Perio final

Question 1

Tissues of the periodontium

Answer 1

Gingiva, Cementum, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone

Question 2

Gingiva

Answer 2

Tissue that covers the cervical portions of the teeth and the alveolar processes of the jaws

Question 3

periodontal ligament

Answer 3

Fibers that surround the root of the tooth. One side attaches to bone and the other side attaches to cementum. Soft connective tissue that covers the root of a tooth. Dense fibrous connective tissue

Question 4

Cementum

Answer 4

Thin layer of mineralized tissue that covers the root of the tooth

Question 5

Alveolar bone

Answer 5

Bone that surrounds the roots of teeth. It forms the bony socket that supports and protects the root of the teeth

Question 6

Where is the gingival margin located

Answer 6

Coronal to the CEJ of each tooth and attaches to the tooth by junctional epithelium

Question 7

Four anatomical areas that the gingiva is divided into

Answer 7

Free gingiva, ginigival sulcus, interdental gingiva, attached gingiva

Question 8

Free gingival groove

Answer 8

Shallow linear depression that separates the free and attached gingiva. Rarely visible

Question 9

Mucogingival junction

Answer 9

Clinically visible boundary where the pink attached gingiva meets the red, shiny alveolar mucosa

Question 10

Attached gingiva

Answer 10

Continuous with free gingiva; widest at in the incisor and molar region. Keratinized tightly connected to the cementum and alveolar bone. Allows gingival tissue to withstand mechanical forces. Dimpled or stippled

Question 11

5 functions of the PDL

Answer 11

Support, sensory,Nutrition, Formative, Remodeling

Question 12

What characteristic of cementum makes it possible for teeth to be moved during ortho treatment

Answer 12

Resistance to resorption

Question 13

Acellular cementum

Answer 13

Forms before teeth are in occlusion

Question 14

Cellular cementum

Answer 14

Forms after the teeth have reached occlusion

Question 15

Where does cementum receive its nutrients from

Answer 15

PDL

Question 16

sharpey fibers

Answer 16

Ends of the periodontal ligament fibers that are embedded in the cementum and alveolar bone

Question 17

What can happen if teeth do not erupt

Answer 17

The alveolar bone does not develop

Question 18

What type of epithelium makes up the oral cavity

Answer 18

Stratified squamous epithelium; functions well in a wet environment

Question 19

Fibroblasts

Answer 19

Cells that form Extracellular matrix and secrete into the intercellular spaces

Question 20

Macrophages and neutrophils

Answer 20

“Cell eaters” devour dying cells and microorganisms that invade the body

Question 21

Lymphocytes

Answer 21

Cells that play a major role in the immune response

Question 22

Specialized forms of connective tissue

Answer 22

Cementum, dentin, alveolar bone, pulp

Question 23

Free gingiva

Answer 23

Unattached portion of the gingiva that surrounds the tooth

Question 24

Gingival sulcus

Answer 24

Space between the free gingiva and the tooth surface

Question 25

What is the base of the sulcus formed by

Answer 25

Junctional epithelium

Question 26

Histology

Answer 26

Study of microscopic features of tissues

Question 27

Oral epithelium

Answer 27

Face oral cavity

Question 28

Sulcular epithelium

Answer 28

Faces he tooth surface without being in contact with the tooth surface; lines the sulcus

Question 29

Junctional epithelium

Answer 29

Attaches the gingiva to the tooth

Question 30

4 layer of the OE stratified squamous epithelium

Answer 30

(Deepest to superficial) -basal cell -prickle cell -granular cell -keratinized cell

Question 31

3 layer of the SE

Answer 31

-basal cell -prickle cell -superficial cell Nonkeratinized because there is no keratinized layer

Question 32

2 layers of junctional epithelium

Answer 32

-basal cell -prickle cell Nonkeratinized

Question 33

Periodontal disease

Answer 33

Bacterial infection of the periodontium

Question 34

How soon can gingivitis be observed

Answer 34

4- 14 days after plaque biofilm accumulation in the gingival sulcus

Question 35

Acute gingivitis

Answer 35

Lasts a short period of time, appears swollen, fluid in the gingival Connective tissue

Question 36

Chronic gingivitis

Answer 36

Lasts for months or years

Question 37

Gingival pocket

Answer 37

Deepening of the gingival sulcus as a result of swelling or enlargement of the gingival tissue

Question 38

Pseudo pockets

Answer 38

Have no apical migration of the junctional epithelium

Question 39

Junctional epithelium in gingivitis

Answer 39

Detaches from the tooth resulting in a slight increased probing depth

Question 40

Gingival health the junctional epithelium

Answer 40

Attaches to the enamel of the tooth crown

Question 41

In periodontitis the Junctional epithelium attaches

Answer 41

To the cementum of the toot root

Question 42

Most common type of periodontal disease

Answer 42

Plaque induced gingivitis

Question 43

Systemic conditions for plaque induced gingival disease

Answer 43

Gender, hormones, pregnancy, hyperglycemia, leukemia, smoking, malnutrition

Question 44

What is the #1 tooth loss in adults

Answer 44

Bacterial infection
