Anatomy Flashcards
Three types of mucosa
Masticatory, Lining, specialized (dorsum of tongue)
Karring & Loe (1970)
Stippling is formed by invaginations of rete pegs into the underlying CT (predictor of health, absence not necessarily disease)
Ainamo & Loe (1966)
Free gingival groove only present in 1/3 of cases
Bowers 1963
Attached gingiva width ranges from 1-9 mm
Max lateral incisor (widest); md 1st pm (narrowest)
Tests to find MGJ
- Schiller’s iodide (stains glycogen in lining mucosa)
- Probe measurement
- Roll technique
Gingival thickness measurement
Transgingival probing (0.5mm accuracy) Ronay (2011)
Ultrasonic measurement (Eager 1996)
Probe visibility:
Kan (2010; if visible then <1mm, if not visible then >1mm.
Rasperini 2015: colored probe
Lang & Loe (1972)
32 dental students
<2mm KT resulted in inflammation
>2 mm KT resulted in health
Wennstrom & Lindhe (1983)
Dog study
Careful plaque control resulted in health regardless of KT or AG
Cortellini & Bissada (2018) AAP World Workshop
KT is NOT needed to maintain health
Ideally 1mm AG, 2mm KT
Magnusson (1983)
Junctional epithelium is resistant to microbial challenge
Oral epithelium layers
Deepest to most superficial
Stratum basale
Stratum spinosum
Stratum granulosum
Stratum corneum
at 2017 AAP, biologic width replaced with
Supracrestal tissue attachment
Junctional epithelium + supracrestal connective tissue attachment
Gargiulo (1961)
Sulcular depth: 0.69 mm
Epithelial attachment (0.97mm; most variable)
CT attachment (1.07mm; most consistent)
Armitage (1977)
In health and gingivitis, perio probe penetrates until apical 1/3 of JE
In periodontitis, probe extends to the coronal 1/3 of the CT
Basement membrane collagen type
Composed mainly of type IV collagen
