The dental tissue that most closely resembles bone is
Cementum
Diagnosis of periodontitis is based on
Attachment loss NOT probe depths
-apical migration
When bone is being resorted junctional epithelium moves to
Root surface
False pocket
The probe doesn’t go past CEJ—gingivitis
When gingival margin is coronal to CEJ
It is a negative recession
When gingival margin is apical to CEJ
Positive recession
CAL
Pocket depth+ gingival recesssion

Epithelial attachment
1.4 mm
Whole attachment
2-2.5 mm
Distance from CEJ to alveolar crest
Is 2 mm
Distance from crown margins to alveolar crest HAS to be
2 mm
If you don’t have enough distance from CEJ to alveolar crest then
Crown lengthening is necessary
Initial thinking of giniglave width and recesssion
Less than 2 mm predisposed to recession
Why does small width of keratinized tissue predispose to recession
Can’t protect from friction or buffer muscle pull
Facilitates subgingival plaque formation mobile tissue causes pockets to open
Can gingival health be maintenance independent of its dimensions?
YES
Narrow gingiva has same resistance to attachment loss as wide gingiva
Thin phenotype
Increased recession
More vulnerable to trauma
More inflammation
Less favorable treatment outcome
