Hi guys,
Can anyone help answer these for me??
-Will we have to know what a fibroblast looks like?
-What is the sublingual caruncle?
-What is malassez?
-What is the crestal contour?
-When it says to generate alveolar bone does this mean that both compact and cancellous bone produce it?
-Do we need to know about the smear layer?
-What foramens do we need to know?
-Do we need to know all the collagen, gingival fibres?
-What does it mean when it says a periodontal ligament continues with connective tissue of the gingiva??
Sorry there are so many questions!! Hope you can understand them!
Thanks,
Beth

Hey Beth.. umm ok sooo A sublingual caruncle is a small papila near the midline of the floor of the mouth on each side of the lingual frenum there is a pic on pg 22 of the head and neck book and info on page 172.
Umm isn't malassez just a type of food,. like a honey kinda thing... lol If that is from the clinic lecture notes then im pretty sure thats what it is talking about coz i remember asking the same question in lecture. :P
IM pretty sure we definatly need to know the gingival fibres and i assume it wouldn't hurt to know about the smear layer.
UMm im pretty sure there is something somewhere in our notes about crestal contour but i cant remember exactly so ill have a look and see what i can find.
Hope this helps a bit. :D
definately gingival & collagen fibres & smear layer. Not sure about others??
Ok guys here it goes:
1. Yes to fibroblast morphology
2. Yes to Neecole's explanation of sub caruncle
3. I had to laugh with this one... Malassez may sound like a type of a honey but they are referring to the Rests of Malassez.. refer to your oral histology books for this one and post the answer on theblog
4. Not sure what Beth means by "generate" alveolar bone... please clarify
5. Yes you need to know about the smear layer and the collagen fibre groups of the gingival tissues
7. The PDL question: this refers to the fact that the horizontal fibres of the PDL and the transspetal fibres of the gingival tissues are continuous with one another... they intermingle.
Hope this helps

LOL... SORRY Beth and everyone else.. i was reading the book today and i saw the Rests of Mallasez thing and i was like OMG how embarasing haha...
