embryo final Flashcards
The central pulp:
makes up the majority of the pulp.
Odontoblasts responsible for the production of reparative dentin are derived from:
mesenchymal cells of the cell rich zone.
True denticles:
are most commonly at the furcation of multirooted teeth.
Pulp horns:
are part of the coronal pulp.
Fine fibers of the dental pulp:
are found in the central pulp.
stain with silver.
are similar to beta fibrils of dentin.
are found in the peripheral pulp.
Odontoblasts:
can be found in the canal of the apical foramen.
Most of the sensory nerve endings in the pulp are located in the
dentinal tubules.
The cell free zone of Weil is located between the:
odontoblasts and the cell rich zone.
The blood vessels of the pulp:
can enter ‘through accessory root canals.
The canal of the apical foramen:
may be lined by cementum.
In the gingiva, orthokeratinized stratified squamous epithelium is normally found:
in the depressions between gingival stipples.
at the free gingival margin.
at the free gingival groove.
The free gingival groove:
forms functionally, with age.
The interdental groove is part of the:
attached gingiva.
The col is:covered with fully keratinized epithelium.
covered with fully keratinized epithelium.
The principal fibers of the gingival ligament which attach the tooth to the outer surface of the alveolar bone are the:
dentoperiosteal fibers.
The lamina propria of the gingiva has all of the following except :
mature elastic fibers.
The lamina propria of the gingiva has all of the following
capillaries.
large collagen bundles.
long connective tissue papillae.
lymphocytes and macrophages.
The cell in the epithelium of the gingiva responsible for recognizing foreign antigens is the:
Langerhans cell.
The dental cuticle:
cements the epithelium to the tooth.
During phase 2 of passive eruption,:
the junctional epithelium lies on both enamel and cementum.
The principal fiber group of the periodontal ligament which absorbs most of the force of mastication is the:
oblique fibers.
The larger blood vessels and nerves of the periodontal membrane are found:
in the interstitial rests.
The special fibers which anchor blood vessels in the periodontal membrane are the:
oxytalin fibers
Interradicular fibers prevent movement of the tooth in a direction that is:
apical.
lateral.
The collagen fiber of the PDL that spans from inside the tooth to inside the bone is made by:
cementoblasts, osteoblasts and fibroblasts.
The alveolar bone proper is sometimes called a cribriform plate because it:
has many foramina.
part of the alveolar process that is composed of compact bone is the:
cortical bone.
Bundle bone:
actually attaches the PDL to the bone,
When a tooth is moved by orthodontic techniques, all of the following occur except:
the periodontal membrane remains wider.
a radiograph, the lamina dura:
shows the shape of the alveolus.
indicates the areas of the attachment of the tooth.
is the result of the presence of bundle bone.
is thicker than the actual alveolar bone proper.
Pre-eruptive movement of teeth will compensate for all of the following changes except:
growth of the root.
Clinical eruption of a primary tooth is the point at which the:
tooth becomes visible in the oral cavity.
During the shedding process, an odontoclast may resorb any of the following tissues except:
alveolar bone.
Select the incorrect statement concerning the shedding of a primary molar.
tooth is usually shed before all of the root is resorbed.
The TMJ is a joint which involves all of the following except
frontal bone
As a result of the translatory movement in the TMJ, the
condyle slides along the temporal bone
The articular disk:
is made of collagen fibers
The none of the above synovial fluid in the TMJ:
provides nutrients for the articular disk
All of the following might indicate the possibility of a TMJ problem except :
feelings of hunger
In order to have a healthy and properly balanced TMJ, which of the following conditions must be satisfied?
teeth in proper occlusion
absence of muscle spasms
tendons and ligaments in good working order
