variations Flashcards
3 factors affecting tooth development and eruption
- nutrition
- physical phenomenon
- infection
acquired variations in morphology
NOT genetically related
non-environmental variations
genetically related
wear mechanisms are
non-bacterial and not trauma
wear due to tooth-to-tooth contact
attrition
non-masticatory movements
abrasion
non-bacterial chemical action
erosion
flexural forces
abfraction
factors affecting attrition
- diet
- habits (gum, tobacco)
- malocclusion
condition involving attrition
bruxism
material detached from surface due to hard particles
abrasion
toothpaste is a
3 surface body
examples of abrasion
toothbrushing, pipe smoking
what is worse while toothbrushing
horizontal orientation and the actual tooth paste
wedge-shaped lesions with sharp internal and external line angles
abfraction
what causes abfraction
tensile stress from mastication and malocclusion
mechanism of abfraction
flexural forces disrupt enamel and dentin by cyclic fatigue, leading to cracks and chips (cervical area)
loss of a portion of a tooth
trauma
abnormal curvature of the crown or root, 45 deg to >90 deg
dilaceration or flexion
causes of dilaceration
- traumatic injury
- insufficient space for development
shortened roots with normal sized crown
dwarfed roots
excessive cementum around root
hypercementosis
causes of hypercementosis
- trauma
- attrition
- systemic diseases
- periapical inflammation
- perio
which teeth are most affected by hypercementosis
premolars
