chapter 2 Flashcards
anodontia
zero teeth
hypodontia
too few teeth
-uncommon in deciduous dentition, but common in permanent dentition
what syndromes are associated with hypodontia?
- downs
- Crouzon
- ectodermal dysplasia,
- ehlers-danlos
hyperdontia
too many teeth (supernumerary teeth)
what is the most common hyperdontia?
Mesiodens (between 8-9)
followed by distomolar=4th molar, paramolar
hyperdontia is often associated with what syndroms?
- Apert
- Cleidocranial dysplasia
- Crouzon
- gardner
what are the most common areas of hypodontia?
3rd molars 20-23%
2nd premolars
then lateral incisors
hypodontia is more common in what sex and what is the ratio?
more common in females, 1.5:1
hyperdontia is more common in what sex and what is the ratio?
males, 2:1 ratio
which arch is more affected by hyperdontia?
maxilla
natal teeth
teeth present at, or soon after, birth
- prematurely erupted deciduous teeth
- only remove if extremely mobile or causing traumatic ulcerations (Riga-Fede disease. ie the teeth makes ulcerations on infants tongue and moms breast)
which are the most common natal teeth?
mandibular incisors and maxillary incisors
Microdontia
- small teeth
- more common in females
- diffuse (heredity, down, dwarfism) is rare
- isolated is common “peg laterals” then 3rd molars
macrodontia
- more common in males
- diffuse (heredity, gigantism) is rare
- Isolated is also rare
Gemination
attempt of a single tooth bud to divide into two
fusion
union of two normally separated tooth buds into one
-bifid crown with separate root canals
concrescence
union of two adjacent teeth by their cementum
- occurs after development, secondary to inflammation, trauma or nearness during eruption
- often occurs in maxillary molar area
accessory cusps
- cusp of carabelli (ML cusp of 1st max)
- talon cusp
- dens envaginatus
talon cusp
cingulum enlargement on maxillary incisors
dens envaginatus (dens in Dente)
central tubercles on mandibular premolars
- deep invagination of the crown into itself
- most common affected teeth are permanent lateral incisors
- needs to be restored quickly or caries and pulpal pathosis will occur
