Oral biology final Flashcards
The color that results when the mucosa is constantly irritated and the epithelium becomes thicker
White
The type of dentin that continually form throughout ones life time
Secondary dentin
Each tooth develops from ___ or more growth centers known as developmental lobes that grow out from the tooth germ
4
These are incisal ridges on anterior teeth separated by developmental grooves
Mamelons
Anterior teeth have ___ facial lobes and ___ lingual lobes
3,1
Which molar usually has a 5th lobe/cuspid
1st molar
Which premolar may have 2 or 3 cusps
Mandibular 2nd
Mandibular teeth usually erupt ___ maxillary teeth
Before
All deciduous teeth are usually erupted by what age
2.5 years old
As the child grows the jaw also grows but the erupted teeth do not grow any larger, creating space and separations between the teeth called
Primate spacing
The first permanent teeth to erupt are usually the
First molars
Which teeth act as the foundation for the rest of the permanent denition
1st molars
It is not uncommon for permanent incisors to erupt ___ to deciduous Incisors while deciduous incisors are still in place
Lingually
Which teeth break the rule of mandibular teeth erupting before maxillary teeth
Maxillary 2nd premolars
Teeth that do not completely erupt, but remain embedded in bone, or soft tissue
Impacted teeth
As teeth erupt and meet the teeth in the opposing arch they form what is called
Occlusal plane
The period of denition that begins about 6 years of age and lasts while both primary and secondary teeth are present
Mixed dention
Which of the following is not a function of the teeth
Unscrewing bottle cap
The crown of the tooth is covered with
Enamel
The whole crown of the tooth that is covered by enamel, whether it is erupted or not
Anatomic crown
Any unerupted part of the tooth
Clinical root
The hardest tissue in the body
Enamel
The type of dentin that is laid down in response to caries or tramua
Tertiary/ Reparative dentin
Nutrition for cementum is derived from outside of the tooth through ___ coming directly from bone
Blood vessels
Incisors are designed to ___ food
Cut
Molars are designed to ____ food
Grind
A depression or concavity on a tooth
Fossa
An elevated portion of a tooth that runs in a line
Ridge
Spaces between the teeth that are occlusal to the contact areas
Embrasures
The widest part of the crown of the tooth is called the
Height of contour
How many succedaneous teeth are there?
20
Of the 3 possible anterioposterior relationships in primary occlusion which is the most common?
Mesial step
As the primary molars are exfoliated they are replaced by permanent premolars causing extra space called
Leeway space
Horizontal alignment of the teeth is due to the equilibrium of 2 factors the tongue, and
Lips and cheeks
When one or more teeth in the mandibular arch are located facial to the opposing maxillary teeth
Cross bite
When the anterior teeth do not touch, but are widely separated when their centric occlusion
Open bite
According to angles classification system the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary 1st molar occludes with the buccal groove of the mandibular 1st molar is
Class 1
In lateral mandibular glide side which no teeth are contacting is
No working side
In the general rules of tooth identification, if tooth roots curve they usually curve
Distally
Which teeth are the most commonly congenitally missing teeth after the third molars
Maxillary lateral incisors
What is the age of eruption of the permanent maxillary central incisors
7-8 years old
The smallest teeth in the entire dentition
Mandibular central incisors
The nerves in the pulp of the tooth elicit what type of response
Pain
if a tooth is lost a tooth in the opposing arch may erupt too far into the mouth
Supraeruption
The roots of molars tend to be ___ the more posteriorly they are positioned
Shorter
Which teeth are the longest in the entire dentition
Maxillary canines
Canines are designed to __ food
Hold and tear
AN area of the root that is not covered by cementum can cause
Sensitivity
Which of the premolars usually have 2 roots
Maxillary 1st premolar
Any ridge that runs from the cusp tip to the central groove of the occlusal surface of the tooth is
Triangular ridge
What makes the mandibular 1st premolar unique
A functional lingual cusp
The 3 cusp type of the mandibular 2nd premolar may have a groove pattern on the occlusal surface resembling what letter
Y
