Tension theory: Suggests that collagen fibres of the PDL stretch under load, transmitting forces to alveolar bone.

Shock conduction theory: Proposes that the PDL acts mainly as a medium to conduct forces to alveolar bone, which serves as the true shock absorber.

Viscoelastic theory: Considers the PDL as a viscoelastic material, dissipating forces through both elastic and viscous properties.

Thixotrophic theory: Not a recognized mechanism for PDL shock absorption; relates to fluid viscosity changes under stress.

Dilantin therapy (Phenytoin) 


 Mechanism: Phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth (PIGO) is fundamentally a non-inflammatory process where the drug directly stimulates gingival fibroblasts to produce excessive collagen and ground substance (a fibrotic, hyperplastic response).

The buccal marginal gingiva receives its main blood supply from the supraperiosteal vessels, which are located above the periosteum (a layer of connective tissue that covers the bone). These vessels are part of the periodontal ligament's blood supply and provide nutrients to the superficial tissues of the gum
