Q

What does this image show and how do we treat it?

Q

What does this image show and how do we treat it?

A

These are Neonatal or natal teeth (Normally lower central incisors)

To treat you may have to smooth out the teeth, if like in this case they are causing an ulcer under the tounge.

Q

What does this image show and how do we treat it?

A

This is an erruption cyst caused by blood getting into the follicle space when a tooth is erupting.

It will resolve as the tooth errupts.

Q

How is the path for tooth erruption cleared?

A

Follicle is activated to initate osteoclasts to nibble away at the crestal bone.

AND

the primary root is resorbed.

21
Q

Compare primary and permanent molars

A

Primary molars are wider mesiodistally and more bulbous.

22
Q

Compare the roots of primary molars compared to that of pemanent molars

A

The roots of primary teeth tend to be narrower and they flare apically to allow room in between for the permanent crowns.

23
Q

discuss the pulp of primary teeth?

A

The pulp is larger in primary teeth but the enamel and dentine is thinner. This means it is easier to expose the pulp chamber as the pulp horns are closer to enamel.

24
Q

Why are primary teeth impossible to clean properly?

A

They have flat &thin root canals with multiple accessory canals.

25
Q

what is the leeway space?

A

The extra mesiodistal space occupied by the wider primary molars that are replaced by premolars.

it is 1.5mm per side on the upper arch

2.5mm per side on the lower arch.

26
Q

how long does the mixed dentition stage last?

A

From the erruption of the first permanent tooth to the exfoliation of the last primary tooth (often the upper canine)

Age 6-11 (can last till a child is 12/13)

32
Q

At what age does the permanent maxillary first premolar erupt?

A

10 years

At what age does the permanent maxillary 1st molar erupt?

A

6 years

35
Q

At what age does the permanent maxillary 2nd molar erupt?

A

12 years

36
Q

lower teeth erupt before uppers except the…

A

second premolar in secondary teeth.

Lateral Incisors in primary teeth.

37
Q

if there is crowding on the upper arch, how does this affect eruption?

A

the upper canine is excluded.

38
Q

if there is crowding on the lower arch, how does this affect eruption?

A

there is lack of space for the second premolar

39
Q

describe this image

A

Ugly duckling phase.

The lateral incisors push on the root and splay out the central incisors.

The permanent canines come in to close the gap as they push the splay down.

40
Q

what tooth is this?

A

  • Transverse ridge.
41
Q

what tooth is this?

A

a lower second primary molar.

it has:

  • 5 cusps =3 buccal cusps

42
Q

what tooth is this?

A

the upper first primary molar .

43
Q

what tooth is this?

A

44
Q

What is the primate space?

A

The space found behind the laterals of the upper arch and the canines of the lower arch.
