perio anatomy Flashcards
parts of the periodontium
gingiva, cementum, pdl, alveolar bone
3 parts of gingiva
free gingiva, attached gingiva, interdental papilla
where is the FGM located?
2 mm coronal to CEJ
what is also associated with the FGG
CEJ
histology of the gingival sulcus
nnon keratinized mucosa, no CT, not attached to periosteum
boundaries of attatched gingiva
FGG to MGJ
more than Xmm is considered a pocket
2
t/f. there is a MGJ on both the F and L side of the maxillary dentition
f. there is only attached gingiva on the hard palate (L)
describe the size of attached gingiva max buccal
widest in incisors, narrowest in premolars
describe the size of attached gingiva max ling
all attached, cant measure
describe the size of the attached gingiva mand ling
narrowest in incisors, widest in molars
how do you measure the width of attached gingiva
apical to coronal
t/f. premorals and canines have the least amount of buccal attached gingiva
true.
free and attached gingiva are keratinized or non keratinized?
keratinized
3 zones of oral mucosa
masticatory, specialized, oral mucous membrane
masticatory mucosa
tissue of hard palate and gingiva (covers alveolar process)
specialized mucosa
covers dorsum of the tongue
oral mucous membrane
covers the remainder of the oral cavity (not masticatory or specialized)
recession
when the FGM is apical to the CEJ
t/f. narrow gingiva has less resistance to attachment loss than wider gingiva without inflammation
false. narrow and wide gingiva have the same resistance to attachment loss without inflammation; therefor the amount of inflammation is more important than the amount of recession
people with a thin phenotype have to be careful because (4 things)
increased recession, more vulnerable to trauma, more inflammation, less favorable Tx outcome
connective tissue graft
make a flap on the hard palate and take a wedge of gingiva with ct and place it in the site of recession
free gingival graft
take entire epithelium (maybe periosteum), then place it where you need it
which is more aesthetic, free gingival graft or ct graft
ct graft
what is the col
concavity in the interdental papilla of the contact areas of the premolar/molar region of interdental papilla
