TEETH Flashcards
TEETH in general
Dentes!
- Principal organ of MASTRICATION
- Composed of:
1. CORPUS Dentis
2. CORONA Dentis
3. RADIX Dentis
4. COLLUM Dentis
CORPUS DENTIS
- Body of the Tooth
- Applied for HYPSODONT teeth
- At HYPSODONT Teeth, the CORONA and RADIX cannot be distinguished!
CORONA DENTES
- Covered by ENAMEL
- Demarceted from the ROOT by the NECK
- Free distal portion of the Tooth
- Projects into the mouth
Structures of CORONA DENTIS
I: CUSPIS CORONA DENTIS
- cusp
- one of the Main Projections !! on the OCCLUSAL SURFACE
II: APEX CUSPIS
III: TUBERCULUM CORONA DENTIS
- Tubercle
- Secondary Projection of the CROWN!!!
- On the LINGUAL SURFACE of some incissors of Fe and Bo
RADIX DENTIS
Root!
- embedded portion
- NOT covered by ENAMEL
I: APEX RADICIS DENTIS
II: RADIX CLINICA
- Clinical root
- Concealed by the GINGIVA and ALVEOLUS
III: CANALIS RADICIS DENTIS - root canal
IV: FORAMEN APICIS DENTIS - orfice of the root canal!
V: PULPA DENTIS - Pulp of the root VI: PULPA CORONALIS - pulp in the crown VII: PULPA RADICULARIS - Pulp in the root canal
COLLUM DENTIS
Constriction between crown and root
What kind of substances is the mammalian teeth composed of?
- ENAMEL
- DENTIN
- CEMENT
ENAMEL
- Hard, white substance
- Produces by AMELOBLASTS
- COVERs the DENTIN in the CROWN
Structures in the ENAMEL
- PLICA ENAMELI
- Longitudinal folds
On premolar and molar teeth! - INFUNDIBULUM DENTIS
- invagination of Enamel on the OCCLUSAL surface of INCISSORS in Su+EQ🐷🐴
- Invagianation of Enamel on the OCCLUSAL surface of PREMOLARS in Ru+EQ🐮🐴 - CRISTA ENAMELLI
- Enamel crest
- Free OCCLUSAL Edge on one of the Enamel layers of a worn teeth
DENTIN
- Main substance of the Tooth
- Calcified, collagenous matrix
- Produces by the ODONTOBLASTS
- DENTAL cavity - DENTAL PULP
CEMENT
- Produced by CEMENTOBLASTS
- Bone-like substance
- covers the root!
- IN HYPSODONT TEETH covers the CORPUS Dentis, Fills the PLICAE and INFUNDIBULUM
What is the CT for the Teeths?
PERIDONTUM
- CT
- Attaches the Tooth and the GINGIVA to the ALVEOLUS
SURFACES of the TEETHS
- FACIES OCCLUSALIS
- Occlusal surface
- meeting the Teeths of the oppsite jaw! - FACIES VESTIBULARIS (facial, BUCCAL)
- Outer surface
- Directed toward the VESTIBULUM ORIS - FACIES LINGUALIS
- Inner surface
- directed toward the Tongue - FACIES CONTACTUS
- each Tooth, EXEPT the LaST MOLAR, has 2 contactsurfces!
- Related to the adjacent teeth in the same DENTAL Arch! - FACIES MESIALLIS
- on the first incissor next to the median plane
- on the other teeth directed toward the 1st incissors! - FACIES DISTALIS
- Oposite surface from the FACIES MESIALIS
