Q

Sulcus

A

Healthy * Enamel and Nonkeratinized marginal gingiva *Semipermeable membrane

20
Q

Pocket

A

Unhealthy

21
Q

What is at the bottom of the sulcus?

A

Junctional epithelium

22
Q

What are properties of the wall of the sulcus (2)?

A

Non-keratinized Semipermeable

23
Q

What is Gingival Crevicular Fluid?

A

Fluid found in the sulcus Cleanses the gingival sulcus Aids in adhesion Antibody defense Replaced several times a day GCF fluid represents extracellular fluid - per inflammatory. On stimulation it becomes the inflammatory exudate.

24
Q

How is the fluid created?

A

Residential plaque has a high molecular weight. This pulls fluid out of the epithelium into the sulcus. Osmotic pressure…

25
Q

Inflammation of sulcus

A

More bacteria pulling out more fluid

26
Q

How do you collect gingival crevicular fluid?

A

Extracravicular - filter paper Intracrevicular - pipet, washings

27
Q

What are two major components of gingival crevicular fluid?

A

Enzymatic - host or bacterial derived Non enzymatic - cellular, electrolytes, organic molecules

28
Q

What are the layers of the Basal Lamina?

A

Lamina Lucida Lamina Densa Anchoring Fibers Lamina Fibroreticularis

29
Q

What components do you find in the Lamina Lucida?

A

integrins laminins enactins dystroglycans

30
Q

What components do you find in the Lamina Densa?

A

Collagen IV Perclan (non aggregating proteoglycans)

31
Q

What components do you find in the Lamina Fibroreticularis?

A

Collagen III

32
Q

What are the anchoring fibers ins the Basal Lamina?

A

Collagen VII Fibrillin

33
Q

Periodontium does not include (4)?

A

Enamel Dentin Calcaneous bone Pulp

34
Q

Why does the periodontium give sensory information?

A

Necessary for proper positioning of the jaw

35
Q

What cells and compents are found in the gingival epithelium? (6)

A

Keratinocytes Melanocytes Desmosomes Tonofilaments (keratin) Basal Lamina Hemidesmosomes

36
Q

FGM stands for?

A

Free Gingival Margin (Free Gingiva)

37
Q

Gingival Margin

A

Where the free gingiva meets the tooth structure. Thin and rounded.

Q

What is the main cell in connective tissue?

A

Fibroblasts

41
Q

What layer of the epithelium is shed often?

A
