Exam 4 Pt. 3 Flashcards
dentition
central incisors, lateral incisors, cuspid (canine), first bicuspid, second bicuspid, first molar, second molar, third molar
components of a tooth
crown, root, enamel, dentin, pulp, gingival sulcus, gingiva, alvolar bone, cementum, periodontal ligament.
crown
above gum line
root
below gum line
enamel
dense surface for protection
dentin
solid portion of tooth
pulp
contains nerves and blood vessels with in the tooth
gingival sulcus
grove between gingiva and crown
gingiva
gum line
alvolar bone
houses the teeth
cementum
protecting surface surrounding the root
periodontal ligament
suspends the tooth in the alveolus (socket)
surface referents of teeth
buccal, lingual, medial, and distal
buccal surface
near the cheeks
lingual surface
near the tongue
medial surface
near midline
distal surface
near the posterior area of oral cavity
dental development
deciduous teeth (baby teeth), permanent teeth
Class I - Normal
first molar of the mandibular arch is one half tooth advanced of the maxillary molar.
Class II - Malocclusion
first mandibular molars are retracted at least one tooth from the first maxillary molars
Class III - Malocclusion
First mandibular molar is advanced farther than one tooth beyond the first maxillary molar.
overjet
normal projection of upper incisors beyond lower incisors in transverse plane
overbite
normal overlap of upper incisors relative to lower incisors
torsiversion
rotated or twisted
linguaversion
tilts toward the tongue
buccoversion
tilts towards the cheek
distoversion
tilts away from the midline of the dental arch
infraversion
tooth is inadequately erupted
supraversion
tooth protrudes excessively, causes inadequate occlusion of other dentition.
mesioversion
tooth tilts toward the midline of the dental arch
open bite
improper occlusion of anterior teeth
closed bite
improper occlusion of posterior teeth
