Module 1 Flashcards
What are the 4 tissues of the peridontium?
Gingiva
PDL
Cementum
Bone
What kinda of bone do we have?
Trabecular, compact and alveolar
Is the inside of the sulcus keratinized or non keratinized?
non-keratinized
What is the order of the gingiva
gingival margin free gingiva free gingival groove attached gingiva mucogingival junction alveolar mucosa
What kind of tissue is the gingiva made up of?
connective tissue
What is the alveolar bone also known as?
cribiform plate
What do epithelial tissues line?
The oral cavity
What kind of epithelium lines the oral cavity?
Stratified squamous
Do the epithelial tissues have extracellular matrix?
very little
What does the epithelium cover?
the underlying connective tissue
Does the epithelial tissue have a direct blood supply?
No, depends on the underlying connective tissue
What are the 2 types of oral epithelial tissue?
Keratinized and non keratinized
Keritanized is also known as
masticatory tissue
Where is the keratinized tissue located?
- surrounding the teeth (gingiva, free and attached)
- hard palate
Non-keratinized tissue is also known as
lining mucosa
Where is the non-keratinized tissue located?
- sulcar, col, junctional epithelium
- cheeks vestibule, soft palate oral pharynx
- floor of mouth, ventral of tongue
There is a 3rd type of oral epithelial tissue, what is it?
Specialized
Where is the specialized oral tissue located?
Dorsal of tongue (filiform, fungiform, foliate, circumvallate)
What is the layer that separates the epithelium from connective tissue?
the basal lamina
What are some examples of clinical characteristics?
color, shape, size, contour, consistency, texture, position of margin, amt of attached gingiva, bleeding, exudate, papillae shape, col
What does the gingiva look like on children?
more red
What are characteristics of the epiithelium in children?
thinner, less keratinized
What does the width of attached gingiva have in children?
less variation in width
What are sulcus depths like in children?
increased sulcus depths
