25
Q

what are the three parts of the gingiva?

A

free gingiva, attached gingiva and interdental papilla

26
Q

what are synonyms for free gingiva?

A

gingival sulcus, marginal gingiva, sulcus depth

27
Q

what are the margins of free gingiva?

A

extends from free gingival margin and free gingival groove

28
Q

what is the free gingiva made of?

A

keratinized epithelium

29
Q

what s the free gingival margin?

A

coronal end of gingiva- located 1.5-2mm coronal to CEJ

30
Q

what is the free gingival groove?

A

junction between free and attached gingiva

corresponds to CEJ- only found in 30-40% of adults

31
Q

what are the components of gingival epithelium?

A

oral epithelium
oral sulcular epithelium
junctional epithelium

32
Q

where is the oral epithelium?

A

faces oral cavity

33
Q

where is the oral sulcular epithelium?

A

faces tooth surface without contacting it

34
Q

where is the junctional epithelium? **

A

provides contact between gingiva and the tooth

35
Q

what is the macroscopic limit of the free gingiva?

A

extends from free gingival margin to free gingiva groove

36
Q

what is the microscopic limit of free gingiva?

A

extends from free gingival margin to junctional epithelium

37
Q

what are the characteristics of attached gingiva?

A

firm texture, coral pink, immobile, keratinized

38
Q

how does the attached gingiva width vary?

A

increases with age (passive eruption)
widest in incisors, narrowest in premolars
mandibular lingual- lowest in incisors, widest in molars

39
Q

what is stippling?

A

small depressions on the attached gingiva

40% of adults present stippling

40
Q

what is the mucogingival junction?

A

junction between attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa

41
Q

where does the mucogingival junction not exist?

A

not in the palate

42
Q

what does the shape of interdental papilla depend on?

A

the contact relationships between adjacent teeth
width of approximal tooth surfaces
course of CEJ

43
Q

what is the col?

A

concavity seen in contact areas of premolar/ molar region

non-keratinized epithelium (similar to junctional epithelium)

44
Q

what is the oral epithelium?

A

keratinized, stratified, squamous epithelium (keratinocytes)

45
Q

what are the layers of the oral epithelium?

A

basal layer
prickle cell layer
granular cell layer
keratinized cell layer

46
Q

what is orthokeratinized?

A

no nucleus

47
Q

what is parakeratinized

A

nuclear remnants

48
Q

what happens from the basal layer to the granular layer?

A

cytoplasmic tonofilaments and number of desmosomes increase

number of organelles increase

49
Q

what are the cells of the oral epithelium?

A

keratinocytes (90%)

clear cells

50
Q

what are clear cells?

A

melanocytes, langerhans cells, merkel’s cells

51
Q

what do melanocytes do?

A

synthesize melanin pigment

52
Q

what do langerhans cells do?

A

defense cells

53
Q

what do merkel cells do?

A

sensory

54
Q

what is the basement membrane?

A

present between basal layer of oral epithelium and CT
1-2 um wide
rich in glycoproteins
contains protein-polysaccharide complexes

55
Q

what are the 2 layers of basement membrane seen microscopically?

A

lamina lucida- adjacent to basal cells

lamina densa- adjacent to connective tissue

56
Q

what does the lamina densa project?

A

anchoring fibers project into connective tissue

57
Q

what are hemidesmosomes?

A

dense plaques that attach epithelium to the basement membrane

58
Q

what are desmosomes?

A

pairs of hemidesmosomes

59
Q

how does stippling form?

A

in the boundary between oral epithelium and underlying connective tissue, connective tissue projects into epithelium connetic tissue papillea with epithelial ridges or rete pegs intervening. when rete pegs fuse- stippling

60
Q

where are rete pegs missing from

A

junctional epithelium site
