applied anatomy Flashcards
what is the keratinized gingiva
The attached gingiva+ the marginal gingiva
what kinda of gingiva is found beyond the mucogingival jucntion
Unkeratinized gingiva
how to find the width of attached gingiva
measure from gingival margin to mucogingival junction
subtract probe deapth from this
what is used to diagnosis of periodontisis
based on attachment loss, NOT probe depths
how to calculate attachment loss
Pocket depth+ gingival recession
how does Soft tissue attach to the tooth
via fibrous tissue and via junctional epithelium
what is the connective tissue attachment
1.06-1.08mm
what is the epithelial attachment
1.4mm
what should the distance from CEJ to alveolar crest be
2mm
what should you do if the distance from crown margin to alveolar crest is less than 2mm
Crown lengthening
what was the initial thinking to create recession
width of keratiniezed tissue less than 2mm
problem with narrow gingiva
Cannot protect from friction
cannot buffer against muscle pull
facilitates subgingival plaque formation
what does narrow gingiva facilitate subgingival plaque formation
Mobile tissue causes pocket to open
Facilitates food impaction
Impedes oral hygiene
why does the gingiva move down
Via bone resorption witch in turn pulls down the connective tissue that supports the gingiva
what is recession described as when the gingival margin is coronal to CEJ
NEgative recession
what happens if you violate the biologic width
leads to lots of inflammation
what is modern ideal concerning gingival health in association with its dimensio
Gingival health can be maintained indepedent of its dimensions
what has more resistance to attachment loss, narrow or wide gingiva
Both equal
what receeds more thick or thin gingiva
Thin more
