  2. Gingival sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingival_sulcus

    The constant low-level inflammatory reaction in the connective tissue underlying the junctional epithelium also results in the formation of the Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF). The Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) is a serum like fluid that is formed from the post capillary venules of the Dentogingival Plexus which is a dense network of blood ...

  3. Calculus (dental) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_(dental)

    In dentistry, calculus or tartar is a form of hardened dental plaque. It is caused by precipitation of minerals from saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in plaque on the teeth. This process of precipitation kills the bacterial cells within dental plaque, but the rough and hardened surface that is formed provides an ideal surface for ...

    They migrate from the tissues in a specialized exudate called gingival crevicular fluid also known as GCF. Neutrophils are recruited to the gingival crevice area as they are signalled to by molecules released by plaque microorganisms. Damage to epithelial cells releases cytokines which attract leukocytes to assist with the inflammatory response.

  5. Fiberotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberotomy

    A fiberotomy or pericision is an orthodontic surgical procedure designed to sever the gingival fibers around a tooth. It usually reduces the tendency to relapse of tooth rotations corrected by dental braces or other treatments. [1] The most frequently encountered post-orthodontic problem is the retention of re-established tooth position.

  6. Periodontal fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_fiber

    The main principal fiber group is the alveolodental ligament, which consists of five fiber subgroups: alveolar crest, horizontal, oblique, apical, and interradicular on multirooted teeth.

    Dental plaque is a biofilm of microorganisms ... saliva and gingival crevicular fluid contain primary nutrients including amino acids, proteins and glycoproteins ...

  8. List of periodontal diseases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_periodontal_diseases

    Non-plaque-induced gingival disease is an inflammation of the gingiva that does not result from dental plaque, but from other gingival diseases caused by bacterial, viral, fungal, or genetic sources. Although this gingival disease is less common than those which are plaque-induced, it can have a serious impact on the patient's overall health.

  9. Junctional epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_epithelium

    In dental anatomy, the junctional epithelium (JE) is that epithelium which lies at, and in health also defines, the base of the gingival sulcus (i.e. where the gums attach to a tooth). The probing depth of the gingival sulcus is measured by a calibrated periodontal probe.
