PDL
arises from the cementum and the alveolar bone simultaneously and grows into the mid-portion of the PDL space
the space between the free gingiva and the tooth surface is called:
sulcus
the col:
is absent if teeth are missing
Cementum
anchors the PDL to the bone protects dentin
Gingiva
provides a tissue seal around the neck of the tooth, covers bone, and keeps the tissue around the tooth while chewing
Alveolar bone
surrounds and supports the roots of the tooth
PDL
suspends and maintains the tooth in its socket
Name the 5 functions of the PDL
sensory, supportive, remodeling, nutritive and formative
Name the branches of the 5th cranial nerve that innervates the maxilla and the mandible
Maxilla V2 and Mandible V3
Name the 5 principal fiber groups of the PDL
alveolar crest, horizontal, interradicular, oblique, and apical
What type of cementum aides in compensation for attrition?
cellular cementum
Which term accurately describes the excessive deposition of cementum on the roots of teeth. In the absence of pathology, no treatment is needed.
Hypercementosis
Alveologingiva
attach gingiva to the bone
dentogingival
attach gingiva to the teeth
circular
encircles the tooth like a ring not attached to cementum
interpapillary
located in the papilla coronal to transseptal fiberstr
transgingival
runs horizontally between adjacent teeth, like teeth into arch
transseptal
passes over crest of alveolar bone secures alignment
periosteogingival
attach gingiva to the bone
intergingival
extend in mesiodistal direction along entire arch & the last molar
the sulcular epithelium has how many cellular layers?
3
what are supragingival fiber bundles of the gingival connective tissues?
network of rope like collagen fiber bundles in the gingival connective tissue
how many supragingival fiber groups are there?
9 groups
what are the 3 ways in which the fiber bundles are classified?
orientation, site of insertion, and the structures they connect
