Which group of gingival fibers encircles the tooth without being attached to the cementum or alveolar bone?
Circular group
What is unique about the palatine gingiva compared to other types of gingiva described?
No submucosa
What is the composition of the Median palatine raphe?
Dense connective tissue
What role does the fatty zone in the antro-lateral area play?
Acts as a cushion
Where are pure mucous glands located in relation to the postero-lateral area?
Contained in the submucosa
Which area of the palate consists of a series of elevations that do not cross the midline?
"Palatine Rugae"
"Median palatine raphe" extends from which structure posteriorly?
"Palatine papilla (incisive)"
"Alveologingival group" of gingival fibers extends from where to where?
"Alveolar crest to the lamina propria"
Which group of gingival fibers extends from the cementum, then goes over the bone crest and inclines apically between the periosteum of alveolar bone?
Dentoperiosteal group
What is the unique feature of the Circular group of gingival fibers?
It encircles the tooth without being attached to the cementum or alveolar bone.
What is the composition of Palatine Rugae as described in the text?
Consists of series of elevations without crossing the midline.
What is the distinguishing characteristic of the antro-lateral area (fatty zone) of the palate?
Acts as a cushion due to divided compartments with fat cells.
Which area of the palate contains bands of fibrous connective tissue dividing the submucosa into compartments with fat cells?
Antro-lateral area (fatty zone)
Where can we find pure mucous glands according to the text?
Postero-lateral area (glandular zone)
Which group of gingival fibers mainly extends from cervical cementum to the lamina propria?
Dentogingival group
What characterizes the Median palatine raphe in terms of structure?
Palatine papilla (incisive) is pear-shaped and formed of dense C.T.
What does Palatine gingiva lack when compared to other types described?
Mucogingival junction
Learn about the classification of gingival fibers which includes dentogingival group, alveologingival group, circular group, and dentoperiosteal group. Understand the specific location and function of each group within the gingiva.
