Term
anatomical crown
Definition
portion of tooth  covered by enamel
Term
clinical crown
Definition
part of crown visible/ what we can see
Term
anatomical root
Definition
portion of root covered by cementum
Term
clinical root
Definition
part of root we can see or below base of gingival sulcus
Term
name the oral tissues
Definition

-oral mucosa

-connective tissue

-bone

-enamel

-dentin

-cementum

Term
mastecatory mucosa
Definition
-tough tissue attached to bone is keratinized and protective. consists of gingiva & hard palate
Term
lining mucosa
Definition
-lips, cheek, floor of mouth, soft palate, under tongue, alveolar mucosa IS NOT KERATINIZED
Term
specialized mucosa
Definition

dorsum of tongue/lateral border

_filliform,fungiform,foliate, circumvallet papilla

Term
periodontium
Definition
funtional system of tissues that surround teeth and attaches to them to bone.
Term
funtions of peridontium
Definition

-seals cervical portion of tooth

-holds tissue against the tooth during mastication

-suspends and maintains tooth in socket

-protects underlying dentin

-surrounds and supports roots

Term
tissues of peridontium
Definition

-gingiva

-periodontal ligament

-cementum

-alveolar bone

Term
what are the peridontium around the tooth?
Definition

-free gingival margin

-free gingival groove

-attached gingiva

-mucogingival junction

-alveolar mucosa

-frunula 

Term
periodontal ligament
Definition
layer of soft connective tissue that cover the root of the tooth and attaches it to bone of tooth socket
Term
functions of periodontal ligaments
Definition

-support

-sensory

-nutritive

-formative

-resporption

Term
what are the principle fiber groups
Definition

a. transseptal(tooth to tooth separate)

b. alveolar crest (crest to cementum intrusion)

c. horizontal(cementum to middle of each root to adjacent alveolar bone (tipping)

d. oblique (root obliquely toward occlusal vertical)

e. apica (root ape to adjacent surrounding bone vertical)

f. interradicular(cementum between roots to adjacent bone vertical and lateral

Term
sharpy's fibers
Definition
help ligaments stick to bone
Term
dentogingival fibers
Definition
attach cementum to free gingiva
Term
alveologingival fibers
Definition

attached gingiva

alveolar crest into free and attached gingiva

Term
circumferential fibers
Definition
circular around tooth
Term
dentoperiosteal fibers
Definition

alveolar crest

cervical cementum over alveolar crest

Term
what is the function of root cementum?
Definition

seal and cover tubules

attach pdl fibers to tooth

compensates for attrition

Term
characteristics of acellular cementum
Definition

-first to form

formed before tooth reaches occlusal plane

no cells 

covers cervical 1/3 to 1/2 of root

Term
characteristics of cellular cementum
Definition

-formed after tooth reaches occlusal plane

-contains cells

-located apical

Term
function of alveolar bone
Definition

support teeth

provide attachment for periodontal ligament fibers

Term
JE
Definition
Junctional epithelium where bacteria can get in base of pocket.
Term
3 areas of gingival epithelium
Definition

-oral (facing out(anterior/buccal)

-sulcular -inside pocket

junctional -attachment point

Term
what is inside pocket?
Definition
-enamel, cementum, ginvigal sulcus, sulcular eptithelium, Junctional epithelium, crevicular fluid
Term
is oral epithelium keritanized?
Definition
yes
Term
is sulcular epithelium keratinized
Definition
no
Term
what are the boundaries of pocket?
Definition

-inner porton-tooth

-outer portion-sulcular tissue

-base - JE

Term
how do you measure base of pocket
Definition
with probe to col
Term

if something is localized it usually only involves 1 tooth or a small group.
