Q

describe the intra-osseous eruptive phase

A

root formation - proliferation of epithelial root sheath then dentine and pulp formation

movement of developing tooth occlusally or incisally - slow, several months

formation of gubernacular cord - links tooth follicle to gingiva

reduced enamel epithelium rises with oral epithelium to form junctional epithelium

Q

describe the extra-osseous eruption phase

A

penetration of crown tip ruptures epithelium - fast, 1-2 weeks

formation of attached gingivae

crown moves through mucosa until contacts opposing tooth - slow, several months

environmental factors determine final position (forces from cheeks, lips, tongue)

Q

describe the post eruptive phase of eruption

A

movement after tooth reaches occlusal plane

  • response to growing alveolar bone and jaws
  • response to attrition and abrasion - compensating for wear
  • tooth wear of proximal surface leads to mesial drift
  • over eruption due to loss of opposing teeth

Q

What do we tell the patient when we fit a removable appliance ?

A

Wear Full-time

Keep teeth and appliance clean - 2x daily minimum and every time after eating. (Can be worn for eating but remove for tooth brushing.)

Use a daily fluoride mouthwash

Avoid sugary food and drinks especially carbonated drinks

Avoid hard, sticky foods

May want to remove for some sports

initially speech will be affected

excess saliva

eating might feel awkward

teeth being moved might be painful.

Advise whom to Contact if patient has any problems

93
Q

what happens in stage 3 of embryogenesis

A

segmentation

embryonic and abembryonic poles

94
Q

what happens after the primitive groove is formed

A

embryo with somites and neural groove formation

95
Q

which cell migration is important in development of face

A

neural crest

96
Q

how does the neural tube dorm

A

neural folds fuse to form neural tube at end of week 3

97
Q

the neural tube fuses at the end of week 3, failure to fuse will lead to what?

A

spina bifida

98
Q

the neural tube develops into the brain and spinal cord, what will failure to develop lead to

A

anencephaly - cerebral hemispheres and cranial vault absent

99
Q

neural crest cells develop along the neural groove and then undergo migration to differentiate into many cell types such as…

A

spinal and autonomic ganglia

Schwann cells

adrenal medulla

100
Q

where is the ectomesenchyme derived from

A

neural crest

101
Q

what does ectomesenchyme contribute to

A

branchial arch cartilage

bone and connective tissue proper

dental tissues - pulp dentine cement and PDL

102
Q

where are pulp dentine cementum and PDL derived from

A

ectomesenchyme

103
Q

when does formation of the face occur in utero

A

first 8 weeks

104
Q

defects of the face are closely related to defects where else

A

anterior brain

105
Q

what cells form the majority of the face

A

migrating neural crest cells

106
Q

what occurs when there is failure of fusion between the palatine processes or facial processes

A

cleft formation

107
Q

why do cleft lip and alveolus occur independently of cleft palate and vice versa

A

the upper lip and anterior palate have different embryological origins to posterior palate and fuse at different times

108
Q

where are mandibular and maxillary processes derived from

A

first pharyngeal arch

109
Q

where is the operculum and sinus cervicalis derived from

A

2nd pharyngeal arch

110
Q

the skull can be divided into two parts. what are the two parts

A

neurocranium - protective case of brain

viscerocranium - skeleton of face

111
Q

give examples of intramembranous bones

A

vault of skull
maxilla
most of mandible

112
Q

how is intramembranous bone formed

A

bone is deposited directly into primitive mesenchymal tissue

bone spicules form which radiate from primary ossification centres to periphery

progressive bone formation leads to fusion of adjacent bony centres

113
Q

how is endochondral bone formed

A

bones are preceded by a hyaline cartilage

several centres of ossification which eventually fuse

114
Q

which bones are formed by endochondral ossification

A

base of skull

115
Q

where do cartilaginous growth centres remain at birth

A

between spend and occipital bones

nasal septum

116
Q

intramembranous ossification is incomplete at birth and there are widening left on the vault of cranium. what are these called and what are their function

A

fontanelles - allow flexibility during birth

117
Q

when does the ant. and post. fontanelle close

A

anterior - 2 years
posterior - 1 year

118
Q

why does growth continue to occur at fibrous sutures until about 7

A

intracranial pressure

119
Q

maxilla and mandible develop adjacent to preexisting cartilaginous skeletons, what is the name of these?

A

maxilla - develops adjacent to nasal capsule

mandible - develops adjacent to meckels cartilage

120
Q

describe the growth of the mandible

A

develops adjacent to pre existing mockers cartilage

develops as several units responding to different stimuli - condylar, angular, coronoid, body and alveolar unit

3 main secondary sites of cartilage formation - condylar, coronoid and symphyseal

coronoid disappears before birth, condylar growth continues until 20, midline symphysis uses a few months after birth

121
Q

what are the 5 units of mandible in development

A

body
angular
alveolar
