Chapter 2 Flashcards
Acanthomatous ameloblastoma
proliferating epithelial cells of dental origin. they tend to invade bone, which makes dental radiographic evaluation ad aggressive surgery imortant
Alveolar mucositis
inflammation of alveolar mucosa.
Amelogenesis imperfecta
an abnormality of enamel formation, including genetic and/or developmental enamel formation and maturation abnormalities such as enamel hypoplasia and enamel hypomineralization
Anodontia
the absence of teeth
Attrition
the wearing away of a tooth resulting from the friction of teeth against each other
Avulsion
complete displacement of the tooth from the socket
Buccoversion
a premolar or molar tooth that is in its anatomically correct position in the dental arch but which is abnormally angled in a buccal direction
Canine oral viral oral papillomatosis
warts on the oral mucous membrane caused by a virus. They will generally go away with time
Caries
cavities
Caudal crossbite
a malocclusion in which one or more of the mandibular cheek teeth is buccal to the opposing maxillary cheek teeth when the mouth is closed
Caudal mucositis
Inflammation of mucosa of the caudal oral vacity, bordered medially by the palatoglossal folds, and fauces, dorsally by the hard and soft palate, and rostrally by alveolar and buccal mucosa
Cheilitis
inflammation of the lip
Cingulum
a ledge on the palatal side of the maxillary incisors
Class I malocclusion
overall normal occlusion except that one or more teeth are of of alignment
Class II occlusion
malocclusion occurring when the mandible is shorter than normal. This may cause the adult canines and incisor to penetrate the hard palate, and irritation and ulceration of the hard palate may result
Class III occlusion
a malocclusion that has several forms, and may be caused by the mandible being too long
Contact mucositis
Contact mucosal ulceration
Lesions in susceptible individuals that are secondary to mucosal contact with a tooth surface bearing the responsible irritant, allerge, or antigen. They have also been called “contact ulcers” and kissing ulcers
Cranial mandibular osteodystrophy
an inherited condition in which nonneoplastic bone forms in the region of the temporomandibular joint and occasionally extends into the mandible. It occurs primarily in West Highland white terriers.
Crossbite
a malocculsion in which a mandibular tooth or teeth have a ore buccal or labial position than the antagonist maxillary tooth.
Dentigerous Cyst
A cyst in which all or part of a toothis in the cyst
Dilacerated roots
an abnormally formed root
Distoversion
a type of class I malocclusion in which a tooth is in its anatomically correct position in the dental arch but which is abnormally angled in a distal direction
Enamel hypomineralization
inadequate mineralization of enamel matrix
Enamel hypoplasia
a defect in tooth enamel production
Endodontics
dental specialty dealing with the treatment of conditions inside the tooth
Fibrosarcoma
a sarcoma occurring in the mandible or maxilla that may create fleshy, protruding firm masses that are sometimes friable
Fusion
the joining of two developing teeth that have different tooth buds
Gemini tooth
a tooth in which a tooth bud has partially divided in the attempt to form two teeth
