Chapter 1: Periodontium
13
Periodontium : the functional system of tissues that surrounds the teeth and attaches them to the jaw bone.
Gingiva : the tissue that covers the cervical portions of the teeth and the alveolar processes of the jaw.
Periodontal ligament : the fibers that surround the root of the tooth. These fibers attach to the bone of the socket on one side and to the cementum of the root on the other side.
Cementum : the thin layer of mineralized tissue that covers the root of the tooth.
Alveolar : the bone that surrounds the roots of the teeth. It forms the bony sockets that support and protect the roots of the teeth.
Periodontal ligament : suspends and maintains the tooth in its socket
cementum : anchors the ends of the periodontal ligament fibers to the tooth so that it stays in the socket and protects the dentin of the root.
alveolar bone: surrounds and supports the roots of the tooth
gingiva : ends coronal to the CEJ of each tooth and attaches to the tooth by means of a specialized type of epithelial tissue(JE), composed of thin outer layer of epithelium and an underlying core of connective tissue, protects underlying tooth-supporting structures of the periodontium from oral environment by having several defense mechanisms such as saliva and immune system.
alveolar mucosa : apical boundary of the gingiva
free gingival groove : shallow linear depression that separates the free and attached gingiva
mucogingival junction : clinically visible boundary where the pink attached gingiva meets the red, shiny alveolar mucosa.
free gingiva : unattached portion of the gingiva that surrounds the tooth in the region of the CEJ. surrounds tooth in turtleneck or cufflike manner, attaches to the tooth by means of a specialized epithelium(JE)
gingival margin :coronal boundary of the gingiva, where the tissue of the free gingiva meets the tooth in a thin rounded edge. Follows the contours of the teeth, creating a scalloped(wavy) outline around them.
