Oral Histology Oral Histology Lec.14 Dr. Nada AL-Ghaban Types of oral mucous membrane 1-Masticatory mucosa During mastication, parts of oral mucosa are subjected to forces & pressure like in Gingiva and Hard Palate GINGIVA Is a masticatory mucosa and covers the alveolar process of the jaw and surrounds the neck of the teeth. The gingiva extends from the dentogingival junction to the alveolar mucosa. The stratified squamous epithelium may be keratinized or non- keratinized but most often it is parakeratinized. TYPES OF GINGIVA:-The gingiva is divided into three types: A)Free or unattached or marginal gingival B) Attached gingiva. C) Interdental papilla A) Free or unattached or marginal gingiva:- It is that part of the oral mucosa that surrounds the necks of the teeth and forms the free margin of the gingival tissue. It is differentiated apically from the attached gingival by the free gingival groove. The inner side of it forms the gingival sulcus. B) Attached gingiva: The attached gingiva lies between the free gingival groove and the alveolar mucosa.The junction of the attached gingiva and the alveolar mucosa is called mucogingival junction . In healthy mouth attached gingiva shows stippling (orange-peel appearance) which is a characteristic of this type of mucosa. C) Interdental Papillae : 1 Part which extends between two teeth up to the contact point is called interdental papillae. It has a ‘facial side’ and a ‘lingual side’ . It’s margins are concave. Due to inflammation, interdental papillae looses it’s concavity COL : Connecting facial and lingual side of the interdental papilla (on proximal side) is an epithelial structure called COL. It’s concave shape means, gingiva is healthy. It becomes dome shaped, in gingival recession and inflammation. It is covered by non keratinized stratified epithelium. Gingival fibers :- Collagen fibers arranged in strong bundles that bind attached gingiva to the alveolar bone & tooth. They arise from the cervical area of cementum and from the outer surface of alveolar process (gingival group of p.d.l. fibers which are previously discussed in PDL lecture)which are divided into the following groups: 1- Dentogingival:Its fibers run from cervical cementum to lamina properia of gingiva 2-Dentoperiosteal :-Its fibers run from cementum to periosteum 3-Alveologingival:-Its fibers run from alveolar crest bone to lamina properia of gingiva 4-Circular: this small fibers run in circular arrangement around the tooth 5-Transseptal :the fibers run from cervical cementum of one tooth to cementum of adjacent tooth. MICROSCOPIC FEATURES OF GINGIVA Gingiva is made up of epithelium and connective tissue. The gingival epithelium can be studied under three headings:- Outer or oral epithelium(keratinized or parakeratinised ) , Sulcular epithelium & Junctional epithelium(non keratinised ). Oral epithelium: Faces the oral cavity, which covers the free and attached gingiva, its either keratinized or parakeratininized stratified squamous epith. The epith. ridges are long , slender-like and numerous, lacks separating submucosa 2 layer so its immovably attached to bone and teeth by coarse collagen fibers and has no glands. Sulcular epithelium : Faces the tooth without contacting it. Thin non-keratinised stratified squamous epithelium (no granulosum and corneum layers), extends from the coronal end of the junctional epithelium to the crest of the gingival margin. Acts as a semi-permeable membrane. Junctional epithelium : Provides contact between gingiva & tooth. Stratified squamous non-keratinised epithelium. 3-4 cells thick in early life, increasing to 10-20 later. Derived from the reduced enamel epithelium . Attachment to tooth by inner basal lamina . Attachment to gingival connective tissue by outer basal lamina. Hard palate :- The m.m. of the hard palate is fixed tightly to the underlying periosteum ,so its immovable. Its color is pink. In the palate there are grooves and ridges, all appeared to be adaptation to resist the force of mastication. The epith. is uniform in character throughout the hard palate, with a rather thick, firm and stratified squamous keratinized or parakeiratinized with numerous long papillae. The lamina properia is thicker in the anterior than in the posterior parts of the hard palate. Various regions in the hard palate differ because of the varying structure of the submucous layer, so the following zones can be distinguished: 1-Palatine gingiva: Adjacent directly to the teeth which is similar to the previously described gingiva but mucogingival junction is not present. 2- Median palatine raphe: Extends from the incisive papilla posteriorly. In median palatine raphe, it is difficult to differentiate between lamina propria & submucosa. Radiating from this raphe, transverse folds called palatine rugea which is formed of dense C.T. covered by epithelium. 3 3- The anterolateral area (fatty zone) :This area present between the raphe & the gingiva anteriorly. Its lamina propria is fixed to periosteum by bands of fibrous C.T. dividing the submucosa into compartments containing fat cells. 4- The postero-lateral area (glandular zone) : Present posterior to the fatty zone. The submucosa contains pure mucous glands. The fatty and glandular zones act as cushion. The C. T. of hard palate is thick anteriorly than posteriorly. Submucosa are present in Fatty zone and Glandular zone. Epitheial rete pegs are tall & numerous Mucosa 2-Lining Mucosa: Present in areas not subjected to high levels of friction but is mobile & distensible Firmly attached to underlying muscles like Soft Palate , Lip , Cheek , Ventral Surface of tongue. Loosely attached to underlying structures as bone, fascia or muscle like Floor of mouth , Vestibule and Alveolar Mucosa. 1-Alveolar mucosa: Its red, shiny and covering the alveolar bone separating from attached gingiva by mucogingival junction(Figure-3) . Its movable (loosely attached to periosteum by a loose well-defined sub mucosa contain mucous minor salivary glands. The epith.is thin, stratified squamous non keratinized and the papillae are low and often entirely missing. 2-Lip : We can recognize 3 parts of lip: Oral Mucosa of the lip covered by non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium .Minor salivary glands are present in the sub mucosa and fibers of orbicularis oris muscle are noted also. Vermillion zone of the lip is very thin keratinized epithelium that contains no adnexal skin structures (can contain sebaceous glands). 4 What gives the vermillion zone the red color? Epithelium is thin Epithelium contains eleidin, which is transparent semi-fluid clear substance present in the lamina lucida of the skin epithelium . Blood vessels are present near the surface eleidin. 3-Soft palate: The mucous membrane on the oral surface of the soft palate is highly vascularized and reddish in color, noticeably differing from the pale color of the hard palate. The papillae of the connective tissue are few and short. The stratified squamous epithelium is nonkeratinized. The lamina propria shows a distinct layer of elastic fibers separating it from the submucosa. The latter is relatively loose and contains an almost continuous layer of mucous minor salivary glands.: 3-Specialized mucosa: Dorsal surface of the tongue is rough and irregular divided into anterior ⅔ or body of the tongue and posterior ⅓ or base of the tongue by V-shaped lined called terminal sulcus. The body and the base of the tongue differ widely in the structure of the m.m. The anterior part can be termed as papillary and the posterior part the lymphatic portion. On the anterior part are found numerous papillae which are: 1-Filiform papillae: Makes up majority of the papillae and covers the anterior part of the tongue. They appear as slender, threadlike keratinized projections. These papillae facilitate mastication (by compressing and breaking food when tongue is apposed to the hard palate) and movement of the food on the surface of the tongue. The papillae is directed towards the throat and assist in movement of food towards 5 that direction. The covering epith. is keratinized, these papillae does not contain taste buds. 2-Fungiform papillae: Interspersed between the filiform are the isolated mushroom-shaped or fungiform papillae , which are round reddish prominences. Their color is derived from a rich capillary network visible through the relatively thin epith. Fungiform papillae contain a few taste buds 3-Circumvallate papillae: 8-10 vallate papillae in front of the V-shaped sulcus between the body and the base of the tongue connected to the substances of the tongue is at their narrow base, its free surface shows numerous secondary papillae that are covered by a thin, smooth epith. On the lateral surface of the papillae the epith. contains numerous taste buds. 4-Foliate Papilla: (Leaf-like). Present on the lateral margins of the posterior tongue.Consist of 4 to 11 parallel ridges that alternate with deep grooves in the mucosa and a few taste buds are present in the epithelium. They contain serous glands underlying the taste buds which cleanse the grooves. Taste Buds: Unique sense organs that contain the chemical sense for taste. Microscopically visible barrel-shaped bodies found in the oral epithelium.Usually associated with papillae of the tongue (circumvallate, foliate and fungiform). Also seen in soft palate, epiglottis, larynx, and pharynx.Referred to as neuroepithelial structures. But most correctly referred as epithelial cells closely associated with clib-shaped sensory nerve endings. These nerves arise from the chorda tympani in anterior tongue and glossopharyngeal in posterior tongue and come to lie among the taste cells. Each taste bud has 10 -14 cells. Majority are taste cells with elongated microvilli that project into the taste pore. (Epiglottis and larynx – Vagus nerve). 6 4 taste sensations: Sweet, salty, sour and bitter Sweet and salt: anterior tongue Sour: lateral tongue Bitter: region of circumvallate papillae. AGE CHANGES IN ORAL MUCOSA 1-Oral mucosa of an elderly patient has a smoother and dryer surface than younger patient, due to dry therapy or any systemic diseases. • 2- Epithelium appears thinner histologically.

