Q

Growth of cartilage

A
  • Grows by appositional and interstitial growth
  • Appositional growth: new cartilage is added to the surface of the cartilage by chondroblasts from the inner layer of the perichondrium
  • Interstitial growth: new cartilage is formed within the cartilage by chondrocytes that divide and produce additional matrix

Q

Cementogenesis

A
  • Breakup of hertwig’s epithelial root sheath allows cells of dental sac to contact root dentin and differentiate into cementoblasts.
  • These cells produce cemented which mineralizes to form cementum.
  • The root sheath thus directs the cementoblasts where to go.

  • Beginning of root formation is seen in the form of a spicule.
85
Q

Stage E of canine calcification

A
  • The walls of the pulp chamber now form straight lines whose continuity is broken by the presence of the pulp horn, which is larger than the previous stage.
  • The root length is less than the crown height.

Q

Stage F of canine calcification

A
  • The walls of the pulp chamber now form a more or less isosceles triangle. The apex ends in a funnel shape.

• Minimal impact on masticatory function
• Possible impact on speech
- Lingual-dental sounds (s, z, th)
- Especially prior to the development of speech skills
• < 2 years of age —> possible space loss
• > 2 years of age —> esthetic problem (for parents)

176
Q

Early loss of canines

- Blocked out canines

178
