Q

What is the etiology of Dens invaginates?

A
  • Invagination of enamel epithelium from the lingual pit area forms a thin layer of enamel and dentin within the crown.
  • Bacteria enters and creates pulp exposure, leaving the teeth vulnerable to occult caries = PA Pathosis

A

Native Americans

38
Q

Where is the Cusp of Bolk?

A

Mesiobuccal

Maxillary 2nd Molar

39
Q
  • Looks like an enamel pearl that stays attached
  • Extension of enamel into the buccal furcation of a mandibular molar
A

Bikini Enamel

40
Q

What is the dental consideration for pts with Bikini Enamel?

A
  • If the follicle that accompanies the extension gets inflammed in a partly erupted 3rd molar it can cause:
    • Perio furcation
    • Buccal Bifurcation Cyst
      • Squamous lined INFLAMMATORY follicular cyst
41
Q

In what population does Bikini enamel occur?

42
Q
  • Affects ONLY crowns or portions of crowns developing at the time of insult
  • Epithelium problem
  • Ameloblasts are vulnerable to injury (hypoxia, chemicals, trauma, drugs) can become etched into the enamel
  • Ameloblasts can recover and produce enamel again = Bands of Enamel
A

Enamel Hypoplasia: Environmental

43
Q

What can cause Enamel Hypoplasia? (5)

A
  • Childhood infections
  • Congenital Syphilis
    • Hutchinson’s incisors
    • Mulberry molars
  • Birth trauma/Cerebral Palsy
  • Vitamin Deficiency:
    • A = Enamel
    • C = Collagen
    • D = Deficient miineralization
  • Maternal Diabetes
44
Q

Affects ENTIRE Crown of BOTH Dentitions

Epithelium problem

A

Enamel Hypoplasia/Amelogenesis Imperfecta: Inherited

45
Q

What are the Characteristics of Hypoplastic Amelogenesis Imperfecta?

A
  • Calcification, histology, and mineralization all normal
  • Enamel matrix is thin
    • ​Spacing between teeth: due to enamel that should be present
    • Radiograph shows thin enamel - even in teeth that havent erupted yet
  • Small, yellow teeth with rough enamel surface, significant attrition, anterior open bite, and open contacts
  • Teeth resemble crown preps, and some teeth can fail to erupt
46
Q

What are the Characteristics of Hypocalcified Amelogenesis Imperfecta?

A
  • Normal thickness, but doesn’t calcify right
  • Soft, shallow, brown discolored enamel
  • Enamel flakes off occlusal and incisal surfaces, and is easily damaged by dental tools and the cavitron
  • Shows up radiographically, not the normal RO of enamel, but similar to the opacity of dentin
47
Q

What are the Characteristics of Hypomaturation Amelogenesis Imperfecta?

A
  • Normal thickness of matrix and normal calcification
  • Post-calcification - crystals of calcium fail to grow and interlock
  • Discolored crowns with normal anatomy
    • Snow Caps
    • Mottled, opaque whie enamel with scattered areas of brown discoloration
  • Can’t penetrate with explorer, but vulnerable to cavitron
48
Q

What is the treatment for Hypoplastic and Hypocalcified Amelogenesis Imperfecta?

A

Veneers or Full Crowns

49
Q

What is the treatment for Hypomaturation Amelogenesis Imperfecta?

A

Might not need crowns, but be careful not to damage with dental instruments

50
Q

Deciduous Tooth erupts looking chipped

A

Turner Tooth

51
Q

What is the pathogenesis of Turner’s Tooth?

A
  • Focal Enamel Hypoplasia of Succedaneous tooth
  • Due to trauma, or periapical inflammation in the overlying deciduous tooth, not a systemic problem affecting amelobalsts
52
Q

What teeth are most commonly affected with Turner’s Tooth?

A

Deciduous Molars and Maxillary Centrals

53
Q

What concentration of fluoride causes Flurosis?

54
Q

What are the characteristics of teeth with Fluorosis?

A
  • Opaque, brown, chalky white areas
  • NOT hypoplastic, just discoloration
  • Caries resistant
  • No x-ray findings - enamel looks normal
55
Q

What is the pathogenesis of Dentinogenesis Imperfecta?

A
  • CT Problem
    • Mesenchymal defect affecting dentin
  • Enamel is normal although teeth look bad
    • See dentin through translucent enamel
56
Q

What teeth are affected in Dentinogenesis Imperfecta?

A

All teeth of BOTH dentitions, but teeth developing latest are least affected

57
Q

What is the appearance of the teeth in Dentinogenesis Imperfecta?

A
  • Opalescent and brown/purple
  • Pulp Chambers completely lost
  • Roots thinner and shorter
  • Crowns bulbous/tulip shaped
58
Q

What are the dental considerations for DI?

A
  • Caries is not a problem - dentinal tubules are spared
  • A pt with DI is at NO risk of getting OI
    • But a pt with OI will get DI
  • Early attrition can lead to exposure of thin pulp horns which can lead to loss of crown length and PA pathosis
  • Implants and Dentures are the recommended treatment
59
Q

What is the etiology of Dentin Dysplasia Type I and II?

A

Autosomal Dominant

60
Q

What are the characteristics of teeth in a person with Dentin Dysplasia Type I?

A
  • Rootless Teeth - absent/very short
  • Obliteration of pulp chamber
    • Like in DI
61
Q

What are the characteristics of teeth in a person with Dentin Dysplasia Type II?

A
  • Crowns of deciduous teeth resemble Dentinogenesis Imperfecta
  • Permanent dentition looks normal
  • X-ray shows thistle tube pulpe chambers + pulp stones
62
Q

What are the characteristics of Regional Odontodysplasia?

A

Ghost Teeth

  • 1 or 2 teeth per quad
  • Pulp chambers are enormous
  • Thin enamel and dentin
  • Many teeth don’t erupt
  • Subject to early pulp and PA pathosis for those that do erupt
