What gingival tissue is an extension of attached gingiva and fills in the area between the teeth apical to their contact areas to prevent food impaction?

Interdental Papillae
Attached gingiva is found between the:

Alveolar mucosa and the marginal gingiva
After the tooth crown has emerged into the oral cavity, the part of the reduced enamel epithelium (REE) which remains near the CEJ after the tooth erupts is hencefortpart referred to as the:

Junctional epithelium
epithelium] is loosely packed with few desomosomes so white blood cells can permeate it.

Junctional Epithelium

Reversible
The presence of large amounts of calculus in the gingival sulcus may be expected to:
