    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrous_joint

    The teeth, viewed from the right. A gomphosis, also known as a dentoalveolar syndesmosis, [11] or 'peg and socket joint' [12] is a joint that binds the teeth to bony teeth sockets in the maxillary bone and mandible. Gomphos is the Greek word for "bolt". The fibrous connection between a tooth and its socket is a periodontal ligament ...

  3. Oral submucous fibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_submucous_fibrosis

    Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic, complex, premalignant (1% transformation risk) condition of the oral cavity, characterized by juxta-epithelial inflammatory reaction and progressive fibrosis of the submucosal tissues (the lamina propria and deeper connective tissues).

  4. Hereditary gingival fibromatosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_gingival_fibro...

    HGF is characterized as a benign, slowly progressive, nonhemorrhagic, fibrous enlargement of keratinized gingiva. It can cover teeth in various degrees, and can lead to aesthetic disfigurement. [2] Fibrous enlargement is most common in areas of maxillary and mandibular tissues of both arches in the mouth. [1]

  5. Cemento-osseous dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cemento-osseous_dysplasia

    Periapical COD occurs most commonly in the mandibular anterior teeth while focal COD appears predominantly in the mandibular posterior teeth. Florid COD is an extensive variant of periapical COD where lesions occur in multiple quadrants which can encompass the maxilla and mandible, and infrequently can cause jawbone deformity.

  6. Periodontal fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_fiber

    The PDL is a part of the periodontium that provides for the attachment of the teeth to the surrounding alveolar bone by way of the cementum. The PDL appears as the periodontal space of 0.4 to 1.5 mm [ citation needed ] on radiographs, a radiolucent area between the radiopaque lamina dura of the alveolar bone proper and the radiopaque cementum.

  8. Dental follicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_follicle

    The formative role of the dental follicle starts when the crown of the tooth is fully developed and just before tooth eruption into the oral cavity. [2]Although tooth eruption mechanisms have yet to be understood entirely, generally it can be agreed that many factors, together, affect the tooth eruption process which is why it is very difficult to differentiate the causes and effects. [3]

  9. Odontoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odontoma

    A compound odontoma consists of the four separate dental tissues (enamel, dentine, cementum and pulp) embedded in fibrous connective tissue and surrounded by a fibrous capsule. It may present a lobulated appearance where there is no definitive demarcation of separate tissues between the individual "toothlets" (or denticles).