  • Selecting Different Approaches for Palate and Pharynx Surgery
    SPECIAL ISSUE 4: INVITED ARTICLE Selecting Different Approaches for Palate and Pharynx Surgery: Palatopharyngeal Arch Staging System Rodolfo Lugo-Saldaña1 , Karina Saldívar-Ponce2 , Irina González-Sáez3 , Daniela Hernández-Sirit4 , Patricia Mireles-García5 ABSTRACT The examination of the anatomical structures involved in the upper airway collapse in patients with the obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a key for integrated evaluation of patients. Our proposal is for a noninvasive classification system that guides us about the presence of anatomical differences between the palatopharyngeal muscle (PFM). The functions of the PFM are narrowing the isthmus, descending the palate, and raising the larynx during swallowing; these characteristics give the PFM a special role in the collapse of the lateral pharyngeal wall. Complete knowledge of the anatomy and classification of different variants can guide us to choose the appropriate surgical procedures for the lateral wall collapse. Until now there is not a consensus about description of the trajectory or anatomical variants of the PFM into oropharynx, the distance between both muscles, and the muscle tone. Here we also present the relationship between the lateral wall surgeries currently available (lateral pharyngoplasty by Cahali, expansion sphincteroplasty by Pang, relocation pharyngoplasty by Li, Roman blinds pharyngoplasty by Mantovani, and barbed sutures pharyngoplasty by Vicini) with the proposed classification of the palatopharyngeal arch staging system (PASS).

