A

Abnormal bend or curve (root of the tooth)

-Can also happen on the crown
- caused by trauma to tooth fern during development

Q

Microdontia

A

One or more teeth are abnormally small teeth
Involving a single tooth is more common -Maxillary lateral incisor (pegged lateral) and maxillary 3rd molar most commonly involved

Q

Multiocular

A

Radiographic appearance in which many circular radiolucencies exist; can look like a soap bubble or honey comb

22
Q

Nodule

A

Small solid mass that can be detected through touch

23
Q

Oligodontia

A

Subcategory of hypodontia in which 6 or more teeth are missing

24
Q

Predilection

A

Disposition in favor of something “preference”

25
Proliferation
Multiplication of cells
26
stomodeum
Embryonic invagination that becomes the oral cavity
27
Supernumerary
Excess of the normal or regular number as in teeth Formation of extra tooth buds in the dental lamina or the splitting of already existing buds May be in primary or permanent Most often in the maxilla Smaller than the other teeth may not erupt
28
Mesiodens
Most common supernumerary Located between maxillary incisors Maybe inverted when seen in radiographs
29
Distomolar
Second most common supernumerary tooth Located distal to the 3rd molar
30
Multiple supernumerary teeth may be associated with
Cleidocranial dysplasia or Gardner syndrome
31
True generalized microdontia
Seen in dwarf; all teeth are smaller than normal
32
Generalized relative microdontia
normal sized teeth appear small in a large jaw Seen in gigantism
33
Abnormalities in the shape of teeth
-Germination -fusion -concrescence -dilaceration -Enamel pearl -talon cusp -taurodontism -dens in dente -Dens evaginatus -Supernumerary roots
34
Gemination
Single tooth attempts to divide in 2 Most common deciduous tooth -Primary mandibular incisor Most common permanent tooth -Maxillary incisors Looks like 2 crowns joined by a notch in the incisal area Pt still has the correct amount of teeth
35
Fusion
2 normally separated adjacent tooth germs Most common in the anterior region (incisors) Single large crown Pt is usually missing 1 tooth
36
Hypercementosis
Excessive cementum on the roots of teeth -happens in adults increases the amount with age - associated with many local and systemic factors - no treatment necessary
37
Enamel pearl
- Small, spherical enamel projection on the root surface -maxillary molars -removal maybe necessary for perio problems -clinical; maybe mistaken for calculus - uncommon
38
Talon cusp
Cingulum area of maxillary or mandibular permanent incisor - Made of enamel and dentin; contains the pulp horn - May interfere with occlusion -Treatment; remove if occlusion interfere
39
Taurodontism
Elongated pulp chambers and short roots - in deciduous and permanent -no treatment
40
Dens evaginatus
Accessory enamel cusp on the occlusal of tooth surface - most common on mandibular premolar’s -caused by he proliferation and out pouching of the enamel -pulp horn may be in the enamel cusp
41
Supernumerary roots
Any tooth -Most common single rooted teeth; Mandibular bicuspid and cuspids -Mast common multi rooted teeth; maxillary and mandibular 3rd molars
42
Abnormalities tooth structure
- enamel hypoplasia -Enamel hypocalcification - endogenous staining of the teeth -Regional ondontodysplasia
43
Factors that cause enamel hypoplasia
-Amelogenesis imperfecta Febrile illness (measles, chickenpox, scarlet fever) Vitamin deficiency Infection of a deciduous tooth Ingestion of fluoride Congenital syphilis Birth injury, premature birth Idiopathic factors
44
When does enamel hypoplasia occur?
During enamel matrix formation when there is damage to the ameloblasts
45
Enamel hypoplasia caused by febrile illness or vitamin deficiency
- only happens to the teeth forming at the time of injury
46
Enamel hypoplasia resulting from local infection or trauma
-if it’s a single tooth its a turner tooth - color will range from yellow to brown or severe pitting deformity can occur
47
Enamel hypoplasia resulting from fluoride ingestion
- mottled discoloration of enamel - 2-3 time the amount of fluoride leads to white flecks and chalky opaque areas of enamel -4X’s causes black or brown staining
48
Enamel hypocalcification
-worst because enamel is soft - A chalky white spot on the middle 1/3 of smooth crowns
49
Endogenous staining of teeth
Result of deposition of substance during tooth development -Tetracycline stain -Erythroblastosis fetalis: Rh incompatibility -neonatal liver disease -congenital porphyria: inherited metabolic disease
50
Regional odontodysplasia (ghost teeth)
-Very thin enamel and dentin present - treatment; extraction
51
Abnormalities of tooth eruption
Impacted teeth- obstruction Embedded teeth- lack of eruptive force -between 12-24 years
52
Ankylosed teeth
-Deciduous molars are most common -teeth cementum fused to bone -prevents exfoliation of deciduous tooth and of eruption of underlying adult tooth -difficult to extract
