gingival margin

The gingival margin and dorsum of the tongue are almost never affected.

There may be a dark melanotic line along the gingival margin found normally in African-Americans.

The only anatomical landmark experiencing migration is the gingival margin in a coronal direction.

Abfraction is a form of non-carious tooth tissue loss that occurs along the gingival margin.

HIV gingivitis presents as an intensely red, linear band at the gingival margin.

The free gingival margin is the interface between the sulcular epithelium and the epithelium of the oral cavity.

In implant dentistry, running room refers to the apico-coronal distance between the platform of a dental implant and the gingival margin.

LGE is limited to the soft tissue of the periodontium, appearing as a red line 2-3 mm in width adjacent to the free gingival margin.

Gingival recession is when there is an apical movement of the gingival margin away from the biting (occlusal) surface.

Healthy gums hold tight to each tooth in that the gingival surface narrows to "knife-edge" thin at the free gingival margin.

The paper describes 5 conditions which are given as follows: chronic marginal gingivitis The presence of erythema, glazing or swelling of the free gingival margin.

It is apically bounded by the junctional epithelium and meets the epithelium of the oral cavity at the height of the free gingival margin.

Day White, for instance, can also be used as an at-home tooth whitening material, provided the trays are trimmed to the gingival margins, and modified instructions are given.

A groove in the gingival margin, known as a floss cleft, can form after repeatedly using floss incorrectly along the mesial and distal surfaces of the tooth.

The gingival margin, or free gingival crest, at the most superficial part of the marginal gingiva, is also easily seen clinically, and its location should be recorded on a patient's chart.

I placed the teeth in an improved position and raised the gingival margins on the denture; also I made what seems to be a cross between a gum fit and a flanged section.

The depth of the sulcus (Latin for groove) is bounded by two entities: apically by the gingival fibers of the connective tissue attachment and coronally by the free gingival margin.

The interdental papilla, also known as the interdental gingiva, is the part of the gingiva that exists coronal to the free gingival margin on the buccal and lingual surfaces of the teeth.

Gingival recession, also known as receding gums, is the exposure in the roots of the teeth caused by a loss of gum tissue and/or retraction of the gingival margin from the crown of the teeth.

There is a small gap or crevice between the gingival margin and the enamel, called the gingival crevice.2 Gingival crevicular fluid seeps into this crevice and may play a role in the prevention of infection.

Techniques Putty and Light The recommended technique is to syringe the Doric Light around the gingival margins whilst the mixed Doric Putty is loaded into the impression tray so that both materials set together.

If the swelling is over the area of the root apex, it is more likely to be a periapical abscess; if it is closer to the gingival margin, it is more likely to be a periodontal abscess.

Gingivitis was determined by whether a site bled within 30 sec of gentle probing, BOP [ 26 27 ] and pocket depth by measuring the distance (mm) from the free gingival margin to the base of the sulcus or pocket.

Thus, if the entire height of the keratinized gingiva, from the free gingival margin to the mucogingival junction is 8 mm, and the probing depth on the tooth at that location is 2 mm, the effective width of attached gingiva is 6 mm.

The most common location by far is the gingival margin and other areas of the masticatory oral mucosa, these occur more frequently in the fifth decade of life, and have good prognosis, the treatment of choice for oral VXs is surgical excision, and recurrence is rare.
