DOH110 W3 Flashcards
What is the gingiva made up of
Free gingiva, Attached Gingiva, Interdental Gingiva, Gingival sulcus
What is a interdenatal Col
Valley like depression in interprocimal
What is Interdental (papilia) Gingiva
gingival tissue that fills in the spaces between the teeth
Periodontal Pocket
forms from apical migration of the junctional epithelium and destruction of periodontal fibers and bone
Periodontium
The periodontium is the tissues that surround the teeth and creates an attachment to the bone
What is fissure protection
material is placed in the pits & fissures of teeth in order to prevent or arrest caries
What would you use for fissure protection
GIC
What is Alveolar Process
The alveolar process is the bone that surrounds the teeth
What is the periodontium made up of
Gingival tissues, Cementum, Periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone
What is the Stroke Pressure
10 and 20 grams
Why we use probes
Measure pocket depths, attachment level, sizes of oral lesions
What is Attached Gingiva
gingiva is tightly connected to the cementum on the root & to the connective tissue cover of the alveolar bone
What & where is the gingiva sulcus
The gingival sulcus is the gap between the tooth and the free gingiva
what is Probing
the act of walking the tip of a probe along the base of a sulcus or pocket
What is Gingival pocket
deepening of gingival sulcus caused by detachment of coronal portion of junctional epithelium and swelling of tissue
