Quiz 1 Flashcards
What is the Cementoenamel junction?
Other names for Cementoenamel Junction
CEJ
Cervical Line
- The junction or separation between the crown and the root or of the cementum and enamel
What covers the root of the tooth?
Cementum
What covers the crown of the tooth?
Enamel
T or F, On the lingual surfaces of posterior teeth, the raised or convex contours are called ridges
False, Are NOT called ridges. They are called “Lingual Heights of Contour”.
T or F, Lingual heights of contour are not in the cervical part of the crown
True
On what teeth would you find Lingual Fossae (plural)
On Canines
What are lingual fossae on canines?
Irregular depressions or concavities that are unique to the lingual surfaces of canines. They divide the lingual fossa of canines into separate mesiolingual and distolingual fossae
4 aspects of Supplemental (secondary) Groove
- A line on the surface of a posterior tooth that does NOT divide primary portions of a tooth
- Will usually not be names because they may not always consistently appear on the surface of a posterior tooth
- Many times, they will separate triangular ridges from cuspal ridges on the same cusp
- If present, supplemental grooves are named according to their location
What is the last primary tooth to erupt and when does it occur?
Maxillary 2nd molar
29 months
What is the first primary tooth to erupt and when does it occur?
First incisor at 8 months
At twenty months of age, which of the primary teeth have emerged
All of primary teeth (Incisors, Canines, First molar) except the second molars have emerged
The Transitional “Mixed” Dentition Period begins with what?
The emergence and eruption of the Permanent Mandibular 1st Molar at age 6
How does the Mixed Dentition period end?
With the loss of the last primary tooth, either the maxillary canine or usually the maxillary second molar at age 11-12
How are the permanent 1st molars guided as they emerge?
By and emerge distal or posterior to the Primary 2nd molars
When do the permanent teeth begin their eruptive movements?
Not until after the crown is formed
What may occur during the Mixed dentition period if you have premature loss of primary teeth?
May lead to a lack of space for the permanent dentition
What 3 things may have an adverse effect on the eruption of the permanent dentition?
Dental neglect
Congenital absence
Anomalies
What is the order of eruption for maxillary permanent teeth?
1st molar, Central Incisor, Lateral Incisor, 1st Premolar, 2nd Premolar, CANINE, 2nd Molar, 3rd Molar
- Canines lag behind anterior teeth and premolars
