25
What is the cell type and the function of the dental sac?
collagen fibers around enamel organs -differentiate into cementum, PDL, and bone
26
What is the cell type and the function of the dental papillae?
cells nearest IEE have basement membrane separation -outer cells differentiate into odontoblasts, whereas inner cells differentiate into pulp tissue
27
What tissues are in the enamel organ?
-OEE -stellate reticulum -stratum intermedium -IEE
28
What is the cervical loop?
junction of the outer and inner enamel epithelia -site of CEJ in adults
29
What is hertwig's root sheath?
fusion of apical extension of the outer and inner enamel epithelium
30
What determines the outline of the root dentin and the number of roots a tooth will have?
hertwigs root sheath
31
when is hertwig's root sheath removed?
before the cementum is laid down
32
Where does enamel stop forming?
at the end of the enamel organ
33
What causes the tooth to move occulusally?
the continued formation of dentin after enamel stops
34
What divides the pupal tissue and creates multiple roots
the epithelial modification of Hertwigs root sheath
35
When is the root formation completed?
1-4 years after the tooth erupts
36
What is the appositional stage of tooth development?
the time where the enamel and dentin are growing against each other and cause the proper formation
37
What does the stratum intermedium create?
alkaline phosphatse
38
What does the inner enamel epithelium become?
ameloblasts -> enamel
39
What do the peripheral cells of the dental papillae become?
odontoblasts -> dentin
40
What is mantle dentin?
the first formed dentin. -30-50 um thick -has type I and III collagen
41
How is the collagen in the matrix of the mantle dentin aligned?
perpendicular to the DEJ
42
What is the shape of ameloblasts actively secreting enamel?
tall columnar
43
What is the shape of ameloblasts that are inactive?
short columnar or cuboidal cells
44
What layers are combined to form the primary cuticle (Nasmyth's membrane) ?
-reduce ameloblasts -outer enamel epithelium -stellate reticulum -stratum intermedium
45
What is adontia?
refers to the total lack of tooth development
46
What is hypodontia?
denotes the lack of development of one or more teeth
47
What is oligdontia?
indicates the lack of formation of six or more teeth
48
What is hyperdontia?
development of an increased number of teeth (supernumerary)
49
When does the defect occur when there are supernumerary teeth?
during the initiation stage
50
What is a mesoden?
the most common manifestation of supernumerary tooth formation -an extra tooth formed right at the midline between the central incisors
51
What is an odontoma?
small fragments of tooth structure consisting of dentin, enamel, cementum, or any combination
52
When does an odontoma begin formation?
during the initiation stage
53
What is a complex odontoma?
conglomerate mass of enamel and dentin that bears no anatomical resemblance to a tooth
54
What is a compound odontoma?
comprised of multiple, small tooth like structures
55
What is the treatment for complex odontoma?
complete removal -is locally invasive and will continue growing -can result in a thinning mandible that is more likely to fracture
56
What is taurodontism?
an enlargement of the body and pulp chamber of multirooted teeth with apical displacement of the bifurcation
57
What is an example of taurodontism?
exceptionally long root truck with very short roots
58
What is dilaceration?
abnormal angulation or bend in the root
59
What is gemination?
defect that originates in the cap stage of development that results in large single rooted tooth with one pulp cavity -twinning in crown area
60
What is fusion?
when two teeth start growing together -two roots with only one apparent crown
61
What is the difference between gemination and fusion?
gemination: tooth count is normal when the double tooth is counted as one fusion: tooth count reveals a missing tooth when the double tooth is counted as one
62
What is concrescence?
defect that occurs during apposition and maturation that result in the union of root structures of two or more teeth by cementum
63
What is tubercle formation?
defect that occurs during the cap stage of development -results in an extra cusp due to effects on enamel organ
64
What is a dentigerous/ follicular cyst?
cyst that is attached to the CEJ -20% of all jaw cysts -originates by separation of dental follicle from the crown of an unerupted tooth
65
What type of cell do keratocystic odontogenic tumors arise from?
cell rests of the dental lamina
66
Where are 65% of keratocystic odontogenic tumors?
in the mandible
67
What type of cysts are keratocystic odontogenic tumors?
bone expanding cysts
68
What is the treatment of keratocystic odontogenic tumors ?
surgical removal -recurrance rate of 30%
69
What do the walls of the keratocystic odontogenic tumors look like?
stratified squamous epithelium with parakeratinosis at the luminal surface -lumen typically contains keratin
70
What is an ameloblastoma?
most common type of neoplastic lesion arising from odontoblastic epithelium
71
What are ameloblastomas considered?
locally invasive tumors
72
How do ameloblastomas appear on radiographs?
multilocular "soap bubble" -radioresistant
