periodontal membrane

A hypothesis for entry of the fungus in the body is through periodontal membrane.

They were first described by Fullmer & Lillie (1958) in periodontal membranes.

An artificial periodontal membrane, used to block the spread of growing epithelium after periodontal surgery.

Periodontal membrane may refer to:

When braces put pressure on one's teeth, the periodontal membrane stretches on one side and is compressed on the other.

"the total periodontal membrane area of the abutment teeth must equal or exceed that of the teeth to be replaced."

"the length of the periodontal membrane attachment of the abutment tooth should be at least one half to two thirds of that of its normal root attachment".

It is defined as an odontogenic cyst of Inflammatory origin that is preceded by a chronic periapical granuloma and stimulation of cell rests of malassez present in the periodontal membrane.

This blood clot is replaced with granulation tissue which consists of proliferating fibroblasts and endothelial cells derived from remnants of the periodontal membrane, surrounding alveolar bone and gingival mucosa.
