Anomalies Flashcards
Total Anodontia
Never had any teeth
Partial Anodontia
Never having one or more teeth
Partial Anodontia-Most commonly missing perm. teeth
1) Third molars (especially maxillary)
2) Max LI (1-2%)
3) Mand 2P (1%)
Partial Anodontia-Most commonly missing primary teeth
Mand CI
*Perm Mand CI can be mising too
When/where do extra or supernumerary teeth occur
Maxillary and permanent dentition
Mesiodens
Supernumerary tooth between Max CI
Extra molars may be called
paramolar, distomolar, or fourth molar
T o F: Supernumerary teeth will lead to an excessive number of teeth
False, may just replace a different tooth
What teeth are most commonly supernumerary
1) Maxillary incisor area
2) Third molar area
3) Mand. premolar area
What tooth most likely to have crown malformed?
3rd molar
What teeth may be peg shaped?
Max LI (1-2%) Max CI (Very rare)
Gemination (twinning)
one crown Double in width One root-one pulp chamber one canal *i.e. there are still 4 incisors but can count 5
Fusion
two adjacent crowns fuse
two roots-two pulp chambers
Two canals
*i.e. there are only 3 incisors but can count 4
Gemination and fusion occur in perm or prim dentition
primary usually
Hutchinson’s incisors
aka screwdriver teeth
Caused by congenital syphilis
Have V shape- dont confuse w/ fusion!
Congential syphilis marked by Hutchinson’s incisors as well as ___________?
Mulberry molars
Molars with many tubercles on occlusal
Unusually prominent ridge on facial surface most likely on _____?
Maxillary CI
Types of extra cusps
Tuberculum intermedium-third (middle) lingual cusp on mand. molars
Tuberculum sextum-distal cusp on mand. molars
Talon cusp
Similar to extra lingual cusp but have their own pulp horn
*Must do root canal to remove
What teeth usually affected by macrodontia
Incisors and canines
