periodontium Flashcards
gomphosis
- cementum
- PDL
- alveolar bone
- gingiva
enamel organ is derived from
oral ectoderm
after mineralization, ameloblasts
shrink from columnar to cuboidal cells
-become part of the “reduced enamel epithelium”
what eventually surrounds the enamel
reduced enamel epithelium
2 cell types of REE
- reduced ameloblasts (cannot divide)
2. external cells (can divide)
external cells of REE eventually give rise to
junctional epithelium
proliferation steps
- proliferative cells (basal, adjacent to gingiva ct) migrate up
- ameloblasts displaced and eventually all are exfoliated
- JE replaces REE, from coronal end downwards
3 parts of gingival epithelium
- oral epithelium
- sulcular epithelium
- junctional
oral epi
-Keratinized or para keratinized
sulcular epi
NON-keratinized
-permeable => allow flow of GCF
junctional epi
- base of sulcus
- joins gingiva to tooth
- 0.71-1.35mm
- 15 - 30 cells thick (coronal
- 4-5 cells thick (apical)
- NON-keratinized
cells attach to tooth surface (enamel) by
hemi desmosomes
in disease state, the gingival fibers
migrate down as the bone gets destroyed
can grow a new attachment after a disease
long junctional epi
*only on root surface below CEJ
muco-gingival junction
marks the change from NK to K
-between alveolar mucosa (NK) and attached gingiva (K)
biologic width
distance between level of bone and CEJ
biologic width
JE + connective tissue attachment
5 types of gingival fibers
1) dentogingival
2) alveologingival
3) circular
4) dentoperiosteal
5) transeptal
