Q

the periodontium is the ______ unit of tissues that ______ and ____ the teeth

A

functional, surrounds, supports

21
Q

covers bone and surrounds the teeth at cervical areas; function is both protective and supportive

A

gingiva

22
Q

parts of the gingiva

A

free gingiva, attached gingiva, interdental/papillary gingiva

23
Q

attachment apparatus includes…

A

periodontal ligament, cementum, alveolar bone

24
Q

the various tissues that surround and support the teeth; includes the cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar process.

A

attachment apparatus

25
Q

attaches the cementum of the root with the alveolar bone holding the tooth in place within its socket

A

periodontal ligament

26
Q

mineralized covering of the root

A

cementum

27
Q

bone of the maxilla and mandible that holds the teeth in place

A

alveolar bone

28
Q

healthy gingiva color

A

light pink to pink (variations with complexion/race do occur)

29
Q

healthy gingiva contour

A
  • marginal = flat, fits up tightly against tooth

- papillary = peaked, fills interproximal space

30
Q

healthy gingiva consistency

A

firm, resilient when pressed; attached gingiva firmly bound

31
Q

healthy gingiva surface texture

A

attached gingiva = stippled

marginal gingiva = shiny/smooth

32
Q

healthy gingiva bleeding tendency

A

no bleeding

33
Q

healthy gingiva positioning

A

no visible loss of attachment or recession

34
Q

unhealthy gingiva color (acute)

A

dark pink to bright red

35
Q

unhealthy gingiva color (chronic)

A

bluish red to whitish pink

36
Q

unhealthy gingiva contour (marginal gingiva)

A

rounded, rolled, clefts, festoons

37
Q

unhealthy gingiva contour (papillary gingiva)

A

blunted (flattened), bulbous, cratered

38
Q

unhealthy gingiva consistency

A

edema, soft/spongy (advanced disease = fibrotic)

39
Q

unhealthy gingiva texture

A

loss of stippling (advanced = fibrotic)

40
Q

unhealthy gingiva bleeding tendency

A

bleeding; level of bleeding indicates level of disease

41
Q

unhealthy gingiva position

A

loss of attachment/recession

42
Q

what are the 3 Cs used for charting gingival observations?

A

color, contour, consistency

43
Q

gingiva not attached to tooth, creates a sulcus, most visual aspect of gingiva

A

free gingiva

44
Q

epithelial attachment; where tissue connects to the tooth

A

junctional epithelium

45
Q

Class II occlusion occurs when the mandible is moved too far….

A

backwards

46
Q

Class III occlusion occurs when the mandible is moved too far….

A

forwards

47
Q

types of embrasures (look at diagrams to make sure you know what is what)

A

type I, type II, type III

48
Q

ideal occlusion is classified as…
