Epithelium

v6

The junction of the epithelium is what is beneath the sulcus, and it’s completely attached to your enamel, and sometimes momentum. That is completely keratinized so that’s why you have a thicker tissue, a firm tissue you don’t bleed that much when you will have it. That will help you to protect the underlying tissues. It means that it will protect the collars around the teeth.

The junctional epithelium is just something that is attached to your teeth. This endurance is from collagen, junction is attached to the tooth surface using internal basal lamina. It’s well attached to your teeth. When you lose this attachment when bacteria just went through this attachment, destroying it. So this is what you need sometimes to go to the dentist to treat this kind of infection.
