Q

what are the 6 stages of tooth development and what happens in each

A
  1. initiation: cellular induction

24
Q

what occurs with the inner enamel epithelium in the apposition stage

A

IEE starts cuboidal (inactive)and becomes columnar (active)
-pre ameloblasts have receptors (fibronectin) that attract dental papilla cells (pre-odontoblasts)

25
Q

what do odontoblasts and ameloblasts do in the apposition stage

A

odontoblasts secrete pre-dentin matrix (mantle dentin) and ameloblasts sense that and secrete enamel matrix

26
Q

what happens to the enamel in the apposition stage

A

ameloblasts separates from basement membrane, uniform process due to alkaline phosphatase from stratum inermedium

27
Q

what happens to the dentin in the apposition stage

A

remains attached to basement membrane, becomes dentin tubules

28
Q

what is mantle dentin, what type of collagen does it have and which way are the fibrils oriented in relation to the DEJ

A

-first formed dentin
-30-50 um thick
-contains type 1 and 3 collagen
-collagen fibers are oriented perpendicular to the DEJ

29
Q

describe active ameloblasts in the apposition stage

A

tall columnar cells

30
Q

describe inactive ameloblasts in the apposition stage and what do they form

A

short columnar or elongated cuboidal cells
- at the final stage of mineralization the inactive ameloblasts of the OEE, stellate reticulum, and stratum intermedium form a membrane on the surface of the enamel called the primary cuticle

31
Q

what is another term for the primary cuticle

A

nasmyth’s membrane

32
Q

how long do roots take to completely develop after eruption and what happens to them over time

A

1-4 years
-the pulp chambers narrow and apical opening constricts with time

33
Q

what is hertwig’s epithelial root sheath

A

fusion and apical extension of the outer and inner enamel epithelia

34
Q

what does hertwig’s epithelial root sheath determine

A

the outline, shape, length of the root, it is removed before cementum is laid down

35
Q

what is anodontia

A

total lack of tooth development (no teeth)

36
Q

what is hypodontia

A

lack of development of one or more teeth

37
Q

what is oligodontia

A

indicates the lack of formation of 6 or more teeth

38
Q

what is hyperdontia

A

increased number of teeth

39
Q

when does hyperdontia occur in the developmental stages

A

40
Q

what is mesodens in hyperdontia

A

most common supernumerary tooth formation, between 8 and 9

41
Q

what is odontoma

A

small fragments of tooth structure consisting of dentin, enamel, cementum or any combination

42
Q

what is complex odontoma

A

comprised of a cognomina mass of enamel and dentin that bears no anatomic resemblance to a tooth. locally invasive and continue to expand, need to remove

43
Q

what is compound odontoma

A

comprised of multiple small tooth like structures, need to remove

44
Q

what is concresence

A

defect occuring during apposition and maturation stages that results in union of rooth structure of two or more teeth by cementum

45
Q

what is tubercle formation

A

defect occuring during the cap stage that results in an extra cusp due to effect on the enamel organ

46
Q

what is gemination and fusion

A

defect that originated during the cap stage of development and results in large single rooted tooth with one pulp cavity and exhibits twinning crown

47
Q

what is gemination

A

tooth count is normal when the double tooth is counted as one

48
Q

what is fusion

A

refers to a double tooth in which the tooth count reveals a missing tooth when the double tooth is counted as one

A

issue with hertwig’s rooth sheath

an enlargement of the body and chamber of multirooted teeth with apical displacement of the bifurcation (long root trunk with very short roots)
-low bifurcation

Q

what is a dilaceration

A

bend in the root, abnormal angulation

52
Q

what is a dentigerous cyst caused by

58
Q

what is an ameloblastoma and what does it look like on a radiograph

ameloblastoma
