EXAM Flashcards
Maxillary Arch

Tongue
The First Permanent Molars Usually Erupt:
at about age 6 (5-7), distal to the primary molars, before the second molars
Convex Means
Curving (or bulging) outward
There are premolars in the primary dentition?
False
In ideal centric occlusion the maxillary permanent dentition should slightly overjet the mandibular permanent teeth?

True
Which teeth are anterior teeth?
incisors, canines
Morphology
the study of form and shape
Cingulum
raised, round area on the lingual surface at the gingival third of the anterior teeth
Fossa
wide, shallow depression on the lingual surface of anterior teeth (just incisal of the cingulum)
Diastema
space between adjacent teeth (esp.. the maxillary central incisors)
Mamelon
round enamel bumps on the incisal edge of newly erupted permanent incisors
Cusps
major elevation on the occlusal surfaces posterior teeth and canines
Cusp of Carabelli
a fifth cusp found lingual to the ML cusp of the permanent maxillary first molar

the area of the start of root divisions of teeth with 2 or more roots ( mostly the molars primary and permanent)
What teeth have a palatal root (three roots)
maxillary 2nd molar, permanent maxillary 1st molars, primary maxillary 2nd molars
What teeth have a cingulum?
maxillary incisiors, mandibular canines, mandibular incisors, maxillary canines
Bifurcation
area at which two roots divide
Mamelon
rounded extension of enamel on the incisal edge of newly erupted incisors
Apex
the tip of the tooths root
Cusp
the prominent enamel extensions of the occulusal surfaces of posterior teeth (and canines)
Fossa
shallow depression on the lingual surfaces on anterior teeth
Cusp of Carabelli
is a fifth cusp found on the mesial lingual surface of maxillary 1st molar
Embryology
the study of prenatal development
Histology
the study of human tissues at a microscopic level
Hydroxyapatite (HAP)
material that forms the hard structure of bones and teeth
Periodontium
structures that surround support and are attached to the teeth
Vermillion Border
border of the lips to the facial skin (think “lip liner”)
Frenum
the tissue attachments that bind the oral mucosa to the dental arches
Mucogingival Junction
the line between the attached gingiva and the alveolar mucosa
vestibule
space between the teeth and the inside of the cheeks and lips
the dorsal of the tongue contains the lingual frenum?
false
the pear shaped bump between the maxillary incisors on the hard palate is?
the incisive papilla
the filiform papillae are the bigger, redder papillae that cover the dorsal surface of the tongue and have the taste buds?
false
the large raised papillae on the posterior of the tongue are the arranged like a V are?
vallate papillae
embryonic development stages in order?
1st: preimplantation stage (zygote) 2nd: embryonic stage (embryo) 3rd: fetal stage (fetus)
three embryonic layers?
mesoderm, ectoderm, endoderm
The three stages of formation of the palate are formation of the primary palate, formation of the secondary palate and fusion of the palate.
true
the process of deposit of bone is called resorption and the process of bone loss or removal is called deposition.
false
ameloblasts
forms enamel
odontoblasts
forms dentin
cementoblasts
forms cementum
osteoblasts
forms bone
osteoclasts
breaks down bone
fibroblasts
forms periodontal ligaments (fiber)
three periods of odontogenesis, the process of tooth formation?
bud stage, cap stage, bell stage
a fissure
is a fault line along a developmental groove on the occlusal surface caused by incomplete joining of the lobes
a pit
is a deep hole in enamel from two development grooves cross each other
the anatomic crown is the portion of the tooth that is covered with enamel. the clinical crown is the portion of the tooth that is visible in the mouth.
true
what are enamel rods?
small prims that make acid etch work
primary dentin
forms before eruption
secondary dentin
forms after eruption
tertiary dentin
forms as a response from irriation
primary cementum
forms as the root develops
secondary cementum
forms after the tooth is erupted and in occlusion
lining mucosa
buccal, vestibule, underside of tongue
masticatory mucosa
keritinized, attached gingiva, palatal mucosa
specialized mucosa
mucosa with papilla, dorsum side of the tongue
alveolar process
a process of the maxilla and mandibula that socket the teeth
a foramen
a hold in the bone that allows veins, arteries and nerves to pass through
lacrimal bones
small facial bones that form the medial side of the orbit (surround the tear ducts)o
occipital region
area at the back of the skull (the occipital bone)
orbital region
area around the orbit or eyes
mental region
area inferior to the lower lip and superior to the chin (pout)
