puppies: 2-12 weeks
kittens: 2-6 weeks

19

22
Q

crown

A

part of the tooth visible above the gumline
shiny enamel covers the crown and prevents the tooth from being invaded by bacteria/acids, won’t regrow if damaged

23
Q

root

A

below gumline
covered by cementum

24
Q

apex of the tooth

A

tip of the root
where the nerve enters from the jaw into the tooth

25
Q

dentin

A

a substance that composes the bulk of the tooth
harder than bone but not harder than enamel
lies under enamel and cementum

26
Q

where is the pulp cavity located?

A

within the central core of the tooth and contains pulp

27
Q

pulp

A

within dentin, made up of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue

28
Q

where is the pulp chamber located?

A

in the crown

29
Q

where is the root canal located?

A

it is the portion located beneath the gumline

30
Q

periodontum

A

area where tooth meets gum

31
Q

gingiva

A

gum tissue
divided into free gingiva which lies closely against the tooth and attached gingiva which is firmly attached to underlying alveolar bone

32
Q

what is included in the periodontum?

A

includes the gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, alveolar bone

33
Q

gingival sulcus

A

shallow groove between tooth and gingiva
formed by rounded margin of free gingiva
called periodontal pocket when abnormal

34
Q

mucogingival line (MGL)

A

junction line where firmly attached gingiva connects to loose alveolar mucosa

35
Q

what does the periodontal ligament attach?

A

attaches the cementum to the alveolar bone of the mandible/maxilla

36
Q

cementum

A

bone-like tissue that covers the root surface
can repair itself
