Perio 1
Provide sensations of touch and pressure, support for tooth in alveolar bone and nutrition to bone and cementum.
What is the Periodontal Ligament? PDL
The fibers that encircle entire tooth coronal to the alveolar crest.
What is the Circular fibers?
Most common type of implant used in clinical dentistry.
What is a endosseous implant?
MOST critical vitamin for wound healing and collagen formation in the periodontium
What is Vitamin C?
The earliest period after surgery when it is safe to probe a surgical site.
What is 4 weeks?
The average depth of a healthy sulcus
What is 1.8 mm?
First fibers that are affected by periodontal disease.
What are the Alveolar Crest fibers?
A bone graft that comes from synthetic bone.(hydroxyapatite-main mineral component of bone)
What is a Alloplast?
This pathogen is most associated with aggressive periodontitis.
What is Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans?(Aa)
Pocket with junctional epithelium coronal to the alveolar crest.
What is a Suprabony defect?
A bone graft that comes from a donor(cadaver).
What is a Allograft?
These fibers transfer the occlusal pressure to tension on bone; LARGEST periodontal fiber group.
What are the Alveolar Crest fibers?
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)?
Window in the bone covering the facial surface of a root.
What is Fenestration
First white blood cell at the site of injury; begins phagocytosis; and releases cytokines and lysosomes.
What is Polymorphonuclear (PMN's)
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?
These fibers constitute the bulk of the of the interdental papilla.
Has acementum-to-cementum attachment
What are the Transseptal fibers?
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?
In development of gingival and periodontal infections this stage where breakdown of collagenous tissue begins, epithelial proliferation.
What is early lesion?
The plaque induced inflammation of soft tissues with no loss of bone around an implant.
What is Peri-implant mucositis?
The bundle of collagen fibers of the PDL that insert into the cementum and periosteum alveolar bone.
What is Sharpey's Fibres?
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?
SECOND inflammatory cell to arrive; ingests and digests microorganisms; releases cytokines, prostaglandins, and lysosomes.
What is a Macrophage?
Bowl-shaped defect in the interdental alveolar bone with bone loss nearly equal on the roots of two adjacent teeth.
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?
