25
the __mucosa of the dorsal tongue is associated with lingual papillae.
specialized
26
Lingual papillae are
the small nipple or hair–like structures on the upper surface of the tongue that give the tongue its characteristic rough texture.
27
There are four types of lingual papillae on the human tongue: circumvallate papillae (vallate papillae), fungiform papillae, filiform papillae and foliate papillae. All except the ___papillae are associated with taste buds
filiform
28
the specialized mucosa is __ keratinized
mostly
29
which lingual papillae are keratinized?
circumvallate and the filiform (to remember, both are the only ones that the 2nd letters are I)
30
which lingual papillae are NOT keratinized?
fungiform and foliate
31
the crevicular (sulcular) epithelium and the gingival COL are __keratinized?
not
32
the gingival _ is the interdental depression in the gingiva bw the buccal and lingual papillae
col
33
the lining of healthy sulcus is composed of __keratinized epithelial tissues with _ rete pegs
nonkeratinized, no rete pegs
34
the presence of rete pegs in the sulcus indicates
inflammation
35
the junction of the lining mucosa and masticatory mucosa Is called the
mucogingival junction
36
the BM is located bw
oral epithelium and CT.
37
the BM is composed of two layers =
basal lamina | reticular lamina
38
scaling and root planning can remove calculus and stimulate the gingiva. usually periodontics waits 4-6wks after procedure to reevaluate therapy. this allows healing of the CT by what cellular component of the gingival CT? osteoblast/odontoblast/fibroblast/ameloblast
fibroblast = responsible for synthesis and secretion of collagen and proteins. therefore they are responsible for healing of the gingiva following surgery or disease processes
39
the gingival apparatus is the
gingival ligaments and epithelial attachment
40
which is not a derivative of the dental follicle: | pulp/cementum/PDL/alveolar bone
pulp
41
the dental follicle is aka
the dental sac!
42
the dental follicle (Dental sac) is responsible for the development of the
supporting structures of the tooth = including the cementum, PDL and alveolar bone
43
the pulp is a derivation of the
dental papilla (P for pulp)
44
the __ appears as the periodontal space on radiographs (0.2mm width)
PDL = a radiolucent area bw the radiopaque lamina dura of the alveolar bone proper and the radiopaque cementum
45
the PDL is _ CT
fibrous
46
PDL transmits occlusal forces from teeth to bone allowing for a small amount of __ and acting as a shock absorber for the soft tissue around the teeth such as BV and nerves
movement
47
when a tooth loses its function (hypofunction) what happens to the PDL
becomes very thin and loses regular attachment
48
PDL also becomes very thin and loses regular attachment in areas of tension/compression?
tension
49
teeth in hyperfunction have a _ PDL width
increased
50
does the PDL show changes related to aging?
no, unlike other CT tissues of periodontium the PDL does not
51
the PDL can undergo drastic changes as a result of
periodontal disease
52
epithelial rests of Malassez
are remnants of Hertwig's epithelial root sheath found in the PDL of a functional tooth.
53
epithelial rests of Malassez are remnants of Hertwig's epithelial root sheath found in the PDL of a functional tooth that may become mineralized and form __
cementicles
54
Periapical and radicular cysts derive their cyst linings from the
rest of Malassez
55
which periodontal ligament fiber mainly resist movements of a tooth in an occlusal direction
apical group aka periapical = resists extrusive forces that try to pull the tooth out (in an occlusal direction) and rotational forces
56
PDL is made of type _ collagen
type 1 just like dentin
57
the main principal fiber group of the PDL is the
alveolodental ligament (consists of 5 groups)
58
function of this group is to resist tilting forces, which work to force the tip either mesially, distally, lingually or facially
horizontal group (from alveolar bone above crest to cementum horizontally)
59
the function of this group is to resist intrusive forces that try to push tooth inward and also rotational forces
oblique = cover the apical 2/3 of the root from bone to more apically located cementum
60
the function of this group is to work with alveolar crest and apical groups to resist intrusive, extrusive tilting and rotational forces
interradicular group = from cementum into bone in bifurcation of root
61
the _ group function is to resist tilting, intrusive extrusive and rotational forces originates at alveolar crest and fans out to insert into CERVICAL cementum at various angles
alveolar crest group
62
which fibers go from cementum to cementum without attaching to bone
transseptal aka interdental ligaments. = function resist rotational forces and keep teeth in contact
63
note all the PDL fibers resist
rotational forces
64
the ends of the principal fibers which are embedded into the cementum AND alveolar bone are called
Sharpey's fibers
65
what is the most common cell found in the PDL
fibroblasts
66
IN ALL CT THE _ ARE THE MOST COMMON CELL
fibroblasts
67
Contents of PDL
``` cementoblasts and cementoclasts osteoblasts and osteoclasts macrophages mast cells eosinophils undifferentiated mesenchymal cells ground substance (proteoglycans, GAGs, glycoproteins and water) ```
68
functions of PDL
support, formative, nutritive, sensory, remodeling
69
sensory function of PDL?
contains afferent nerves = pain pressure porprioception
70
remodeling function of PDL?
contains cells responsible for remodeling of PDL
71
orthodontic treatment is possible bc the pDL
continuously responds to changes as the result of functional requirements imposed upon the PDL by externally applied forces
72
is the PDL vascular?
yes from maxillary artery
73
the PDL lymphatics drian to the _ lymph nodes except for the mandibular inscisors that drain into the
submandibular | submental lymph nodes
74
what are the two types of nerves found in the PDL
afferent (sensory) = myelinated and transmits sensation. | autonomic sympathetic = regulates the BV's
75
two types of nerve endings in the PDL
FREE nerve endings = convey pain | ENCAPSULATED nerve endings = convey PRESSURE
