Lecture 1 Flashcards
monophydont animals
rodents, dolphins
diphyodont
humans, cats, dog, cow, horse. have deciduous and permanent teeth
homodont
same type of teeth (shark, fish reptiles)
heterodont
teeth are different shapes: human, dog, cat
brachydont
short crown and long roots
dog, cat, human
hypsodont
long crown and short roots. continually erupt
two types of hypsodont teeth
radicular(closed true roots–have apex)–horse, cow cheek teeth
aradicular (rodent incisors, rabbits)
isognathous
equal jaws. occlusal surface aligned
anisognathous
unequal haws. mandible narrower than maxilla (dog, cat, cow, horse)
function of incisors
cut, scoop up, pick up,groom
canine function
pierce, hold, slash, tear
premolar function
hold, carry grind
dentigerous cyst
condition that occurs due to abnormal embryonic tooth development
embryonic tooth development
dental lamina. off of dental lamina there are invaginations where tooth bud starts to develop from. if have a secondary tooth, it also develops off of that lamina.
what does the dental sac form into
the structures that hold the tooth/support the tooth
what are the three stages of embryonic tooth development
bud
cap
bell
the sac around the enamel does what as the tooth erupts?
it opens, becomes part of the sulcus etc?
what happens if the dental sac doesn’t open into the oral cavity? what is this called?
it forms a dentigerous cyst (fluid production in sac that grows?). not painful but destroys tissues
apical (term)
root tip
coronal
crown area
cervical
neck area
rostral
towards nose
caudal
towards back
clinical crown
what is above the gum
anatomical crown
to the bottom of the sulcus?
attached gingiva
attached to bone. very important for tooth health
