Perio
gingiva
pdl
cemetum
alveolar bone
gingiva is
keritinized
what category describes most gingivitis?
chronic plaque associated gingivitis
bulbous «>
festooned
where the gingival condition appears to large for the space “squeezed out
bulbous
rounding and enlargement of the gingival margin
life saver
festooned
marginal tissue is not stippled
true
hallmark sign of acute inflammation is
edema
the most obvious result of vasodialtation of the peripheral circulation was edema
true
fibrosis is the hallmark sign of
chronic inflammation
what is the shock absorber for nerve vessels?
PDL
extend interproximally over alveolar crest embedded in cementum of 2 adjacent teeth “ortho:
transseptal fibers
largest and most significant fiber group that extends from cementum coronally to the bone
oblique fiber
with stands masticaory stress in vertical direction
oblique
most prominant cell in the pdl responsible for collagen synthesis and degradation
fibroblasts
cementum is thinnest at the
cej
the main function of cementum is to provide attachment to the collagen fibers presented in the
pdl
crest of the alveolar bone should be
1-2 mm apical to the cej
base of the pocket is coronal to the alveolar bone “all gingival pockets”
suprabony defect
base of pocket is apical to the crest of the alveolar bone
infrabony defect
all gingival pockets are
suprabony defects
pregnancy associated gingivitis and pyogenic granuloma result from
prevotella intermedia and camphylobacter rectus
a healthy periodontium needs vitamin — and —-
c and protien
incubation 1 week, fever, lymphodenopathy and pain
herpes
