Periodontium Flashcards
_________ is the tissues that invest and support the tooth
Periodontium
Alveolar process, cementum, and PDL are all derived from the _________ which originates from _______
dental follicle/sac
Neural crest
what are the 3 parts of periodontium?
- Alveolar process
- Cementum
- Periodontal ligament
_________________ is the Part of the maxilla that is attachment for PDL fiber
Alveolar Process (Alveolar Bone)
what is alveolar bone made up of? Is periosteum present?
Primarily woven bone, lamellar bone is also present
NO
what are the inorganic/organic components of alveolar bone?
Inorganic: HAp
Organic: type I collagen
what are the different things that make up alveolar bone? (3)
- Alveolar bone proper
- Cortical plate
- Central spongiosa
what are three interchangeable names for alveolar bone proper? how do they differ?
- Cribriform plate: because of the presence of volkmann’s canal foramina
- Lamina dura: radiographic term, shown in radiograph as a line with increased radiopacity
- Bundle bone: histological term, sharpey’s fiber embedded in bone
The _____________ is a layer of compact bone that overlies the spongiosa of the alveolar process on the mandible and maxilla. what can this be broken down into?
cortical plate
Inner (lingual surface) and Outer (labial surface)
___________ is the junction of cortical plate and alveolar bone proper
Alveolar Crest
what covers the cortical plate?
periosteum
_____________ is the trabecular/spongy bone in-between inner and outer cortical plates
Central spongiosa
what does central spongiosa consist of?
trabecular bone and marrow
where is central spongiosa not seen in the mouth?
anterior region of both jaws
Marrow is _____ in young people, _________ in older people
red, yellow
________ bone supports alveolar bone proper and cortical plate
Trabecular (spongy/cancellous)
what are the 2 kinds of boney septa?
- Interradicular septum: bony septum between roots of a single tooth
- Interalveolar septum: bony septum between adjacent teeth
_________ is mineralized CT covering root dentin that provides the attachment for PDL fiber. What is its function?
Cementum
-function: Protects dentin from stimuli and prevents pain, Compensates for occlusal wear
how does cementum develop?
HERS (hertwig’s epithelial root sheath) grows downward at 45* angle → HERS induces DS cells to become cementoblasts → cementoblasts secrete cementum matrix → this becomes mineralized and becomes cementum
what are the organic/inorganic components of cementum?
Inorganic: HAp
Organic: type I collagen
what are the different patterns of the CEJ we need to know?
60% overlap, 30% meet, 10% gap
________ form cementum and they are located on the surface. what happens to them later?
Cementoblasts
- later they are embedded in the matrix and become cementocytes
what are the different fiber types in cementum?
- Extrinsic Fibers: produced by fibroblasts of PDL
- Intrinsic fibers: produced by cementoblasts
what are the 2 ways cementum can be classified?
- Acellular Extrinsic Fiber Cementum (AEFC)/ Acellular/ Primary cementum
- Cellular Intrinsic Fiber cementum (CIFC)/ Celluilar/ Secondary
what are some characteristics of AEFC? where can it be found?
AEFC has no cementocytes
Covers coronal 2/3 of root
The majority of fibers in AEFC are _________ and play a large role in _______
extrinsic
tooth attachment
where is CIFC located? what type of fibers are CIFC?
-covers apical 1/3 of root and interradicular area
-Majority of fibers are intrinsic and play a minor role in tooth attachment (fibers run up and down)
are CIFC found in anterior teeth?
no! usually absent
