periodontium I - cementum and PDL Flashcards
what is the only part of the periodontium that DOES NOT remodel
cementum
T/F all types of cementum contain type I collagen
true
what types of cementum have sharpeys fibers
AEFC and CMFC
what type of cementum DOES NOT have sharpeys fibers
CIFC
what type of cementum has a SLOW rate of deposition
AEFC
what types of cementum have a FAST rate of depostion
CIFC and CMFC
what cementum is found at the cervical 2/3 of root
AEFC
what cementum is found at mid-apical 1/3 root
CIFC
what cementum is found at apical 1/3 of root
CMFC
functions of cementum
-Tooth anchorage via PDL attachment
* Protection of the dentin-pulp complex;
* Adaptation (reshaping of root) due
to occlusal wear
* Repair from damage
what are extrinsic fibers of the PDL
sharpeys fibers
what represent deposition of cementum over time
Incremental lines of Salter (resting/cement lines)
if the Incremental lines of Salter (resting/cement lines) have close lines does that mean there was a slow or fast rate
SLOW
if the Incremental lines of Salter (resting/cement lines) have wide lines does that mean there was a slow or fast rate
FAST
what type of resorption can cementum undergo due to trauma
EXTERNAL root resorption
bc cementum is on EXTERNAL surface
can cementum show reversal lines?
yes!
T/F: cementum cannot repair
FALSE. CIFM and CMFC can!!!!
can cementum remodel
NO! no blood supply
reversal lines seen at exfoliation indicate REPAIR not true
remodeling
function of PDL
Supportive –serves as attachment site; withstands masticatory forces
Maintenance -high degree of turnover due mechanical stress
