Q

the surfaces of the attached gingiva and interdental papilla are…

A

stippled and similar in appearance to an orange

36
Q

Sometimes the gingivae do not completely cover the roots of the teeth and the roots become

A

exposed

37
Q

gingival recession

A

can lead to sensitivity and root cavities

38
Q

Why does the color of gingivae vary?

A

In dark-skinned people, the gingivae may contain more melanin pigment than the nearby alveolar mucosa does

A

that are stored within the cells that produce melanin

is the the border of the gingiva surrounding the teeth in collar-like fashion

42
Q

unattached gingiva consists of the tissues …

A

from the top of the gingival margin to the base of the gingival sulcus

43
Q

what is 1mm wife and forms the soft wall of the gingival sulcus

A

unattached gingiva

44
Q

A

unattached gingiva is the 1st tissue to become inflamed

45
Q

interdental gingiva aka

A

gingival papilla

46
Q

interdental gingiva

A

Extension of the free gingiva that fills the interproximal embrasure between two adjacent teeth

47
Q

gingival groove

A

a shallow groove that runs parallel to the margin of the unattached gingiva and marks the beginning of the attached gingiva

48
Q

attached gingiva

A

extends from the base of the sulcus to the mucogingival junction

49
Q

oral cavity proper

A

are inside the dental arched

50
Q

in the back of the last molar on each side is a space that links the vestibule and…

A

oral cavity proper

51
Q

the difference between the oral cavity proper and vestibules

A

The vestibule is the space between the teeth and the inner mucosal lining of the lips and cheeks

, and the oral cavity proper is the space on the tongue side within the upper and lower dental arches

52

Q

The nasal surfaces are covered with

A

respiratory mucosa

54
Q

oral surfaces are covered with

A

oral mucosa

55
Q

The mucosa of the hard palate is tightly bound to the underlying bone, and therefore ….

posteriorly as a free edge with a hanging projection called the uvula

66
Q

The soft palate is supported posteriorly

A

by two arches, the fauces

67
Q

The anterior arch runs from the

A

soft palate down to the lateral aspects of the tongue as the palatoglossal arch
