveolar bone proper have Volkmann’s canals running through it
True
The Lamina dura is an area of attachment for what?
-PDL
The bundle bone is another name for the alveolar bone proper in a histological sense that contains what types of fibers embedded in bone?
-Sharpey’s fibers
