STUDY Flashcards
Mantle dentine
first dentin to produced and calcified
Interglobular dentin
hypomineralised dentin and globular areas mineralisation failed to fuse
Secondary dentin
formed after tooth and root are completely formed, formed throughout life
Tertiary dentin
formed due to stimulus (to protect pulp from caries)
Enamel tufts
BRUSH LIKE areas of hypocalcified enamel rods @ DEJ
Lamellae
hypocalcified CRACKS in enamel, extends from DEJ to surface
Enamel spindle
short ODONTOBLASTIC PROCESSES extend from dentin to enamel
Dentogingival junction tissues
sulcular & junctional epithelium
sulcular- away from tooth, gingival sulcus
junctional- deeper of sulcular, collar around tooth, floor of gingival sulcus
Gingival sulcus
space filled with gingival fluid, 0.5-3mm, average 1.8mm
Gingival fiber group 4
dentogingival
dentoperiosteal
alveologingival
circular
Finers to keep tooth intact
transeptal
circular
Soft palate
lining mucosa
thin non keratinised
thick lamina propria
submucosa: thin & firmly attached to muscles, adipose tissue, no minor s.g.
Hard palate
masticatory mucosa
thick orthokeratinised
thick lamina propria
submucosa: thinner > soft palate, adipose tissue @ anterior of lateral portion, minor s.g. @ molar area
FDI system
international system
2 digits
australia
first digit- arch
second digit- tooth
Mantle dentin
first predentin to form and mature
outer layer closest to enamel
mineralised collagen fibers direction differ from others
perpendicular direction to DEJ
more peritubular dentin
