Anomolies Flashcards
what tissues are interacting in week 6 of tooth development?
epithelium and ectomesenchyme
when is bud stage?
week 8
what stage of tooth development results in disruption that is seen on clinic?
bud stage at week 8
when is cap stage?
week 11
when do layers form in tooth development?
cap stage at week 11
when is bell stage?
week 14
what are the 5 classifications of anomalies?
quantity
size and form
formation disturbances
hereditary disturbances of structure
other
how do you differentiate developmental and environmental anomalies?
Developmental – affect all the teeth as they require the same gene expression
Environmental – will only affect teeth that were developing at the time when the environmental factor was an issue
what are the 3 quantitative developmental disorders?
anodontia/ hypodontia
hyperdontia
what is hypodontia?
missing teeth due to failing to develop
what are the 2 types of hypodontia?
anodontia
oligodontia
what is anodontia?
total lack of teeth in one or both dentitions
- no alveolar bone
what is oligodontia?
more than 6 primary or permanent teeth are absent
aetiology of hypodontia?
genetic, environmental or both
sometimes single-gene disorders
what syndromes is hypodontia associated with?
trisomy 21 (down syndrome)
ectodermal dysplasia
what do people with ectodermal dysplasia not have?
sweat glands
what are supernumerary teeth?
additional teeth
where do you find mesiodens?
midline
peg shaped teeth
what do supplemental teeth look like?
normal teeth
what is a risk associated with conical supernumeraries?
if they dont erupt they could migrate towards the nose
what skeletal dysplasia disorder may lead to supernumerary teeth?
cleidocranial dysostosis
what gene switches on and allows teeth to develop?
MSX1
what are the size and shape anomalies?
microdontia
macrodontia
dens en dente
talon cusp
