PERIODONTAL LIGAMENTS •



o

Contains organelles associates with protein synthesis and secretion

Dense connective tissue between root surface of tooth and alveolar bone proper

o

Prominent actin network

SYNDESMOSES

o

Cell to cell contacts:

o

Joint-like connection between tooth and bone formed by periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone proper

FUNCTIONS: •

o

SUPPORTIVE o



Adherens



Gap junction

FIBRONEX 

Morphologic relationship between

Support tooth in the sockets and permit them to withstand the considerable forces of mastication



Intercellular filaments



Dense cell membrane



SENSORY



Extracellular filaments



For proper positioning of jaws during normal function



Fibronectin



Estimate amount of pressure in mastication



Identify which one of the teeth receives sensation of tapping with instruments o

2 SENSATIONS 



Adjacent to cementum and bone

o

CEMENTOBLASTS

o

Mechanoreceptors for pressure

AFFERENT NERVE FIBERS 

o



Ovoid to cuboidal shape



Basophilic cytoplasm

CEMENTOCLASTS 

Multinuclear cells that resorbs cementum



Located in HOWSHIP’S LACUNAE on cementum



During application of excessive forces in orthodontic tooth movement

OSTEOBLASTS 

Cementum and alveolar bone o

CELLS OF PERIODONTAL LIGAMENTS: •

During phase of active deposition of cellular cementum

Continuous remodeling

NUTRITIVE o



Regulate local blood supply

HOMEOSTATIC o



o

Near cementum, pain perception

RUFFINI-LIKE ENDINGS •



CEMENTOPROGENITOR & OSTEOPROGENTIOR

FREE NERVE ENDINGS OF SENSORY FIBERS •

o



OSTEOCLASTS 

Multinucleated cell observed during highly active phases of bone resorption



Located in HOWSHIP’S LACUNAE in bone

FIBROBLAST o

Principal cells

o

Spindle or disk-shaped with long ovoid •

nuclei

1

Peripheral part of periodontal ligament adjacent to bone

EPITHELIAL CELLS

o

In periodontal ligaments

o

Remnants of HERTWIG’S EPITHELIAL ROOT SHEATH (EPITHELIAL RESTS OF MALASSEZ)

o



From dental cysts by acute or chronic inflammation

UNDIFERENTIATED MESENCHYMAL CELLS (PROGENITOR CELLS) o

Perivascular location within 5µm of blood vessels

o

Source of new cells

o

APOPTOSIS 

o

Selective deletion of ligament cells •

 •



o

Allows turnover without architectural disruption of tissue



Attached to cementum below CEJ and insert into rim of alveolus



Resist vertical and intrusive force and anchor the tooth to the alveolus

HORIZONTAL FIBER GROUP 

Horizontally from cementum to bone



Resist horizontal or lateral pressures applied to tooth crown

OBLIQUE FIBER GROUP 

Most numerous & largest



Running from cementum in oblique direction to bone coronally



Sustain occlusal forces



Resist masticatory forces

Physiologic cell death

MACROPHAGE

o

o

In periodontal ligament, defensive cell

o

Phagocytic, mobile

APICAL FIBER GROUP 

From cementum around the apex at root to the bone forming base of socket (fundus)



Prevents vestibule-oral tipping

LEUKOCYTES o

Appear when stressed by disease

o

INTERRADICULAR FIBER GROUP 

Between bifurcation area to interradicular bone



Resists tipping and torque

CONNECTIVE TISSUE FIBERS •

COLLAGEN FIBER o

Predominant

o

Mixture of type I & type II

o

Fibrils arranged parallel with one another to form collagen fiber

o

FIBER BUNDLE

o

SHARPEY’S FIBER 

o

Permit certain degree of mobility

o

PERIODONTAL SPACE 



Collagen fibers grouped together interwovenly to form fiber bundle o

o

Embedded in cementum

Where periodontal ligaments are located

INTERSTITIAL SPACE

DENTOALVEOLAR GROUP 

Based on origin and insertion in the dentoalveolar process and their functional orientation



Between each group of fibers



INTERSTITIAL TISSUE •

o

ALVEOLAR CREST GROUP

2

Blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics and loose connective tissue cells





Maintain vitality of periodontal ligament



Nociceptors & mechanoreceptors



Most frequent, tree-like configuration

IMMATURE ELASTIN FIBERS o

OXYTALAN FIBERS

o



Acid-resistant



Around root apex



Along collagen fibers, inserted into cementum at cervical region



Mechanoreceptors

o

o

RUFFINI CORPUSCLES

COILED ENDINGS

ELUANIN FIBERS 



ELASTIC FIBERS o



o

ENCAPSULATED SPINDLE-TYPE ENDING

Walls of blood vessels 

Lowest frequency



Root apex



Spindle-like endings surrounded by fibrous capsule

RETICULAR FIBERS o

Support of blood and lymphatic vessels and nerves

o

Adjust lumen of vessels of alveolar bone wall



Mid-region of periodontal ligament

AUTONOMIC SYSTEM

LYMPHATICS •

VASCULAR SUPPLY

Leave periodontal ligament through



SUPERIOR AND INFERIOR ALVEOLAR ARTERIES

o

Gingival tissue



Supplied from 3 sources

o

Alveolar mucosa

o

Volkmann’s canals of alveolar bone

o

Branches from DENTAL ARTERIES

o

Branches of INTERALVEOLAR AND INTERRADICULAR ARTERIES

o

Branches of PERIOSTEAL ARTERIES

NERVE SUPPLY •

SOMATOSENSORY SYSTEM

o

afferent nerve fibers reach the periodontal ligament as terminal branches of superior dentinal plexus (NV1) & inferior dental plexus (NV3) before and during eruption

o

-Rosette Go 031909  Notes by: Lee, Sang Hyun

others pass through CANALS OF ZUCKERKANDL & HIRSSCHFELD in cribriform plate

o



both groups unite at periodontal space into a nerve plexus
