what part of the periodontium that is attached to the root surface
The gingiva appears prominent over the tooth root and may have a slightly concave appearance in the inter-proximal area. â¢ Consistency: Gingiva is generally firm to the touch and attached to the underlying bone and/or tooth. â¢ Surface texture of periodontium: Gingiva may have either a smooth or stippled surface.Stippling is not an indicator of health nor is the absence of stippling an indicator of disease.he special part of the functional epithelium that actually provides the attachment is called the epithelial attachment. This attachment consists of a lamina Lucida, lamina dense, and hemidesmosomes. Connective tissue in periodontium: The predominantly collagenous tissue found beneath the epithelium.
