Study Notes

The periodontium surrounds teeth and attaches them to bone
It is made up of gingival tissues, cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone
Gingiva is part of the oral mucosa and covers the alveolar bone and tooth up to the CEJ
The gingiva is made up of free gingiva, attached gingiva, interdental papilla, and gingival sulcus
The free gingiva is unattached and allows for periodontal pockets to be measured
The gingival sulcus is the gap between the tooth and free gingiva, and is attached to the tooth surface by the epithelium
The interdental gingiva fills in spaces between teeth and can be triangular or col-shaped
The periodontal ligament connects the tooth to bone
The attached gingiva is attached to bone and is firm and resilient
Cementum is a hard mineralized tissue that covers the root surfaces of teeth, and the alveolar process is the bone that surrounds teeth.
