Tissues of Periodontium (Gingiva (Acute Inflammation (rapid development,…

- - - - Larges and most significant fiber group, extends from cementum coronally to bone.
    - - Right angle from long axis of tooth, from cementum to bone.
    - - extends from apical aspect of cementum to the base of the tooth socket
    - - Apical to JE, extends obliquely from cementum to alveolar bone.
    - - multirooted teeth, furcation areas, crest of intrradicular septum to cementum
    - - Extends interproximally over the alveolar crest, embedded in cementum of 2 adjacent teeth (its what is adjusted in ortho)
  - - - maintains position of gingival tissue
      - shock absorbers for nerves and vessels
      - transmits pain, touch and pressure sensation
      - supplies nutrients to periodontal disease
      - resist impact of occlusal forces
      - transmits occlusal forces to bone
      - attaches teeth to bone
- - - - Texture: stippling, edematous, smooth and shiny
      - Contour: Festooned, knife edged, bulbous
      - Extent: localized/generalized
      - Color
      - Distribution: marginal/papillary
    - - pt may be in denial because no obvious signs
      - may not cause pain
      - slow development
      - may appear "normal" w/ stippling
