Tooth eruption and exfoliation Flashcards
the primary and permanent dentitions develop ____ as the jaws increase in size from infancy to adolescence
simultaneously
do mandible and maxilla grow at same rates or different
same
how many teeth do the jaw accomodate at 4-5 years of age
20 erupted teeth and 28 developing teeth
how many teeth do the jaws accomadate at age 8-12
mixed dentition stage that involves the concomitant exfoliation of deciduous teeth and eruption of permanent teeth
what is the definition of tooth eruption
movement of a tooth from its site of development within the alveolar process to its functional position in the oral cavity
what are the 3 stages of tooth eruption
-pre-eruptive stage
-pre functional eruptive stage/eruptive stage
- functional phase/post eruptive phase
what happens in the pre-eruptive stage
growth of the jaws, tooth buds and the remodeling of the body crypt
how do teeth growth into their position
distally then mesially
what does mesial migration of teeth result from
resportion of the mesial wall with comitant apposition of bone on the distal wall
in what ways do the jaws increase in size
-length (anterior posterior)
- width (coronal plate)
-alveolar ridge height
- buccal-lingual width of alveolus
when the teeth start to grow where does crowding occur
anteriorly
as the jaws increase in length, the crowding is alleviated by ____
migration of teeth distally which allows for more even distribution
how do the teeth move with increased jaw size
outward (facially) and towards the oral cavity (upward or downward)
because of the jaw length, the permanent developing molars have ____
angled inclination mesially prior to and during eruption and achieve vertical alignment only when jaw length is sufficient to allow it
what are the theories of tooth eruption
root growth
- vasscular pressure
-selective bone deposition and resorption
-pulpal pressure
-periodontal and gingival fiber ligaments
