A
  • Occurs between 5th and 6th week of prenatal life

- Occurs in 3 stages: BUD stage, CAP stage (proliferation), BELL stage (histodifferentiation)

Q

Enamel

A
  • Translucent, calcified substance that covers the anatomical crown and protects the dentin
  • Hardest tissue in the body, can endure 100,000 psi
  • 96% inorganic minerals, 1% organic mineral, 3% water

16
Q

Hard palate structure

A

Incisive papilla, palatine raphe, palatine rugae

17
Q

Gingiva

A

-Specialized masticatory mucosa, firm and resistant
-Unattached gingiva
-Gingival margin, gingival sulcus, epithelial attachment,
interdental papillae

18
Q

Lining mucosa

A
  • Found on inside of lips, cheeks, vestibule and under the tongue
  • Thin and fragile
19
Q

What is the chief function of pulp?

A

The formation of dentin. It furnishes nourishment
to the dentin; provides sensation to the tooth; and responds to irritation, either by forming reparative secondary dentin or by becoming inflamed.

20
Q

Oral mucosa consists of 3 types:

A
Masticatory mucosa (hard palate), Lining Mucosa
(lips, cheeks), and Specialized Mucosa (tongue)
21
Q

The alveolar socket is…

A

The cavity within the alveolar process in which the root of the tooth is held by the periodontal ligament

22
Q

What is the unattached gingiva?

A

Portion of gingiva that extends from the gingival crest to the crest of the bone

23
Q

What does interdental papilla do?

A

Helps prevent food from packing between the teeth

24
Q

What are the second molars called?

A

The second molars are often canned the 12-year molars because they erupt when a child is about 12-years old

25
Q

How man proximal surfaces foes a tooth have?

A

2

26
Q

How many quadrants does the mouth have?

A

4

27
Q

What does each quadrant contains?

A

Central incisor, lateral incisor, cuspid, 1st bicuspid,

2nd bicuspid, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd molar

28
Q

What is the universal numbering system?

A

Teeth are numbered from right maxillary 3rd molar (#1) to

right mandibular 3rd molar (#2)

29
Q

How is the primary numbering system used?

A

Teeth are labeled A-T

30
Q

What are the surfaces of the tooth?

A
  • Facial surface: Towards the lips or cheek
  • Mesial surface: Proximal surface closest to the midline of the arch
  • Distal surface: Orientated away from midline of the arch
  • Lingual surface: Faces towards the tongue
  • Embrasure: Interproximal space that isn’t occupied
  • Diastema: Interproximal space with no contact point
31
Q

Vertical overlap

A

Extension of maxillary teeth over mandibular counterparts (overbite)

32
Q

Curve of Spee

A

Slight curved plane of the lower teeth

33
Q

Curve of Wilson

A

Concave curve of the mandibular arch

34
Q

Occlusional plane

A

Combination of the Curve of Wilson and the Curve of Spee

35
Q

Dental Angle Class I

A

Normal

36
Q

Dental Angle Class II

A

Retrognathic (overbite)

37
Q

Dental Angle Class III

A

Prognathic (underbite)
