Transgingivaalisesti

Transgingivaalisesti is a Finnish term that refers to the portion of the tooth that lies beneath the gumline. This area of the tooth is not visible when a person smiles or speaks, and it is not directly exposed to the oral environment. Transgingivaalisesti is an important aspect of dental anatomy, as it plays a crucial role in the overall health and function of the tooth.

The roots of the tooth, which extend transgingivaalisesti, are covered by a thin layer of cementum. This layer serves as an attachment site for the periodontal ligament, a group of tissues that connects the tooth to the surrounding bone. The roots of the tooth are designed to be in contact with one another, and with the surrounding bone, to provide additional support and stability.

Transgingivaalisesti is an area of interest for dental professionals due to its association with periodontal diseases. The presence of plaque and tartar in this area can lead to inflammation and infection of the tissues surrounding the tooth, ultimately resulting in the loss of the tooth. Maintenance of good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and cleaning, is essential to prevent the accumulation of plaque and tartar in this area and to promote overall oral health.

Treatment of dental issues affecting transgingivaalisesti often involves the use of periodontal probing to assess the extent of gingival recession. Dental restorations or implants may also be required to replace missing root structure or correct bite problems. Regular follow-up appointments with a dental professional are necessary to monitor the health of the transgingivaalisesti area.
