Difference between ameloblast and odontoblast
Ameloblast: Lays down enamel
Odontoblast: Lays down dentin
What makes a stem cell a stem cell?
Pleuripotent and ability to self-replicate
In other words, be able to self-renew and differntiate into at least 3 different cell types
T/F
Prostaglandins inhibit tooth movement.
They make pain fibers less likely to fire
False (Promote tooth movement)
False (More likely to fire)
T/F
Thyroxine and parathyroid hormone decrease/have inhibitory effect on rate of tooth movement
False. Promote tooth movement
Decreased bone loss in presence of active perio disease is due to what?
The inflammatory response prevents osteoblast activity and only osteoclasts are active
Why is there a greater break down of bone in patients with gingival inflammation?
a. Osteoporosis
b. Higher prostaglandin levels
c. Higher phosphatase levels
b. Higher prostaglandin levels
During orthodontic tooth movement, which of the following cells are not present in the hyalinized zone?
a. Cementoblasts
b. PMN’s
c. Macrophages
d. Fibroblasts
e. Osteoclasts
Osteoclasts
T/F
Osteoclasts are from hematogenous origin
Osteoblasts from mesenchyme
True
True
Which of the following doesn’t affect gingival response and fibroblasts?
Neocytokine
T/F
PDL regenerates twice as much as gingiva
False, same turnover
Which of the following does not increase during tooth movement
a. IL-1
b. Interferon gamma
c. TNF-beta
d. Neocytokine
Neocytokine
Does not increase and therefore not involved in gingival response or found in gingival turnover
Which gingival fibers are responsible for orthodontic relapse
Supracrestal
T/F
Collagen fibers in the PDL are inelastic
True
Tongue comes from which branchial arch?
1st and 3rd
2nd arch atrophies
At what week in embryo does the tongue form?
4 weeks
What does the lateral nasal process form?
The alae of the nose
What processes make up the primary palate
Maxillary and Medial nasal processes
What processes make up the secondary palate?
Outgrowth of maxillary process –> palatal process
The median nasal process forms what structures?
Intermaxillary segment -->philtrum of upper lip Primary palate (with maxillary process)
The maxillary process forms what structures?
Cheeks, Lateral aspects of upper lip
Primary palate & Secondary palate
