Q

Microdontia has 2 forms:

A

True generalized microdontia:
Teeth have normal structure but smaller than normal teeth
Occur in pituitary dwarfism

Generalized relative microdontia:
Teeth have normal size, but jaw is larger than usual, therefore they appear relatively small

Q

Accessory cusps:

Talon:
Cusp-like cingulum on maxillary anterior teeth (most common central incisors)

Treatment: reduce height over time –> allow reactionary dentine to form inside pulp

Carabelli:

Q

Gemination vs Fusion vs Concrescence

A

Gemination:
One bud gives rise to two teeth (joined crowns) with one root, being counted as one tooth.

Fusion:
Two buds develop separately and join later, having two canals, thus the tooth count is reduced
However if a normal tooth is fused to a supernumerary, the tooth number is still normal

Concrescence:
Two teeth joined by the cementum

20
Q

Evagination/dens evaginatus

A

Small tubercle on occlusal part, central on fissure
When fractured during normal wear and tear –> pulpal exposure & involvement
Premolars most common, then molars

Treatment: grinding over time to allow formation of reactionary dentine in pulp, removal of tubercle and partial pulpotomy

21
Q

Dens invaginatus

A

Invagination of dental papilla during development, infolding of enamel
Dentine can start from tip of cusps or foramen cecum and extend deep into root
Most commonly maxillary lateral incisors

22
Q

Taurodontism

A

Body of tooth and pulp chamber are elongated vertically, while the roots are short and underdeveloped, the furcation having moved far down apically
Failure of Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath to invaginate at horizontal level
Affects molars

23
Q

Tuberous sclerosis
Treacher Collins syndrome
Phenylketoneuria
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome
Fanconi syndrome
Strurge-Weber syndrome
