Basal Lamina

Superficial part of basement membrane; within dentogingival junction has both an external and internal basal lamina surrounding junctional epithelium.

External Basal Lamina

is a structure similar to basal lamina that surrounds the sarcolemma of muscle cells. It is secreted by myocytes and consists primarily of Collagen type IV, laminin and perlecan (heparan sulfate proteoglycan).

Internal Basal Lamina

Col

Interdental gingiva apical to contact area assumes nonvisible concave form between facial and lingual gingival surfaces.

Dentogingival Junction

Junction between tooth surface and gingival tissue.

Dentogingival Junctional Tissue

Tissue that includes sulcular epithelium and junctional epithelium.

Epithelial Attachment (EA)

Device that attaches junctional epithelium to tooth surface.

Epithelium

Basic tissue that covers and lines external and internal body surfaces.

Junctional Epithelium (JE)

Deeper extension of sulcular epithelium.

Pocket Epithelium (PE)

Epithelium linning periodontal pocket.

Sulcular Epithelium

Epithelium that stands away from the tooth creating gingival sulcus.

Free Gingival Crest

Most superficial part of marginal gingiva.

Free Gingival Groove

Groove that separates attached gingiva from marginal gingiva.

Gingival Crevicular Fluid

Fluid in gingival sulcus.

Gingival Hyperplasia

Overgrowth of mainly interproximal gingiva.

Gingival Recession

Inferiorly placed margin of free gingival crest.

Gingivitis

Inflammation of the gums.

Periodontal Pocket

Gingival and periodontal pockets are extensions of the gingival sulcus, which exists in health.

Periodontitis

Inflammation of the tissue around the teeth, often causing shrinkage of the gums and loosening of the teeth.
