Oral Histo Flashcards
Placed in the root canal
gutta-percha
as a general rule, teeth have ___ canal(s) (not true for all)
1
Max 1st molar has ____ roots and ___ canals. The roots are 2 on the ___ and 1 on the ____
3 roots 3 canals, 2 on B
The Scope of Endodontic treatment
Diagnosis Treat pain vital pulp therapy Regenerative procedures (trauma damaging root) Nonsurgical root canal treatment Retreatment of unsuccessful internal bleaching Endodontic surgery-last option after failed root canals Traumatic injuries
Vital pulp therapy
Pulp is still vital… place MTA ontop of exposed pulp; root will gain width and length
regenerative pulp therapy
pulp is necrotic; use apical barrier technique
The art of endodontics
consists of conducting technical procedures during root canal treatment
the science of endo
basic and clinical sciences related to bio and patho that guide the art of endo to diagnose and treat via EBD
apical foramen
terminal end of root canal
used to determine working length
apical foramen
if you obstruct the ____ severe pain will occur
apical foramen
remove material short of the apical foramen
bacteria and necrotic tissue will remain and the root canal will fail
Stages of tooth development
Bud, Cap, Bell
the tooth originates as a __________ (the dentinal lamina) on the surface of embryonic jaws
a band of epithelial cells
The bell shaped downgrowth is the _____ origin
enamel
development of the dental papilla
densely packed cells, derived from cells that migrated from neural crest cells
dental papilla comes from cells which migrate from the
neural crest cells
dental papilla comes from cells which migrate from the
neural crest cells
the differentiation of ____ from undifferentiated ectomesenchymal cells is intiated and controlled by the ectodermal cells of the ______ of the enamel organ
odontoblasts
inner dental epithelium
in the enamel organ, a(n) _______ differentiates first and ______ second,
ameloblast
odontoblast
______ dentin is deposited first, along the DEJ in a band about _____ wide
mantle
150um
only the newly formed band of dentinal matrix along the pulpal border is uncalcified…..Significance?
external root resorption and internal root resorption
_______ are the site of intitial dentin formation/deposition
cusp tips
what is the initial dentin called?
mantle dentin
what is the initial dentin called?
mantle dentin
mineralization proceeds by an increase in ________ of the dentin
mineral density
dentin development moves in which direction
vertically-forms incremental layers
using a _________ of odontoblast you can see the coronal area of the pulp organ including the capillaries
photomicrograph
the inner and outer enamel _______ cells of the enamel organ fuse to form the ______
epithelial cells
root sheath
After crown formation they form a double layer of cells termed the root sheath or ______
Hertwig’s Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS)
The root sheath originates at the point that ________
enamel deposits end
As the root sheath lengthens, it become the _____ of the root
architect? okay…
the ______ cells control the length, curvature, thickness and number of roots
inner root sheath cells
Root dentin is formed —> _______ –>…
cell layer break down
–> mesenchymal cells from the tooth follicle move between the epithelial rests to contact the root surface and differentiate into cementoblast to deposit on the surface
–> last is calcification into mature cementum
Root dentin is formed —> cell layer break down –> ______
mesenchymal cells from the tooth follicle move between the epithelial rests to contact the root surface and differentiate into cementoblast to deposit on the surface –> calcification into mature cementum
lateral canals (define)
channels of communication between pulp and PDL
Cause of lateral canal formation
fragmentation of a localized area of a root sheath before dentin formation
Result of lateral canals (function)
direct communication between the pulp and PDL
Location of lateral canals
anywhere specifically apical region and furcal area
Significance of lateral canals
pathways along which disease may extend in either direction
size and shape of pulp chamber and age
become asymmetrical and smaller, decrease in height and size overtime
what can happen to the pulp overtime
calcification due to chronic irritation or trauma
significance of a changing pulp
can lead to difficulties in locating, cleaning, and shaping the root canal space
Root maturation
young, developed teeth have a better prognosis for pulp survival than teeth with mature roots after trauma
Number of canals/roots
at least one canal must be present in each root, some roots have multiple canals of varying sizes and configurations
Number of canals of MB root on max 1st molar
90% of the time this root has two canals?
size and location of the apical foramen-clinical importance
effects of cementum deposition or resorption
locating the apical constriction
establishing the working length by radiographs and apex locators
induction
initiation and development of dentin, when dentin is formed it leads to the formation of enamel
formation-pulp function (explain)
odontoblasts form dentin
Pulp functions (4)
responsible for formation of dentin, enamel, and the root
Also nutrition (pulp supplies nutrients for each of these formations and maintains the integrity
Defense: forming dentin in response to trauma or caries. Initiates immune response to foreign substances
Sensation: nerves in the pulp respond to stimuli….
Fast and sharp pain is the result of stimulation of the _______
myelinated sensory nerves while slow dull pain are unmyleinated nerve fibers
Direct innervation theory-based on what belief? Proven?
based on the belief that the nerves extend to the DEJ- however studies do not show nerves present at DEJ
most accepted theory for dentin hypersensitivity
hydrodynamic hypothesis
Transduction theory says what
the odontoblastic process is the receptor and that it conducts the pain in nerve endings in the peripheral pulp and in the dentinal tubules
Hydrodynamic theory
stimuli cause fluid flow through the dentinal tubules
This disturbance will lead to the activation of nociceptors in the inner dentin and peripheral pulp
Pulp sensation through the dentin and enamel is usually _____and ____ and is transmitted by _____ fibers
fast and sharp
ADelta fibers-narrow myelinated fibers
C fibers
slow conducting, dull, throbbing pain
fibers which dominate during inflammation and pulpal pain is dull
C fibers
