Q

Q

How does calcification occur?

A

cells make a small enucleation site called a nidus and precipitation of inorganic calcium salts deposit starting there. (He talked about these growth centers being like a bunch of golf balls)

Q

Max lateral incisor

T/F the outline of the maxillary lateral incisor is not similar to that of the central incisor.

T/F the length of the crown from the cervical to incisal edge is greater than the mesiodistal width

A

false - it is pretty much the same tooth shape just a smaller size

true

25
Q

Max canine

T/F the canine has a long, slender, tapering root that is more than three times the length of the crown

A

False - it is more than twice the lenghth of the crown

26
Q

Man Central Incisor

T/F The mandibular central incisor is smaller than the maxillary central incisor but its labiolingual measurement is usually only 1 mm less

A

True

27
Q

Mandibular lateral incisor

The outline of the mandibular lateral incisor is similar to that of the central incisor but is larger in which dimensions?

A

all dimensions except labio-lingually

28
Q

Mandibular Canine

What are the differences between this and the maxillary canine?

A

the crown is slightly shorter

root is about 2mm shorter

smaller labio-lingually

longer slope of cusp is distal

29
Q

Max first primary molar

the greatest dimension of the crown of the maxillary first molar is where?

How many roots are there? Are they long or short?

A

the mesiodistal contact areas

long

30
Q

What molar is very susceptible to decay in primary teeth?

A

Maxillary first molar

31
Q

what tooth looks most like the maxillary second primary molar?

A

the maxillary first permanent molar

32
Q

the 2nd primary molar is (larger/smaller) than the primary 1st molar

A

larger

33
Q

What is the largest root on the maxillary second primary molar?

A

the lingual root

34
Q

HOw many cusps does the maxillary second primary molar have on the buccal?

lingual?

A

2 on buccal

3 on lingual

35
Q

Which primary molar doesn’t resemble any of the permanent teeth?

A

primary mandibular first molar

36
Q

The primary mandibular first molar has what general shape looking at it from the occlusal view

What about the pulp should we know in this tooth?

A

rhomboid

the pulp horns are huge

37
Q

which molars decay all the time in children?

A

38
Q

in a clinically relevant sense, the pulp horns of primary teeth are largest when?

what causes the pulp to decrease in size?

A

when they first erupt.

age, function, and abrasion

39
Q

T/F primary teeth bond to about the same degree that permanent teeth so giving retention form to restorations is not a big deal

False - they are more flat and broad

Q

T/F primary teeth are typically more yellow than their permanent counterparts

false - they are typically whiter and a lighter shade

Q

why do roots of primary teeth have more flare?

because primary molar roots are flared what is more likely to happen to them during extraction?
