Teeth, tongue, glands Flashcards
Layers of tooth-inside to out.
- Pulp,
- Dentin,
- Enamel (superiorly) and Cementum (inferiorly)
What are the calcified dental tissues? composition of them?
1) enamel2) cementum3) dentin
Made of calcium hydroxy apetitie = INORGANIC
Enamel-
1. Inorganic vs 2. Organic what makes the cells found in matrix?
something special about enamel (a & b)
1) mineral =calcified hydroxyapetitie
2) calcified matrix with 2 fibrous glycoproteins=enamelin and amelogen—-made by ameloblasts WHICH ARENT FOUND IN ADULTS= a) no regeneration=acellular
b) striae of retzius (not the retropubic space)
Do you have ameloblasts? What do they do?
No, not unless you are a child.
Ameloblasts make enamel (synthesize enamelin and amelogen=calcified matrix of enamel)
Enamel vs cementum (with regards to location)
Same layer of tooth BUT enamel above cervix, cementum below cervix. Cervix around gum-tooth jct area
Cementum- 1. Inorganic substance 2. Organic substance Divisions of cementum, what's in each part? A. B.
Components:
1) Inorganic substance = calcium hydroxyapetitie
2) Organic substance/calcified matrix= collagen, cementoblasts
Parts
a)Cellular cementum=apical region, cementoblasts, cementocytes
b) Acellular cementum= coronal region, cementoblasts
Cervix of the tooth is?
junction of enamel and cementum
Dentin- contents of dentin (2) interesting structural feature (3)
1) Inorganic=calcium hypoxyapetite
2) Organic=calcified matrix= collagen fibers–>made by odontoblasts located at periphery of pulp
3) dentinal tubules- receive odontoblastsic processes from odontoblasts
Parts of pulp (inferior–>superior)
Apical foramina–>root canal –>pulp chamber
Most narrow–>widest order as well
1) Tooth material(s) you CAN produce. 2) tooth material(s) you CANNOT produce (unless you’re a kid)
1) dentin (from odontoblasts), cementum (cementoblasts), 2) enamelalin and amelogen (from ameloblasts)
What has collagen?
Dentin, cementun, pulp (thin fibers), periodontal ligament (principal fiber bundles), gingivae (principal fiber bundles), Tongue (lamina propria and submucosa= dense irregular collagenous CT),
2 cell types in cementum- location of each
- Cementoblasts- In both cellular (apical) and acellular (coronal) cementum
- Cementocytes- Only in cellular (coronal) part. Found in lacunae [of cellular cementum] and sends processes via caniliculi to periodontal ligament (this is the part right outside cementum in gums)
Dental pulp
- cells
- CT
- anything else?
- odontoblasts (in peripheral part), fibroblasts, mesenchymal cells
- gelatinous CT, thin collagen fibers
- super vascular
What part of the tooth gets innervation/pain/all that wonderful anatomy stuff? What specifically is going on?
Dental Pulp!
GVE= Sympathetic Efferent- blood vessel diameter
ALL SENSATION = Pain–>CNS
Dental supporting structure?
Periodontal ligament
Periodontal ligament
- Function
- Location/attachment
- structure
- Any other fun features (obv)
- dental support, counteract chewing suspends tooth in alveolus
- attaches at cementum and alveolar bone proper
- Dense irregular CT : collagen arranged into principal fiber bundles that stretch between cementum and alveolus
- lots of nerves and vascular supply
Alveolus-what is it? Structure?
IT'S BONE Layers: Inner: cribiform plate- compact bone Middle: Cancellous=trabecular bone= spongiosa= intervening layer Outer: cortical plate- compact bone
Principal fiber bundles- where are they found? Function?
Found in 2 places! 1. Periodontal ligament Collagen arranged to suspend the tooth in the alveolus. Makes connections with both Absorb and counteract force of chewing structure of periodontal ligament 2. in gums, attaches teeth to gums
Gingivae (aka?)
1. structure
A. Function
=Gums, will be called gums from this point on
1. Epithelium = stratified squamous partially–> fully keratinized
2. Dense irregular CT= collagen arranged in 5 principal fiber bundles
A. Attach to enamel via HEMIDESMOSOMES
Sulcus terminalis
V-shaped depression
Divides tongue into anterior (2/3) and posterior (1/3
Foramen cecum
shallow pit of apex of v-shaped sulcus terminalis
What are hemidesmosomes found in?
Gums: tooth attachment
