Quiz 4 Fundamentals of the Periodontium Flashcards
Oral Mucosa
Masticatory Mucosa
Lining Mucosa
Specialized Mucosa
Masticatory Mucosa
affected by eating, keratinized, attached gingiva
ex: roof of mouth
Lining Mucosa
Labial/Buccal mucosa, tissue under tongue
Non-keratinized
Specialized Mucosa
Dorsum of the tongue
Papilla/taste buds b/c differential they’re specialized
What is Black hairy tongue?
Enlarged Filiform papillae
Fibrosis
Chronic inflammation
Pertains to smokers
Hyperkeratosis and Hyperplasis
Increase in cells
Keritinization
Cheek chewer
Components of the Periodontium
Periodontial Ligament
Gingiva (attached)
Cementum
Bone
Gingiva (Attached gingiva)
Gingival Fiber Groups
Principal Fiber Groups
*Stabilize teeth
Cementum
Thin layer calcified connective tissue, provides attachment for cover CEJ to apical foramen
No nerves/vascularity
Bone
Provides supporting system
Will absorb when we take away job
Parts of the tooth
Clincial: goes to sulcus
anatomic: anything initially covered w/ cementum
Functions of the PDL
Fibrous Connective tissue Provides support and attachment for tooth Surrounds root Shock absorber Provides blood and nerve supply In B/w tooth and sulcus
Sharpey’s Fibers
Provide attachment b/w tooth and bone
What happens if there is no cementum?
No attachment
PDL and Gingival Fiber groups
Dentogingival (stability)
Alveologingival (Support to papillae)
Circumferentail (tightly bound, make sure tooth won’t fall)
Dentoperiosteal
Transseptal (Go from tooth to tooth, keep from tipping/falling over)
PDL and Principal Fiber Groups
Apical (@ apex, helps w/ forces coming in)
Oblique (Biting wrong and vertical forces)
Horizontal (stabilize for tipping)
Alveolar Crest ( work w/ gingival fibers. Gate keeper/protects bone)
Interradicular (Helps w/ stability)
Functions of the cementum
Thin layer of calcified connective tissue that covers root of tooth
Provides attachment for perio fiber groups
Not vascular/no nerves
Seals the dentin tubules
Functions of the bone
Support teeth and provide attachment for the PDL fibers
What is free gingiva?
Gingival margin, follows line of tooth
Keratinized where probe goes in sulcus
What is alveolar mucosa?
Covers bone, not attached
Soft and shiny
non-keratinized
usually redder
What is attached gingiva?
Attached to underlying bone, varies in width
Max=more
Mand=less
Healthy characteristics for Gingiva/Papilla
Pink, Melanotic
Flat, Firm, Smooth
Stippled, Pointed
Healthy characteristics of marginal gingiva
Pink Melanotic
Flat, Firm, Smooth
Healthy characteristics of attached gingiva
Pink, melanotic
Flat, Firm, Smooth
Stippled, Shiny
