arch perimeter

Question 16

Arch perimeter before treatment is referred to as:

Answer 16

baseline (T0)

Question 17

The elongation of the roots has nothing to do with:

Answer 17

tooth eruption

(rather the crown is pulling the root)

Question 18

From __ to __ years old, the primary dentition is replaced by the permanent dentition resulting in mixed dentition

Answer 18

6-13

Question 19

The permanent first molars erupt to the ____ of the primary dentition (no primary tooth replacement)

Answer 19

distal

Question 20

1st, 2nd, and 3rd molars do not:

Answer 20

replace primary dentition (erupt distal to primary dentition)

Question 21

Primary root resorption is a result of

Answer 21

permanent tooth eruption

Question 22

Permanent tooth eruption causes:

Answer 22

primary root resorption

Question 23

Put the following events in order:

A) primary tooth starts to resorb
B) permanent root develops
C) crown of permanent tooth is formed

Answer 23

1. Crown of permanent tooth is formed
2. Permanent root develops
3. Crown of permanent tooth is formed

Question 24

When does the primary tooth exfoliate and the permanent tooth erupt?

Answer 24

When the primary root is totally resorbed

Question 25

What happens when the primary root is totally resorbed?

Answer 25

the primary tooth exfoliates and the permanent tooth erupts

Question 26

When does the permanent tooth stop erupting?

Answer 26

when it reaches the occlusal plane or contacts an opposing tooth

Question 27

What gives the power to cause the primary root to resorb/baby tooth to fall out?

Answer 27

permanent tooth eruption

Question 28

What do we mean by "root development is not a main factor in eruption"

Answer 28

The root forms at the same time that the tooth erupts (IT DOES NOT PUSH THE CROWN UP)

Question 29

You shouldn't do a panoramic x-ray before the age of:

Answer 29

8

Question 30

For eruption of permanent dentition, there are variable patterns between:

Answer 30

3-4-5 (canine, premolar 1, premolar 2)

Question 31

The tooth replacement sequence is variable in terms of:

Answer 31

1. sequence 2. timing 3. position 4. numbers 5. shape

Question 32

What are tooth eruption patterns for teeth 3,4,5?

Answer 32

- 3,4,5 - 4,3,5 - 4,5,3

Question 33

At 13 years old, describe what dentition should look like:

Answer 33

most permanent teeth should be in

Question 34

The root of the permanent tooth has to be ___ formed PRIOR to extraction of primary tooth

Answer 34

2/3 formed

Question 35

variability in tooth numbers can be a result of:

Refers to the fusion of part of the root of a primary tooth to the underlying bone, which stops the tooth from erupting:

Answer 42
