Periodontal Health, Gingival Disease:Conditions Flashcards
(107 cards)
Periodontal Health
Absence of clinically
detectable inflammation A state free from inflammatory periodontal disease
Periodontal Health
“A state free from inflammatory
periodontal disease that allows an
individual to function normally and
avoid consequences (mental and
physical) due to current or past
disease.”
Impact
(5)
Cardiovascular diesases
Respiratory disease
Diabetes
Pregnancy complications
Others: Dementia, Cancers
Importance
To find the common —
for assessing disease and determining
the meaningful treatment outcomes.

- Gingiva
- PDL
- Cementum
- Alveolar process
Macroscopic (clinical features)

- Marginal Gingiva
- Gingival Sulcus
- Attached Gingiva
- Interdental Gingiva
Microscopic
(2)
- Gingival Epithelium
- Gingival Connective Tissue
Oral epithelium
*Keratinized, turnover rate 30
days
Sulcular epithelium
*Non-keratinized, no rete pegs,
semipermeable membrane
Junctional epithelium
*Non-keratinized, attached via
hemidesmosomes, infiltrate by
PMN, turnover rate 7-10 days
Microscopic
* Gingival Connective Tissue
(2)
Connective tissue presents a
diffuse, amorphous ground
substance and collagen fibers.
Blood vessels stand out clearly in
the papillary projections of the
connective tissue.

Color:
(3)
- Coral pink on marginal/attached gingiva
- Red smooth shiny on alveolar mucosa
- physiologic pigmentation
Size:
Should corresponds
with the sum total of the bulk
of cellular and intercellular
elements and vascular
supply
Consistency:
Firm and
resilient (gingival fibers)
Surface texture:
Stippled on
the attached gingiva
Contour:
Scalloped and collar-like fashion
Shape:
Pyramidal towards the anterior,
flattened towards the posterior
Position:
the level at which the gingival margin
is attached to the tooth
Continuous tooth eruption-
active and passive
eruption- altered passive eruption
