Osteocytes are inactive ____ trapped in mineralized bone When osteoblasts have completed a burst of ____ activity, most return to an inactive state, becoming ____ and ____-shaped and closely applied to the now-____ bone surface. Some osteoblasts, however, become surrounded by mineralizing bone matrix and lie within small cavities (____) in the bone. When this happens, the cell is called an ‘osteocyte’.

Periodontal ligament clinical considerations - ____ - Excessive forces - ____ - Destruction

Excessive forces can result in remodeling of periodontium ◦ Tooth can get more ____ as the ligament adapts ◦ The ligament adapts, remodels, and gets ____ with displacing forces ◦ Types of forces that are used professionally to do this = ____ ‣ Orthodontists move the teeth with controlled forces: • Use remodeling ability of periodontium and once it away from the displacing force, the ligament heals and goes back to a normal ligament width Accidental exfoliation - Example: If tooth is knocked out, then re-implanted into the socket and given a temporary stabilization - the ligament heals. • It heals because the periodontal ligament is a ____ structure, thus if you can maintain the vitality of the cells - then stand a good chance of getting periodontal ligament reformation in situations of accidental exfoliation ◦ In endodontics, they are extracting and reimplanting teeth and trying to get the ligament to reform and trying to retain the cell vitality ◦ If stabilize teeth for longer period of time - do not get ligament reformed, but rather get bony union between the tooth and the root (=____) Destruction of the ligament - determines how much repair one is able to get ◦ Ligament can get destroyed by periodontal disease = ____ ◦ Look at root surface and consider in terms of managing it from a maintenance or reattachment point of view ◦ Destruction can also be ____ - using ____ for example, one can sometimes be removing part of the periodontal fibers

ALVEOLAR BONE Crest of the bone follows the ____ and then rounds off ____

CEJ | interdentally

ALVEOLAR BONE ____ has been raised. As part of procedure, flap was raised, and thus able to see normal bone anatomy and its three dimensional structure.

Flap

ALVEOLAR BONE Alveolar bone is sometimes a little more ____ - why it is called the ____ bone sometimes •Some of the cells that are here may be the ____

spongey cancellous stem cells

The Periodontium Anatomical structure together with gingival component - This is normal ____ (we will discuss changes that occur with this with periodontal disease)

periodontium

You can see the bone crest being parallel to the CEJ. This is a normal situation. If you look at the bone morphology you can see lines. This represent formation of bone, layer of bone that are being deposited, bone formation (bone matrix). This ____, in small increment overtime is seen when grinding your teeth. The periodontium is a dynamic structure, the tooth ____ to compensate for the occlusion wear, you get this successive small and incremental bone deposition. As you wear teeth away teeth go back to occlusion by new bone being deposited on the crest. This is the normal situation. What is shown histologically is what one has stain with. There are fibers that dont show because this is a cell stain to show the cellular and alveolar component

linear deposition | erupt

Cellular stain (Left). Can see the orientation of the cell with fibroblast with the cementum. Can se the alignment of the cells in relation to the fibers (fiber stain on right) and the orientation and the attachment of the fibers to the CEJ area. Have Transseptal fibers in the fiber stain (right). Again You can see new bone formation due to ____. Can see junctional epithelium with some rete pegs as a result of inflammation in the tissue. This is the normal situation. You can see the marrow space as well

eruption

This is a periodontal bone. This is a ____ ended instrument to measure the space between the gum and the tooth. This is a particular marking system hear (3,5,7,8,9,10mm) This is a ____ marking system named after the head of perio in Toronto. The prob you will be using are calibrated in ____. Every 5mm you have a marking to make it more straight forward for reading

blunt William's mm

deeper

When one measure you go around various point around the tooth. These are the ____ area and these location points are next to the contact area on the mesial distal and middle area. The contact area require specific identitifaction and location. why do you measure at several point around the tooth structure? To see how the inflammation has spread around the circumference of the root called the ____ nature of periodontal diseases. It is not ____ around the tooth and varies in the different part around the tooth with different points where you measure difference and variability

contact site specific uniform

The pocket depth is the distance from the ____ to the position of the ____. You have loss of attachment from the CEJ to the en the probe

``` traditional pervasive acute chronic codestructive plaque-infected ```

Spread of Inflammation In traditional pathways: inflammation go straight through the ___. The spread of infection throughout the periodontium (he wrote a paper on this) Acute ___ of disease activity (Socransky) First person to be the author of your textbook was ___. At that time he said that if you have periodontitis and trauma from ___ you alter the spread of inflammation. Instead of going through the bone it spreads in the ___ and you have ___ pockets forming Nyman (periodontist from Sweden) When he performed surgery, patient having plaque infection seem that there was greater ___ of disease compared to when the disease was only by itself.

``` bone burst Glickman occlusion PDL infabony ``` spread controlled
