Anomalies Flashcards
intrinsic vs extrinsic vs congenital?
common examples?
intrinsic= hereditary, genetic (missing tooth, peg lateral) extrinsic= physical/chemical trauma, nutrition (flourosis) congenital= before birth, intrinsic or extrinsic causes (syfolis)
adontia is? hypodontia? oliogodontia?
adnodontia= missing ALL teeth; rare and congenital hypodontia= missing one or more oligodontia= missing 6 or more
commonly missing adult teeth?
3rd molars (especialy maxillary)
2nd mandibular PM
maxillary lateral incisors
(sometimes primary mandibular incisor and permanent mandibular central incisor)
supernumerary or accessory teeth?
Determined in what stage?
mesidens or distodens
genetic (BUD STAGE)
mesiodens vs distodens
BOTH accessory teeth
mesiodens= maxillary midline
distodens= posterior third molar
is a impacted tooth considered missing?
No
two types of abnormal sized teeth?
morphodifferentition disturbance; single or few teeth, changes size of teeth
1) macrodontia
2) microdontia
what is true macrodontia? false?
true= gigantism false= incisors, canines, and mandibular 3rd molars
what is true microdontia? false?
true= dwarfism false= maxillary lateral incisors (peg laterals) and maxillary 3rd molars
what stages are disturbed to get abnormal crown and root shape?
disturbances of morphodifferentiation and appositional stages during the bell stage
taurodontism
affects molars and premolars
crown greater proportion of tooth
No distinct root or CEJ
long pulp chamber and tiny roots/canals
dilaceration
nonlinear tooth form where BOTH crown and root are affected; caused by trauma/pressure or just exists
flexion
nonlinear form of ROOT ONLY with sharp bends; caused by trauma/pressure
gemination
- incomplete splitting of a ONE tooth bud
* twinning is complete separation - will have a notch or groove as indication on crown
- wide mesialdistal dimension
- incisor most common
fusion
union of TWO tooth buds
- ***SEPARATE PULP CHAMBERS (and typically two roots)
- combined BOTH enamel and dentin
- large mesiodistal deminsion
- can occur anywhere but common in anterio
concrescence
union of the root cementum ONLY, occurs after tooth eruption
segmented root
break in dentinogenesis, possible cause of root death
dwarfed root?
Most common tooth?
- small roots
- max incisor most common
- curved crowns, but doesn’t mean it is smaller
- hereditary but can occur due to orthodontic
hypercementosis
excessive cememtum buildup due to trauma, pulpal inflammation and metabolic causes
*mostly on molars, crown looks normal (only affects root)
talon cusps
an accessory cusp typically found on incisors, heredity
