Q

what are the functions of the gingival fibers?

A

reinforce the gingiva
provide resilience and tone
maintain architectural form and integrity

22
Q

where are the circular fibers?

A

encircle tooth like a cuff

23
Q

where are the dentogingival fibers?

A

fan out from supra-crestal cementum into free gingiva

24
Q

where are the dentoperiosteal fibers?

A

run from supracrestal cementum into attached gingiva

25
Q

where are the transseptal fibers?

A

run from tooth to tooth (embedded in cementum)

26
Q

what is the structure of periodontal ligament?

A

richly vascular and cellular connective tissue surrounding the roots and joining cementum and alveolar bone

27
Q

what is the radiographic view of pdl?

A

the space between lamina dura (alveolar bone proper) and root surface
hourglass shape space
0.25 mm width

28
Q

what are the functions of pdl?

A

permits forces to be distributed

essential for tooth mobility

29
Q

what are the principal fibers of pdl?

A

alveolar crest fibers
horizontal fibers
oblique fibers
apical fibers

30
Q

what are the cells of pdl?

A

fibroblasts, osteoblasts, cementoblasts, osteoclasts, epithelial cells, nerve fibers, epithelial cell rests of mallassez

31
Q

where are the fibroblasts?

A

aligned along principal fibers

32
Q

where are the osteoblasts?

A

line bone surface

33
Q

where are the cementoblasts?

A

line cemental surface

34
Q

where are the osteoclasts?

A

multinucleated, create ruffled surface of bone

35
Q

what is cementum?

A

mineralized tissue covering tooth surface and occasionally small portions of the crown of the teeth

36
Q

how is cementum different from bone tissue?

A

no blood vessels
no lymph vessels
no innervation
no physiologic resorption/remodeling

37
Q

what are the other characteristics of cementum?

A

continuing deposition throughout life
collagen fibers embedded in organic matrix
high mineral content (65%), mainly HA

38
Q

what are the intrinsic cemental fibers?

A

produced by cementoblasts

composed of fibers oriented parallel to root

39
Q

what are the extrinsic fibers?

A

sharpey’s fibers

produced by pdl fibroblast

40
Q

what are the different forms of cemental fibers?

A

acellular, extrinsic fiber cementum- coronal or middle portion of the root
cellular, mixed stratified cementum- apical third of the root and in the furcations
cellular, intrinsic fiber cementum- in resorption lacunae

41
Q

what happens to cemental thickness throughout life?

A

increases by gradual apposition

42
Q

what is the cementum thickness in cervical portion of the root?

A

20-50um

43
Q

what is the cementum thickness in apical portion of the root?

A

150-250 um

44
Q

what does the alveolar bone consist of?

A

bone formed by both dental follicle and cells independent of tooth development

45
Q

what are the parts of alveolar bone?

A

cancellous bone, cortical bone, bone marrow

46
Q

what does the bone marrow consist of?

A

adipocytes, vascular structures, undifferentiated mesenchymal cells

47
Q

does the alveolar bone remodel?

A

remodels in response to forces and tooth movement

48
Q

how is the alveolar bone made?

A

osteoblasts produce bone matrix (osteoid) consisting of collagen fibers, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans
osteoid undergoes mineralization by the deposition of minerals (calcium and phosphate)
