In the JE, epithelium cells attach to neighboring epithelial cells via?

Desmosomes

The JE attaches to the tooth surface via?

Hemidesmosomes and the internal basal lamina

What type of cell are responsible for resorption of cementum and bone in orthodontic tooth movement?

Osteoclasts

What is the function of the PDL or principle fibers?

Transmits tactile pressure and occlusal forces to the bone and helps stabilize tooth in the socket

This type of pocket occur when there is bone loss and the JE is located apical to the crest of the alveolar bone

Infrabony

Epithelial projections or ridges that extend into the connective tissue

Rete Pegs

In cases of periodontitis, what is the first area to be involved in bone resorption?

Cortical plate of the interdental septum

The deep extensions of epithelium that reach down into the connective tissue are

Epithelial ridges

In horizontal bone loss, inflammation spreads through tissue, ending in the ____. In vertical bone loss the inflammation spreads through tissue, ending in the ________.

Periodontal Ligament, Alveolar Bone

Embeds in the cementum and fans out into the gingival connective tissue and attaches the gingiva to teeth.

Gingivodental Fibers

Ends of the PDL fibers that embed in cementum and alveolar bone.

Sharpey's fibers

Largest group of principle fibers that extend from cementum to the bone and helps to resist vertical pressure

Oblique Fibers

Resists horizontal movement of the tooth and extend from the cervical cementum, running downward in a diagonal direction

Alveolar Crest Fibers

Runs from cementum of one tooth over the crest of bone to the cementum of adjacent tooth

Transseptal Fibers

Tissue changes during gingivitis occur in the

Lamina Propria

In acute gingivitis, what is the first inflammatory cell to respond to injury by bacterial plaque

Neutrophils

Early stages of gingivitis and chronic periodontitis would probably contain what miccroorganism?

Tanneralla forsyntensis

Describe the epithelial lining of a healthy gingival sulcus?

Nonkeratinized epithelium without rete pegs

What type of bacterium is the first to deposit on the tooth in bacterial plaque formation

Gram positive cocci

The cytokine that plays an important role in periodontitis initiates most of the alveolar bone destruction is

PGE 2

Periodontal pathogen thats nonmotile and usually found in chronic periodontitis and the early stages of gingivitis

Tannerella Forsynthia

Produce high concentrations of cytokines, PGE2, and MMP's that result in the destruction of connective tissue and alveolar bone in the periodontitis tissue destruction phase

Macrophage

Leukocytes are attracted to the infection site

Chemotaxis

Coating of the surface of a microorganism to facilitate destruction by phagocytes.

Opsonization

Inheritable connective tissue disorder where the oral mucosa is fragile and easily torn with hyperplastic ginigival tissue that bleeds easily.

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

Genetic disorder characterized by hyperkeratosis of the palms of hands and feet, severe periodontal destruction and early edentulism.

Papillon- Lefevre Syndrome

Localized aggressive periodontitis exhibits attachement loss of the _____ and ______.

Incisors and first molars

The primary dentition is being lost and the permanent dentition is also exfoliating as soon as they erupt into the oral cavity.

Periodontitis associated with PMN deficiency

Interferance of the storage of carbohydrates where patients are not able to metabolize cholesterol and lipids within the cell.

Glycogen storage disease

Disease associated with aggressive perio alonf with impairment of neutrophils displaying physical characteristics of pale colored eyes, skin and hair.

Che-diak Higashi Syndrome

Disorder of the skin and mucous membranes due to allergic reaction or infection where large red blotches appear in a circular pattern.

Erythema Multiforme

Bacteria elevated in gingivitis

Campylobacter concisus, Streptococcus sanguis

Genetic disorder characterized by extreme low levels of neutrophils due to defective bone marrow

Familial and cyclic neutropenia
