Quiz 1 Review Flashcards
What is the Cementoenamel Junction (CEJ)?
Junction or separation between the crown and the root or cementum and enamel
What dental surface covers the root?
Cementum
What dental surface covers the crown?
Enamel
What are lingual heights of contour?
Raised contours on lingual surfaces of posterior teeth
What is the anatomical root?
Anatomical root: portion of tooth covered in cementum
Clinical root:
Anatomic crown vs. clinical crown
Anatomical crown: portion of tooth covered by enamel
Clinical crown: portion of tooth that is clinically visible, varies with age
Where are lingual fossae found?
canines
Supplemental (secondary) grooves
- line on the surface of a posterior tooth that does not divide the primary portions of a tooth
- Usually not named
- May not always appear consistently on a posterior tooth
- Separate a triangular ridge from a cuspal ridge
- Named according to their location
What are irregular depressions or concavities that are unique to the lingual surfaces of canines that divide the lingual fossae of canines into separate mesiolingual and distolingual fossae?
Lingual Fossae
What tooth is the last primary tooth to erupt?
maxillary secondary molar (A, J) at 29 months
What is the first primary tooth to erupt?
mandibular central incisor (P, O) at 8 months
Emersion vs. Eruption
Emersion: stage of tooth development as it first appears through gingiva
Eruption: continuous movement of tooth as it develops from its initial calcification stage until it reaches occlusal contact with a tooth in the opposing arch
When does the mixed dentition period begin?
emergence & eruption of the permanent mandibular 1st molar at age 6
When does the mixed dentition period end?
loss of the last primary tooth
What are the permanent 1st molars guided by?
primary 2nd molars
When do permanent teeth begin their eruptive movements?
after the crown has formed
What does premature loss of primary teeth lead to?
lack of space for permanent dentition
T/F dental neglect, congenital absence, or abnomalies will have an adverse effect on the eruption of permanent dentition
True
What is the first tooth to erupt in the maxillary arch?
1st molar
What is the order of maxillary tooth eruption?
1st molar central incisor lateral incisor 1st premolar 2nd premolar canine 2nd molar 3rd molar
At about 8 years of age what permanent teeth have not yet erupted in the mouth?
permanent 2nd molars
pre-molars
canines
What type of arch of alignment do humans have?
partially isognathous: partially symmetrical
What teeth have an anterior transverse ridge?
permanent maxillary molars (mainly 1st)
What is the anterior transverse ridge confluent with?
mesial marginal ridge, obliterating much of the mesial triangular fossa
