Perio Flashcards
4 components of periodontium
Gingiva, PDL, Cementum, Alveolar bone
Oral mucosa is what kind of epithelium
Stratified squamous (most keratinized/parakerantinzied)
What oral tissue is not keratinized
Sulcular and junctional
What is the primary cell of the stratified squamous epithelium
keratinocyte
What are rete pegs
extension of the gingival epithelium that integrate into the CT “dermal papilla”
4 functions of cervical fluid
cleanse, adhesion via plasma proteins, antimicrobial properties, antibody activity
What is the lamina propria
- Connective tissue
- Papillary layer – dermal papilla
- reticular layer – continuous with periosteum
- Cellular - fibroblasts, collagen, glycoproteins, macrophages, neutrophils, etc
- extracellular - ground substance (proteoglycan, glycoproteins, water), type 1 collagen
Rests of Serres
Remnant of dental lamina in gingiva
Predominant cells in PDL
Fibroblasts
What anchors cementum to the alveolar bone
Sharpeys fibers (type 1 collagen)
What are the 6 types of periodontal fibers and what is the most abundant
Transeptal, alveolar, horizontal, oblique, apical, interradicular
Mosts abundant = oblique
What are the three types of cells of PDL
PDL comes from the dnetal sac or follicle
Cells - fibroblast, cementoblasts, osteoblasts
What are the epithelial rests of malassez
Remnants of hertwig root sheath (forms the outer and inner enamel epithelium)
What is the main type of CT in cementum
Collagen 1
Where is the thickest and thinnest parts of cementum
thickest - apically
Thinnest - coronally
What are the 2 main types of cementum
Acellular - primary – cervical root
Cellular - secondary - apical root
What is the most common type of CEJ morphology in the dog and cat
Dog - type 3
Cat - type 4
Where is rankl present on
Where is OPG present on
Osteoblast
What is Rank present on
Osteoclast
What is biological width
2mm
Is the soft tissue attachment – junctional epithelium and connective tissue
How long does it take for plaque biofilm and calculus to form
Plaque - 24 hr
Calc - 48-72 hr
What type of bacteria is found in early and late biofilm
early - g+ aerobic
late - g- anaerobic
