mouth
Specialized mucosa is found where
On the dorsal of the tongue
Gingiva is divided into what 2 groups
Free gingiva
Attached gingiva
Free gingiva and attached gingiva combine to form the peak of gingiva that extends coronally between teeth
Interdental papilla
part of the interdental papilla that is apical to the contact area and connects the facial and lingual interdental papillae.
The col
The col is
A) Keratinized
B) Non-keratinized
Non-keratinized
Average depth of sulcus when measured
with a periodontal probe is about
1-3mm
The sulcus is
A) Keratinized
B) Non-keratinized
Non-keratinized
At the bottom of the sulcus is where the
gingiva attaches to the tooth
Attachment epithelium
Interdental papilla is to
prevent food from impacting interproximally beneath the contact areas of teeth
__________ is one of the first areas involved in
periodontal disease; it becomes swollen and blunted
Interdental papilla
Tightly attached to the underlying
connective tissue and bone
Attached gingiva
The first sign of periodontal disease is the loss of
Stippling
The normal colour of this gingiva
Coral or pink
In a diseased state, gingiva might become what color
Red, white or blushish
________ is the line between alveolar mucosa and attached gingiva
Mucogingival junction
3 types if glands

volume
- Parotid
- Submandibular
- Sublingual
Parotid
Secrete a thin, watery serous secretion
- Parotid
- Submandibular
- Sublingual

- Submandibular
- Sublingual
Parotid
Parotid gland =

B) Whartons duct
C) Bartholins duct
Stenson’s duct
Produces 60-65% of resting saliva
- Parotid
- Submandibular
- Sublingual
Submandibular
Mixed gland – serous and mucous
- Parotid
- Submandibular
- Sublingual
Submandibular
Duct opens in sublingual caruncle at the
base of the lingual frenum in floor of mouth
- Parotid
- Submandibular
- Sublingual
Submandibular
Smallest of the 3 pairs of glands
- Parotid
- Submandibular
- Sublingual
Sublingual
Produces 10% of saliva
- Parotid
- Submandibular
- Sublingual
Sublingual
Each tooth has a ______ & a _______ portion.
Crown & root
The crown is covered by
Enamel
The root is covered with
Cementum
The crown and root are joined at the
CEJ - Cementoenamel junction
the whole crown of the tooth that is covered by enamel (regardless of whether it is erupted)
A) anatomical crown
B) clinical crown
Anatomical crown
the part of the crown that is visible above the gingiva.
A) anatomical crown
B) clinical crown
Clinical crown
The line formed by the junction of the cementumand the enamel is called the
Cervical line or CEJ
_________ of a tooth is the moving of that tooth through its surrounding tissues so that the clinical crown gradually appears longer.
Eruption
division of a root into 2 segments
Bifurcation
division of a root into 3 segments
Trifurcation
Between the roots
Furcal region
The portion of the jaw that supports
the teeth is called the ______
Alveolar process
The bony socket in which the tooth fits
is called the
Alveolus
What are the 4 tooth tissues
- Enamel
- Dentin
- Cementum
- Dental pulp (soft tissue)
The outer surface of the anatomic crown is formed by
Enamel
Hardest tissue in the human body
Enamel
Forms the main portion or body of the tooth
Dentin
Underneath enamel and cementum
Dentin
Dentin in capable of adding to itself, creating
Secondary dentin
Covers the root in a non perfect layer
Cementum
Main function: to provide a medium for
attachment of the tooth to the alveolar
bone
A) cementum
B) enamel
C) pulp
D) dentin
Cementum
T/F: Cementum is thin at cervical line, thicker at apex
True
__________is the union of cementum and dentin
Dentinocementum junction
Cells that produce cementum are called
cementoblasts
2 types of cementum
- Acellular
- Cellular
Housed in center of tooth
Pulp
Nourishing, sensory, dentin-reparative
system of tooth
Pulp
dentin forming cells that surround pulp
Odontoblasts
The chief function of odontoblasts is to
lay down primary, secondary, and
reparative dentin
2 divisions of pulp
- Pulp chamber
- Pulp canals
pulp chamber + pulp canals =
Pulp cavity
4 types of teety
- Incisors
