Midterm I: Intro perio + Odontogenesis Flashcards
what is root dilaceration
projection from root
concrescence
cementum of two teeth join together.
talons cusp
extra cusp on labial aspect of maxillary lateral incisor
crown dilaceration
projection from crown
taurodontism
vertical enlargement of body/pulp of tooth taking up part of the root, as a result the forcation of the root is moved down
enamel pearl
enamel spot on root surface (often at furcation)
what genes are involved in dental anomalies
- bone morphogenic protein (MPG)
- fibroblast growth factor (FgF)
- Sonic hedgehog (SHH)
- Wingless-related integration site (Wnt)
- ectodysplasin A (Eda)
what are some types of drugs that may cause dental anomalies
chemotherapy and anti-epilepsy drugs
what are the 3 risk factors for teeth deformities
genetic
medications
malnutrition (vitamins and minerals)
what occurs in the initiation stage of odontogenesis
the dental lamina forms - it is a ‘swelling’ on the oral epithelium (stratified squamous)
- within the dental lamina a DENTAL PLACODE (or initiation knot/transient signaling center) sends signals to dental mesenchyme below. informing cells around that odontogenesis will begin. SHH, WNT, BMP and FGF are all involved.
- odontogenic potential of oral epithelium - if you transferred dental placode to another part of the body, will form a tooth
what occurs in the bud stage of odontogenesis
start of morphogenic stage
-dental lamina continues to extend into mesenchyme forming ‘tooth bud’ protrusion at the end
-a condensation of ectomesenchyme cells forms around the tooth bud
(still label with oral epithelium at the top, then dental lamina then tooth bud)
-ectomesenchyme assumes the odontogenic potential
what occurs at the cap stage of odontogenesis
‘enamel organ’ forms- consists of outer enamel epithelium- cuboidal ep, inner enamel epithlelium- columnar ep, and stellate reticulum in the middle.
- condensation fo ectomesenchyme becomes the dental sac or dental follicle. a little groove in the enamel organ /protrusiion of dental sac is called the dental papilla
- outer and inner enamel epithelium start to store glycogen
- stellate reticulum cells produce glycosaminoglycans
- enamel knot is cluster of nondividing epithelial cells involved in signaling and pattern formation of cusps- differential gene expression starts :
- – for incisors: Msx-1 , Msx-2, and Alx-3 in presumptive incisor mesenchyme
- – for presumptive molar region : Barx-1, Dlx-1/-2
(btw, dental lamina is still above the enamel organ)
(dental papilla will become dental pulp and odontoblasts, and dental follicle will become cementoblasts, PDL, and alveolar bone proper-part coming in direct contact w root viapdl)
what occurs in the bell stage of odontogenesis
in bell->cap stage - secondary enamel knots form for premolars and molars - two protrusions with enamel knots (signalers)
Bell stage:
-crown shape is established
-enamel knot dissapears
-formation of stratum intermedium (inside of IEE)
-dental lamina breaks into islands of epithelial cells (epithelial rest of serres)
-cervical loop at edges ; starts root formation
-mineralization starts - amelogenesis dentinogenesis
when does permanent tooth formation occur?
starts during cap and bell stage of the deciduous predecessor . arises from the dental lamina of deciduous tooth for incisors, premolars and canines.. Molars have no deciduous predecessors
what is the late bell stage
ending of bell stage- increase amounts of minerals, increased size of crystals. maturation of crystals, completion of crown formation.
what are the topics to address for gingival health?
color
contour
consistency
bleeding upon probing?
what will determine the color of gingiva
vascular supply and thickness/degree of keratinization.
should be a coral pink/salmon
what is the contour/shape of gingiva
contour is the papilla filling the embrasure space (b/w teeth) comes to a point when gingiva is healthy.
also free gingival margin - should come to a knife edge.
((((-will be impacted by location/size of proximal contact and dimensions of gingival embrasures)))
what should gingiva consistency be?
firm and resilient, orange peel texture is healthy (not always there).
where on tooth should bone be
normal/healthy bone should be 1-2 mm apical to the CEJ
