Q

Efficacy of B cell response

Avidity:

A

Ag-binding differs among antibody subclasses. Not all are capable of effective opsonization or complement activation.

29

A

serum and GCF.

35
Q

A

Ab response to bacteria in the subgingival biofilm may indicate a patient’s susceptibility to the disease and ability to respond to treatment.

36
Q

A

epithelial-ectomesenchymal interactions.

39
Q

Forms dental follicle (DF)

Gives rise to

A

periodontium

Dental papilla determines shape and form of tooth

40
Q

Embryogenesis

A

Crown forms first
Outer and inner enamel epithelium proliferate apically
Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath(RS)
Odontoblasts (OB) form dentin
Inner cells of RS secrete enamel-related proteins (amelogenins)
RS fenestrates
Ectomesenchymal cells of follicle contact root surface
Amelogenin induces differentiation of these cells into cementoblast (**remember this for later)
Cementoid forms
Fibers of cementoid intermingle with immature dentinal fibres

width of approximal tooth surfaces
course of CEJ

45
Q

Col – central zone that curves down. Turns over VERY quickly.

A

Concavity seen in contact areas of premolar / molar region
Non-keratinized epithelium (similar to junctional epithelium), will stay this way as long as two teeth are in contact (protected from friction).

46
Q
