25
The free gingival margin is the ___ end of the gingiva and is located ___-___mm coronal to the CEJ.
coronal; 1.5-2mm
26
The free gingival groove is the junction between the free and ___ gingiva. It corresponds to the ___ but may only be found in ___-___% of adults.
attached; CEJ; 30-40%
27
Which part of the gingival epithelium faces the oral cavity?
the oral epithelium
28
Which part of the gingva faces the tooth surface without contacting it?
oral sulcular epithelium
29
The ___ epithelium provides the contact between the gingiva and the tooth.
junctional
30
The free (marginal) gingiva is limited macroscopically by which structures? microscopically?
Macro - extends from Free Gingival Margin to Free Gingival Groove Micro - extends from Free Gingival Margin to Junctional Epithelium
31
Why do we care about the microscopic and macroscopic landmarks of the free (marginal) gingiva?
Because these landmarks change from health to disease and determine the accuracy of probe readings.
32
The attached gingiva has a ___ texture, is ___ pink and ___.
firm; coral; immobile
33
T/F. The width of the attached gingiva decreases with age.
False, it INCREASES with age due to passive eruption.
34
The attached gingiva is widest in ___ and narrowest in ___ on the buccal side of the maxilla.
incisors; premolars
35
The mandibular lingual width of the attached gingiva is narrowest in ___ and widests in ___.
incisors; molars
36
Define stippling.
Small depressions on the attached gingiva found in 40% of adults and is seen as a sign of health.
37
The ___ junction is the junction between attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa.
mucogingival
38
T/F. The mucogingival junction is found on the palate.
False, it is NOT found on the palate.
39
Attached and marginal gingiva are ___ (keratinized/non-keratinized).
keratinized
40
The significance for attached gingiva is that it supports ___ gingiva and is the base for movable elements (lips, cheek and tongue). It can withstand ___ and functional stresses because of its thick ___ ___ layer that is firmly bound to the ___ and bone.
marginal; frictional; CT; periosteum
41
T/F. Attached gingiva serves as a passage of inflammation.
True.
42
If your patient has great oral hygiene, should the thickness of the attached gingiva matter?
no
43
If your patient has less than optimal oral hygiene, what should you consider?
the width (height) and thickness of the attached gingiva. Both matter to prevent inflammation.
44
What three things does the shape of the interdental papilla depend on?
1. the contact relationships between adjacent teeth 2. the width of approximal tooth surfaces 3. the course of CEJ
45
What is the col?
the concavity seen in contact areas of premolar / molar region
46
What type of epithelium is found in the col? What is this similar too?
non-keratinized epithelium. This is similar to junctional epithelium
47
What happens to non-keratinized tissue if you extract a tooth or have an open contact?
it'll keratinize. Keratinized tissue resists infections better than nonkeratinized tissue
48
The oral epithelium is a ___ (keratinized/non-keratinized), ___ (simple/stratified), ___ (squamous/columnar) epithelium that contains keratin-producing cells known as ___.
keratinized; stratified; squamous; keratinocytes
49
What are the four layers of the oral epithelium?

50
T/F. Cell nuclei are lacking in the outer cell layers of the oral epithelium.
True, this epithelium is called orthokeratinized.
51
What term is used if the cells of the stratum corneum contain remnants of the nuclei?
parakeratinized
52
From the basal layer to the granular layer both the number of ___ in the cytoplasm and the number of ___ increase. What decreases in number?
tonofilaments; desmosomes organelles decrease
53
___ make up 90% of the cells of the oral epithelium. Clear cells include ___(synthesize melanin pigment), ___ cells (defense cells), and ___ cells (sensory).
Keratinocytes; Melanocytes; Langerhans; Merkel's
54
Where are basal cells found?
present between the basal layer of the oral epithelium and CT.
55
T/F. The basement membrane is 1-2um wide, rich in glycoproteins and contains protein-polysaccharide complexes.
True.
56
What are the two layers of the basement membrane that can be seen on electron microscope?
lamina lucida and lamina densa
57
Which layer of the basement membrane is adjacent to basal cells? Which layer is adjacent to connective tissue?
lamina lucida - basal cells | lamina densa - CT
58
Anchoring fibers project from the lamina ___ into connective tissue.
densa
59
What are the dense plaques that attached epithelium to the basement membrane called?
hemidesmosomes
60
A pair of hemidesmosomes is known as ___.
desmosomes
61
The surface of the epithelium that faces the connective tissue has several depressions from the connective tissue ___. The epithelial ridges or ___ ___ intervene.
papillae; rete pegs
62
What happens when the rete pegs fuse?
stippling
63
What is missing from the JE sites, papillae or rete pegs?
rete pegs