  • Long-Term Uncontrolled Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis: a Case Report
    Long-term Uncontrolled Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis: A Case Report Abstract Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare condition characterized by varying degrees of gingival hyperplasia. Gingival fibromatosis usually occurs as an isolated disorder or can be associated with a variety of other syndromes. A 33-year-old male patient who had a generalized severe gingival overgrowth covering two thirds of almost all maxillary and mandibular teeth is reported. A mucoperiosteal flap was performed using interdental and crevicular incisions to remove excess gingival tissues and an internal bevel incision to reflect flaps. The patient was treated 15 years ago in the same clinical facility using the same treatment strategy. There was no recurrence one year following the most recent surgery.

The biologic width around tooth and implants is also an important consideration from treatment point of view. In the following review we have discussed the importance of junctional epithelium and biologic width around teeth and implant and the factors that influence the peri-implant biologic width.

Introduction Teeth are trans-mucosal organs. This is a unique association in the human body where a hard tissue emerges through the soft tissue. Epithelia exhibit considerable differences in their histology, thickness and differentiation suitable for the functional demands of their location.1 The gingival epithelium around a tooth is divided into three functional compartments– outer, sulcular, and junctional epithelium. The outer epithelium extends from the mucogingival junction to the gingival margin where crevicular/sulcular epithelium lines the sulcus. At the base of the sulcus connection between gingiva and tooth is mediated with junctional epithelium.

  • Feline Dentistry: Cats Are Not Small Dogs Matt Lemmons, DVM, DAVDC Medvet Indianapolis Carmel, IN
    Basics for Practitioners: Oral Anatomy and Pathology Matt Lemmons, DVM, DAVDC MedVet Indianapolis Carmel, IN Dentistry is truly a branch of medicine and surgery. A strong knowledge of normal anatomy and pathology is cornerstone to adequate diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the oral cavity. The majority of oral related disease is inflammatory (periodontal disease) or traumatic (fractured teeth, orthopedic injuries) in nature. However other causes are not rare and need to be recognized. The basic dental unit is the tooth and surrounding periodontium. The tooth consists of the crown and root. The crown is covered in enamel and the root by cementum. Deep to the crown and cementum is the dentin. Dentin is a porous hard tissue which continuously grows toward the center of the tooth as long as the tooth is vital. Deep to the dentin is the pulp which consists of nerves, blood vessels, connective tissue, fibroblasts and odontoblasts. The periodontium is composed of the cementum, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and gingiva. The periodontal ligament serves to anchor the cementum to the alveolar bone, act as a shock absorber and aid in sensation. The gingiva is attached to the bone (attached gingiva), tooth by connective tissue and the most apical extent is not attached and is known as the free gingiva. The potential space between the free gingiva and tooth and ending apically at the sulcular epithelium is the gingival sulcus. In health this should be less than 3mm in depth in dogs and 1mm in cats. When addressing the teeth and periodontium, directional nomenclature is not similar to directional nomenclature of the rest of the body.

    DEFINITION OF ANATOMIC SITES WITHIN THE HEAD AND NECK adapted from the Summary Staging Guide 1977 published by the SEER Program, and the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual Fifth Edition published by the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging. Note: Not all sites in the lip, oral cavity, pharynx and salivary glands are listed below. All sites to which a Summary Stage scheme applies are listed at the begining of the scheme. ORAL CAVITY AND ORAL PHARYNX (in ICD-O-3 sequence) The oral cavity extends from the skin-vermilion junction of the lips to the junction of the hard and soft palate above and to the line of circumvallate papillae below. The oral pharynx (oropharynx) is that portion of the continuity of the pharynx extending from the plane of the inferior surface of the soft palate to the plane of the superior surface of the hyoid bone (or floor of the vallecula) and includes the base of tongue, inferior surface of the soft palate and the uvula, the anterior and posterior tonsillar pillars, the glossotonsillar sulci, the pharyngeal tonsils, and the lateral and posterior walls. The oral cavity and oral pharynx are divided into the following specific areas: LIPS (C00._; vermilion surface, mucosal lip, labial mucosa) upper and lower, form the upper and lower anterior wall of the oral cavity. They consist of an exposed surface of modified epider- mis beginning at the junction of the vermilion border with the skin and including only the vermilion surface or that portion of the lip that comes into contact with the opposing lip.
