8. Regressive changes of teeth; pulpitis, gingivitis and paradentitis Flashcards
regressive changes of teeth
enamel hypoplasia/hypomineralisation
chronic flourine toxicosis
acquired odontoporosis
porodontia
cories
parodontosis
pigmnetation
cementum hyperplasia
cause of enamel hypoplasia
decrease ameloblast cell activity
ameloblast degeneration
enamel hypoplasia
decreased odontoblast activity
local cause of hypoplasia
injury
hypocalcification
why are Ru most at risk of chronic flourine toxicosis
near aluminium smelters & fertilisers
what do aluminium smelters contain
cryolite which causes the degeneration of ameloblasts and odontoblasts
result of chronic flourine toxicosis on teeth
yellow, brown discolouration
erosions in enamel
result of chronic flourine toxicosis in bones
Ca metabolism is disturbed
osteomalacia
osteodystophia fibrosa
exostoses in adults
rickets in young
what is odontoporosis
lacunar resorption of dentin thus decreasing quality & solidity of teeth
what is porodontia
constant wearing of teeth
spontaneous opening of pulp cavity
what is caries
a disease of the calcified tissues of teh teeth due to actions of carbs and microorganisms
predisposition of caries
food prones to fermentation
mistakes in the teeth structure
where does caries starts
at tooth/ oral cavity junction –> chronic progression into deep tooth layers
is there in inflammation in caries
no
what happens to inorganic portion in caries
decalcification
what happens to organic portion in caries
disintegration
