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
In natural teeth, ____ fibers attach to the teeth
Connective tissue fibers
In dental implants, there is direct bone to implant contact also known as:
osseointegration
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?
~ 2 mm
(JE + CT attachment)
In implants, epithelial cells are attached by:
Hemidesmosomes
In implants ____ are attached by hemidesmosomes
epithelial cells
T/F: In implants, collagen fibers do not insert into the implant but instead creates 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 the 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: Perpendicular
Implants: Parallel
