Reading 1/30 Cementum-Alveolar Bone Flashcards
What makes up the periodontium?
Gingiva, root cementum, alveolar bone, PDL
2 parts to the gingiva:
gingival epi, gingival CT
This house the root:
alveolar bone
This cover the root:
cementum
Major component of root formation:
dentin
This allows for the laying down of dentin:
differentiation of odontoblasts
Cementum is the __ and __ of cementoblasts
origin and differentiation
2 parts of alveolar bone:
alveolar bone proper, supporting bone
What forms the Hertwig’s root sheath (HRS)?
IEE and OEE, after crown completion
Movement of crown w inc root length:
away from crypts
What is HRS?
bilayer
TF? Root lengthens at same rate tooth moves occlusally.
T
What surround the OEE?
ental folicle
These cells differentiate into odontoblast:
dental papilla cells in contact with IEE
Root development depends on what type of interaction?
epi-mesenchymal interaction
This leads to the production of HRS cells:
proliferation and downgrowth of IEE and OEE cells
These cell lay adjacent to the HRS cells during the downgrowth:
dental papilla cells
What lay above the DP cells during the downgrowth of the HRS cells?
differentiating odontolbasts
IEE cells of the HRS do this after crown formation is completed:
induce differentiation of Dp cells into preodontoblasts and odontoblasts, odontoblasts from root dentin bw crown dentin and HRS
FLow chart of differentiation starting at proliferation zone:
IEE(HRS), Dp cells, preodontoblasts, odontoblasts, root dentin, dentin
What happens as dentin formation continues:
root elongates, HRS becomes separated from crwn located at the apical end
At which end is the HRS located during root formation?
apical end
What happens after completion of root formation
HRS disappears, remnants form epi rest in PDL
Where do epi rests remain?
in the PDL
Cementum is what type of tissue:
thin, mineralized
Cementum covers:
root dentin surface
is cementum vascular or avascular?
avascular
Function of cementum:
anchors PDL collagen fibers to root
3 types of cementum:
intermediate, Acellular, cellular
Location of acellular cementum:
cervical 2/3
Location of cellular cementum:
apice 1/3
primary cementum:
acellular
2’ cementum:
cellular
TF? Cementum contains more mineral that bone and dentin.
F. less than
Cementum is histologically similar to:
bone
What makes cementum similar to bone?
lacunae, incremental deposition line
