Oral pathology-Dr. Flores Flashcards
Enviromental alterations of teeth
- During tooth developement
- Post developement structure loss
- Discoloration of teeth
- Local distturbances in eruption
Eniromnental effects on tooth structure developement
- Turner’s Hypoplasia
- Dental Fluorosis
- Antineoplastic therapy
- Syphilitic hypoplasia
Turner’s Hypoplasia
- Enamel defect in permanent teeth
- Secondary to:
- periapical inflammation
- trauma to deciduous tooth

What condition?

- Turner’s Hypoplasia
- enamel defect in permanent teeth
- secondary to:
- periapical inflammation
- trauma to decidious teeth
Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization
- enamel defect of 1 or more permanent 1st molar
- Sensitive
- Difficult to anesthetize

What condition?

- Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization
- enamel defect of 1 or more permanent 1st molar
- sensitive
- hard to anesthetize
Hypoplasia caused by Antineoplastic Therapy
- Secondary to:
- Radiation
- Chemo
- Common in <12 y.o.
Dental Fluorosis
- Hypomaturation of enamel
- increased porosity/pits w/discoloration
- anterior teeth, estheticss
- cariest resistant
- critical period: 2nd and 3rd yr of life
Syphilitic Hypoplasia
- aka congenital syphilis
- Hutchinson’s incisors
- Straight-Edge screwdrive
- incisal hypoplastic notch
- Mulberry molars
- constricted occlusal table
- Disorganized surface anatomy
- Hutchinson’s incisors
Post-Developemental loss of tooth structure
- Abrasion
- Erosion
- Attrition
- Abfraction
Erosion
- caused by nonbacterial chemical agent
- energy drinks
- Dissolution of tooth structure by acid
- enamel more resistant than dentin
- Patterns:
- maxillary facial-dietary
- Maxillary palatal-Gastric “Perimolysis”
- Anterior incisal-enviromental

What condition?

Erosion
Abrasion
- Mechanical action of external agent
- toothpicks
Attrition
- Tooth-to tooth contact during occlusion and mastication
Abfraction
- loss of tooth structure due to occlusal stress
- away from loading point
Internal vs External Root resorption
- Internal:
- Cells in pulp
- rare
- secondary to pulpal injury
- may result in perforation
- Types:
- inflammatory
- pink tooth of Mummery
- Replacement or metaplastic
- inflammatory
- Tx: remove associated tissue
- External:
- cells in PDL
- common
- “Moth-eaten” irregular defect
- normal pulp canal
- types of cervical resorption:
- invasive cervical
- multiple idopathic
Enviromental Discolorations of teeth: Extrinsic vs intrinsic
- Extrinsic
- Foods
- Drinks
- Gingival hemorrhage
- restoration material
- Medicines
- Intrinsic
- Amelogenesis imperfecta
- Dentinogenesis imperfecta
- Dental Fluorosis
- Erythropoietic Porphyria
- Hyperbilirubinemia
- localized RBC breakdown
- Medicines
Discoloration of teeth: Treatments-Extrinsic vs intrinsic
- Extrinsic:
- Prophy
- Pumic
- Chemicals
- jets
- Intrinsic:
- Bleaching
- Restoration
Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria
- aka Gunther disease
- incresaed synthesis & excretion of porphyrins & precursors
- Red teeth

What condition?

Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria
(Gunther DIsease)
Local Disturbances associated w/delayed eruption
- Ankylosis of deciduous tooth
Anykylosis
- stops erupting after emerging
- Unknown pathogenesis
- Loss of PDL space on x-rays
- leads to perio problems

What condition?

Ankylosis
What condition?

Ankylosis
