Q

T/F Dental implants placed in compact bone initially rely upon the stability offered by spongy bone to avoid early movement which impedes on inhibits osseointegration of the rest of the device in the spongy bone.

A

dentoperiosteal group

18
Q

Which gingival ligament fiber bundle runs interdentally from the cementum just apical to the base of the junctional epithelium of one tooth over the alveolar crest and insert into a comparable region of the cementum of the adjacent tooth?

A

transseptal fiber system

19
Q

Which type of fibers in the transseptal fiber system have been implicated as a major cause of postretention relapse of orthodontically positioned teeth?

A

supracrestal fibers

20
Q

Which two branches of the of the Trigeminal (V) nerve innervate the PDL?

A

The maxillary (V2) and mandibular (V3)

21
Q

T/F Stimulation of the PDL sensory nerves causes jaw opening?

A

True

22
Q

What kind of free nerve endings are found along the whole length of the tooth root?

A

Highly branched nerve endings

23
Q

What are the four types of free nerve endings found in various regions of the PDL?

  1. Tree-like branch endings2. Dendritic fiber endings3. Coiled endings4. Spindle-type endings
24
Q

What is the name of the many interconnections within the rich blood supply of the PDL?

alveolar crest, horizontal, oblique, apical, interradicular

26
Q

What are the 3 types of collagen fiber groups of PDL?

A

Types I, II, and VII

27
Q

Which principal fiber group runs right angles to the long axis of the tooth from cementum to bone just below the alveolar crest?

A

horizontal group

28
Q

Which principal fiber group is the most numerous in the PDL and runs from the cementum in an oblique direction to insert into bone coronally around the root?

A

oblique group

29
Q

Which principal fiber group radiates from the cementum around the apex of the root to the bone, forming the base of the socket?

A

apical group

30
Q

Which principal fiber group is found only between the roots of multi-rooted teeth and runs from the cementum into the interradicular crest of the alveolar bone?

A

interradicular group

31
Q

What are the 3 types of collagen fiber groups of PDL?

A

Types I, II, and VII

32
Q

Which collagen fiber is the most abundant in PDL?

A

Type I collagen

33
Q

What are Oxytalan fibers?

A

Bundles of elastic fibers distributed in the PDL that run vertically from the apical root cementum to nerves and blood vessels in the cervical region of the PDL.

34
Q

What are the Oxytalan fibers thought to regulate in response to variations in tension on the tooth?

A

Vascular flow

35
Q

What is the difference in physical appearance between Oxytalan fibers and collagen fibers?

A

Oxytalan fibers are unbanded, while collagen fibers are banded

36
Q

What is the physical description of most collagen fibrils of the PDL?

A

In braided, rope-like bundles

37
Q

What is the benefit of having different orientations of fiber groups in the PDL?

A

They support the tooth against the forces applied to the tooth

38
Q

What are the five principal fiber groups of the PDL? Where does each attach to the tooth?

A
  1. Alveolar crest group - attached to the cementum just below the CEJ and runs downward and outward to insert into the rim of the alveolus
  2. Horizontal group - just below the alveolar crest group, runs at right angles to the long axis of the tooth from the cementum to bone just below the alveolar crest
  3. Oblique group is the most numerous of the PDL
  4. Apical group - radiates from the cementum around the apex of the root to the bone, forming the base of the socket
  5. Interradicular group
