Junctional Epithelium Attachment :]

Hey guys, could someone please tell me how the junctional epithelium is attached to both the tooth surface and the lamina propria?

thanks!

Epithelial-Connective Tissue Interface

This is the boundary where the two tissues (ET + CT) meet or "mingle".
The epithelial ridges (retae ridges) reach down into the CT and CT papillae (extensions of CT) extend up to the epithilium.
Well i was just wondering if this clinically appears as stippling?
Thanks

<3 Thu huu and nicole. :D

hey guys ok thu huu adn i had a lil study session today and we have a few questions that we were both unsure of and we just wanted to see what other people have said for these.. OK

- are the bones in the skull flat or irregular.. or neither.. ?

- Q9 of the oral histology workbook (draw a tabl of the structural variations of the oral mucosa) is this asking aboutt hemastictatory/lining/specialised mucosa... somethingsimilar to the table on Page 135 of bath balogh coz w weren't sure.

-Q10 of the Oral Hist. workbook... what is everyone drawing for this... I just draw the gingia against the tooth and labelled the JE the sulcular epith. The Oral epith the attached ging.free ging etc.... Is this what it is meant to be or have i interpreted it differently. ??

-What muscles would experience pain in associatin with overuse of the TMJ... We both had different answers and couldn't really jutify any of them :P

-Pre dentine.. is this the same as manytle dentine and circumpulpal dentine?? What is a definition for pre dentine and where is it coz we started confusing ourselves.

-Why is the tongue considered a specialised mucosa?? we had just described the appearance of the tongue and where it is specialised( taste buds) etc but didn't really think this answered the question???

- The periodontla ligament blood supply... Does this have anything to do with the PDL being continuous with the CT of the Gingiva?? but confused..

-Q7(PDL nad alveolar bone) trace the blood supply through the alveolar bone.. we both just had big ?.... where can we find info on this.. what should it be???

Thanks heaps guys
Hope its all good.
C yas Monday . :D

lingual papillae the same as caruncle?

study study study

Hey guys... i just have a few clarification questions that im a bit confused with.
OK
I have been working through the revision workbook and with Q4. it is asking about enamel rods and interrods. I think i understand the structure etc but is someone able to give me a general overview of this structure etc just to help me understand.

With aprismatic enamel i know it is in deciduous teeth and in the mostinner and most outer layer of permanent teeth. but is that in all permanent teth or is is just those that are forming early?? I think it is in all but not sure.

Age changes that occur in pulp. I just said it becomes smaller with age(more dentine etc) and also that there is a decrese in the number of cells which affects ability to do stuff properly(lol im too lazy to type the explainations :D ) but are there any others that i have missed.

Thanks guys. Happy Revision. :D

A Few Questions

Here's just a few questions I've come across which I'm finding difficult to answer, any input would be much appreciated!

How is prismless enamel formed?
Why does the number of melanocytes vary between regions of the oral mucosa?
Describe the duct structure of the minor salivary glands.
Explain the process of keratinisation.
Identify the components and function of the crevicular fluid?

Thanks,
Keep up the study

Question

Does anyone know what a pseudopod is? and its function?
Sorry the question was mean't to say what is a pseudopocket not pod? & function?
