Gingival fiber grp aka
Supracrestal connective tissue fiber
Fiber that encircles the tooth resist rotational forces
Impt for ortho
Circular fiber
Mainly resist lateral movts
Alveolar crest grp
Resist lat movts and vertical movts
Horizontal fiber grps
Most numerous
Most resistant to forces along long axis of tooth
Oblique fiber group
Primary fibers that resist tooth towards occlusal direction
Prevent extrusive movts
Apical fiber group
Found in multirooted teeth
Interradicular fiber group
Periodontal fibers embedded in cementum and bone are called
Sharpeys fibers
Most numerous cells found in PD ligament
Fibroblast
Free gingiva or marginal gingiva is measured from (2)
Free gingival crest to free gingival groove
Most coronal portion of gingiva
Gingival margin
Line bet marginal gingiva and attached gingiva
Free gingival groove
Measured from free gingival groove to the mucogingival junction
STIPPLING ARE FOUND HERE
Attached gingiva
Where gingival crevicular fluid found
Gingival sulcus
Gingival sulcus is bounded (2)
Sulcular epith - laterally
JE - apically
Shape of interdental or interprox gingiva
Pyramidal
A line bet attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa
Mucogingival junction
Loosely attached mucosa covering the base of the alveolar process continuing towards the vestibule and floor of mouth
Alveolar mucosa
Probing force
