Q

what is the pulp

A

centre of the tooth

20
Q

what is the pulp derived from

A

ectomesechyme

21
Q

describe the pulp

A

soft vital connective tissue
odontoblast cells line the outside of the pulp
occupies pulp chamber in crown and root canals

22
Q

what covers the tooth root

A

cementum

23
Q

what is cementum derived from

A

ectomesenchyme

24
Q

mineralisation of cementum

A

55% mineral

25
Q

where is acellular cementum

A

towards the crown of the tooth

26
Q

where is cellular cementum

A

towards the apex of teh tooth

27
Q

what is found in cellular cementum

A

cementocytes in lacunae

28
Q

name the periodontal tissues

A

periodontal ligament
alveolar bone
gingiva

29
Q

what is PDL derived from

A

ectomesenchyme

30
Q

what is the alveolar bone

A

part of mandible and maxilla which supports the tooth roots and creaes the tooth socket

31
Q

what does the alveolar bone do

A

form anchor for PDL fibres

32
Q

what does alveolar bone respond to

A

loading

33
Q

gingivae in health

A

pale pink
thick
keratinised
adjacent to cervix of tooth

34
Q

oral mucosa in health

A

red
lines oral cavity
stretches
found in low abrasion areas

35
Q

type of epithelium of gingivae

A

stratified sqamous keratinised

36
Q

purpose of gingivae

A

form protective region where teeth pierce epithelium

37
Q

oral mucosa epithelium

A

stratified squamous

can be keratinised

38
Q

dentition types for humans

A

primary

permanent

39
Q

how many teeth in primary

A
20
2 incisors
1 canine
2 molars 
ABCDE
40
Q

Permanent dentition

A

16 teeth

41
Q

quadrants for permanent/primary

A

1-4

5-8

42
Q

what does the PDL do

A

connects cementum of tooth to the

  • alveolar bone
  • adjacent teeth
  • gingivae
43
Q

why do fibres go in different directions

A

supports the root of the tooth within the socket

help bring the tooth back uo after pressure is allied

44
Q

what reforms during orthodontic treatment

A

PDL (apart from the end inserted into the cementum as the cementum doesnt remodel)

45
Q

composition of the PDL

A

dense fibrous tissue
collagen with formative fibroblasts interspersed, neurovaualr bundles
- arranged in different orientations to absorb masticatory load

46
Q

types of forces applied to the tooth

A

axially (down towards the apex)
rotational
tiliting
