groove
The part of the tooth above the gum is the sulcus this is the neck of the tooth.
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.
The part of the tooth above the gum is the sulcus this is the neck of the tooth.
The hard surfce on the surface of a tooth is enamel.
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.
A resin one surface anterior is a tooth colored filling on a front tooth.
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.
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).
Labial surface
distal surface.
The root of a healthy tooth has an outside surface called cementum.
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)
