38
Q

2 ways to classify teeth

A
  • type of growth

- period of function

39
Q

2 classifications of teeth according to type of growth

A
  • brachydont

- hypsodont

40
Q

brachydont teeth

A
  • short tooth
  • finite growth period
  • limited period of eruption
  • humans, carnivores, pigs, ruminant incisors
41
Q

hypsodont teeth

A
  • continuously erupting through gingiva
  • some have finite period of growth (horse teeth, ruminant cheek teeth)
  • some continuously growing (boar/elephant tusks, rodent/lagomorph incisors)
42
Q

2 classifications of teeth according to period of function

A
  • deciduous (baby teeth)

- permanent (adult teeth)

43
Q

crown

A
  • part of tooth distal to neck
  • clinical crown is part exposed through gingiva
  • composed of layers of enamel over dentin
44
Q

gingiva

A
  • gum
  • anchored to enamel by basal lamina-like substances and hemidesmosomes
  • attachment at tooth neck
45
Q

neck

A

constriction in the tooth just below surface of gingiva

46
Q

root

A
  • anchored in a bony alveolus

- composed of mineralized dentin covered by cementum

47
Q

pulp cavity

A
  • located in center of tooth

- contains nerves, vascular supply, fibroblasts, colagen fibers

48
Q

periodontal ligament

A
  • consists of perforating collagen fibers
  • anchored in both bony alveolus of jaw and in cementum of root
  • acts as shock absorber
  • holds tooth in place
49
Q

list mineralized tissues in teeth

A
  • enamel
  • dentin
  • cementum
50
Q

enamel

A
  • formed by ameloblasts

does enamel form after eruption of the tooth

A

no
