Study Notes
Supragingival Fibers
- Alveologingival (AG): Extend from the alveolar crest to the gingival connective tissue.
- Circular (C): Form a ring around the tooth, situated coronally above the crestal bone.
- Dentogingival (DG): Fan out from the cementum, inserting into the gingival connective tissue.
- Periosteogingival (PG): Fan out from the periosteum.
- Intergingival (IG): Run in a mesiodistal direction along the entire dental arch, connecting teeth together.
- Intercircular (IC): Encircle several teeth, connecting teeth together.
- Interpapillary (IP): Located in the papilla, connecting the oral and vestibular papilla.
- Transgingival (TG): Extend from the cementum to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and run horizontally, connecting teeth together.
- Transeptal (TS): Extend from the cementum of one tooth to the cementum of another tooth over the crestal bone.
