Developmental Dental Disorders Flashcards
In hypotonia, is it more common to be missing deciduous or permanent teeth?
Permanent
Name three conditions that involve missing teeth.
- Hypodontia
- Oligodontia
- Anodontia
What are the most commonly missing teeth in hypodontia?
BONUS: which tooth is the fourth most common to be missing in men and women?
- Third molar
- mand second premolars
- Max lateral incisor
BONUS: men - mand lateral incisor, women - max second premolars
What is a “syndrome” ?
Refers to the constellation of multiple clinical stigmata, which appear together in a consistent fashion. Many of these clinical anomalies may appear to be unrelated
What is ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA?
- X-linked recessive (usually males) or occasional AD trait
- ECTODERMAL appendages fail to develop (hair, sweat glands, teeth)
- sometimes causes Adontia (weird shaped teeth) or salivary gland hypoplasia (with xerostomia)
What is CHONDROECTODERMSL DYSPLASIA?
- like ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA but also effects mesodermal tissues (short limbs, polydactyl, congenital heart defects)
- AR trait
- often fusion of upper lip to max ridge
Name syndromes that involve extra teeth (hyperdontia).
Gardner’s syndrome
Cleidocranial dysplaisa
What are the most common locations for supernumerary teeth?
Between max centrals (mesiodens) and max fourth molar
What’s the difference between a dissimilar and a paramolar?
Both are fourth molars, but distomolar is located distally to third molar and paramolar is located buccally to third molar
“Small teeth. Rare - pituitary dwarfism. Occasionally familial.” describes what condition?
Microdontia
“Big teeth. Rare - hemifaciak hypertrophy; usually incisors. Not to be confused with fused teeth” describes what anomaly.
Macrodontia
“Enlarged pulp chamber. Enlarged body of the tooth (long crown) with short roots” describes what anomaly.
Taurodontism
Name a condition that may sometimes present with Taurodontism.
Klinefelter’s syndrome - specific form of amelogenesis imperfecta
Name and define four accessory cusps and roots.
- Cusp of Carabelli- extra cusp found on lingual surface of max first molar (sometimes on buccal surface of molars and premolars)
- Dens evaginatus - an extra projecting cusp which is usually found between the buccal and lingual cusps of the premolars and molars (most common in Inuit)
- Talon cusp- accessory cusp located on cingulum of a max or mand permanent incisor
- Extra roots - occasionally found on max or mand molars or in single rooted mand cuspids or bicuspid
“Enamel droplet occasionally found in furcations are of a molar. More common in maxillary teeth.” describes what anomaly.
Enamel pearls
“Triangular extension of enamel from the buccal CEJ to the bifurcation of molars. Associated with periodontal furcation involvement or development of an inflammatory cyst” describes what condition
Cervical enamel extension
