Study Notes
Periodontics Study Notes
-
Definition of Periodontology: The study of the tissues surrounding the tooth. It's interchangeable with periodontics, but periodontics is the technique or science of periodontal treatment.
-
Oral Mucosa: Soft tissue lining the interior of the mouth.
-
Oral Mucosa Zones:
- Masticatory Mucosa: Covers the hard palate and gingiva.
- Specialized Mucosa: Covers the dorsum of the tongue, specialized due to taste buds.
-
Periodontal Tissues:
- Gingiva: Covers the alveolar bone, healthy gingiva is coral pink; important for CEJ.
- Periodontal Ligaments: Attaches cementum to the alveolar bone.
- Cementum: Root covering.
- Alveolar Bone: Surrounding each tooth root.
-
Parts of Gingiva:
- Marginal Gingiva: Scalloped; follows the marginal edge, proximal edge.
- Attached Gingiva: Firmly attached to alveolar bone.
- Interdental Gingiva: Located interproximal/interdental between two teeth.
-
Col: Part of the interdental gingiva, middle portion, valley-like depression, saddle-like.
-
Gingival Sulcus: The space between the tooth and gingiva is the sulcus, it's a healthy space ranging from 0 to 3mm.
-
Normal Gingival Sulcus: Base is made of junctional epithelium with internal basal lamina, hemidesmosomes.
-
Gingival Sulcus Depth: 0-3mm is healthy, 3.5+ and there is a problem. The probe is used to measure.
-
Suprabony Pocket: Base of pocket is coronal to alveolar crest.
-
Infrabony/Intrabony Pocket: Base of pocket is apical to alveolar crest.
-
Gingival Hyperplasia: Oral diseases; drugs-related reaction; side effect of certain medications.
-
Stillman's Cleft: Periodontal disease; it's caused by food impaction; recession of gingiva, supracrestal tissue attachments.
-
Black Triangle: The space where interdental papilla starts to recede, more common in older adults; influenced by receding gingiva, caused by things like abrasions.
-
Features of Healthy Gingiva:
- Color: Coral pink
- Contour: Scalloped
- Consistency: Firm and resilient
- Texture: Stippling (like an orange peel).
-
Features of Diseased Gingiva:
- Color: Reddish.
- Contour: Rounded and enlarged, less pronounced.
- Consistency: Spongy, presence of fluid.
- Texture: Smooth and shiny.
-
Radiopaque Structures: Important in evaluating bone health, gingiva and periodontal structures in x-rays.
-
Biologic Width: Measures 2.04mm, is made up of junctional epithelium and connective tissue attachments.
-
McCall Festoons: Collar-like fibrous thickening, near marginal gingiva, lighter color.
-
Important Considerations of the Gingiva of Black Individuals: Color variation; possible considerations for healthy status.
-
Different Gingiva Types: Gingival, palatal/lingual.
-
Components of the Periodontium: Free gingiva, gingival sulcus, gingival margin, attached gingiva, alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, cementum.
-
Types of Pocket:
-
Healthy Sulcus: 0 - 3mm deep
-
Pseudo Pocket: Not a true pocket: base of the sulcus is at the CEJ; 3mm or more is a periodontal pocket; not a true pocket
-
Suprabony Pocket: Base is coronal to the alveolar crest
-
Infrabony/ Intrabony Pocket: Base is apical to the alveolar crest
