Q

What is the 2mm created by JE and connective tissue attachment?

A

Supracrestal tissue attachment

Biologic width

21
Q

What are the types of collagen present in gingival fibers

A

Type 1 and 3

22
Q

Fibers that are in close proximity to the
alveolar crest contribute to the
connective tissue attachment component
of the “supracrestal tissue attachment”.
Type I and III collagens are must
abundant.

A

Gingival fibers

23
Q

• Is a form of adaptive specialization or reinforcement for function. The pitted,
orange-peel appearance frequently seen in attached gingiva.
• If it is present it means health; if it is not present it does not mean no health
• ~40% of population

A

Stippling

24
Q

What types of collagen are prevalent in the PDL?

A

1,3, and 4

25
Q 
• Suspensory mechanism attaching tooth to alveolar bone
• Absorbs occlusal forces
• Transmits occlusal forces to bone
• Contains blood vessels
• Contains Collagen I, III and IV
• Contains proprioceptive nerve endings:  transmits pressure 
and pain via trigeminal nerve
• Cells
– Undifferentiated Mesenchymal cells 
– Fibroblasts
– Cementoblasts/Cementoclasts
– Osteoblasts/Osteoclasts
– Inflammatory cells (in disease)
– Epithelial rests of Malassez: remnants of Hertwig’s root sheath
A

PDL

26
Q

PDL fibers
– Cementum → crest alveolar bone
– Prevents extrusion and lateral movements

A

• Alveolar crest

27
Q

PDL fibers
– Cementum → alveolar bone at 90º
– Opposes lateral forces

A

• Horizontal

28
Q

PDL fibers
– Cementum → alveolar bone coronal direction
– Largest group
– Resists vertical masticatory forces

A

• Oblique

29
Q

PDL fibers
– Cementum → apical alveolar bone
– Resists tipping

A

• Apical

30
Q

PDL fibers
– Cementum → furcation bone
– Resist luxation and tipping

A

• Interradicular

31
Q
  • Calcified mesenchymal tissue
  • Contains 45-50% HA
  • Non-vascularized
  • No nerves
  • No lymphatics
  • Grows by apposition
  • Attached to the fibers of the PDL (Sharpey’s Fibers)
A

Cementum

32
Q

• Supports the teeth
• Vascularized
• Nerves (?)-are not in bone but in the periosteum
• Lymphatics
• Attachment of PDL fibers (Sharpey’s fibers)
• Components

– Inner socket wall: alveolar bone proper
• Bundle bone: attachment of PDL fibers into the
bone
– Cancellous trabeculae

41
Q

_____ pocket: 4-6 mm

A

Moderate:

42
Q

• Complexity of case mgmt 
Consider: 
• CAL 
• Amount and % of bone loss 
• PD 
• Presence/extent of ridge defects 
and Furcation Involvement 
• Tooth Mobility 
• Tooth loss (due to periodontitis)
A

Staging of Periodontitis

44
Q 
Considers biologic features: 
• RATE of disease progression 
• RISK of further advancement 
• potential threats to GENERAL 
HEALTH (e.g. smoking, diabetes) 
A to C: 
• A - Low risk of progression 
• B - Moderate risk 
• C - High risk
A

Grading of periodontits

45
Q

Stage ____ of periodontal disease:
• 1–2 mm clinical attachment loss (CAL), less than 15%
bone loss (BL) around root, no tooth loss due to
periodontal disease, probing depth (PD) 4 mm or less,
mostly horizontal BL

A

Stage 1

46
Q

Stage ____ of periodontal disease:
• 3–4 mm CAL, 15%–33% BL, tooth loss, PD 5 mm
or less, mostly horizontal BL

A

Stage 2

47
Q

Stage ___ of periodontal disease:
• 5 mm or more CAL, BL beyond 33%, tooth loss of four teeth or
less, with complex issues such as PD 6 mm or more, vertical BL 3
mm or more, Class II–III furcations, and/or moderate ridge defects

A

Stage 3

48
Q

Stage ___ of periodontal disease
• Encompasses all of Stage III with additional features that will require the
need for complex rehabilitation due to masticatory dysfunction,
secondary occlusal trauma, severe ridge defects, bite collapse, pathologic
migration of teeth, less than 20 remaining teeth (10 opposing pairs)

A
