A set of midterm terms and definitions related to dental embryology, histology, and anatomy. It covers a wide range of topics, including the different layers and structures of the periodontium, such as cementum, alveolar bone, the periodontal ligament, and the gingiva. The terms are presented in a concise and organized manner, likely serving as a study guide or reference material for a dental or medical program. The document could be useful for students preparing for exams, as it provides a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and terminology in this field. Additionally, the document may be relevant for researchers or professionals in the dental or medical fields who need a quick reference on the various anatomical structures and their functions within the oral cavity.
Typology: Exams
1 / 3
Acellular Cementum - ANSFirst layer of cementum deposited without embedded ceentocytes Alveolar Bone Proper (ABP) - ANSBone lining alveolus Alveolar Crest - ANSMost cervical rim of alveolar bone proper Alveolar Crest Group - ANSAlveodental ligament subgroup originating in alveolar crest to insert into cervical cementum; 1 Alveolar Process - ANSDental arch or tooth-bearing part of each jaw that contains alveoli Alveolodental Ligament - ANSMain principal fiber group with subgroups: alveolar crest, horizontal, oblique, apical, and interradicular Apical Group - ANSAlveolodental ligament subgroup radiating apically from cementum to insert into alveolar bone proper; 5 Articulation - ANSBones join together at? Basal Bone - ANSPart of jaws that forms the body of the maxilla or mandible Canaliculi - ANSTubular canals in both bone and cementum Cellular Cementum - ANSOuter layers of cementum that contain embedded cementocytes Cemental Caries - ANSShallow carious lesion of cementum Cemental Spurs - ANSSymmetrical spheres of cementum attached to the root surface Cementicles - ANSMineralized bodies of cementum either attached to root or free in periodontal
ligament Cementoenamel Junction (CEJ) - ANSTooth anatomy where crown enamel and the root cementum are close Cortical Bone - ANSPlates of compact bone on facial and lingual surfaces of alveolar process Edentulous - ANSDentition with either partial or compete loss of teeth Gingival Fiber Group - ANSFiber groups within gingiva that have no bony attachments Horizontal Group - ANSAlveodental ligament subgroup originating in alveolar bone proper to insert horizontally into cementum; 2 Hypercementosis - ANSExcessive production of cellular cementum Interdental Ligament - ANSPrincipal fiber subgroup that inserts interdentally into cervical cementum of neighboring teeth Interdental Septum - ANSAlveolar process between two neighboring teeth Interradicular Group - ANSAlveodental ligament subgroup on multirooted teeth inserted on cementum of one root to cementum of other root(s); 3 Interradicular Septum - ANSAlveolar process between the roots of some tooth Lamina Dura - ANSRadiopaque line representing alveolar bone proper Mesial Drift (Physiologic Drift) - ANSNatural movement of teeth over time toward the midline of the oral cavity Oblique Group - ANSAlveolodental ligament subgroup originating in alveolar bone proper to extend apically and obliquely to insert into cementum; 4 Periodontal Ligament (PDL) - ANSLigament surrounding the teeth that supports and attaches them to alveoli bony surface
Periodontal Ligament Space - ANSRadiolucent area representing periodontal ligament on radiographs Periodontium - ANSSupporting hard and soft dental tissue between and including parts of tooth and alveolar process Periosteum - ANSOuter part of bone is covered by? Principal Fibers - ANSCollagen fibers organized into groups on the basis of orientation to tooth and related function Sharpey Fibers - ANSCollagen fibers from periodontal ligament partially inserted into both cementum and bone Supporting Alveolar Bone (SAB)
