primary defense of innate
Neutrophil
predominant in supragingival tooth associated attached plaque
Gm (+) rods cocci
colonizers of tooth in dental plaque formation
Gm (+) facultative
gingival crevice
Gingival sulcus
Supracrestal tissue attachment
Biologic width
thin layer of compact bone that lines the tooth socket & gives attachment to the PDL is the
Alveolar Bone Proper
dimension from the base of the sulcus to the alveolar crest is known as
Supracrestal Tissue Attachment / Biologic width
Primary function of the gingival fibers
To provide rigidity against forces of mastication
Stippling of the gingiva is due to
Projections of the lamina propria into the epithelium
In clinically healthy gingiva the space boujded by the tooth & the free gingiva & having the junctional epithelium as its base
Gingival crevice/ sulcus
Periodontal Pathogens
- Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
- Porphyromonas gingivalis
- Tannerella Forsythia
dislodge heavy supragingval calcular deposits
