attached gingiva continuous with the free gingiva and is the part of the gingiva that is
tightly bound to the underlying cementum on the cervical third of the
root and to the periosteum of the alveolar bone; allows tissues to
withstand forces of mastication, brushing, speech, etc
mucogingival junction clinically visible boundary where the pink attached gingiva meets the
red, shiny alveolar mucosa
free gingiva the unattached portion of the gingiva that surrounds the tooth in the
region of the CEJ also known as unattached gingiva
alveolar mucosa The apical boundary or lower edge of the gingiva it can be
distinguished easily from the gingiva by its dark red color and smooth
shiny surface
Interdental gingiva (papilla) the portion of the gingiva that fills the interdental embrasure between
two adjacent teeth apical to the contact area

stippled gingiva Healthy gingival tissues appearance that is similar to the texture of an
orange
gingival sulcus space between the free gingiva and the tooth surface; measured by a
probe, healthy measures from 1-3 mm
Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) seeps from underlying connective tissue into the sulcular space; little to
none in a healthy sulcus
