Periodontal Health- Gingival Disease/Conditions Flashcards
In looking at the gingiva, its either:
in health or disease
Periodontal Health- What is the importance?
to find the common reference point for assessing disease and determining the meaningful treatment outcomes
The portion of the gingival surrounding the neck of the tooth:
marginal/free gingiva
Describe the attachment of marginal/free gingiva:
not directly attached to the tooth
Marginal/free gingiva forms the:
soft tissue wall of the gingival sulcus
Marginal/free gingiva extends from the:
gingival margin to the gingival (marginal) groove
The space bounded by the tooth and the free gingiva:
Gingival sulcus
The gingival sulcus has ___ at its base
junctional epithelium
The gingival sulcus is comprised of _____ epithelium
non-keratinized
No _____ are present within the gingival sulcus
rete pegs
The gingival sulcus is considered a ____ membrane
semi-permeable
Portion of the gingival that extends apically from the area of the free gingival groove to the mucogingival junction:
attached gingiva
The attached gingiva is normally covered by:
keratinized epithelium with rete ridges
There is no ____ present within the attached gingiva
submucosa
The attached gingiva is bound to the:
underlying tooth and bone
Portion of the gingiva that extends between the teeth:
interdental gingiva
Includes the Col area which is composed of a non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium in the interproximal space
Interdental gingiva
Describe the gingival col
area composed of non-stratified squamous epithelium in the interproximal space
What is the cellular makeup of the gingival col?
non-stratified squamous epithelium
The gingival col is found in what area of gingiva?
interdental gingiva
Microscopic features of the anatomy of the periodontal includes: (3)
- oral epithelium
- sucular epithelium
- junctional epithelium
The oral epithelium is comprised of:
keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Describe the turnover rate of the oral epithelium:
turnover rate of 30 days
The sulcular epithelium is comprised of:
non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Rete pegs are present in the sulcular epithelium. The sulcular epithelium is considered a semi-permeable membrane.
first statement false; second statement true
The junctional epithelium is comprised of:
non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
The junctional epithelium is attached to the tooth with:
hemidesmosomes
The junctional epithelium can be infiltrated by:
PMNs
Describe the rate of turnover for the junctional epithelium:
high rate of turnover (7-10 days)
- keratinized epithelium
- rete pegs present
- resistance to forces from mastication
Oral epithelium
- non-keratinized epithelium
- no rete pegs present
- semi-permeable membrane
sulcular epithelium
- non-keratinized epithelium
- hemi-desmosomal and non-collagenous proteins attachment
- attachment on the tooth is normally at or near the CEJ
- can be infiltrated by PMNs
Junctional epithelium
- diffuse amorphous ground substance
- collagen fibers
- blood vessels in the papillary projections of the connective tissue
gingival connective tissue
_____ form the connective tissue attachment of the junctional epithelium
densely packed collagen fibers
