Q

What does a healthy Gingiva look like? And depends on which factors?

A

pale pink but variations are common depending on epithelial thickness, and keratinization, vascularity, and pigmentation.

Q

What is the gingiva?

A

a thin, rounded edge, formed by a coronal slope of the tissue.
After the teeth penetrate the mucosa during the eruption, the gingiva margin is located between the occlusal surface and the terminal position slightly coronal to the cementoenamel junction.

Q

The function of bone.

A

-Housing for the roots of the teeth
-Alveolar processess:
. Part of the maxilla and the mandible
. Dependent on the presence of teeth
- Morphology: tooth dependent
- Shape of the alveoli (socket): follow the roof

Q

Describe Alveolar bone structure:

A

1- Alveolar bone proper (lamina dura): cribriform plat
2- Trabecular bone: supporting alveolar bone which lymphatic drainages are here.
3- Compact bone: formed by haversian bone and bine lamellae

Q

The distance of attached gingiva:

A

Mucogingival junction (MGJ) to bottom of gingival sulcus/pocket

17
Q

True or False: inadequate width of AG in childhood will correct itself from 6-12 years old.

A

True.

18
Q

What is characteristics of the periodental phenotype?

A

Limited amount of keratinized tissue a long with this tissue.

19
Q

What is the periodental ligament

A
  • connect the tooth to the alveolar bone.
  • PDL space: 0.1-0.25 mm (hour-glass shaped). Widest at apex and cervix; narrowest in middle. Depending on age and tooth function

X-ray: PDL space

20
Q

The function of PDL:

A

Physical function: - resistance to impact of occlusal force. - Transmission of occlusal force to bone.

Formative and remodeling function: formation and resorption of bone and cementum

Nutritional function: via blood vessels; lymphatic drainage

Sensory: transmitting tactile, pressure and pain

21
Q

What is the cementum

A
  • cover root surface
  • Fibers of PDL attached here
  • X-ray: not distinguishable
  • Thickest at Apex, thinnest at CEJ
  • Thickens as person AGES
22
Q

What is Fenestration?

A

Isolated area

Covered by periodontion and no bone

Genetic

23
Q

What is Dehiscence?

A

No bone —> no soft tissue —> Gingiva recession —> common side effect after ortho —> because they push the tooth to their edges and there is no bone on the buccle side and we see the dehiscence here.

24
Q

Name the Vascular supply of periodontium:

A

Maxillary - Anterior superior alveolar artery, Posterior superior alveolar artery, infraorbital artery, Greater palatine artery

Mandibular- Inferior Alveolar artery and branches

25
Q

Name the small arteries in periodontium:

A

1- Alveolar artery

2- Dental artery

3- Intraseptal artery

4- PDL vessles

5- Superiosteal vessels

26
Q

Name the lymphatic points in periodontium:

A

Mostly they go to the Submandibular Lymph nodes except:

  • 3rd Molars: Jugulodigastric LN
  • Palatal Gingiva: Deep Cervical LN
  • Lower incisors: Submental LN
27
Q

Name is nerve innervations in periodontium:

A

-Trigrminal nerve:

Pressure, touch, temperature, pain

Proprioception from PDL: tooth position, movement, tickness btw teeth in occlusion

  • Autonamic nerve: supeior cervical ganglion
  • Greater palatine N
  • Nasopalatine N
28
Q

We do numb the Greater Palatine N for which areas?

A

Hard palate

Molars

Premolars

29
Q

We do numb the Nasopalatine N for which areas?

A

Incisors

Palate sides

30
Q

Name smaller nerves to the skull for teeth:

A

Infraorbital nerve

Lingual nerve

Inferior alveolar nerve

Buccal nerve

Mental nerve
