  2. Gingival fibers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingival_fibers

    In theory, gingival fibers are the protectors against periodontitis, as once they are breached, they cannot be regenerated.When destroyed, the gingival sulcus (labelled G in the diagram) increases in depth apically, allowing more debris and bacteria to remain in intimate contact with the delicate sulcular and junctional epithelia for longer times.

  3. Gums - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gums

    When gum tissue is not healthy, it can provide a gateway for periodontal disease to advance into the deeper tissue of the periodontium, leading to a poorer prognosis for long-term retention of the teeth. Both the type of periodontal therapy and homecare instructions given to patients by dental professionals and restorative care are based on the ...

  4. Periodontal fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_fiber

    The periodontal ligament, commonly abbreviated as the PDL, are a group of specialized connective tissue fibers that essentially attach a tooth to the alveolar bone within which they sit. [1] It inserts into root cementum on one side and onto alveolar bone on the other.

  5. Periodontium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontium

    The periodontium (from Greek περί (peri-) 'around' and -odont 'tooth') is the specialized tissues that both surround and support the teeth, maintaining them in the maxillary and mandibular bones. Periodontics is the dental specialty that relates specifically to the care and maintenance of these tissues. It provides the support necessary to ...

  7. Periodontology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontology

    Pro-inflammatory cytokines are produced inside the gingival tissues and further escalate inflammation, which impacts the progression of chronic systemic inflammation and disease. The result is collagen breakdown, infiltrate accumulation as well as collagen breakdown in the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone resorption.

  8. Mucogingival junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucogingival_junction

    Using the mucogingival junction as the boundary demarcating the apical border of the attached gingiva, a periodontal probe is inserted into the gingival sulcus to measure how much of the keratinized gingiva coronal to the mucogingival junction is in fact attached to the underlying bone. The depth of the gingival sulcus, determined by the depth ...

  9. Dental anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anatomy

    The tooth is attached to the surrounding gingival tissue and alveolar bone (C) by fibrous attachments. The gingival fibers (H) run from the cementum (B) into the gingiva immediately apical to the junctional epithelial attachment and the periodontal ligament fibers (I), (J) and (K) run from the cementum into the adjacent cortex of the alveolar bone.
