Principal fiber groups ***
transseptal
alveolar crest
horizontal
oblique
apical
interradicular
transseptal— trans=across. septal= bony septum
transseptal connect
tooth to tooth.
they extend interproximally over the alveolar crest, embedded in the cementum of two adjacent teeth
transseptal fibers are adjusted during*****
orthodontic treatment (get moved/stretched during ortho)
alveolar crest fibers
located apically to the junctional epithelium and extend obliquely to the cementum to the alveolar crest
horizontal group
extend at right angles to long axis of tooth
(horizontally
oblique
extend from cementum in a coronal direction to the bone
which fiber withstands the masticatory stress in a vertical direction***
oblique
***what is the largest and most significant fiber group
oblique
apical
extend from cementum at root apex to the base of socket
interradicular: inter=between. radicular= root
in between the root
interradicular
found between root
found only in multirooted teeth.
extend from cementum at furcation to bone in furcation area
**interradicular tooth is only present in which teeth
multirooted teeth
sulcular fluid aka
crevicular fluid ,gingival crevicular fluid
definition: sulcular fluid (crevicular fluid ,gingival crevicular fluid)
a serum-like fluid that passes from the connective tissue (lamina propria) and flows into the gingival crevice
sulcular fluid (crevicular fluid ,gingival crevicular fluid) contains what elements
calcium, sodium, phosphorus, along with cells and bacteria
how much sulcular fluid (crevicular fluid ,gingival crevicular fluid) do you have in health vs inflammation
flow is minimal to absent in health
increases due to inflammation from plaque accumulation
sulcular fluid (crevicular fluid ,gingival crevicular fluid) presence of fluid depends on
the rate of passage is dependent on the absence or presence of inflammation in the connective tissue
purpose of sulcular fluid (crevicular fluid ,gingival crevicular fluid)
cleanses the sulcus
how can sulcular fluid (crevicular fluid ,gingival crevicular fluid) be destructive
can provide a source of nutrients for subgingival bacteria & supports subgingival calculus formation

some antibiotics are concentrated in this fluid.
ex: tetracycline

are there periodontal pockets in gingivitis?
NO PERIODONTAL POCKETS *
dental plaque-induced gingivitis Is associated with only
PLAQUE ONLY
dental plaque-induced gingivitis is modified by
systemic factors, nutrition, endocrine disorders, blood dyscrasias, drug-induced enlargements
for non-dental plaque-induced gingivitis will debridement help
debridement will not help because the gingivitis is not related to the plaque
non-dental plaque-induced gingivitis can be caused by
viral, fungal, bacterial, or genetic in origin
it is a gingival manifestation of systemic conditions
foreign body reactions
gingivitis results from the*** important questions
ulceration of the sulcular lining/base of the sulcus
if you have a patient with non-dental plaque-induced gingivitis you would***
refer the patient to a primary case physician to evaluate the etiology of disease
gingival inflammation can also be caused by
open contacts and subgingival margins of restorations
example- patient complaint of fraying of floss

what is encouraged for necrotizing periodontal disease
antiobiotic therapy is encouraged
what is the drug of choice for necrotizing periodontal disease? and why****
the drug of choice is tetracycline because it is released in GCF
- it has anti-collagenase properties (antibiotic stops the enzyme)
tetracycline is intrinsic or extrinsic
