100

Provide sensations of touch and pressure, support for tooth in alveolar bone and nutrition to bone and cementum.



What is the Periodontal Ligament? PDL

100

The fibers that encircle entire tooth coronal to the alveolar crest.

What is the Circular fibers?

100

Most common type of implant used in clinical dentistry.

What is a endosseous implant?

100

MOST critical vitamin for wound healing and collagen formation in the periodontium

What is Vitamin C?

100

The earliest period after surgery when it is safe to probe a surgical site.

What is 4 weeks?

200

The average depth of a healthy sulcus

What is 1.8 mm?

200

First fibers that are affected by periodontal disease.

What are the Alveolar Crest fibers?

200

A bone graft that comes from synthetic bone.(hydroxyapatite-main mineral component of bone)

What is a Alloplast?

200

This pathogen is most associated with aggressive periodontitis.

What is Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans?(Aa)

200

Pocket with junctional epithelium coronal to the alveolar crest.  

What is a Suprabony defect?

300

A bone graft that comes from a donor(cadaver).

What is a Allograft?

300

These fibers transfer the occlusal pressure to tension on bone; LARGEST periodontal fiber group.

What are the Alveolar Crest fibers?

300

Gram-negative, nonmotile pathogen found in small numbers in the healthy periodontium and in large numbers in RECURRENT disease sites with deep periodontal pockets.

What is Porphyromonas gingivalis(Pg)?

300

Window  in the bone covering the facial surface of a root.

What is Fenestration

300

First white blood cell at the site of injury; begins phagocytosis; and releases cytokines and lysosomes.

What is Polymorphonuclear (PMN's)

400

The connective tissue that is beneath the gingiva and is made up of connective tissue that is composed of collagen fibers that form the FIBER BUNDLES.  


It is mainly fibroblast

What is the Lamina Propria?

400

These fibers constitute the bulk of the of the interdental papilla. 

Has acementum-to-cementum attachment

What are the Transseptal fibers?

400

Type of periodontal pocket in which the bottom is apical to the level of the adjacent alveolar bone.  


Junctional epithelium has migrated below the crest of the bone

What is a Infrabony periodontal pocket?

400

In development of gingival and periodontal infections this stage where breakdown of collagenous tissue begins, epithelial proliferation.  


What is early lesion?

400

The plaque induced inflammation of soft tissues with no loss of bone around an implant. 

What is Peri-implant mucositis?

500

The bundle of collagen fibers of the PDL that insert into the cementum and periosteum alveolar bone.

What is Sharpey's Fibres?

500

These fibers opposes lateral forces, retains the tooth in the socket, are the most coronal of PDL, and are the most NUMEROUS.

What are the oblique fibers?

500

SECOND inflammatory cell to arrive; ingests and digests microorganisms; releases cytokines, prostaglandins, and lysosomes.

What is a Macrophage?

500

Bowl-shaped defect in the interdental alveolar bone with bone loss nearly equal on the roots of two adjacent teeth.

What is a Osseous Crater?
500

Thin layer of calcified connective tissue that provides attachment for fibers.  It is not vascular and more resistant to resorption than bone.  Seals dentinal tubules.

What is Cementum?
