Eruption of Teeth Flashcards
What 3 things contribute to Reduced Enamel Epithelium?
- Outer Enamel Epithelium
- Stellate Reticulum
- Stratum Intermedium
What is the function of the Reduced Enamel Epithelium?
- Protection of the tooth during eruption from osteoclasts.
2. Provides attachment to the tooth.
What type of junction is formed in the dentogingival junction?
Hemidesmosome; junctional and sucular epithelium
In order for primary tooth eruption to occur what process must be completed?
Amelogenesis
In order for primary tooth eruption to occur what structure must be present?
acellular dental cuticle
What is formed during primary tooth eruption?
Reduced enamel epithelium
What does REE fuse to in primary tooth eruption?
Oral epithelium
How is the oral epithelium disintegrated to form a “tunnel” for eruption?
Enzymes
What pathology is created by the disintegration of the oral epithelium that is seen in the mouth clinically?
Inflammation and teething
Creating the “tunnel” for primary tooth eruption creates eruption without bloodshed…true or false?
True
What two processes contribute to primary tooth exfoliation?
Osteoclasts & Odontoclasts
What do Osteoclasts and Odontoclasts create?
Loosening or tightening of primary teeth soon to be lost.
What are osteoclasts?
Cells that function in in resorption of bone.
What are odontoclasts?
Cells that resorb dentin, cementum, and enamel.
Which process is attributed to tightening in primary tooth exfoliation?
Odontoblasts and cementoblasts.
What is the process of eruption for Permanent teeth?
Same as primary teeth…
- REE
- Enzymes
- Tunnel
- Eruption
