E1 Flashcards
Periodontist is composed of 4 structures
Gingiva
PDL
Root Cementum
Alveolar bone
Alveolar bone is broken down into 2
Alveolar bone proper (bundle bone)
Alveolar process
Echo mesenchyme condenses around ______ and forms _____
Dental organ
Dental papilla
Dental papilla gives rise to
Dentin and pulp
Dental follicl gives rise to
Periodontist
Dental papilla determines
Shape and form of tooth
Gingiva is part of the
Masticatory mucosa which covers the alveolar process and surrounds the cervical portion of teeth
3 parts of Gingiva
Free Gingiva
Attached Gingiva
Interdental papilla
Free Gingiva
Gingival sulcus
Marginal Gingiva
Sulcus Depth
Extends from FGM to FGG
Keratinized epithelium
Free gingival margin
Coronal end of Gingiva
Located 1.5-2 mm coronal to CEJ
Probe depth is a measure of
Free gingival space
Free Gingival groove
Junction between free and attached Gingiva
Corresponds to CEJ
30-40% of adults
Oral sulcular epithelium faces
Tooth surface without contacting it
Oral epithelium faces
Oral cavity
Junctional epithelium provides
Contact between Gingiva and the tooth
Junctional epithelium is _______ to CEJ
1 mm above CEJ
Attached gingiva should be
Firm, coral pink, immobile, width varies
Attached Gingiva: Width ____ with age
Increases
Attached Gingiva: widest in
Incisors
Narrowest in premolar
Attached Gingiva: Mandibular lingual
Narrowest in incisors, widest in molars
Stippling
Small depressions on attached Gingiva
40% of adults
Sign of health
Loss=inflammation
No mucoginvial junction on
The palate
MGJ is the junction between
Keratinized and non keratinized
Attached Gingiva is important because
Supports marginal gingiva
Base for movable elements
Withstand frictional and functional stresses
Barrier for passage of inflammation
