Perio Macro and Micro Structures Flashcards
What articles are important when discussing the importance of KG width?
Lang and Loe 1972 (Need >2mm)
Stetler and Bissada 1987 (when sub G resto, >2mm better)
Wennstrom and Lindhe 1983 (when plaque control, doesnt matter)
Cortellini and Bissada 2018 (when plaque control, doesnt matter)
Kennedy and Dorfman 1980 (longitudinal split mouth - >2mm was protective against inflammation)
How much of the population has stippling? What does it mean?
~40% Karring&Loe
if lost, early sign of inflammation
Green 1962
“ONLY LOST if inflammation goes beyond the FGM and in to the attached gingiva” - Orban (said in Green 1962)
How much of the population has a free gingival groove?
~30% - Ainamo and Loe
What is the width of the free gingival groove?
0.5 - 2mm
Bosshardt
Width of attached facial gingiva
Bowers 1963
1-9mm
Most in incisors (Max>Mand)
Least in Canine and 1st premolars
What is the width of lingual gingiva - what happens from primary to permanent teeth?
1-8mm
Decreases (lingual eruption of permanent teeth)
Voight 1978
Most in 1st and 2nd molars
What study said we need 2mm kg?
Lang and Loe 1972
Stetler and Bissada 1987 (SubG Restoration)
What study said we do NOT need 2mm KG?
Wennstrom & Lindhe 1983
Beagle dog study - removed attached gingiva and did FGG in 1/2
Oral hygiene
No difference in inflammation
Cortellini & Bissada 2018
How is phenotype related to KT width and bone morphotype?
Cook et al. 2011 reported Thin biotype associated with 50% thinner buccal plate
as CEJ-Crest increased, KG decreased
What are some protective/risk factors against recession?
Chambrone & Tatakis
Protective: KTW/GT
Risk: Lack of AG
Describe the epithelium of Junctional, Sulcular, and Oral epithelium
Junctional/Sulcular are non-keratinized stratified squamous
Oral is Para-keratinized stratified squamous
How many cell layers in Junctional, Sulcular, and Oral epithelium
Junction and sulcular: 2 - Basale and Suprabasale
Oral: 4 - Basale, Spinosum, Granulosum, Corneum
Where are rete pegs present?
Junctional - only in inflammation
Sulcus - present
Oral - present
How many cells thick are the Junctional, Sulcular, and Oral epithelium?
Junctional: 3-4 at apical, 15-20 coronal
Sulcus: Variable
Oral: 20-40
Cell size of Junctional, Sulcular, and Oral epithelium
Junctional: Largest
Sulcular: Med
Oral: Smallest
Intercellular space of Junctional, Sulcular, and Oral epithelium
Junctional: Widest
Sulcular: narrow
Oral: narrowest
Cell Junctions and permeability of the Junctional, Sulcular, and Oral epithelium
Most abundant in all of them is Desmosomes
Oral epi has the most of them (> Junctional)
Junctional: Gap junctions (allows cell leakage (GCT and innate immunity)) Hemidesmosomes (attachment to enamel and basement membrane - RAPID TURNOVER
Sulcular: Desmosomes
Oral: Tight Junctions, Hemidesmosomes to basement membranes
What is the clinical significance of Junctional, Sulcular, and Oral epithelium
Junctional: Barrier (attached to tooth) - Access of GCF and innate immune cells
Sulcular: more susceptible to breakdown - non-keratinized
Oral: mechanical/bacterial barrier
Gargiulo 1961
Sulcus: 0.69mm
JE: 0.97mm (most variable)
CT: 1.07mm (most constant)
What kinds of keratinization is there and what is the difference? Where are they present?
Ortho-Keratinized (no nuclei)
Pera-Keratinized (nuclei remnants)
Corneal layer has a range of these
What is the cellular makeup of the oral epithelium?
90% Keratinocytes
10% non-keratinocytes (clear cells)
