Term Test 3 Flashcards
What does enamel matrix give rise to?
enamel? LOL ASHLEE I DONT KNOW
What are the components of enamel matrix?
proteins, carbs, and only a small amount of hydroxyapatite crystals
What is the composition of enamel?
96% inorganic or mineralized material, 1% organic, 3% water
Is enamel vascular or avascular?
Avascular
What is the hardness of enamel realitive to other structures?
Hardest structure in the body
What is amelogenesis?
- Process of enamel matrix formation
- Occurs during apposition stage of tooth development
How does enamel appear on a radiograph?
Radiopaque
How is enamel lost?
- Abrasion, attrition, erosion
- Enamel caries
What is the composition of dentin?
- 70% inorganic or mineralized material
- 20% organic material
- 10% water
What is the difference in rate between dentin vs enamel attrition?
Attrition of dentin can occur at a more rapid rate when it is exposed because of its lower mineralized content.
What is primary dentin
-Primary: formed in a tooth prior to the completion of the apical foramen’s; characterized by its regular pattern of dentinal tubules.
What is secondary dentin
-Secondary: formed after the completion of the apical foramen’s and continues to form throughout the life of the tooth; slightly irregular pattern of tubules.
Peritubular dentin:
found in the wall of the tubules; is highly mineralized
Intertubular dentin:
found between the tubules; is highly mineralized
Mantle dentin:
outermost layer near dentinoenamel junction underneath enamel; first dentin formed.
Circumpulpal dentin:
layer of dental found around the outer pulpal wall; dentin formed after mantle dentin.
Is dentin vascular or avascular?
Nonvascular/avascular.
Dentin matrix formation
-Dentinogenesis*: the process of dentin matrix or predentin formation; occurs during apposition stage of tooth development.
What is the composition of cementum?
- 65% inorganic or mineralized material
- 23% organic material
- 12% water
What makes up the periodontium?
- cementum
- PDL
- alveolar process
- each of the individual components of each type of tissue
Is cementum vascular or avascular?
-Avascular
What brachial arch does the maxilla alveolar bone develop from?
develop from tissue of the first branchial arch: mandibular arch.
What brachial arch does the mandible alveolar bone develop from?
develop from tissue of the first branchial arch: mandibular arch.
Give a general description of the alveolar bone…
part of either the mandible or maxilla that supports teeth
What types of bone make up the alveolar bone?
alveolar bone proper (ABP)
supporting alveolar bone (SAB)
What type of bone makes up the alveolar bone proper (ABP)?
composed of compact bone; aka cribriform plate, sharpey fibers inserted here; varies in thickness from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.
What type of bone makes up the supporting alveolar bone (SAB)?
consists of both cortical and trabecular bone.
What is alveolar bone proper known as on a radiograph?
-lamina dura :).
What are the subgroups of the alveolodental ligament?
alveolar crest horizontal interraddicular oblique apical
What are sharpey fibers
-the ends of the principal fibers that are within the cementum or the alveolar bone proper are sharpey fibers.
Where does the nutrition supply of the oral mucosa come from?
capillary plexus
What percentage of each type of mucosa makes up the oral cavity?
lining 60%
masticatory 25%
specialized 15%
Where is lining mucosa found?
buccal mucosa, labial mucosa, alveolar mucosa, ventral surface of the tongue, floor of the mouth, soft palate
Where is masticatory mucosa found?
attached free gingiva, hard palate, dorsal surface of the tongue
