Q

Pulp

A

Middle of tooth

28
Q

Pulp consists of

A

Chamber, canal, and horn

29
Q

Functions of the pulp in teeth

A

Vascular-supplies blood
Neurological- sensation
nourishment-

30
Q

Anatomical crown-

A

The portion of the tooth covered with enamel (white area)

31
Q

Clinical crown-

A

Portion of the tooth seen in oral cavity

-starts at Gingiva

32
Q

Anatomical root-

A

Covered with cementum

33
Q

Clinical root-

A

Not seen in oral cavity

34
Q

Acrodont attachment-

A

Teeth are fused to the height of the alveolar ridge

ex: snakes

35
Q

Pleurodont attachment-

A

Teeth are fused to the side of alveolar ridge

Ex: alligators and lizards

36
Q

Thecodont attachment-

A

Teeth held in jaw by root. Alveolar bone around root.

Ex: humans

37
Q

Cementoenamel junction (CEJ)

A

Where cementum and enamel meet

30% meet
60% overlap
10% don’t meet (gap) (dentin more sensitive)

38
Q

Dentinenameljunction (DEJ)-

A

Where dentin and enamel meet

39
Q

Dentinocementum junction (DCJ)-

A

Where dentin and cementum meet

A

What we call bone that supports teeth and surrounds

41
Q

Apical foramen-

A

Opening near apex of tooth

42
Q

Furcation-

A

Branching of tooth with more than one root

Bi- 2 roots, molars mostly, one premolar

Tri- 3 roots

43
Q

Root trunk-

A

“Unbranched” portion of multirooted tooth

44
Q

Root apex-

A

End of root

45
Q

Periodontal ligament (PDL)
