3/2/17 Eruption and Shedding TEST #3 Flashcards
What phase of physiologic tooth movement deals with the positioning of tooth germs prior to eruption?
-Preeruptive
What phase of physiologic tooth movement deals with the movement of the tooth into functional occlusion?
-Eruptive
What phase of physiologic tooth movement deals with the movements in compensation for the growth of the jaws/wear. Meant to keep the tooth in occlusion.
-Posteruptive
What phase of physiologic tooth movement deals with the programmed loss of the primary teeth to make way for the permanent dentition?
-Shedding
What is an Avulsion?
-An extreme example of non physiologic tooth movement (punched in the face or falling on your face)
Where do the successional dental lamina form?
-Lingual to primary tooth germs
T/F AS the mandible/maxilla grow, tooth germs have to shift around
True
What are two possibilities of how the tooth germ moves?
- The whole tooth germ moves
- Directional growth
Where do pre eruptive movements take place?
-Boney crypts
What are pre eruptive movements associated with?
- Bone resorption
- Bone deposition
T/F Eruptive tooth movements are axial or occlusal
True
The fusion of what two structures create an epithelium lined channel through which the tooth emerges?
- REE
- Oral epithelium
T/F Permanent successional tooth forms in a second bony crypt under the primary tooth
True
There is a channel which develops between the alveolar bone around the primary tooth an the permanent tooth as it erupts. What is the name of this canal?
-Gubernacular canal
What erupts through the gubernacular canal?
-Permanent tooth
