Q

What is the difference between tuberculate and conical supernumerary teeth?

A

The conical supernumerary can result in rotation or displacement of the permanent incisor, but rarely delays eruption. The tuberculate type of supernumerary possesses more than one cusp or tubercle. It is frequently described as barrel-shaped and may be invaginated.

Q

A

28
Q

What is dens in dente?

A

A tooth within a tooth

29
Q

What is a talon cusp?

A

an extra cusp on an anterior tooth which arises as a result of evagination

30
Q

What is amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

a disorder that affects the structure and appearance of the enamel of the teeth. This condition causes teeth to be very small, discolored, pitted or grooved, and prone to rapid wear and breakage with early tooth decay and loss.

31
Q

What are the 2 classes of amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

Hypoplastic
Hypomineralised

32
Q

What is dentinogenesis imperfecta?

A

causes the teeth to be discolored (most often a blue-gray or yellow-brown color) and translucent. Teeth are also weaker than normal, making them prone to rapid wear, breakage, and loss.

33
Q

What does MIH stand for?

A

Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation

34
Q

What is Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation

A

Developmental defect in enamel structure, only effects 1s, 2s and 6s

35
Q

What is fluorosis?

A

a condition that causes changes in the appearance of tooth enamel due to overexposure of fluoride during amelogenesis

36
Q

what is turner’s tooth?

A

An enamel defect in the permanent teeth caused by periapical inflammatory disease in the overlying primary tooth

37
Q

What is a dilacerated tooth?

A

If the crown (top) or root of a tooth has an irregular bend

38
Q

What is an example of a metabolic disturbance effecting the dentition?

A

haemolytic bilirubin anaemia

39
Q

A malfunction in which tooth development stage causes anodontia?

A

initiation stage

40
Q

A malfunction in which tooth development stage causes supernumerary teeth?

A

initiation stage

41
Q

A malfunction in which tooth development stage causes microdontia/macrodontia?

42
Q

A malfunction in which tooth development stage causes dens in dente?

43
Q

A malfunction in which tooth development stage causes fusion and germination

44
Q

When do primary teeth start to erupt?

45
Q

Which teeth erupt first?

A

Lower central incisors

46
Q

When is the primary dentition complete?

A

30 months (2 1/2 yrs)

47
Q

When does the mixed dentition stage begin?

48
Q

What teeth are the first to erupt in the permanent dentition?

A

lower centrals

49
Q

What are the 2 main phases of the mixed dentition stage?

A

between 6-8 yrs old
between 10-12 yrs old

50
Q

When is the permanent dentition established?

A

Around 12 yrs

51
Q

What are the main features of the established permanent dentition?

A

Molar relationship
No crowding
No spacing
No rotated teeth
Occlusal plane flat or mild curve of spee

52
Q

At what age should canines be palpable?

53
Q

What is the curve of spee?

A

The curvature of the mandibular occlusal plane

54
Q

Why is there a lot of spacing in the primary dentition?

A

To allow space for the permanent dentition as it has more teeth

55
Q

What habits can effect the dentiton?

A

The use of dummies and thumb sucking

56
Q

What can happen if there is an early loss of primary teeth?

A

Fibrous tissue can form over the erupting tooth delaying its eruption, unless the permanent tooth has 1/3 to 2/3 of the root formation completed then there will be accelerated eruption

57
Q

Explain class 1 incisor relationship

A

The lower incisor edges occlude with the upper central incisor central plateaus

58
Q

Explain class 2 division 1 incisor relationship

A

The lower central incisor edges sit posteriorly relative to the upper central incisor central plateaus
The upper central incisors are proclined
often an increased overjet

59
Q

Explain class 2 division 2 incisor relationship

A

The lower central incisor edges sit posteriorly relative to the upper central incisor central plateaus
The upper central incisors are retroclined
Often a minimal overjet

60
Q

Explain class 3 incisor relationship

A

The lower central incisor edges sit anteriorly relative to the upper central incisor central plateaus
overjet is reduced or reversed

61
Q

What classification is relevant to molar relationships?

A

Angle’s classification

62
Q

Explain class I molar relationship

A

mesio-buccal cusp sits in the buccal groove

63
Q

Explain class II molar relationship

A

disto-buccal cusp is sitting in the buccal groove

64
Q

Explain class III molar relationship

A

mesio-buccal cusp has jumped a whole cusp backwards

65
Q

What is a class II mandible?

A

where the lower first molar is posterior (or more towards the back of the mouth) than the upper first molar

66
Q

What is a class III mandible?

A

where the lower first molar is anterior (or more towards the front of the mouth) than the upper first molar.
