Function and structure of the gums

Dr. Vo Van Nhan, director of Nhan Tam Dental Center, said that the gums are part of the oral mucosa tissues, which surround the teeth and have a protective function. The gums are firmly attached to the jawbone, so they resist the friction of food during chewing. About the structure, the gums include 3 parts:

Free gingiva

This is the gingival part surrounding the tooth neck resembles a ring, limited to the gingiva by a small groove (gumline). This is called the free gingival because it can be separated from the tooth surface by an exploration stick.

  • Gingival sulcus: Letter V shape, it is a small and narrow fissure which is where the tooth and gums contact. Similar to the free gingiva, the gingival sulcus is also surrounded by the teeth. A normal gingival sulcus has a depth of 0-3.5 mm, ideally 0mm. The gingival tissue in the gingival sulcus is very thin and not horned so bacterial are easy to penetrate and cause gingivitis. Therefore, the gingival sulcus is the primary source of gingivitis.
  • Interdental papilla: There are a pyramid shape and the gingival part between the two teeth. Too big or have no interdental papilla is also the loss of aesthetic, causing food to accumulate, creating holes in the interstitial teeth that cause gingivitis.

The important function of the alveolar mucosa is to firmly hold the teeth in the alveolar bone, maintaining the physiological relationship between the teeth and the alveolar bone.
