CH5 - Development, Form, and Eruption Flashcards
Week 8
Tooth buds/germs grow during
The sixth week of fetal life in alveolar bone
Buds/germs are small clumps of
Cells that form the tooth tissues
What forms first then second?
Dentin and enamel form first, cementum later
What continues to form through lifetime?
Secondary dentin
Hardening of tooth tissues by the deposition of mineral salts within these tissues is called?
Calcification
Primary teeth calcify by
About 4th to 5th month of fetal life
Permanent teeth begin to calcify by
Age 3 or 4 (age when deciduous teeth are fully formed)
Growth centers where each tooth begins to develop
Developmental lobes
Where does the developmental lobes centers grow from?
Tooth germ
Developmental lobes grow until they
“fuse” or “coalescence”
Point of fusion leaves a
“Developmental groove”
Number of lobes necessary depends on
Type of tooth
How many lobes do incisors have (which kind)?
- 3 facial lobes
- 1 lingual lobe
The 3 labial developmental lobes are called the
- Mesiofacial lobes
- Centrofacial lobes
- Distofacial lobes
The lingual lobe makes up the
Cingulum
Mamelons are evident after the eruption of
Incisor teeth
Mamelons are the ___ ridges of the 3 labial developmental lobes
Incisal ridges
Mamelons are separated by
Developmental grooves
When are mamelons only present?
When incisors first erupt
How many lobes do max & mand premolars have?
- 3 facial lobes
- 1 lingual lobe
