  2. Interdental papilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interdental_papilla

    The interdental papilla, also known as the interdental gingiva, is the part of the gums (gingiva) that exists coronal to the free gingival margin on the mesial and distal surfaces of the teeth. The interdental papillae fill in the area between the teeth apical to their contact areas to prevent food impaction; they assume a conical shape for the ...

  3. Reduced affect display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_affect_display

    Blunted affect is a lack of affect more severe than restricted or constricted affect, but less severe than flat or flattened affect. "The difference between flat and blunted affect is in degree. A person with flat affect has no or nearly no emotional expression. They may not react at all to circumstances that usually evoke strong emotions in ...

  4. Dental papilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_papilla

    The primordium contains each of the primordial tissue types, essential for the development of successive teeth. These primordial tissues together form the enamel organ, dental papilla and dental sac. Also during the cap stage is the formation of a depression within the deepest part of each tooth bud of the dental lamina. The dental lamina is a ...

  5. Angularis nigra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angularis_Nigra

    Angularis nigra, Latin for 'black angle', also known as open gingival embrasures, and colloquially known as "black triangle", is the space or gap seen at the cervical embrasure, below the contact point of some teeth. The interdental papilla does not fully enclose the space, leading to an aperture between adjacent teeth. [1]

  6. Periodontology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontology

    The central point between the interdental papillae is called the col. It is a valley-like or concave depression that lies directly beneath the contact point, between the facial and lingual papilla. [6] However, the col may be absent if there is gingival recession or if the teeth are not contacting.

  7. Oral mucosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_mucosa

    The dense layer is the deeper layer of the lamina propria. It consists of dense connective tissue with a large amount of fibers. Between the papillary layer and the deeper layers of the lamina propria is a capillary plexus, which provides nutrition for the all layers of the mucosa and sends capillaries into the connective tissue papillae. [10]

  8. Dental anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anatomy

    The dental papilla contains cells that develop into odontoblasts, which are dentin-forming cells. [3] Additionally, the junction between the dental papilla and inner enamel epithelium determines the crown shape of a tooth. [2] The dental follicle gives rise to three important entities: cementoblasts, osteoblasts, and fibroblasts. Cementoblasts ...

  9. Human tooth development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth_development

    The dental papilla contains cells that develop into odontoblasts, which are dentin-forming cells. [2] Additionally, the junction between the dental papilla and inner enamel epithelium determines the crown shape of a tooth. [1] Mesenchymal cells within the dental papilla are responsible for formation of tooth pulp.
