The junctional epithelium provides a protective barrier between plaque biofilm and connective tissue., Both statements are true., Both statements are false., The first statement is true; the second is false., The first statement is false; the second is true., All of the following are functions of gingival fibers, except:, they connect adjacent teeth to one another to control tooth position., they prevent plaque biofilm from entering the gingival connective tissue., they provide the gingiva with the rigidity needed to withstand frictional forces during chewing., they connect the gingiva to the underlying cementum and alveolar bone., Which group of fibers encircles the tooth in a ring-like manner?, Alveologingival, Circular, Intergingival, Transgingival, Which groups of fibers attach the gingiva to bone?, Alveologingival, periosteogingival, Intergingival, transgingival, Alveologingival, intergingival, Circular, intercircular, All of the following are functions of the periodontal ligament, except:, it attaches the tooth to the bony socket., it provides sensory and nutritive functions., it unites free gingiva with cementum., it contains osteoclasts that can resorb bone., The ends of periodontal ligament fibers that embed in bone and cementum are known as:, interradicular fibers., Sharpey’s fibers., rete pegs., endpoint fibers, All of the following are functions of cementum, except:, it seals (covers) the dentinal tubules., it attaches periodontal fibers to the tooth., it lines the bony sockets and protects the roots of teeth., it compensates for loss of tooth tissue caused by attrition., Which statement about the cementum/enamel relationships is false?, The relationships are collectively abbreviated as OMG., All of the various arrangements can be present in any one tooth., The arrangement that leaves a gap may cause discomfort during instrumentation., When the cementum overlaps enamel, it causes a periodontal pocket., One of the differences between cementum and alveolar bone is that:, cementum has no blood vessels and nerves; alveolar bone does have blood vessels and nerves., after bone is resorbed, it can reform, but after cementum is removed, it cannot reform., Sharpey’s fibers attach periodontal fibers to alveolar bone, but do not attach periodontal fibers to cementum , Which structure is the part of the maxilla and mandible that forms and supports the sockets of the teeth?, Cementum, Basal lamina, Basement membrane, Alveolar process, Osteoblasts are cells that initiate mineralization of bone. Osteoclasts remove mineral materials from bone , Both statements are true., Both statements are false., The first statement is true; the second is false., The first statement is false; the second is true, Without cementum, there can be no tissue reattachment after scaling and root smoothing. For enhanced healing, it is necessary to remove bacteria-laden cementum during subgingival instrumentation., Both statements are true., Both statements are false., The first statement is true; the second is false., The first statement is false; the second is true., A(n) __________ locks a cell and its cytoskeleton to its neighboring cell or to the basal lamina, connective tissue, cell junction, alveolar process, hemidesmosome, Which principal fiber group of the periodontal ligament is located closest to the crown of a tooth?, Apical fibers, Interradicular fibers, Alveolar crest fibers, Horizontal fibers, Which structure separates the gingival fibers from the enamel of a tooth?, Desmosome, Cementum, Internal basal lamina, External basal lamina.
