Enamel Flashcards
Calcification begins at _____
Cusp tips and moves down (incisal edges first)
Timing of calcification?
Long process
What promotes calcification?
Proteins- don’t worry about specific ones
Ealry maturation stage
loss of organic matter and water and influx of mineral salts
Know eruption sequences!
If a patient is missing a tooth which stage of development was disturbed? When?
Initiation- same for extra tooth
in utero-know when
Has an extra tooth? which stage
initiation-specifically bud stage
patient has a weird shaped tooth? (peg lateral)
Morphodifferentiation
If a patient has weird colored teeth, which stage?
Apposition-genetic
One tooth weird color?
Maybe calcification
Patient is 16 and tooth is impacted which stage is disturbed?
eruption
Hypodontia and Anodontia affects what (%)
primary teeth 0.1-.7%
Permanent 2-9%
Most likely to be missing
3rd molars > upper laterals > 2nd premolars > lower centrals
Syndromes with hypodontia
Ectodermal dysplasia and orofacial clefts
Dental anomalies with initiation
hypodontia and supernumerary
Anomalies with proliferation
gemination and fusion
Anomalies with Morphodifferentiation
Macrodontia, microdontia, dens in dente, dens evaginatus, talon cusp
Anomalies of aposition/calcification-with enamel
amelogenesis imperfecta, molar-incisor hypomineralization, fluorosis, tooth discoloration
anomalies of aposition and calcification of dentin
dentinogenesis imperfecta, dentinal dysplasia
Supernumerary teeth %’s
primary teeth .3-.8%
Permanent 1-3.5%
Supernumeray more common in which jaw? %?
Maxilla-98%
Mesiodens
supernumerary teeth in the midline
Shape of supernumerary teeth
normal or conical/tuberculate
Syndrom of supernumary
clediocranial dysplasia
cleidocranial dysplasia
a shit ton of extra teeth-commonly causes lots of impaction
Double tooth-two options
fusion or gemination
% of double teeth prim and perm
2.5% prim
.2% permanent
Fusion
joining of two tooth germs-usually two teeth of normal series-2 roots
