Etiology Flashcards
congenitally missing teeth associated with
sytemic disease like ectodermal dysplasia
clinically implication of congenitally missing teeth
spacing problem
supernumerary teeth clinical implication
spacing – impacted or crowding
multiple supernumerary teeth associated with
congenital syndromes like cleidocranial dysplasia
implications of pre-mature loss of primary tooth
anterior segment - due to size of erupting permanent
usually affects primary canines
tendency for the space to close
incisor tend to drift distally
most common extra tooth
mesiodens
- found in midline upper centrals
clinical implication of premature exfoliation of c’s (like primary tooth c)
midlien shift, pace collapse for eruption of permanents and crowding
premature loss of d’s or e’s can cause what clinically
alteration of molar relation and crowding or lack of space for eruption of permanent pre-molar or canines
alterations of the occlusal plane
extraction of permanent teeth - when are changes seen
bigger changes are in the first 6 months post extraction
implication of loss of permanent teeth
clinically – occlusal plane is broken/ altered. space collapses, and abnormal tooth inclination
clinically small teeth lead to –>
large teeth? –>
small – large jaws – spacing
large teeth – smaller jaws – crowding
(ideally you want small teeth - with small jaws and vice versa)
bolton
discrepency
% accurate? why?
only 5% have the proprtional size of teeth
states the size of the upper teeth is not proportional to the size of the lower teeth (5% of population)
due to the size of the lateral incisor variation
clinical implication of bolton discrepency
spacing, crowding, or if aligned altered OJ
what can alter eruption
supernumerary teeth, sclerotic bone, heavy fibrou gingiva can obstruct
or mechanical interference
ectopic eruption - general
malposition of a tooth bud can lead to eruption in a wrong place
may be associated with trauma in primary dentition
also produced by lack of arch space
can produce root resorption of wrong primary
can lead to impaction
more frequency of ectopic eruption in which teeth
upper first molars, upper cuspids, and lower second bicupids
mot extreme ectopipc
transposition – teeth switched in position with the neighboring tooth
like pre molar in spot of canine
most frequent – cuspid and the bicuspid
ankylosis found in? radiographically looks?
frequently found in traumitized permanent teeth and in primary molars where the succedaneous tooth is congenitally missing
radiographically – loss of PDL space
attachment levels - general and implication
teeth are connected to the alveolar bone by the attachment apparatus
if there is loss of attachment teeth become mobile and start flaring
clinically — development of diastemas and increasesd OVERJET
frenal attachment can cause?
DIASTEMA - if thick fibrous LOW INSERTED – causing an anterior diestema
an anterior diestema can be caused by
frenal attachment inserted LOW
thick fibrous low inserted frenum can cause this
dental problems related to etiology
- number of teeth
- size of teeth
- alterations in eruption
- attachment levels
- trauma – IMMEDIATE IMPACT
mandibular or maxillary fractures can break?
break the occlusal plane
