Q

because of the jaw length, the permanent developing molars have ____

A

angled inclination mesially prior to and during eruption and achieve vertical alignment only when jaw length is sufficient to allow it

16
Q

what are the theories of tooth eruption rooted in/based on

A

-root growth, bone remodeling, and periodontal ligament formation
- PTH
-MMPs produced by fibroblasts, osteoclasts, and macrophages

17
Q

what is the theory of root growth as an eruption theory

A

elongation of the roots in relation to stability of the fundus of the socket allows tooth to erupt

18
Q

what is the theory of vascular pressure as an eruption theory

A

increase hydrostatic pressures in the apical dental sac of the periodontal ligament

19
Q

what is the theory of selective bone deposition and resorption as an eruption theory

A

coronal bone resorption concomitant with bone apposition in the fundus area
- shifting of the tooth in an erupted path because you have bone being removed superiorly and bone being deposited inferiorly shifting things upwards into place

20
Q

what is pulpal pressure as an eruption theory

A

tissue pressure differential in the pulp compared to the PDL
- as the tooth grows you decrease pressure in the pulp chamber causing the PDL to increase pressure onto the tooth pushing it upwards

21
Q

what is the eruption theory of peridontal and gingival fiber ligaments

A

cells exert traction on the tooth through the collagen network and cell to cell contacts
-contraction of fibers push tooth up in a coronal direction

22
Q

what happens in the pre-functional eruptive stage/eruptive phage

A

as permanent tooth erupts, causes resorption on deciduous tooth in front of it
- follows its own canal space and remains a connection with the oral epithelium at the top

23
Q

what is the pre fucntional eruptive stage/eruptive stage due to

A

pressure on fundus, root growth, and bone resorption/deposition

24
Q

what is the gubernacular canal

A

eruptive pathway for succedaneous teeth. it is a strand of CT that contains remnants of dental lamina epithelium

25
what is the average rate of eruption
3 mm every 3 months
26
what happens with occlusal surface wear in the functional phase/post eruptive phase
-oblique fibers of the PDL continually pull the tooth into occlusion as enamel is abraded -apical cementum deposition also serves as a compensatory eruptive mechanism to continual occlusal abrasion
27
what happens with interproximal wear (mesial drift) in the functional phase/post-eruptive phase
-mesial inclination of teeth in full contact will yield an anterior force vector and when coupled with the pull of the transseptal fibers, resulted in mesial drift -because of this, teeth become more crowded with age
28
what is the definition of exfoliation and what stimulates it
removal of primary/deciduous teeth. stimulus from dental follicle of adult tooth stimulates formation of odontoclasts and fibroclasts to degrade primary tooth structures to allow for eruption
29
what is the function of odontoclasts and fibroclasts
resorb the root from the apex on lingual surfaces which allows for tooth to start in mesial position to erupt
30
does the adult tooth push on the baby tooth to erupt
no, a front clears away for the tooth to have room to erupt
31
what are odontoclasts derived from
monocytes that exit capilareis to become CT macrophages. the macrophages then fuse together to form a syncytium that functions like an osteoclast
32
what do odontoclasts do
degrade both the collagenous and non-collagenous matrix of cementum and dentin and the hydroxyapatite mineral phase to make room for succedaneous teeth to erupt
33
what are fibroclasts
specialized fibroblast-like cells that destroy the collagen fibers of the PDL associated with the resorbing tooth root
34
how do we know that shedding of teeth is a programmed event
- finding of apoptotic cell death in the resorbing PDL - tooth eruption in twins reveals teeth shedding is genetic too (80% genetic)
35
what teeth are commonly involved in malocclusion and why
canines because they erupt after incisors and premolars
36
what are the examples of malocculsion
-excessive mesial drift - extra anterior teeth -impaction -severe malocclusion
