Histology - 514-4,5,6,7 Flashcards
What does cortical mean?
cortex - around the outside
What does the PDL connect?
The cementum around the tooth to the alveolar bone
What type of collagen is the PDL composed of?
Type I, III, VII
What are the most abundant cells in the PDL?
Fibroblasts
The PDL alveolar attachment is equivalent to what structure in bone?
Periosteum
What cells form new bone after tooth extraction?
PDL fibroblasts > osteoblasts
Do Sharpey’s fibers blend into cementum?
Yes
hard to see on slide
What is the term for alveolar bone directly lining a tooth?
Bundle Bone
refers to Sharpey’s Fibers
What nerve innervates the PDL?
Trigeminal V
What is very tightly related to nerve endings in the PDL?
Collagen fibers
What type of fibers are oxytalan and what do they do?
Elastic.
Absorptive and keep vasculature open in PDL
Name the 5 principal fiber types of the PDL
- Alveolar Crest Group
- Horizontal Group
- Oblique Group
- Apical Group
- Interradicular Group
What is the additional fiber ligament that connects teeth to bone and has “memory”?
Transseptal ligament
Transseptal fibers are part of…
The GL (gingival ligament)
Where is the GL found?
Above the PDL in lamina propria
What are the five fiber bundles found in the GL?
Dentogingival, alveologingival, circular, dentoperiosteal, transseptal
What are the 3 general categories of tooth movement?
Preeruptive, eruptive, posteruptive
What are gubernacular canals?
cords of fibrous tissue creating a path for eruption.
Why is root formation not a cause of eruption?
Think tree
Why does alveolar bone remodeling not explain tooth eruption?
only explains how pathway was cleared
What is the best (however incomplete) model for tooth eruption?
PDL formation as motive force
What side does most of the resorption of deciduous teeth occur on?
Lingual
What side do permanent teeth develop relative to deciduous?
Lingual
What happens when a permanent tooth contacts a deciduous tooth from below?
Resorption happens at the root end of the deciduous tooth
What prefix is everything tooth?
Odonto (as opposed to osteo)
