Perio Anatomy Flashcards
Cells that form the periodontium originate from the ________ ______.
Neural crest
T/F: Periodontal structures rely on epithelial interactions for formation.
TRUE
Why don’t you bleed during tooth eruption?
No blood supply to epithelium
What part of the tooth germ forms the periodontium?
Dental follicle
Describe the formation of cementum.
Hertwig’s root sheath is between follicle and dentin -> root sheath gets holes in it (fenestrates) -> amelogenin induces differentiation of follicle to cementoblasts -> cementoid forms and intermingles with dentinal fibers
What types of cells form the PDL?
Fibroblasts from dental follicle
What cells form the alveolar bone?
Osteoblasts from dental follicle ectomesenchymal cells
What cells remain in the periodontium as stem cells?
Ectomesenchymal cells
What are the three parts of the gingiva?
- Free gingiva
- Attached gingiva
- Interdental papilla
T/F: Free gingiva is made of keratinized epithelium.
TRUE
What is the free gingival groove?
Junction between free and attached gingiva (typically at CEJ)
T/F: A visible free gingival groove is a sign of disease.
FALSE
T/F: Sulcular epithelium can be regenerated from oral epithelium.
TRUE
The _______ ________ provides the first contact between gingiva and the tooth.
Junctional epithelium (epithelial cuff)
T/F: The width of attached gingiva increases with age.
TRUE
The width of attached gingiva is widest in ________ and narrowest in _________. (Except in mandibular lingual)
Incisors; premolars
When can stippling indicate disease?
If stippling was observed and is later not seen
Where is there not a mucogingival junction?
Palate!!
It is all keratinized tissue
What is the biggest negative of an implant over natural tooth?
No PDL
Neural crest cells form _____________ beneath stomadeal epithelium to eventually form the periodontium.
Ectomesenchyme
Interactions between which two tissue types are key in perio development?
Epithelial-ectomesechyme interactions
The dental papilla gives rise to the __________, while the dental follicle gives rise to the __________.
Dentin and pulp; periodontium
____________ induces differentiation of ectomesenchymal cells at the root surface to cementoblasts.
Amelogenin
The free gingiva extends from the ___________ to the __________.
Free gingival margin; free gingival groove
In a normal patient, the free gingival margin is locate _____ mm coronal to the CEJ.
1.5-2 mm
T/F: The free gingival groove is visible in most patients.
FALSE
What provides the attachment between the gingiva and the tooth?
Junctional epithelium
