Q

Do issues in tooth development usually occur by themselves?

A

no, there is usually an underlying disease/disorder that is causing the abnormal tooth development
-so it is crucial as dentist to recognize the signs in the oral cavity of children

27
Q

Characteristics of cleidocranial dysplasia:

A

-mutation in RUNX2 gene

28
Q

What does RUNX2 do?

A

master regulator of osteoblastogenesis and bone formation

29
Q

What is hypodontia?

A

missing one to five teeth

30
Q

What is oligodontia?

A

missing six or more teeth

31
Q

What is andodontia?

A

missing all teeth
-most severe and rare form (mostly syndromic)

32
Q

Worldwide prevalence of hypodontia:

A

6.4%

33
Q

Worldwide prevalence of missing third molars:

A

22.6%

34
Q

Worldwide prevalence of missing primary teeth:

A

rare
0.1-2.4%

35
Q

How many syndromes are associated with tooth agenesis?

A

over 60 different conditions

36
Q

what is the most common presentation of tooth agenesis?

A

isolated, non-syndromic trait

37

41
Q

Two most common mutated genes associated with tooth agenesis:

A

MSX1 and PAX9

42
Q

what does a mutation in AXIN2 cause?

A

tooth agenesis and colorectal cancer

43
Q

what are the major proteins of enamel?

A

-amelogenin
-ameloblastin
-enamelin
-Kallikrin 4
-Mmp-20

44
Q

What does amelogenin do?

A

stabilize the amorphous Ca-P phase
-self assemble and form HAP structure
*important in forming enamel

45
Q

What does ameloblastin do?

A

is it a cell adhesion protein, controls cell differentiation, maintain rod integrity

46
Q

What does enamelin do?

A

cooperates with amelogenin to control mineral nucleation and elongated growth

47
Q

What does Kallikrin 4 do?

A

digest enamel proteins during maturation stage helping their removal and hardening the final layer of enamel

48
Q

What does Mmp-20 do?

A

cleave amelogenin, ameloblastin, and enamelin at the secretory phase to make stable intermediates with defined functions

associated with osteogenesis imperfecta

59
Q

What is type II dentinogenesis imperfecta?

osteogenesis imperfecta
