Q

Explain pre-eruptive tooth movement

A
  • movement of successional tooth germs
  • developing anterior permanent teeth move into position behind the roots of primary teeth
  • developing premolars move into position between roots of primary molars
  • lack of space causes occlusal surfaces of maxillary molar germs to face backwards - once maxilla grows, repositioning occurs

Q

Explain eruptive tooth movement

A
  • requires remodelling of all periodontal tissue
  • final tooth position in jaw is determined by muscle and occlusal forces acting on erupted teeth
  • tooth eruption, emergence (through alveolar bone and gingiva - tooth partially erupted), clinical emergence
  • in primary teeth, there is root reabsorption (in addition to alveolar bone resorption) and exfoliation - shedding of primary teeth

Q

Give the root resorption patterns

A
  • root resorption of primary incisors and canines occurs from lingual side, results in an intact pulp chamber at exfoliation
  • root resorption of primary molars occurs in occlusal direction, results in resorption of pulp chamber, coronal dentine and sometimes enamel

Q

What happens in coronal dentine resorption?

A
  • monocytes migrate from pulp to dentine surface and fuse with other cells to form odontoclasts
  • begin to resorb dentine from pulp outwards
  • odontoblasts regenerate towards end of root resorption
  • resorption ceases before exfoliation occurs and cementum like tissue forms along coronal dentine

  • find lower 6
  • if crown complete, over 3
  • bifurcation of root is around 4.5
  • if unerupted less than 6
  • if roots incomplete less than 9
  • confirm by looking at upper 6
  • find lower 7
  • if crown complete, then more than 6.5 yrs
  • root bifurcation calcifies at 8.5
  • unerupted means more than 12 ish
  • if root incomplete, around 15
  • confirm by looking at upper 7
  • look for evidence of calcification of 8 (around 8-10 years but crypt visible from 6)
  • look degree of eruption of incisors (some variation) lower 1 and 2 can erupt at same time
  • lower 1 6-7 yrs, lower 2 7-8 yrs, upper 1 erupts 7-8, upper 2 erupts 7.5-8.5 yrs
  • confirm by checking degree of development or eruption of 5s, 4s and 3s
66
Q

Why do dentists need to know eruption?

A
  • knowing the normal to recognise the abnormal (age/sequence/position)
  • estimate dental age (measure of growth) - number of erupted teeth indicates age
