Q

Cervical loop

A

Junction of the outer & inner enamel epithelia.

Site of cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) in the adult tooth (aka cervix)

23
Q

Root Development

A

Cervical loop
Stellate reticulum
stratum intermedium
pre-odontoblasts

24
Q

Hertwigs epithelial root sheath

A

Fusion and apical extension of the outer and inner enamel epithelia. Determines the outline of the root dentin and the number of roots a tooth will have. It is removed before the cementum is laid down

25
Q

Enamel formation stops at the termination of the

A

enamel organ, although dentin formation centimes and pushes the tooth occlusally

26
Q

Root length is not complete until

A

1-4 yrs after the tooth has emerged into the oral cavity. The pulp chamber narrows and the apical opening constricts

27
Q

Apposition stage

A

Stellate reticulum
Stratum intermedium (produces alkaline phosphatase)
Inner enamel epithelium -> ameloblasts -> enamel
Peripheral cells of dental papillae -> odontoblasts -> dentin

28
Q

Mantle dentin

A
1st formed dentin
30-50mM thick 
Contains both type 1 and 3 collagen 
Collagen fiber in the matrix are oriented perpendicular to the DEJ 
Stimulates amelblasts to make enamel
29
Q

Migration of ameloblasts moves _____

Migration of odontoblasts moves ______

A

Peripherally

Inward (centrally)

30
Q

What is actively secreting ameloblasts

A

tall columnar cells

31
Q

After completion, inactive (aka reduced) ameloblasts are _____ __ _____ _____ ____

A

Short columnar or elongated cuboidal cells

32
Q

What happens at the final stage of mineralization

A

the reduced amelblasts with the remaining cells of the outer enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum and stratum intermedium form a membrane on the surface of the enamel - primary cuticle

33
Q

Anodontia

A

refers to the total lack of tooth development - no teeth at all

34
Q

Hypodontia

A

denotes the lack of development of one of more teeth

35
Q

Oligodontia

A

indicates the lack of formation of six or more teeth (a subdivision of hypodontia)

36
Q

Hyperdontia

A

the development of an increased number of teeth (the additional teeth are termed supernumerary)

37
Q

Supernumerary teeth

A

Defect that originates during initiation stage that results in development of one or more extra teeth

38
Q

Unilateral supernumerary bicuspids can be within families

A

brother had it and brother

39
Q

Mesodens

A

the most common manifestation of supernumerary tooth formation - btw central incisors

40
Q

Odontoma

A

originates during initiation stage and results in multiple small fragments of tooth structure consisting of dentin, enamel, cementum or any combination - extra growth with no distinct pattern

41
Q

Complex odontoma

A

Comprised of a conglomerate mass of enamel and dentin that bears no anatomic resemblance to a tooth - have to remove bc they tend to grow

42
Q

Compound odotoma

A

Comprised of multiple, small tooth-like structures

43
Q

Taurodontism

A

an enlargement of the body and pulp chamber of multicoated teeth with apical displacement of the bifurcation (an exceptionally long root trunk with very short roots)

44
Q

Dilaceration

A

defined as an abnormal angulation or bend in the root

45
Q

Gemination

A

Defect that originates during cap stage of development that results in large single-rooted tooth with one pulp cavity and exhibits “twinning” in crown area

46
Q

Gemination

A

Tooth count is normal when the double tooth is counted as one.
1 large single root, 1 pulp cavity, but “2 crowns” it tries to split and be 2

47
Q

Fusion

A

Refers to a double tooth in which the tooth count reveals a missing tooth when the double tooth is counted as one. 2 tooth: 2 RCs try to become 1

48
Q

How do you tell gemination and fusion apart

A

count all the teeth and if you are missing 1 = fusion and if normal = gemination

49
Q

Concrescence

A

Defet occurring during apposition and maturation stages that results in union of root structure of two or more tooth be cementum

50
Q

Tubercle formation

A

Defect occurring during cap stage of development that results in an extra cusp due to effects on enamel organ

51
Q

Dentigerous cyst (aka follicular cyst)

A

originates by separation of the dental follicle (dental sac) from the crown of an unerupted tooth. The cyst is attached to the CEJ. This cyst type comprises 20% of all jaw cysts

52
Q

Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC)

A

Arises from the cells rests of the dental lamina (or rests of serres). Bone expanding cysts. Located in the posterior mandible often present as multilocular lesions. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice.

53
Q

Cyst wall consists of

A

a 6-8 cell layer of stratified squamous epithelium with parakeratosis at the luminal surface. The lumen is often filled with keratin. The presence of inflammation with generally cause epithelial proliferation and passisading of the basal cell layer

54
Q

Ameloblastoma

A

The most common neoplastic lesion arising from odontogenic epithelium. A slow growing, locally invasive tumor. Lesions have a multilocular or “soap bubble” appearance on radiographs. The tumors are radio-resistant - must be surgically removed.
