  1. before erupton of the tooth and after enamel maturation, which cells secrete a basal lamina on the surface that serves as a portion of the primary epithelial attachment
    ameloblasts
  2. the attached gingiva and buccal mucosa are mainly pinkish in color and not reddish due to the what?
    increased thickness of the epithelial layers
  3. Where does cell renewal of the junctional epithelium take place?
    basal layer of the tissue
  4. The free gingival groove separates the attached gingiva from the_________
    marginal gingiva
  5. List the 3 medications that can cause gingival hyperplasia

    • cyclosporines
    • nifedipine
  6. gingival recession is measured from the______to the___________
    • cementoenamel junction
    • free gingival margin
  7. What stops your probe when inserted into the gingival sulcus?
