LESSON 3 (ENAMEL, DENTIN, CEMENTUM DEFECTS) Flashcards
ENAMEL DEFECTS
ENAMEL HYPOPLASIA
ENAMEL HYPOCALCIFICATION
AMELOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
an incomplete or defective formation of the organic enamel matrix of teeth
ENAMEL HYPOPLASIA
defect in quantity and shape of enamel
ENAMEL HYPOPLASIA
True or false
In ENAMEL HYPOPLASIA it has normal hardness
True
defect in quality and color of enamel
ENAMEL HYPOCALCIFICATION
normal amounts of enamel are produced but are
hypomineralized
ENAMEL HYPOCALCIFICATION
True or false
In ENAMEL HYPOCALCIFICATION its enamel is softer than normal
True
rickets
Nutritional Deficiency
→ exanthematous diseases (measles,
chickenpox, scarlet fever)
→ systemic diseases
Nutritional Deficiency
ingestion of fluoride-containing drinking water during the time of tooth formation may result in _____
mottled enamel
Mottled Enamel or Fluorosis
→ mild to moderate fluorosis
o ranges clinically from white enamel
spots to “mottled” brown and white
discoloration
True or False
True
appears as pitted, irregular, and discolored enamel
severe fluorosis
In Congenital Syphilis it
involves the maxillary and mandibular permanent _____ and the _____
incisors, first molars
What etiological factor?
anterior teeth
o Hutchinson’s teeth
Congenital Syphilis
molars
o mulberry molars (Moon’s molars, Forunier’s molars)
Congenital Syphilis
hypoplastic teeth
Congenital Syphilis
decreased level of calcium in blood
Hypocalcemia
vitamin D deficiency and parathyroid deficiency
Hypocalcemia
usually involves a single tooth
Local Infection (Abscess) or Trauma
most commonly one of the permanent
maxillary incisors or a maxillary or
mandibular premolar
Local Infection (Abscess) or Trauma
In Local Infection (Abscess) or Trauma, what color is the mild?
brownish discoloration
severe
o pitting and irregularity of the tooth crown
Local Infection (Abscess) or Trauma
Turner’s teeth, Turner’s hypoplasia
Local Infection (Abscess) or Trauma
refers to a group of hereditary disorders of enamel formation in both dentitions
AMELOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
hereditary brown opalescent teeth
AMELOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
teeth erupt with insufficient amount of enamel from pits and grooves to complete absence (aplasia)
HYPOPLASTIC
abnormal contour and absent interproximal contact points evident
HYPOPLASTIC
the quantity of enamel is normal but it is soft and friable
HYPOCALCIFIED
fractures and wears readily
HYPOCALCIFIED
color ranges from white opaque to yellow to brown teeth darkens with age
HYPOMATURATION
radiographically, enamel appears reduced in bulk, often showing a thin layer over occlusal and interproximal surfaces
HYPOMATURATION
dentin and pulp chamber appears normal and are not
caries prone
HYPOMATURATION
treatment of HYPOMATURATION
no treatment necessary other than cosmetic restoration
an autosomal dominant condition affecting both deciduous and permanent teeth
