week 2 Flashcards
healthy gingiva
color:
contour:
consistency:
texture:
pale pink/salmon pink/coral pink
knife edged, scallop
firm
stippling
should gums bleed when you brush or floss?
no
macro-anatomy parts of the gingiva
marginal gingiva
attached gingiva
interdental papilla
what is the marginal gingiva in between?
the gingival sulcus ad marginal groove
what is the attached gingiva between?
the marginal groove and mucogingival junction
width of the attached gingiva
facial: greatest in the ______ region, narrower in the _______ region
linguals of mandible: greatest in _______; narrowest in the _______
incisor, posterior
molars, incisors
when will width of inadequate attached gingiva in childhood correct itself?
6-12 yrs
interdental papilla shape
anterior:
posterior:
pyramidal
col shaped
periodontal ligament space shape
shape depends on:
hour glass
- widest at apex and cervix, narrowest in middle
age and tooth function
if there is trauma to the tooth/periodontum, what happens to the PDL?
it can widen/change shape
PDL physical function
resistance to impact of occlusal force
transmission of occlusal force to bone
PDL formative and remodeling function
formation and resorption of bone and cementum
PDL nutritional function
via blood vessels; lymphatic drainage
PDL sensory function
transmitting tactile, pressure and pain
4 main functions of PDL
physical function
formative and remodeling function
nutritional function
sensory function
why is PDL important in implants?
the PDL is missing around implants
–>
what does the cementum cover?
the root surface
where do the fibers of the PDL attach?
to the cementum (Sharpey’s fiber)
is the cementum distinguishable on an X ray?
no
cementum is thickest at _______ and thinnest at ______
Apex
CEJ
what does the cementum do as a person ages?
thickens
What is Sharpey’s fiber?
Where the PDL attaches to cementum
what does the alveolar bone do?
Housing for the roots of the teeth
the alveolar process is part of the ______ and _________
maxilla
mandible
the morphology of the alveolar bone is ______ dependent
tooth
the shape of the alveoli (socket) follows the?
root
alveolar bone structure: 3 parts (inner to outer)
1) alveolar bone proper (lamina dura): cribriform plate
2) trabecular bone
3) compact bone
trabecular bone supports the:
alveolar bone proper
compact bone formed by:
haversian bone and bone lamellae
dehiscence vs fenestration
dehiscence:
- no bone from top to bottom
- will find deep pockets
- no bone –> gingival recession
fenestration:
- isolated bone loos, still see some bone on cervical
- more genetic
- won’t effect clinical outcome as much
- don’t usually find deep probing depth
where does the vascular supply come from for the maxilla? (4)
Anterior superior alveolar artery (incisors, canines)
posterior superior alveolar artery (premolar, molar)
infraorbital artery
greater palatine artery
where does the vascular supply come from for the mandible?
inferior alveolar artery and branches
vascular supply of the periodontum comes from what main artery?
maxillary artery
what is the pathway of blood supply to the periodontum once it reaches the alveolar artery?
alveolar artery –> dental artery –> intraseptal artery –> PDL vessels and supraperiosteal vessels
what lymph node is correlated with the lower incisors?
submental LN
what lymph node is correlated with the 3rd molars?
Jugulodigastric LN
what lymph node is correlated with the palatal gingiva?
the deep cervical LN
what does the trigeminal nerve sense?
pressure, touch, temperature, pain
proprioception from PDL
- tooth position, movement
- thickness between teeth in occlusion
what are the main cells in the gingival epithelium?
Keratinocytes
what do keratinocytes do?
produce tonofilaments
soft tissue renewal
majority of gingival epithelium is?
stratified squamous epithelium
what are the non-keratinocytes in the gingival epithelium?
langerhans cells
merkel cells
melanocyte
