PDL Flashcards
how to tell diff between ppl and cementum fibres
pdl fibres thicker and widely spread
how is pdl inserted into bone
osteoclasts enable remodelling
is pdl mineralised
no
what is pdl
non mineralised connective tissue between AV and cementum
5 cells in pdl
- fibroblasts
- non collagenous proteins
- cementblasts and osteoclasts
- ERM
- macrophages
- osteoclast and odontoblast
location of non collagenous proteins
between principal collagen fibres
2 non collagenous proteins that form ground space
glycoproteins and proteoglycans
fibroblasts role
synthesise and degrade collagen fibres
–fibroblasts have lot of rough end reticulum for transport of proteins
-repsonsible for high rate of protein turnover
how do fibroblasts degrade collagen fibres
-lysosomes fuse with phagosomes containing collagen fibrils
-phago-lysosomes degrade collagen fibrils
why does fibroblasts have a lot of rough end ret
production and exportation of proteins
role of rests of malasezz/ epithelial cell rests
remnants of HERS, have no particular role, may divide to form cysts
-hey may have important functions in the homeostasis of the periodontal ligament and may help to maintain the integrity of the PDL space.
role for macrophage
monocyte deritivative, act as defence system
4 fibres that make up pdl
collagen
oxytalan
elastin
eluanin
what is collagen type 3 called
reticulin fibres
collagen type 1 role
70%
assembles into principal fibres
contains non collagenous proteins
assembles and controls orientation of fibres
principle collagen fibres
fibres group that show diff orientations at Dif regions of ligament
5 variations of principle fibres
- dento-alveolar crest fibres
- horizontal fibres
- oblique fibres
- apical fibres
- interradicular fibres
role of reticulin (Coll type 3) fibres
cross link to aid tissue support
-for rapid turnover
2 fibres that associate with blood vessels
- elastin- walls of blood vessels
- elanuanin- around blood vessels to provide mechanical protection
