Paediatric Dentistry Flashcards
what are the 4 types of hyperdontia or supernumery ?
- mesiodens
- supplemental
- tuberculate
- conical
what developmental disease is associated with hyperdontia?
cleidocranial dystosis
what are the 3 common signs of cleidocranial dystosis?
- hypoplastic clavicle
- delayed/failed eruption
- supernumery
name 3 causes of a diastema?
- enlarged labial frenulum
- odontoma
- normal physiology (will close after 3s erupt)
what is amelogenesis imperfecta? (2)
- congenital/genetic disease (X linked)
- causes defect in ameloblast function and enamel matrix mineralisation
what are the 3 classifications of amelogenesis imperfecta?
- hypoplastic
- hypomineralised
- hypomaturation (enamel can be pierced under form pressure)
what are the 3 stages of enamel formation?
- formative stage – deposit enamel matrix
- calcification stage – matrix mineralize
- maturation stage – crystal enlarge and matures (become enamel rods)
what is dentinogenesis imperfecta? (2)
- genetic disorder of tooth developement
- causing dentine dysplasia
what are the 3 signs of dentinogensis imperfecta?
- teeth appearing yellow
- signs of amelogenesis imperfecta
- sclerosed canals (seen on radiograph)
what are the 3 types of dentinogensis imperfecta (DI)?
type 1: associated with osteogenesis imperfecta
type 2: only DI
type 3: Brandywine isolate
what is the classic sign of osteogenesis imperfecta?
Blue sclerae (eyes)
what drug could cause dental compiications for patients with osteogenesis imperfecta?
bisphosphonates
what causes MIH?
caused by the lack of mineralisation of enamel during the maturation phase.
what is Turners hypoplasia?
hypoplastic permenant tooth caused by PA infection from previous decidious tooth
what are the 2 developmental disorders that are associated with hypodontia?
- ectodermal dysplasia
- Down’s syndrome
what are the 3 signs of ectodermal dysplasia
- affects males only
- heat intolerance (lack of sweat glands)
- hypodontia
- microdontia (pegged laterals)
what chromosome number defect is causes Down’s syndrome?
chromosome 21 (Trisomy 21)
what is anodontia?
complete lack of teeth
what is the name of the rare dental malformation that causes “a tooth to be in a tooth”? what dental complication can occur?
- dens invaginatus
- prone to infection and very difficult to RCT
there is a missing lateral incisor, the plan is to bring forward the canine, what are the aesthetic issues?
- yellower than laterals
- wider anatomy
what teeth commonly have a late eruption?
canines
what developmental disorder is associated with failed tooth eruption?
cleidocranial dystosis
when a tooth is larger or smaller than its normal anatomy, what are they called?
macodontia
microdontia
what is the tooth developmental disorder called when 2 crowns have 1 root?
Germination
what is the tooth developmental disorder called when 2 teeth are joined together, having separate roots?
Fusion
what is it called when there is an extra cusp or bump is formed on a tooth?
dens evaginatus
what is it called when an extra cusp forms on an anterior tooth?
Talon’s cusp
