Chapter 7 - Oral Anatomy Flashcards
When teeth are in what phase (tooth formation) they go through three developmental periods called categories: growth, calcification, and eruption? (Pages7-1)
Odontogenesis
What describes the tooth as it breaks through the gingival tissue? (Pages 7-1)
Emergence
Tooth buds for the permanent teeth form between the 17th- week of fetal life through the age of how many years? (Pages7-1)
5
What refers to depositing of the matrix for the hard dental structures? (Page 7-2)
Apposition
What is the process by which organic tissue (the matrix formed during apposition) becomes hardened by a deposit of calcium or any mineral salts? (Pages 7-2)
Calcification
For permanent teeth, it takes about how many years from crown completion to the time the tooth emerges into the mouth? (Pages 7-2)
3
When primary teeth prepare to fall out and make way for the eruption of permanent teeth, they go through a process called what? (Pages 7-4)
Exfoliation
What is the study of anatomy including the minute structure, composition, and functions of tissues? (Pages 7-4)
Histology
The root of a tooth is covered by cementum and embedded in a thin layer of compact bone that forms the tooth socket; this is called what? (Pages 7-4)
Alveolar bone
When teeth have more than one root, the region where the roots separate is called what? (Pages 7-4)
Furcation
If a tooth has how many or more roots, it is said to be multirooted? (Pages 7-4)
Four
What is a slight indentation that encircles the tooth and marks the junction of the anatomical crown with the root? (Pages 7-5)
Cervix
What is the calcified substance that covers the entire anatomic crown of the tooth and protects the dentin? (Pages 7-5)
Enamel
What is the hardest tissue in the human body? (Page 7-5)
Enamel
Enamel can endure crushing pressure of approximately how many pounds per square inch? (page 7-6)
100,000
What constitutes the largest portion of the tooth? (Page 7-6)
Dentin
What is the bonelike tissue that covers the roots of the teeth in a thin layer? (Page 7-6)
Cementum
What is the soft tissue inside the tooth developed from the connective tissue of the dental papilla? (Page 7-6)
Dental pulp
The tissues that surround and support the teeth are collectively called what? (Pages7-7)
Periodontium
What is that bony portion of the maxilla and mandible where the teeth are embedded and tooth roots are supported? (Pages 7-7)
Alveolar process
What is dense in nature, provides strength and protection, and act as the attachment for a skeletal muscles? (Pages 7-7)
Cortical plate
What is a thin layer of compact bone; a specialized continuation of the cortical plate that forms the tooth socket? (Pages7-8)
