From the App Flashcards
Type I root structure of Max first premolar
Type I - Single Root, wider buccolingually, prominent concavity on mesial surface, kidney shaped in cross section
Type II root structure of Max first premolar
Type II - Bifurcated Root
Root divides into a buccal and lingual root branch
Most common root form of maxillary 1st premolars
Type III root structure of Max first premolar
Type III - Laminated root
Resembles type II, except buccal and lingual branches are joined in part by lamination
Lamination - a thin connection between the main portions of the root structure
Which max first premolar root type is most common
Type II - Bifurcated Root
Root divides into a buccal and lingual root branch
Most common root form of maxillary 1st premolars
A crown concavity that is confluent with a longitudinal groove of the root is most commonly associated with which of the following teeth
Mesial surface of the max first premolar
Secondary Dentin
formed after root formation and throughout life
Primary dentin
laid down during tooth formation and ends when root development is complete
Tertiary dentin
laid in response to trauma or injury (caries) and is highly irregular
The dimension in which the Max and Mand Canine differ the most
the permanent Mand Canine is much narrower faciolingually than the permanent Max Canine
Which primary tooth closely resembles the permanent Mandibular First Molar - what two distinct characteristics
Primary Mandibular 2nd Molar - 5 cusps and a DB groove
The Primary mandibular 1st molar has four cusps and only max molars demonstrate oblique ridges
How many teeth exhibit 2 transverse ridges
none, when 2 happen, the second is called an oblique ridge
Mottled Enamel
Dental fluorosis - too much fluoride
What permanent anterior tooth normally exhibits a round pulpal outline in both cervical and mid root horizontal cross sections
Maxillary lateral incisors
The free gingiva extends from
the attached gingiva to the gingival crest
Attached gingiva extends from
mucogingival junction to the free gingival groove
Cervical lines on adjacent proximal surfaces of adjacent teeth
have approximately the same depth of curvature
Maxillary 3rd molars are almost always heart-shaped - True of False
It can be heart shaped, but it varies too much
Almost always wider buccolingually than mesiodistally
What are the outline shapes from the proximal view of these crowns
Anterior teeth
Maxillary posterior teeth
Mandibular posterior teeth
Anterior - Triangular
Max post - trapezoidal
Mand post - rhomboidal
Amelogenesis and dentinogenesis imperfecta - genetic?
yes
Flexion
involves root portion only, a bend in the apical most third of the root - can be caused by trauma
Dilaceration is a distortion of the normal relationship between the crown and root, a sharp bend that begins immediately apical to CEJ - can be caused by trauma
Muscle responsible for protrusive movements of mandible
Lateral pterygoids
Only tooth with a pulp wider mesiodistally than faciolingually
Maxillary Central incisor
Only tooth that appears triangular when viewed in cross section at the CEJ
Max Central Incisor
Enamel Tuft
areas of hypomineralization that extend from the DEJ up to 1/3 the thickness of the enamel layer
Not related to caries susceptibility
Enamel spindles
represent trapped odontoblastic processes
not related to caries susceptibility
hypomineralization
Enamel lamellae
cracks that run the length of the enamel layer - from the DEJ to the tooth surface
not related to caries susceptibility
hypomineralization
Which cusp is biggest/smallest on max first molar
Biggest - ML cusp is largest
Smallest - DL
