Quiz 2 Flashcards
separates dentin from enamel
dentinoenamel junction
What exits the apical foramen?
nerves
where anatomic crown meets anatomical root
cementoenamel junction
where cementum and dentin meet
cementodentinal junction
no blood supply, no nerves
avascular
What is the final job of ameloblasts?
to form nasmyth’s membrane
What does nasmyth’s membrane do?
protects enamel
imperfect enamel formation
- little holes in teeth, discolored
amelogenesis imperfecta
What is the result of too much fluoride ingested?
- modeled, white coloration
fluorosis
What happens in children that get lots of fevers and/or infections?
enamel damage
hard tissue loss from tooth-to-tooth movement
- grinding, bruxism
attrition
chemical means tooth decay
- acid reflex, bulimia, soda
erosion
wearing away tooth surface by mechanical means
- brushing teeth too hard
abrasions
cavities
caries
combination of abrasion of CEJ and grinding
Abfraction
what do dentin and pulp develop from
dental papilla
What is softer than enamel but still as hard as bone?
Dentin
What is in the middle, inside of teeth?
Pulp
genetic condition with imperfect genetic formation, dentin can’t support house
dentinogenisis imperfecta
Babies teeth are affected because of mother taking tetracycline, grey colored
tetracycline staining
secreted layers of enamel, dentin, and cementum matrix
apposition
mineralization completes
maturation
inner enamel epithelial cells elongate and differentiate into pre-ameloblasts
Bell stage
What begin to lay down hydroxyapatite crystals and mineralization begins?
dentin and enamel
process of enamel matrix formation known as the apposition stage of tooth development
amelogenesis
what is the hardest tissue of the body
enamel
what can only be removed by rotary cutting instruments
enamel
what is 96% mineralized
enamel
what forms from ameloblasts and is avascular
enamel
what develops from the enamel organ
enamel matrix
outer layer of epithelial cells
ectoderm
what form from the inner enamel epithelium
ameloblasts
how many ameloblasts join together to form the enamel rod
3 to 4
a column of enamel that runs perpendicular to the CEJ and extends to the surface of the tooth
enamel rods
what is the stage when ameloblasts excrete the enamel matrix
mineralization stage
during what stage do crystals grow and begin to calcify
maturation stage
incremental growth lines seen in sections of enamel described as brown in color
lines of retzuis
horizontal lines seen on the labial surface of anterior teeth
imbrication lines
When does root development occur
after crown of tooth is formed
what is root development formed from
cervical loop
what is responsible for the shape of the roots
hertwigs epithelial root sheath
what has genetic control and determines the shape of tooth
the dental papilla
what is 70% mineralized
dentin
what is softer than enamel
dentin
what is formed from odontoblasts
dentin
what is yellow- white in color
dentin
what makes up the bulk of the tooth and is present on both the crown and root
dentin
what secrete the matrix at the dentoenamel junction and the cells move toward the pulp
odontoblasts
dentin that is formed before the apical foramen is complete in the root
primary or regular dentin
formed after the completion of the apical foramen and continues to form throughout the life of the apical tooth
secondary dentin
formed as a result of localized injury to exposed dentin; can form quickly
tertiary (reparative, reactive) dentin
dentinal tubules are fully calcified associated with chronic injury
sclerotic dentin
