exam 2: gingival fiber ligament (GFL) and periodontal ligament (PDL) Flashcards
functions of the GFL- gingival fiber ligament:
- provides rigidity and density to the
marginal gingiva
functions of the GFL- gingival fiber ligament:
2. act as a periosteum for the
interproximal crestal alveolar bone
functions of the GFL- gingival fiber ligament:
3. provide one-half of the _____-width
1/2 biologic width
functions of the GFL- gingival fiber ligament:
4. act as a protective barrier for the crestal alveolar bone against the spread of
gingival inflammation
functions of the GFL- gingival fiber ligament:
5. inhibit the apical migration of the
junctional epithelium
GFL fiber groups
- dentogingival
- dentoperiosteal
- alveologingival
- transseptal
- semicircular
- transgingival
- circular
where is the area of the biological width
area of junctional epithelium and gingival fiber ligament attached to the root of a tooth
biological width extends from the most coronal attachment of the junctional epithelium to the
crestal alveolar bone
violation of the biological width due to placement of overextended restoration margins will result in __________________ and with time, induce loss of supporting alveolar bone with formation of a diseased _____________
chronic inflammation
diseased periodontal pocket
5 functions of the PDL
supportive
regenerative
nutritional
sensory
protective
the PDL is derived from the ectomesenchymal cells (neural crest) in the _________ zone of the dental follicle
intermediate zone
PDL development.
Cells in the most peripheral zone (outer) of the dental follicle give rise to the:
cells in the most proximal (inner) give rise to:
outer(peripheral=alveolar bone proper
inner(proximal)=cementoblasts
(insertion of the PDL in cementum: SEM)
the indifferent fiber plexus (arrows) consists of small diameter collagen in ____________that provide support for the principle fibers group
