Q
  1. Which is prefunctional stage of eruption?
A

L: YES! Here, Hertwig’s root sheath outlines the root dentin.

R: No, the prefunctional stage begins with the formation of root dentin. Here, there is no sign of root dentin.

Q
  1. T/F: The reduced enamel epithelium becomes the primary junctional epithelium during the prefunctional stage of eruption.
A

True. The REE is attached to the tooth surface, and as the junctional epithelium it remains attached to the tooth surface.

Q
  1. The permanent first molar marked by the arrow is in which stage of eruption?
A

Prefunctional. Root dentin formation is in evidence.

17
Q
  1. The tooth is in which stage of eruption?
A

Preemergence

18
Q

Amelogenesis occurs during which of the following stages of eruption?

A

Preemergence. Enamel foramtion is completed by the end of this stage of eruption.

19
Q

T/F: Exfoliation is the term used to describe the movements a tooth makes to attain and maintain its position in the jaw.

A

False, eruption.

20
Q

Epithelial rests of Malassez are rudiments of which of the following structures?

A. reduced enamel epithelium
B. cervical loop
C. diaphragm
D. Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath

A

D. Yes, this is their origin. They become entrapped in the PDL during the prefunctional stage of eruption.

21
Q

A

A

23
Q

What is the direct cause of the physiologic elimination of teeth?

A. tention
B. pressure
C. cellular activity
D. traction

A

**C **by odontoclasts

24
Q
  1. Odontoclast, Dentin, Cementum
A

Cementum
Dentin
Odontoclast

25
Q

Which of the listed cells are responsible for the physiological resorption of tooth tissues?

A. osteoclasts
B. fibroclasts
C. odontoclasts
D. A & C

A

A. not resorptive cells of tooth tissues.
B. No, they resorb, lysis, pulp tissue, but not the mineralized tissues.
C. They resorb mineralized tissues of tooth, but not pulp tissue.
D. Yes! Both cell types are responsible for the resoprtion of tooth tooth tissues.

26
Q

Which of the following tissues are subject to physiological resorption? (More than one correct answer.)

A. enamel
B. dentin
C. cementum
D. pulp

A
  • *A. Yes,** during shedding.
  • *B. Yes,** during shedding.
  • *C. Yes,** first tissue during shedding.
  • *D. Yes,** undergoes resorption or lysis by action of fibroclasts during shedding.
27
Q

The stem cells for odontoclasts originate in which of the following sites?

A. periodontal ligament
B. lamina propria of the gingiva
C. periosteum of alveolar process
D. bone marrow

A

D

28
Q

T/F: Permanent teeth do not undergo resorption.

A

False, they are subject to resorption, but not physiological resorption. Its conditional.

29
Q

From knowledge of odontogenesis, which primary teeth are first to start and complete shedding?

A. incisors
B. canines
C. first molars
D. second molars

A

A. Yes, they are the first to: begin formation, emerge into oral cavity, start shedding, and complete shedding.

30
Q

Physiologically, shedding starts on which anatomic side of a primary tooth?

A. facial
B. distal
C. apical
D. lingual

A

C. No, this is the side where the shedding moves from its initial side, ending site.
D. Yes, this is where odontoclasts are first seen.
