Ienpäätteellä

Ienpäätteellä is a Finnish term that translates to "with the gum end" or "at the gum end." It is most commonly used in dentistry and relates to the junction between the gum tissue and the tooth. When discussing dental procedures or conditions, ienpäätteellä can refer to the area where the gum tissue meets the tooth root, particularly at the gingival margin.

This region is crucial for maintaining oral health. Inflammation or disease in this area, such as gingivitis or periodontitis, can affect the stability of the teeth. The ienpäätteellä is also a focus during dental examinations and cleanings, as it is where plaque and tartar tend to accumulate. Understanding the condition of the ienpäätteellä is a key part of assessing a patient's periodontal health.
