Genetic Tooth Disorders (Gonzales 2) Flashcards
Tooth development results from _______, which are reciprocal epithelial mesenchymal interactions.
Reciprocal Induction
Tooth morphogenesis and growth are controlled by ______.
Genes
_______, also known as oligodontia, is having fewer than the regular number of teeth. Missing _____ and _____ is relatively common, and is a result of _____ and ____ mutations.
- Hypodontia
- Third molars and upper lateral incisors
- Pax9 and MSX1
_______: congenitally missing all primary or permanent teeth, associated with ______.
- Anodontia
- Ectodermal Dysplasia
The ______ gene belongs to the PAX gene family, which encodes a group of transcription factors. It is expressed in the ______ of the tooth bud and plays a role in ______. Mutations result in _______.
- PAX 9
- Mesenchyme
- Early tooth development
- Molar hypodontia
______ are homeobox genes and constitute a large family of transcription factors. They induce cell-cell interactions during early development and initiate the cascades of co-regulated genes required to produce tissues are organs.
MSX genes
______ is a transcriptional repressor, and haploinsufficiency affects development of all teeth. Phenotypes depend upon where the mutation is and the effect on the protein structure and function.
MSX1
The Ser105Stop mutation is a complete absence of ________. The most severe phenotype is _____ and ______.
- MSX1 homeodomain
- Orofacial clefts
- Tooth agenesis
_______ is the general term that describes a group of inherited disorders characterized by ______________ (skin, hair, nails, teeth, sweat glands, nerves, and constituent parts of the ear and eye). There are over 150 types and the condition is divided into hidrotic and anhidrotic forms.
- Ectodermal dysplasia
- Aplasia or dysplasia of tissues of ectodermal origin
- Sparse fine or coarse curly hair
- Abnormally developed nails
- Frontal bossing
- Prominent lips
- Depressed midface and nasal bridge
- Soft, thin, and dry skin that’s prone to eczema
- Hypodontia occurs in 80% of cases
Extra-Oral Signs of Ectodermal Dysplasia
- Reduced number of sweat glands
- X-linked recessive
- Deletions within the EDA gene on chromosome X
- Triad of hypodontia, hypohidrosis, and hypotrichosis (sparse hair)
- Characteristic facial features: prominent forehead, wide eyebrows, saddle-shaped nose, thick everted lips, dry skin, and fine sparse hair
Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (EDA)
EDA Assosciated Hypodontia: Reduced _____ growth and lack of development of the _____ that appear extremely narrow and concave lingually. Teeth are ______ in shape, malformed and widely spread. Reduced ______ facial height.
- Alveolar bone
- Alveolar ridges
- Conical
- Vertical
Management of ED Hypodontia: ________ is the treatment of choice for ED patients. The jaws are positioned correctly in relation to each other and to the cranium. The maxilla of totally edentulous patients often require bone grafting procedures of ________ combined with bone grafting. Also, _____ for denture retention.
- Orthognathic surgical procedures
- Le Fort I
- Implant placement
_______ are teeth that are additional to the normal complement. Both dentitions are affected, although prevalence is lower in primary dentitions. The M:F is 2:1 (caucasians_ and 5.5-6.5:1 (Japanese).
Supernumerary Teeth
Sequelae of Supernumerary Teeth:
- _____ eruption of dentition
- ______ of eruption
- Displacement or rotation
- Crowding: abnormal ______ or premature space closing, ______, delayed or abnormal root development of permanent teeth, _____ formation, and eruption into ______.
- Normal
- Failure
- Diastema
- Dilaceration
- Cystic
- Nasal cavity
Classification of Supernumerary Teeth:
- Morphology (4)
- Location: (3)
- Conical, Tuberculate (Barrel Shaped), Supplemental, Odontoma
- Mesiodens, Paramolar, Distomolar
Etiology of _______ supernumerary teeth is linked to genetic mutations of specific genes (Runx2, APC).
Syndromic
Etiology of all ______ supernumerary teeth unknown; however, there is a clear hereditary component.
Non-syndromic
The most accepted theory of non-syndromic supernumerary teeth is localized and independent hyperactivity of the _______ results in the development of supernumerary teeth.
Dental lamina
_______ supernumerary teeth result from local, independent, conditioned hyperactivity of the dental lamina. The _______ of an additional tooth bud leads to a supplemental tooth.
- Supplemental
- Lingual extension
The ______ (dysmorphic) supernumerary tooth arises from proliferation of _______ of the dental lamina.
- Rudimentary
- Epithelial remnants
Syndromes associated with supernumerary teeth
- Cleft lip and palate (22%)
- Cleidocranial Dysplasia (CCD)
- Gardner’s Syndrome (FAP)
- Short stature
- Late closure of fontanels and sutures
- Aplasia of clavicles
- Hypertelorism (wide eyes)
- Low nasal bridge
- Supernumerary teeth
Cleidocrainal Dysplasia (CCD) Clinical Features
_______ has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and heterozygous mutations of _______, a transcription factor essential for bone and tooth development.
- Cleidocrainal Dysplasia (CCD)
- Runx2
