28
Q

Tubercle on teeth

A

Most commonly on the lingual surface

on rare occasions, the lingual surface has a tubercle located near the most incisal level of the cingulum

29
Q

Curvature of canine root

A

apical end deflected to the distal

30
Q

Which tooth has the highest rate of impaction outside of 3rd molars

A

Maxillary canine

31
Q

Where is the PDL the thinnest

A

middle 1/3 of the root

PDL will atrophy and change fiber orientation with decreased us

32
Q

Which type of dentin makes up most of the dentin in tooth

A

Primary dentin - laid down until tooth development is complete

Intertubular dentin - dentin that fills the space between dentinal tubules

33
Q

Interglobular dentin

A

hypomineralized dentin formed where specks of mineral picked up by collogen fibers have calcified, but failed to fuse

34
Q

Flatness of primary teeth

A

Primary teeth have a flatter facial and lingual surface than permanent teeth above crest of contour - gives the appearance of a narrower occlusal table

35
Q

Hutchinson’s incisors

A

caused by congenital syphilis - bacteria
4-6 months in utero before calcification begins
screwdriver appearance of incisors

Mulberry molars - 1st molars affected by congenital syphilis

Primary teeth typically not affected

36
Q

How many triangular ridges are on Max First Molar

A

5 - ML cusp has 2

37
Q

2 basic types of Mandibular 3rd molars

A

Type I - resembles the 2nd molar with 4 cusps
Type II - resembles the 1st molar with 5 cusps

roots are extremely variable and 1 root and 2 roots are both common

38
Q

Concrescence

A

union of cementum only

39
Q

Segmented root due to

A

break in Herwig’s sheath

40
Q

Imbrication lines

A

faint, curved lines that roughly parallel the CEJ in the cervical third of the tooth surface on facial side

41
Q

How common is the cusp of Carabelli on primary 2nd molar

A

about 75% of Europeans

42
Q

Which teeth are mamelons found on

A

only incisors, 3 mamelons

43
Q

Alveolar process

A

the entire bony entity which surrounds and supports all the teeth

44
Q

True or false, cementum is avascular

A

True

45
Q

Bennett shift and Bennett angle

A

Bennett shift - lateral movement of the mandible towards the working side during LATERAL EXCURSIONS (not protrusive)

Bennett angle - the angle obtained after the non-working side condyle has moved anteriorly and medially, relative to the sagittal plane

46
Q

Cross striations

A

mark the incremental lengthening of enamel rods (4 microns/day). They are ring-like, regular, and run a right angles to the enamel rods

47
Q

Hunter-Schreger bands

A

alternating dark and light bands visible in the inner 4/5 of longitudinal tooth sections. they are believed to be no more than an optical phenomenon

48
Q

When moving posteriorly in the mouth, proximal contacts become more

A

Cervically and buccally located

all anterior tooth contacts are centered faciolingually when viewed from incisal

49
Q

Crest of curvature for both the mesial and distal sides of the Maxillary Central incisor is in which 1/3 of the tooth

A

the incisal 1/3

50
Q

Bundle Bone

A

RadiOPAQUE

part of the alveolar bone adjacent to to PDL
