What is the part of the tooth above the gums?
The part of the tooth above the gum is the sulcus this is the neck of the tooth.
Where do bacteria grow on teeth?
Without adequate oral hygiene, bacteria can grow anywhere on a tooth. However, the most common areas are the sulcus (space between the tooth and gum) interproximal (between the teeth) and in the grooves of the biting surface.
What is part of the tooth above the gum?
The part of the tooth above the gum is the sulcus this is the neck of the tooth.
Where does cell renewal of junctional epithelium take place?
Cell renewal of junctional epithelium takes place at the base of the epithelium through cell division and migration from the basal layer towards the surface. This process occurs in the gingival sulcus, the space between the tooth surface and the epithelial tissue.
What is the hard surface of tooth called?
The hard surfce on the surface of a tooth is enamel.
Is a resin one surface anterior a tooth cleaning?
A resin one surface anterior is a tooth colored filling on a front tooth.
How many surfaces on the tooth are probed to determine the sulcus debth?
To Determine the depth of the sulcus , six sites are probed. There are three sites on the facial, including mesiofacial, mid facial, and disto facial, and three sites on the lingual, including mesiolingual, mid lingual, and disto lingual.
What is the surface of the tooth called which normally contacts the tooth immediately anterior to it in the dental arch?
The surface of the tooth that normally contacts the tooth immediately anterior to it in the dental arch is called the "mesial" surface. This surface faces the midline of the dental arch and is key in maintaining proper alignment and function of the teeth. In contrast, the surface that faces away from the midline is referred to as the "distal" surface.
What is the surface of the tooth farthest from the midline called?
The surface of the tooth farthest from the midline is called the distal surface. It is the side of the tooth that is oriented away from the center of the dental arch, opposite to the mesial surface, which is closest to the midline. This terminology is used in dentistry to describe tooth positions and surfaces for better communication and treatment planning.
What is transseptal fiberotomy surgery?
The supraosseous connective tissue attachment is surgically severed around the involved teeth. Where there are adjacent teeth, the transseptal fiberotomy of a single tooth will involve a minimum of three teeth. Since the incisions are within the gingival sulcus and tissue and the root surface is not instrumented, this procedure heals by the reunion of connective tissue with the root surface on which viable periodontal tissue is present (reattachment).
What has happened when the gum exposes the one tooth?
It depends. Is the gum erosion on the buccal (cheek) side of the tooth, and is the dentin (root) exposed? That could be caused from using too hard of a toothbrush You should always use a SOFT toothbrush, and use gentle circular motions at the sulcus (2mm part of the gum that is around the neck of the tooth)
What is The surface of the tooth that faces towards the hard palate?
Labial surface
