Ch 2 - Abnormalities of Teeth 3 Flashcards
Defined as an attempt of a single tooth bud to divide
gemination
The union of two normally separated tooth buds with the resultant formation of a joined tooth with confluence of dentin
fusion
The union of two teeth by cementum without confluence of the dentin
concresence
People argue that gemination, fusion, and concresence should be discontinued and replaced with this term:
twinning (lol)
A single enlarged tooth or joined (i.e., double)
tooth in which the tooth count is normal when the anomalous tooth is counted as one
Gemination
A single enlarged tooth or joined (i.e., double) tooth in which the tooth count reveals a missing tooth when the anomalous tooth is counted as one.
Fusion
Which population has a higher prevalance of “double teeth” (fusion/gemination) compared to whites?
Asian
Gemination is more common in the ______ arch , whereas
fusion tends to occur more frequently in the ______ arch.
gemination = maxilla….fusion = mandible
Accessory cusp located on the palatal surface of the mesiolingual cusp of a maxillary molar…Prevelence in whites? asians?
cusp of Carabelli..90% whites, rare in Asians
Accessory cusp on the mesiobuccal cusp of a mandibular permanent or deciduous molar
protostylid
A well-delineated additional cusp that is located on the surface of an anterior tooth and extends at least half the distance from the CEJ to the incisal edge
talon cusp
Most common tooth for a talon cusp
permanent maxillary lateral incisor
4 ethnicities for talon cusp
- Asian 2.Native Americans 3. Inuit 4. Arab descent
6 disorders associated with a talon cusp (so freaking random)…which one has the strongest correlation?
- Rubinstein-Taybi syn(strongest: 92%) 2. Mohr syn 3. Ellis-van Creveld syn 4. incontinentia pigmenti achromians 5. Berardinelli-Seip syn 6. Sturge-Weber angiomatosis
A cusplike elevation of enamel located in the central groove or lingual ridge of the buccal cusp of premolar or molar teeth
Dens evaginatus
What is a Leong premolar?
an alternate term for dens envaginatus
Which arch has a marked predominance for dens evaginatus?
mandibular
4 ethnicities for dens evaginatus
1-4 % prev 1. Asians 2. Inuit 3. Native Americans 4. rare in whites
Dens evaginatus is seen in association with what other tooth variation?
shovel-shaped incisors
Shovel-shaped incisors occur predominantly in Asians,
with a prevalence of approximately 15% in whites but close to 100% in what 2 groups?
Native Americans and the Inuit
What is the alternate term for Dens Invaginatus?
dens in dente
Which tooth is most commonly affected by dens invaginatus?
perm max lat incisors
What is the term for a dens invaginatus that disturbed the formation of the tooth?
dilated odontome
_______ dens invaginatus is rare and thought to arise
secondary to a proliferation of Hertwig root sheath, with the formation of a strip of enamel that extends along the surface of the root.
Radicular
What is the most common tooth affected by enamel pearls?
maxillary permanent molars
What is the % range for prevelence of enamel pearls? Which ethnicity is most affected?
1.1-9.7%….Asians
