30
Q

Centric relation or the retruded contact position–is a what position?

A

ligament-guided position

31
Q

PDL have which fibers

A

principal fibers which are collagenous. They’re terminal portion are termed Sharpey’s fibers

32
Q

Principal fibers are arranged in what 6 groups

A
transseptal fibers
alveolar crest fibers
horizontal fibers
oblique fibers
apical fibers
interradicular fibers
33
Q

transseptal fibers

A

keep teeth aligned

belong to gingiva because do not have osseous attachment.

34
Q

alveolar crest fibers

A

prevent the extrusion of the tooth and resist lateral tooth movements.

35
Q

oblique fibers

A

largest group in PDL

Bear the brunt of vertical masticatory stresses and tranform them into tension on the alveolar bone.

36
Q

apical fibers

A

do not occur on incompletely formed roots

37
Q

Cell types in PDL

A

fibroblasts-most common
cementoblasts
osteoblasts

38
Q

non-keratinized oral tissue

A

buccal mucosa
soft palate
floor of mouth
junctional epithelium

39
Q

Peridontium has 2 parts

A

Gingiva

Attachment apparatus

40
Q

Attachment apparatus composed of:

A

PDL
Cementum
Alveolar process of the maxillae and mandible

41
Q

Function of cementum

A

support for the fibers of PDL

42
Q

Collagen type in reticular fibers

A

Type III

43
Q

Collagen fibers in basal lamina

A

Type IV

44
Q

Amt of collagen in a tissue is determined by

A

hydroxyproline

45
Q

3 sources of blood supply to gingiva

A

supraperiosteal arterioles
vessels of PDL
Arterioles-emerge from crest

46
Q

supraperiosteal arterioles

A

along facial and lingual surfaces of the alveolar bone,

47
Q

vessels of PDL

A

extend into gingiva and anastomose with capillaries in the sulcus area.

48
Q

Functional matrix theory

A

Soft tissue is the primary determinant of growth
Bone is responsive to soft tissue
Deglutition influences mandibular growth
The soft tissues of the brain expand thus pacing growth of the flat bones of the skull

49
Q

A

aspirin, valium, dilantin, cigarette smoke (hypoxia)

50
Q

teratogen that causes microcephaly
