anatomy Flashcards
4 parts of the peridontium
gingiva, PDL, root cementum, alveolar bone
To what type of bone does the PDL attach?
avleolar bone proper (ABP) aka bundle bone aka inner alveolar plate
Where does gingiva attach to bone?
outer cortical plate
PDL fibers attach to __________ and __________.
root cementum, alveolar process
_______________ attach PDL to cementum.
Sharpies fibers
2 functions of the periodontium
(1) attach the tooth to bony tissue and jaw (2) maintain integrity of masticatory mucosa
Periodontium originates from ______________ cells.
neural crest`
neural crest cells form _____________ beneath stomadeal epithelium.
ectomesenchyme
stomadeal epithelium releases factors which initiate __________________ interactions.
epithelial-ectomesenchymal
periodontium arises from which part of the tooth germ?
dental follicle (DF)
____________ determines the shape and form of a tooth.
dental papilla
Why is there no bleeding during tooth eruption?
eruption canal made from epithelial tissue with no blood supply
Which part of the tooth forms first? (crown or root)
crown
odontoblasts form dentin while_______________ is forming.
hertwig epithelial rooth sheath (HRS)
What triggers the formation of cementum?
HRS breakdown makes follicle visible, follicular ectomesenchymal cells differentiate into cememtoblasts by amelogenin.
PDL is formed by __________ that differentiated from dental follicle ___________ (location) to cementum.
fibroblasts, lateral
__________ differentiate from dental follicle ectomesenchymal cells that form _____________.
odontoblasts, avleolar bone proper
ectomesenchymal cells remain in mature periodontium and participate in ________.
turnover
root completion and PDL formation take _________ years after eruption.
3
part of the masticatory mucosa which covers the alveolar process and surrounds the cervical portion of the teeth
gingiva
3 parts of the gingiva (aka gingival sulcus, marginal gingiva, sulcus depth)
free gingiva (FG), attached gingiva (AG), interdental papilla
boundaries of free gingiva
extends from free gingival margin (FGM) to free gingival groove
What does probing measure?
free gingiva depth
_________ gingiva is thinner than _________ gingiva.
mand, max
FG is made of ___________ epithelium.
keratinized
FGM is located ________mm coronal to CEJ
1.5-2
FGG is the jxn between ________ and __________.
FG and AG
true/ false: FGG found in almost all adults
false- only 30-40%
in healthy gingiva, the CEJ is cover by which kind of gingiva?
FG
FGG corresponds to ______.
CEJ
3 types of gingival epithelium (GE)
oral epithelium (OE), oral sucular epithelium (OSE), junctional epthielium (JE)
which type of GE faces the oral cavity?
OE
which type of GE faces tooth surface w/o contacting it?
OSE
whichy type of GE provides contact between gingiva and tooth surface?
JE
true/false: if lost, OSE will not regenerate from OE
false: it will regenerate
when probing, which type of GE stops the probe?
JE
the limits and landmarks of the FG change from health to disease, and this determines accuracy of ___________.
probe reading
5 characteristics of healthy AG
(1) firm texure (2) coral pink (3) immobile (4) varying width (5) stippling
true/ false: buccal AG width decreases with age due to passive eruption
false: increases
buccal AG is widest in ______ and narrowest in _____________.
incisors, premolars
