Exam 1 B Flashcards
Circular gingival fibers do what?
support & contour to free gingiva
Dentogingival gingival fibers do what?
support of gingiva
Dentoperiosteal gingival fibers do what?
anchors tooth to bone
Alveologingival fibers do what?
attaches gingiva to alveolar bone
Transseptal fibers do what?
keep teeth in alignment and protects bone
What gingival fibers are not found on implants?
dentogingival
dentoperiosteal
transseptal
Alveolar crest periodontal fibers do what?
resists lateral movement
Horizontal periodontal fibers do what?
opposes lateral forces
Oblique periodontal fibers do what?
absorbs occlusal forces (largest group)
Apical periodontal fibers do what?
resists tipping of tooth
Interradicular periodontal fibers do what?
resists forces of luxation (pulling out) and tipping
What is biological width?
physiologic zone of gingival tissue coronal to the alveolar bone crest
What is biological width made of?
epithelial attachment and the gingival connective tissue attachment (junctional epithelium + connective tissue)
Biological width average numbers
2.04 mm (need 2-3 mm to have restorative work done)
Calculate CAL with words?
Probing depth measurement + gingival margin level ( + if apical to CEJ or - if coronal to CEJ)
Different types of gingivitis?
Plaque induced
non-plaque induced
