Order of Junction between tooth, epithelium, and Connective tissue (inside to outside)
- Tooth
- Internal Basal Lamina (Lamina Densa and Lamina Lucida)
- Junctional Epithelium
- External Basal Lamina
- Connective tissue
What is the Biologic Width?
Connective tissue attachment and junctional epithelium attachment (usually 2 mm)
What PDL fibers are the most numerous and provide the main support to the tooth?
Oblique Fibers
What is the first type of cementum to be formed?
Acellular cementum
When is cellular cementum formed?
After the tooth has reached the occlusal plane
How are the Sharpey’s fibers arranged in cellular cementum?
Parallel to the PDL or randomly
How are the Sharpey’s fibers arranged in acellular cementum?
Perpendicular to the tooth (Right angles)
What is the composition of cementum?
Inorganic (40-50%): Hydroxyapatite
Organic: Type I (90%) and Type III (5%) Collagen
What is the relative mineralization of the Periodontal structures?
- Enamel (97%)
- Dentin (70%)
- Bone (65%)
- Cementum (40-50%)
What is the most common CEJ configuration?
Cementum overlapping enamel (60-65% of cases)
How is alveolar bone formed?
Intramembranous ossification
What is the hydroxyapatite composition of alveolar bone?
60-65% Hydroxyapatite
What is the function of Osteoblasts, Osteoclasts, and Osteocytes in alveolar bone?
- Osteoblasts: Form Osteoid/bone
- Osteoblasts: Resorb and remodel bone
- Osteocytes: Form networks of bone (in lacunae)
What makes up the attachment apparatus?
- PDL
- Cementum
- Alveolar Bone
What is the physiologic Architecture of the Alveolar Bone?
Bone more coronal interproximally than on the lingual or facial side
What is the Reverse Architecture of the Alveolar Bone?
Bone more apical interproximally than on lingual or facial side (opposite of physiologic architecture)
What is dehiscence?
V-shaped defect with the marginal bone gone
What is Fenestration?
“window” defect in bone with marginal bone still intact
What is mesial drift?
Distal = Bone formation
Mesial = Bone resorption
What is the cranial nerve supplying the periodontium?
The trigeminal nerve (CN 5)
What happens to keratinization of the periodontium when aging?
It decreases

It decreases
