Topic 14 (Gingival Crevicular Fluid & Structure & Composition Flashcards
Shallow crevice/ space around the teeth, bounded by the surface of tooth on one side and epithelium lining the free margin of gingiva on the other side
Gingival Sulcus
V-shaped, barely permits the penetration of probe.
Gingival Sulcus
The clinical evaluation used to determine the depth of the sulcus involves the introduction of a metallic instrument, the periodontal probe, and the
estimation of the distance it penetrates.
Gingival Sulcus
It is the V shaped. The depth as determined with histological sections is 1.8mm
Gingival Sulcus
Gingival sulcus is the V shaped. The depth as determined with
histological sections is ____.
1.8mm
The so-called probing depth of a clinically normal ____ is 2-3mm
Gingival Sulcus
The so-called probing depth of a clinically normal gingival sulcus is ____.
2 - 3mm
Sections show presence of 3 types of epithelium.
Gingival Sulcus
Section show presence of 3 types of epithelium, what are those:
- The oral/keratinized epithelium
- The Sulcular Epithelium
- Junctional Epithelium
An epithelium covering the gingival connective tissue in continuation with the sulcular epithelium.
The oral or keratinized Epithelium
An epithelium which is not keratinized. it forms the soft tissue wall of the gingival sulcus and the Junction Epithelium.
The Sulcular Epithelium
It is in continuation with the oral & sulcular epithelium.
Junctional Epithelium
It is formed by few starts of cells, with long flat basal layer and very small desquamating surface that forms of the gingival sulcus.
Junctional Epithelium
Complex mixture of substances.
Gingival Crevicular Fluid
Who confirmed the presence of GCF in humans and considered it to be a ‘transudate’.
Brill (1959)
Brill (1959) confirmed the presence of GCF in humans and considered it to be a ____.
Transudate
However, others demonstrated that GCF is an inflammatory exudate, not a continuous transudate. In strictly normal gingiva, little or no fluid can be collected.
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
Who suggested that the initial fluid is the interstitial fluid which appears in the crevice as a resuit of osmotic gradient.
Alfano (1974) and Pashley (1976)
