Q

What are interradicualr fibers for?

A

mulitrooted teeth

17
Q

WHat fiber holds the tooth in the socket and transmits occlual force

A

Oblique

18
Q

what is the 6th principal fiber group we should know?

A

transseptal

19
Q

What are sharpeys fibers?

A

the ends of the PDL fiber bundles that are embedded in the cementum on one side and bone

20
Q

Do the principal fiber groups have the abliily to reattach?

A

yes, if they are not destroyed by diesease

21
Q

What are the Components of the PDL?

A

cellular, extracellular

22
Q

Whare the components of the celluar part of the PDL?

A
  • defense cells (macrophage, neutrophils lymphocytes

- Fibroblasts, cementoblasts, osteoblasts, rests of malassez

23
Q

What are the Extracellular components of the PDL?

A
  • cells associated with neurovascular elements
  • FIbers
  • ground substance
24
Q

What is the ground substance of the extracelluar component of the PDL?

A

fills spaces between fiber and cells

25
Q

Where are the cemetoblasts located?

A

loacted nearer to the cemental surface

26
Q

Where are the fibroblasts found?

A

throughout the PDL

27
Q

What are fibroblasts needed for to produce?

A

procollagen that is needed for making collagen fiber bundles that make up the PDL

28
Q

Do fibroblasts assist in the breakdown of collagen?

A

Yes

29
Q

Where are osteoblasts located?

A

nearer to the alveolar surface
