Diagnostic Findings Flashcards
keratinized gingiva
dense fibrous CT (free gingiva + attached gingiva)
T/F: mucogingival jxn is everywhere except the palate
true
T/F: inflamed gingiva is collagen poor (collagen is lost and cell rich)
true
boundaries of the normal sulcus includes what?
- sulcular epithelium (non-keratinized)
- dento-gingival jxn
- surface of gingiva is keratinized, the sulcus and interdental col are not keratinized
junctional epithelium (non-keratinized)
immediately apical to sulcus/pocket base
supra-crestal CT
collagenous gingival fiber insertion into cementum between junctional epithelium and alveolar crest
Sharpey’s fibers
collagenous fiber insertion from bone to cementum
PDL fibers
- transseptal
- alveolar crest
- horizontal
- oblique
- apical
- interradicular
type 1 and 3 collagens are in what?
- PDL
- gingival fibers
- gingival CT
- matrix for bone and cementum
type 4 collagen is in what?
basement membrane (basal lamina)
supraperiosteal supplies blood for which tissues?
facial/lingual
clinical findings are based on what?
- probing depth
- bleeding on probing (inflammation)
- tooth mobility
- furcations
- clinical attachment level (attachment loss)
- attached gingiva
- gingival recession
the presence of shallow probing depths in the absence of inflammation (e.g. no BoP) are what?
GOOD negative predictors of disease progression
T/F: lack of BoP may indicate health but bleeding may or may not indicate the presence of periodontitis
true
T/F: the presence of deep pockets and gingival inflammation have HIGH positive predictive value for hte progression of periodontitis
false, LOW so it not reliable in prediciting periodontal disease progression
what is the hallmark of periodontal disease progression?
loss of attachment
clinical attachment level
probe depth plus recession (distance from CEJ to the base of the pocket)
attached gingiva
portion of the keratinized tissues (gingiva) that is firmly bound down to underlying tooth or periosteum (not part of the pocket wall)
width of attached gingiva (width of keratinized gingiva)
distance from gingival line to mucogingival line minus probe depth
mucogingival defect (deformity)
insufficient attached gingiva (<1mm) with probe depth reaching or exceeding (traversing) the mucogingival junction, lack of keratinized tissue, aberrant frenum, shallow vestibule
