Jan 1, 2021 · The firmness characteristics of attached gingiva is determined by the collagenase nature of connective tissue and its adherence to the underlying muco-periosteum. Elongated papilla gives good...

Apr 10, 2017 · This document discusses the anatomy, measurement, and clinical significance of the attached gingiva. It notes that the attached gingiva extends from the base of the gingival sulcus to the mucogingival junction. The normal width is 3-4.5mm in the maxillary anterior region but narrower in other areas.

Jan 7, 2018 · The document discusses attached gingiva, defining it as the portion of gingiva that extends from the base of the gingival crevice to the mucogingival junction. It describes the width and thickness of attached gingiva, noting it varies between 1-9mm wide and has an average thickness of 1.25mm.

There are various methods of locating the mucogingival junction namely the functional method and the visual method with and without histochemical staining, which aid in the measurement of the width of attached gingiva.

Oct 30, 2023 · The attached gingiva is the gingival tissue which lies between the mobile gingiva and the alveolar gingiva. It is four to five millimeters in width and is irremovable from the underlying structures without causing damage.

Jan 5, 2015 · The gingival tissue that tightly adheres to the bone around the roots of the teeth is the attached gingiva. The gingival tissue between adjacent teeth is an extension of attached gingiva and is the interdental gingiva, forming the interdental papillae.

Attached gingiva is a part of keratinized gingiva which aids in periodontium to increase resistance to external injury and contribute in stabilization of gingival margin against frictional forces and also aids in dissipating physiological forces exerted by the muscular fibers of the alveolar mucosa on the gingival tissues.For many years the ...

attached gingiva that portion of the gingiva which is firm and resilient and is bound to the underlying cementum and the alveolar bone, thus being immovable. Called also alveolar gingiva. free gingiva the portion that surrounds the tooth and is not directly attached to the tooth surface.

The attached gingiva of the maxillary and mandibular arches is visually examined using both direct and indirect vision. The tissues should appear pale pink and homogenous in color and texture (Figure 55). Following the visual examination, the attached gingiva is palpated using a digital technique as shown in Figure 56.

There is a need to modify the definition of attached gingiva (AG) as it applies to healthy and diseased teeth and implants. There are two parts to this new definition: Part A is when the biologic width is supracrestal (epithelial attachment and gingival fibers) and is attached to a …
