    OpenStax-CNX module: m66361 1 The Anatomy of the Gum* Marcos Gridi-Papp This work is produced by OpenStax-CNX and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 Abstract The gingiva is the part of the masticatory mucosa that surrounds the teeth and extends to the alveolar mucosa. It is rmly attached to the jaw bone and it has keratinized stratied squamous epithelium. The free gingiva is separated from the tooth by the gingival groove and it it very narrow. Most of the gum is the attached gingiva. The interdental gingiva occupies the cervical embrasures in healthy gums but periodontal disease may cause it to receede. Gingival bers attach the gums to the neck of the tooth. They also provide structure to the gingiva and connect the free to the attached gingivae. Figure 1: Maxillary gingiva of a dog. More details1. This chapter is about the gums, which are also called gingivae (singular gingiva). The text will describe the structure of the gingiva and explain its role in periodontal diseases, from gingivitis to abscesses in humans and other mammals. *Version 1.1: Mar 3, 2018 8:43 pm -0600 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 1https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Bull_Terrier_Chico_05.jpg http://cnx.org/content/m66361/1.1/ OpenStax-CNX module: m66361 2 1 Structure The gingiva is part of the masticatory mucosa2 of the mouth.

  • Literature Review
    LITERATURE REVIEW PERIODONTAL ANATOMY The tissues which surround the teeth, and provide the support necessary for normal function form the periodontium (Greek peri- “around”; odont-, “tooth”). The periodontium is comprised of the gingiva, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and cementum. The gingiva is anatomically divided into the marginal (unattached), attached and interdental gingiva. The marginal gingiva forms the coronal border of the gingiva which surrounds the tooth, but is not adherent to it. The cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) is where the crown enamel and the root cementum meet. The Marginal gingiva in normal periodontal tissues extends approximately 2mm coronal tothe CEJ. Microscopically the gingiva is comprised of a central core of dense connective tissue and an outer surface of stratified squamous epithelium. The space between the marginal gingiva and the external tooth surface is termed the gingival sulcus. The normal depth of the gingival sulcus, and corresponding width of the marginal gingival, is variable. In general, sulcular depths less than 2mm to 3mm in humans and animals are considered normal1. Ranges from 0.0mm to 6.0mm 2 have been reported.. The depth of a sulcus histologically is not necessarily the same as the depth which could be measured with a periodontal probe. The probing depth of a clinically normal human or canine gingival sulcus is 2 to 3 mm2 1. Attached gingiva is bordered coronally by the apical extent of the unattached gingiva, which is, in turn, defined by the depth of the gingival sulcus. The apical extent of the attached 1 gingiva is the mucogingival junction on the facial aspect of the mandible and maxilla, and the lingual aspect of the mandibular attached gingiva.

  • Oral Histology Lec.1 Lab.1 Preparation of Histological Specimens
    Oral Histology Lec.1 Lab.1 Dr.Munir Nasr Preparation of histological specimens Histology (compound of the Greek words: histo “tissue”, and logy “science”) is the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues of plants and animals. It is commonly performed by examining cells and tissues by sectioning and staining, followed by examination under a light or electron microscopes. Histological studies may be conducted via tissue culture, where live cells can be isolated and maintained in a proper environment outside the body for various research projects. The ability to visualize or differentially identify microscopic structures is frequently enhanced through the use of histological stains. The steps of sample preparations: 1. Tissue fixation 2.Tissue processing 3. Tissue cutting or sectioning 4. Tissue staining Tissue fixation Fixation is a complex series of chemical events that differ for the different groups of substance found in tissues. The aim of fixation: 1- To prevent autolysis and bacterial attack. 2- To fix the tissues so they will not change their volume and shape during processing. 3 - To prepare tissue and leave it in a condition which allow clear staining of sections. 1 4 . To leave tissue as close as their living state as possible, and no small molecules should be lost. Fixation is coming by reaction between the fixative and protein which form a gel, so keeping everything as their in vivo relation to each other. Factors affect fixation: -PH. -Temperature. -Penetration of fixative. -Volume of tissue. According to previous factors we can determine the concentration of fixative and fixation time. Types of fixative: Acetic acid, Formaldehyde, Ethanol, Glutaraldehyde, Methanol and Picric acid.
