What is the dento-gingival junction?
The dento-gingival junction is the interface between the tooth and the surrounding gingival (gum) tissue. It plays a crucial role in oral health by serving as a barrier against bacteria and protecting the underlying periodontal tissues. This junction consists of the epithelial attachment, which connects the gingiva to the tooth surface, and the junctional epithelium, which is important for periodontal health. Proper maintenance of this area is essential for preventing periodontal disease.
What is the difference between periodontal and endodontic lesions?
periodontal is of the gum and endodontic is of the root of the tooth itselt
Gingival tissue between the proximal surfaces of adjacent teeth is referred to as what?
Gingival tissue between the proximal surfaces of adjacent teeth is referred to as the interdental papilla. This tissue helps fill the space between the teeth and plays a crucial role in maintaining periodontal health by preventing food impaction and bacterial buildup. Proper hygiene and care are essential to keep the interdental papilla healthy and intact.
What is the significant difference between the attached gingiva and the alveolar mucosa is that the alveolar mucosa is?
not keratinized and, therefore, is more delicate than the gingival tissue
Are the periodontal ligaments within periodontal space?
yes,,periodontal ligament is located within periodontal space, which is located between the cementum and periodontal surface of alveolar bone...
What is the difference between the code for a soft tissue abscess in the musculoskeletal system subsection and the codes for abscess in the integumentary system subsection?
The code in the Musculoskeletal System subsection is associated with deep tissue possibly to the bone.
When does a mucogingival problem exist?
A mucogingival problem exists when there is a discrepancy between the position of the mucogingival junction and the level of the gingival tissue, which can lead to issues such as gingival recession, inadequate keratinized tissue, or a lack of attached gingiva. These problems may result in aesthetic concerns, increased plaque accumulation, and a higher risk of periodontal disease. Clinically, mucogingival problems can be assessed through measurements of tissue dimensions and the relationship between the gingiva and the underlying mucosa. Treatment may involve surgical interventions to restore optimal tissue balance.
Connection between a superiosteal abscess and osteomyelitis - any ideas?
The connection between a superiosteal abscess and osteomyelitis is that they are both conditions of the bones. A superiosteal abscess is found between the periosteum and cortical plate of a bone and osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone.
What is the difference between supragingival and subgingival?
Gingival pertains to the gums. supragingival pertains to the tooth surface above the gum line, and subgingival pertains to the tooth surface below the gum line or neck of the tooth.
An abscess between the testis and anus?
So?
What is the radiographic difference between a granuloma cyst and abscess?
A granuloma is smaller in size less than 4 mm in diameter where as cyst is a sequela of granuloma so it is larger in size.
How do you measure periodontal depth?
Periodontal depth is measured using a periodontal probe, which is a calibrated instrument with markings that indicate millimeter measurements. The probe is gently inserted into the sulcus or pocket between the tooth and gum to determine the depth of the space. Measurements are taken at several points around each tooth to assess the health of the periodontal tissue and identify any signs of periodontal disease. This assessment helps in diagnosing the severity of gum conditions and planning appropriate treatment.
