Term
I am the bone of the mandible and maxilla that supports the roots of the teeth.
Definition
Alveolar bone
Term
I am the tissue that anchors the PDL fibers to the tooth.
Definition
Sharpeys fibers
Term
i am the layer of compact bone that forms the outside wall of the mandible and maxilla
Definition
cortical bone
Term
i am the portion of the gingival tissue that fills the space between 2 teeth.
Definition
interdental papilla
Term
i am the dippled appearance of the attached gingiva.
Definition
stippled
Term
i am the space between the free gingiva and the tooth surface.
Definition
sulcus
Term
I am a layer of soft connective tissue that covers root surface and attaches tooth to bone.
Definition
fiber bundles of the PDL
Term
I am a shallow linear depression that separates the free gingiva and the attached gingiva.
Definition
free marginal groove
Term
i am the coronal boundry of the gingiva.
Definition
gingival margin
Term
I am the part of the gingiva that is firmly attached to the alveolar bone.
Definition
attached gingiva
Term
i am the apical boundary of the gingiva
Definition
Junctional eptithelium
Term
I am the unattached portion of the gingiva that surrounds the tooth at the CEJ.
Definition
free gingiva
Term
I am the functional system of tissues that surrounds the teeth and attaches them to mandible and maxilla.
Definition
peridontium
Term
i am a small bean shaped structure located on either side of head, neck, armpits, and groin.
Definition
lymph nodes
Term
I drain the lymph from the gingiva of the third molar region.
Definition
jugulo digastric
Term
I am the nerve that innervates thte maxillary molars except the mesial of the 1st molar.
Definition
Posterior superior alveolar nerve
Term
I am the tissue that can build and maintain cementum and the alveolar bone.
Definition
PDL
Term
I am the visible border where the pink attached gingival tissue and the red shiny alveolar tissue meet.
Definition
Mucogingival junction
Term
I am the valley like region that lies directly under the contact area of 2 teeth.
Definition
col
Term
I am a thin layer of bone that lines the socket around the root of a tooth.
Definition
alveolar bone proper/ (aka cribiform plate)
Term
I am the layer of compact bone that forms the hard, outside wall of the mandible and maxilla on the facial and lingual aspects.
Definition
cortical bone is on outside wall on facial and lingual aspects.
Term
I am the most coronal portion of the alveolar process.  usually located 1-2mm apical to the CEJ
Definition
alveolar crest
Term
i am the lattice like bone that fills anterior portion of the alveolar process.
Definition
cancelous bone
Term
I am the layer of connective tissue that covers teh outer surface of bone.
Definition
periosteum
Term
I am the cranial nerve from which the nerve supply to the periodontium intervenes.
Definition
Trigeminal nerve/ 5th cranial nerve
Term
_______ and ____________ we are the two major arteries that supply blood to maxilla and mandible.
Definition
superior alveolar and inferior alveolar arteries
Term
i am an artery who supplies blood to the peridontium through the dental septum.
Definition
interseptal artery
Term
I am a bony socket a cavity in the alveolar bone that houses the root of the tooth.
Definition
alveolus
Term
We are the blood vessels who are located in the free gingiva and the main sources of the blood supply for free gingiva.
Definition
supraperiosteal
Term
we are the blood vessels who supply bloood to the periodontal ligament.
Definition
rami perforantes
Term
we are a fine meshed network of blood vessels located in the connective tissue beneath the gingival sulcus
Definition
dentogingival plexus
