23
Q

midline

A

midsagittal plane; median, center of the arch

24
Q

arches

A

maxillary and mandibular

25
Q

quadrant

A

2 per arch = 4 total

26
Q

sextants

A

3 per arch = 6 total

27
Q

alveolar process

A

bony extension for both maxilla and mandible that contains each tooth socket

28
Q

alveolus

A

bony socket for roots of tooth/teeth
held in the alveolar process with the periodontal ligament

29
Q

gingiva

A

ends where pale pink ends and becomes darker
gums
external portion of the periodontium

30
Q

periodontal ligament

A

joins the cementum to the alveolar bone

31
Q

anteriors

A

central incisors, lateral incisors, canines

32
Q

posteriors

A

premolars (bicuspids), molars

33
Q

form and function of teeth

A

mastication, esthetics, phonetics

34
Q

mastication

A

biting and cutting, piercing and tearing, grinding

35
Q

incisors

A

single rooted with an incisal edge, front of mouth, cut food without heavy force, central and lateral

36
Q

canines

A

cuspids, corners of each arch, cutting and tearing food, requires force, one canine per quad in each primary and secondary dentition

37
Q

premolars

A

cross between canines and molars, tear and hold food, broader surface for grinding food, two sets on permanent dentition, no premolars in primary dentition

38
Q

molars

A

larger than premolars, more cusps, chewing/grinding, two sets in the primary dentition; 3 sets in the secondary

39
Q

teeth protect and preserve the _______

A

periodontium

40
Q

teeth provide a ______ for food

A

pathway

41
Q

incisors shape

A

labial/lingual: trapezoid
proximal: triangle

42
Q

canines shape

A

labial/lingual: pentagon
proximal: triangle

43
Q

premolars shape

A

buccal/lingual: pentagon
proximal: trapezoid (Max), rhomboid (Mand)

44
Q

molars shape

A

buccal/lingual: trapezoid
proximal: trapezoid (Max), rhomboid (Mand)

45
Q

anatomical crown

A

part of the tooth that is usually covered by enamel

46
Q

clinical crown

A

the part of the tooth that projects/is visible above the gum

47
Q

anatomical vs clinical crown

A

clinical crown is part of the anatomical crown that is visible and not covered by gingiva

48
Q

root

A

anatomical root: part of the tooth that is covered with cementum and is found below the CEJ
clinical root: anatomical root covered by gingival tissue (not visible in the mouth)

49
Q

cementoenamel junction (CEJ)

A

line around perimeter of tooth where the enamel covering the crown of the tooth meets the cementum covering the root
debridement:
sensitivity, distinguish CEJ from hard deposit

50
Q

dentin

A

hard, calcified tissue covered by enamel and/or cementum
largest
harder than bone, softer than enamel

51
Q

dentino-enamel junction

A

boundary between the enamel and the underlying dentin

52
Q

pulp cavity/space

A

center of the tooth; entire space that is occupied by the pulp
most vital, living tissue
blood vessels and nerves
consists of: chamber, canal, horn

53
Q

DAQT system

A

D- Dentition
A-Arch
Q-Quadrant
T-Tooth

54
Q

palmer system

A

consists of a symbol designating the quadrant of the tooth and a number indicating the position from the midline
adult teeth 1–>8
primary teeth A–>E

55
Q

universal system

A

permanent teeth numbered 1–>32
primary teeth A–>T
count continues from quad 1–>2 then drops to quad 3

56
Q

international standards organization (ISO) system

A

by WHO, based on FDI
two-digit numbering system… first number is quadrant (#1-2-3-4), second number is the tooth from the midline of the face (#1-#8)
primary teeth first number is quadrant (#5-6-7-8), second number is tooth from midline (#1-#5)

57
Q

iso system for sextants

A

starts upper right posterior then moves anterior to upper left posterior then lower left posterior and around
