The periodontium is made up of the gingiva (gums), periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. Together, these components support and anchor the teeth in the jawbone.
The periodontium is made up of four main tissues: gingiva (gum tissue), alveolar bone (bone that surrounds and supports the teeth), cementum (outer layer of the tooth root), and periodontal ligament (connective tissue that attaches the tooth to the bone).
The subunit that makes up fat is called triglyceride.
Cellulose makes up the cell wall in plants.
Ribosomal RNA with ribosomal proteins makes up the ribosomes.

Periodontium- is the area immediately around the teeth. It is made up of the gums, periodontal ligament, and jawbone....Pulp is the tissue that contains the blood vessels and nerves of a tooth. Pulp extends into the root canal and provides nourishment to the tooth....
Hydroxyapatite is the primary mineral component of alveolar bone in the periodontium. It provides strength and rigidity to the bone structure.

The periodontium: alveolar bone and the periodontal structures
the periodontium is the area immediatly around the tooth.
The periodontium is made up of four main tissues: gingiva (gum tissue), alveolar bone (bone that surrounds and supports the teeth), cementum (outer layer of the tooth root), and periodontal ligament (connective tissue that attaches the tooth to the bone).
periodontitis 1. Inflammation of the periodontium. 2. A chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontium occurring in response to bacterial plaque on the adjacent teeth; characterized by gingivitis, destruction of the alveolar bone and periodontal ligament, apical migration of the epithelial attachment resulting in the formation of periodontal pockets, and ultimately loosening and exfoliation of the teeth.
It is generally accepted that increasing age is the main time in which periodontium breakdown occurs. Whether this is due to the increased susceptibility of periodontal conditions, the change in plaque composition, or the reaction to plaque composition change is unknown. Another factor are endopeptidases called collagenase, which breaks down collagen in gingival crevicular fluid.
