Symptoms of disease - pain in the gum

Gum - the mucous membrane covering the alveolar process of the upper jaw and alveolar part of the lower jaw and the covering of the teeth in the neck area. Outside european borders with the alveolar mucosa (covering the alveolar process). This line has the form of a wavy line and is well traced due to the fact that the departments of the mucous membranes differ in their colour. The membrane covering the alveolar process, more vivid, as is paved with epithelium, through which is well visible blood vessels of its own plate.

Desna, covered with epithelium, more pale, has a matte finish. Inside the gum enters the mucous membrane of the boundary area of solid sky or the bottom of the cavity of mouth.

From the clinical and physiological points of view in the gum are distinguished: interdental (gingival) papilla, the gums, or gingival edge (free gum), alveolar gum (a part of), mobile gum.
Attached part of the gums firmly adherent with periosteum of alveolar crest of jaws. Its surface wave due to the rotation of elevated land and water channels. The latter correspond to the deep epithelial scallop, immersed in his own record of mucous membrane. Waviness the surface of a more pronounced in men, swelling in it

The free part of the gums - the edge - free adherent to the tooth surface and separated from it only by a narrow slit (gingival furrow). It loose attached to the periosteum and possesses a certain mobility. Dividing line between the free and attached gingiva is gingival groove going in parallel gingival edge at a distance of 0.5-1.5 mm and the level roughly corresponding to the bottom of the gingival furrows or lying apical her. Free gum in the neck tightly adherent to the tooth, attached is a densely grows together with the periosteum with the help of connective tissue fibres.

Gingival interdental papillae - areas of the gums of the triangular form, filling up the gaps between adjacent teeth. Between the surface of the tooth and gingival edge there is a slit-like workspace (groove) , the depth of 1-1,5 mm is the gingival sulcus. It is lined with epithelium, attach to the cuticle of the enamel (epitheliomatous attachment). In norm the bottom of the gingival furrows is at the level of enamel-cement connection, but with age, it deepens. Clinically gingival sulcus is a gap between the healthy gum and tooth surface, its foundation is in place intact connection epithelium with a tooth.

Desna subject to continuous mechanical loads in the process of chewing, which is reflected on the peculiarities of its structure of connective tissue and epithelium. The gum is covered with multi-layered flat epithelium, which in the gingival sulcus goes in the epithelium of the furrow, the epithelium of the attachment and loses the stratum corneum
