Biology of dental implants Flashcards
In ____ PDL fibers attach from bone to root in multiple directions
Natural teeth
In natural teeth _____ acts as a shock absorber
periodontal ligament (PDL)
In natural teeth ______ fibers attach to the teeth
connective tissue
In dental implants there is direct bone to implant contact also known as:
osteointegration
What process occurs to sort of anchor the implant into the bone:
ankylosis
Describe peri-implant fibers:
Parallel cuff, oriented longitudinal
Previously called biologic width:
supracrestal tissue attachment
What is the measurement of the supracrestal tissue attachment (biologic width) in a natural tooth?
What components make up this measurement?
~2mm
JE + CT attachment
In implants, epithelial cells are attached via:
hemidesmosomes
In implants, ____ are attached by hemidesmosomes
epithelial cells
T/F: In implants, collagen fibers do not insert into the implant, but instead form a cuff around the implant
True
Although collagen fibers do not insert into the implant, they instead:
create a cuff around the implant
In an implant, the blood supply comes from:
terminal branches of large vessels from periosteum
In an implant is there more or less inflammatory response than in gingival tissues?
more
The blood supply to an implant contains fewer:
capillaries
Teeth vs. implants:
Attachment:
Teeth: basal lamina & hemidesmosomes
implants; basal lamina & hemidesmosomes
Teeth vs. implants:
Orientation of collagen fibers:
Teeth: perpendicaular
Implant: parallel
