gypsum made of? types? - Precise Answer ✔✔calcium sulfate
hemihydrate; type I - rarely used, plaster of paris, type II - ortho casts,
not very strong, type III - dentures, type IV - use for stone dies, type V -
stone dies, most popular today
PDL types of elastin - Precise Answer ✔✔No mature elastin, 2 types of
immature: oxytalan (regulates vascular flow, parallel to root surface) and
eluanin
attached gingiva - narrowest bands - Precise Answer ✔✔buccal mand
canines and 1st premolars, lingual mand incisors and canines
Junctional epithelium - Precise Answer ✔✔2 basal laminas (internal
faces the tooth) and external (faces the connective tissue)
Proliferative cell layer - responsible for most cell divisions and located
next to external basal lamina
,long junctional epithelium - Precise Answer ✔✔refers to junctional
epithelium in disease, as JE gets longer and moves apically the coronal
portion detaches
ANUG (acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis) - Precise Answer
✔✔treponema denticola (spirochete), predominately neutrophils
involved
First cells involved in acute inflammation (start of gingivitis) - Precise
Answer ✔✔Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs)
Acute inflammation - Precise Answer ✔✔vascular phase (mast cells,
basophils and platelets release histamine) and cellular phase (PMNs,
then eventually macrophages)
main cell components of chronic inflammation - Precise Answer
✔✔polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMLs)
pregnancy gingivitis has increased levels of - Precise Answer
✔✔prevotella intermedia
Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis - Precise Answer ✔✔At least *3*
permanent teeth other than the *1st molar* and *incisors* are involved
, Localized aggressive periodontitis - Precise Answer ✔✔-Disease that
begins at age 11 to 13 with strong familial tendency
- attachment loss at first molars and incisors
- AA bacteria
Hyperthyroidism - Precise Answer ✔✔Graves disease - most common,
goiter and exopthalmos
Plummer's disease - multiple adenomas of the thyroid gland,
exopthalmos is rare
Hypothyroidism - Precise Answer ✔✔myxedema - puffiness of face and
eyelids, swelling of tongue and larynx
cretinism - in a child, severe mental retardation, large tongue, under-
developed mandible, over-developed maxilla, delayed teeth eruption and
deciduous teeth retained longer
hyperparathyroidism - Precise Answer ✔✔common complaint of kidney
stones; osteoporosis and giant cell granulomas, usually caused by
adenoma but could occur if there is excessive loss of calcium in the
urine (parathyroid will increase in size to compensate)
Clinically - cystic bone lesions(Recklinghausen's)
Hypoparathyroidism - Precise Answer ✔✔usually due to accidental
excision during thyroidectomy, congenital (DiGeorge's syndrome)
