Q

Dentin forming cells that are tall columnar cell located at the periphery of the dental pulp
It is derived from ectomesenchymal cells originated by migration of neural crest cells during craniofacial development

12
Q

A layer of hard, bone-like, thin calcified layer of tissue which covers the dentin of the anatomical root.
It is attached to the bone of the jaw with little elastic fibers and is the only tissue considered as both a basic part of the tooth and a component of periodontium.
It is formed during the development of the root and functions as an area of attachment for periodontal ligament fibers

Q

The identifiable line around the external surface of a tooth where the enamel and cementum meet. It separates the anatomical crown and anatomical root.
It is located in the general area of the tooth spoken as the neck or cervix

Q

A

DENTINO-ENAMEL JUNCTION

17
Q

The living soft tissue which occupies the pulp cavity of a vital tooth and contains the nerves and vessels that nourishes the tooth.
It is the most internal structure of a tooth, surrounded by dentin
It can be found in the soft center of the tooth, inside the pulp chamber and root canal

A

PULP

18
Q

A small opening of the apex that is considered as a natural opening found at the tooth’s very tip where artery, vein, and nerve enters the tooth and comingle with the pulp

A

APICAL FORAMEN

19
Q

Supporting tissues of the teeth

A

PERIODONTIUM

20
Q

Components of Periodontium

A

~ALVEOLAR PROCESS
~PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT
~CEMENTUM
~GINGIVA

21
Q

Portion of the maxillae or mandible in which the roots of the teeth are embedded and by which tooth roots are supported

A

ALVEOLAR PROCESS

22
Q

A compact layer of bone on the bone surface

A

OUTER CORTICAL PLATE

23
Q

A thin, dense layer of bone that lines tooth socket

A

LAMINA DURA

24
Q

Less dense, cancellous bone representing the alveolar process

A

SPONGY BONE

25
Q

A thin, fibrous ligament connecting a tooth to the lamina dura of the bony socket.

A

PERIODONTAL LIGAMENTS

26
Q

TRUE OR FALSE:

The fibers of the periodontal ligament acts as a shock absorber to cushion the force of chewing impacts

A

TRUE

27
Q

A specialized mucous membrane that covers the alveolar process encircling the necks of the tooth

A

GINGIVA

28
Q

What ae the functions of gingiva?

A

~AIDS IN THE SUPPORT OF TEETH

~PROTECTS THEALVEOLAR PROCESS AND PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT FROM BACTERIAL INVASION

29
Q

What is the characteristic of a healthy Gingiva?

A

HEALTHY GINGIVA IS PALE PINK, FIRM, AND RESILIENT

30
Q

Types of gingiva

A

~FREE GINGIVA

~ATTACHED GINGIVA

31
Q

The type of gingiva that is free to the extent that it can be displaced.
It is not tightly bound to anything underneath it.
It extends from the gingival crest to the bottom of the gingival sulcus

A

FREE GINGIVA

32
Q

What is the function of free gingiva?

A

HELP PREVENT FOOD FROM PACKING BETWEEN THE TEETH

33
Q

What joins the free gingiva to the tooth surface at the bottom of the sulcus

A

EPITHELIUM ATTACHMENT

34
Q

The portion of the free gingiva that fills the proximal space below the contact area of adjacent teeth

A

INTERDENTAL PAPILLA

35
Q

The gingiva that covers the labial cortical plate of the alveolar process that is firmly fixed under the bone

A

ATTACHED GINGIVA
