Perio Final Review Flashcards
(175 cards)
the tissues of the periodontium
gingiva cementum PDL alveolar bone
protects underlying tooth structures from oral environment
gingiva
suspends and maintains the tooth in the socket
PDL
hard, mineralized tissue that attaches to the dentin
cementum
protects the dentin and compensates for tooth wear
cementum
valley like depression apical to the contact area of 2 adjacent teeth that connects facial and lingual papillae
gingival col
there will be no col if
there is a large space in between 2 teeth
5 functions of the PDL
tooth support sensory nutrition cementoblasts/osteoblasts bone remodeling
primary function of cementum
PDL attachment
terminal endings of periodontal ligaments attached to the cementum
sharpeys fibers
seals the ends of open dentinal tubules
cementum
compensates for occlusal attrition to maintain tooth length
cementum
excess cementum in apical 1/3 of root
hypercementosis (radiopaque)
sensitive to mechanical forces and inflammation
alveolar bone
compact bone
cortical bone
bone closest to the PDL
ABP
cementum that is closer to the oral cavity; doesn’t rebuild
acelluar cementum
covers cervical 1/3 of root; closer to the oral cavity; doesn’t rebuild
acelluar cementum
covers the apical half of root; continuously deposited; thickness increases w/age
cellular cementum
the process which epithelial cells on the surface of the skin become stronger and waterproof
keratinization
type of epithelium that comprises flat cells arranged in several layers
stratified squamous epithelium
cell to basal lamina connection
hemidesmosomes
connect neighboring epithelial cells together
desmosomes
located at base of sulcus
