Q

cellular cementum

  • characteristics

  • where found
A

contains cells - cementocytes and no sharpeys fibres therefore no role in tooth attachment
formed 2nd (secondary)

Q

examples of intrusive forces

A

mastication, swallowing, parafunction

17
Q

parafunction

A

abnormal function e.g thumb sucking, clenching, grinding

18
Q

examples of extrusive forces

A

orthodontic treatment, sticky foods

19
Q

describe the path of displacement of a tooth as brief forces are applied

A

initial quick displacement (elastic component) that then slows (visco elastic properties of matrix)
process is same in. reverse for force removal
