ORAL PATHOLOGY lab Flashcards
teeth which are smaller than normal
microdontia
all teeth are smaller than normal
true generalized microdontia
common in dwarfism
true generalized microdontia
normal or slightly smaller than normal teeth are present in jaws that are somewhat larger than normal
relative generalized microdontia
results spacing
relative generalized microdontia
“Peg-lateral”
Microdontia involving only a single tooth
most commonly affected teeth:
maxillary lateral incisor & 3rd molar
-Maxillary lateral incisor
Microdontia involving only a single tooth
peg-shaped or cone-shaped
crown, root shorter than usual
Microdontia involving only a single tooth
larger teeth than normal
macrodontia
all teeth are larger than normal
True Generalized Macrodontia
the presence of normal or slightly larger than
normal teeth in small jaw
Relative Generalized Macrodontia
uncommon
Macrodontia of single tooth
also known as twinning
gemination
splitting toothgerm
gemination
it is the occurs when two adjacent tooth germs unite
fusion
joined by thier crowns or thier roots
fusion
may be made at the dentin
fusion
united by cementum only
concrescence
causes of concrescence
1.traumatic injury
2. crowding of the teeth
resembles an eagle talon
talon’s cusp
aka dens in dente
-dens invaginatus
dilated composite ondontome
Location: projects lingually from the cingulum
area
talon’s cusp
commonly affects Mx & Mnd Permanent Incisors
talons cusp
talons cusp problems:
- esthetics
2.caries control
3.occulusal accommodation (bitting)
its a Invagination into a deep groove in a
tooth, frequently seen in the lingual pit area
