Q

What are three characteristics of oral mucosa?

A

Prominent basal lamina
-separates epi and lamina propria

Keratohyaline granules
-Granular layer

Lack of Langerhans cells

  • Mucosa susceptible to potential allergens
  • These cells typically fight off foreign things, w/o those, allergies result

21
Q

What is the mucocutaneous junction?

Study These Flashcards
A

Transition area b/t the skin and the oral mucous membrane

22

Line separating vermillion zone and skin

23
Q

What is the vermillion zone?

Study These Flashcards
A

Thin, keratinized epi

Long CT papillae

Numerous capillary loops in papillae

24
Q

What is the intermediate zone?

Study These Flashcards
A

B/T vermillion zone and labial mucosa

Parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium

25
What are the boundaries of the free gingival margin?
Gingival margin Free gingival groove Gingival sulcus Vestibule Oral cavity
26
T/F - Typically, the epithelium of the free gingiva is kera strat sq, but can also be para or non.
TRUE
27
T/F - Sulcular epithelium is nonkeratinized and lacks rete pegs.
TRUE
28
What are the boundaries of the attached gingiva?
Free gingival groove (coronally) ``` Mucogingival junction (apically) -Marked transition b/t epi of the attached gingiva (masticatory) and that of the alveolar mucosa (lining) ``` *Epi is kera ss and typically is stippled
29
LOOK AT SLIDE 41 FOR GOOD PICTURE.
DO IT
30
What is the interdental papilla?
Occupies the embrasure b/t teeth below the contact *Kera ss epi
31
What is the col?
Depression b/t peaks of the interdental papilla (below the contact) *NONkera ss epi
32
T/F - Masticatory mucosa covers the hard palate.
TRUE - Palatine or median raphe - Kera ss epi
33
T/F - Hard palate has mucoperiosteum.
TRUE *Lamina propria attached directly to the underlying bone, no submucosa
34
Specialized mucosa is where?
Dorsal tongue * Kera or nonkera * Taste buds
35
What are the 4 papillae of the tongue?
Filiform - Most NUMEROUS - No taste buds Fungiform - Mushroom shaped - Anterior tongue Circumvallate - LARGEST - Taste buds on lateral surface Foliate -Posterolasteral border
36
Hairy tongue is elongation of what?
Filiform papilla
37
What is the dentogingival junction?
Junction b/t attached gingiva and tooth | -enamel or cementum
38
What are the 2 components of the dentogingival junction?
Junctional epithelium - Floor of gingival sulcus - From REE Epithelial attachment - The glue - Basal lamina-like
39
T/F - A healthy gingival sulcus should NOT have rete pegs. What do rete pegs mean?
TRUE *Inflammation
40
T/F - Cells of the sulcular epi are joined TO EACH OTHER by desmosomes.
TRUE
41
T/F - The JE has hemidesmosomes on both surfaces.
TRUE
42
Gingival and sulcular epi mature due to what?
Superficial, intructive influences JE does NOT MATURE b/c of deeper, permissive influences Hemidesmosomes on both surfaces of the epithelium
43
T/F - Gingival epi is NOT supported by CT containing inflammatory cells.
TRUE It keratinizes!
44
T/F - Sulcular and JE ARE supported by CT with inflammatory cells.
TRUE *These DO NOT KERATINIZE
45
Proliferation of JE. Tell me.
NOT ABLE to proliferate w/o inflammatory cells Normal, slow apical proliferation w/ low level of inflammatory cells W/ increase of inflammatory cells, JE proliferates and migrates apically - Periodontal pocket - Recession of attachment level
