Perio Final Review Flashcards
The presence or absence of the interdental col is dependent on what?
The contact point
Will there still be an interdental col if there is no contact point?
No
Does free gingiva have keratin?
Yes
Does attached gingiva have keratin?
Yes
Does the interdental papilla have keratin?
Yes
Does the alveolar mucosa have keratin?
No
What type of mucosa is on the dosrum of the tongue?
Specialized
The PDL is made of what type of fibers, and what is it not made of?
It is made of collagen fibers, and not elastic fibers
What is the width of the PDL?
0.25 mm
What are PDL fibers shaped like? And what are they not?
They are wavy, not straight
T/F Oblique fibers of the pPDL are inserted in the alveolar bone at a more apical level than in the cementum
False-the oblique fibers are more apical at the cementum than the alveolar bone
Where are Sharpey’s fibers found?
They are part of collagen fibers found in bone/cementum
What is the bundle bone?
The part of the alveolar process where Sharpey’s fibers are present
What is an example where pink gingiva does not mean healthy gums?
Fibrosis
Why is the alveolar mucosa redder than gingiva?
There is keratin in the gingiva
Does cementum have blood vessels and nerves? Doe the alveolar bone have blood vessels and nerves?
No to cementum, yes to alveolar bone

What is the secondary etiology of perio disease?
Calculus, host response, smoking, etc.
All calculus is lined what what?
Plaque
Plaque hardens into what?
Calculus
What is the most common way that the cementum and enamel can articulate?
The cementum overlaps the enamel
What is the pathway of inflammation?
gingiva->PDL->bone
What three types of bacteria are not found in a perio lesion?
