Q

What is the hertwig’s root sheath?

36
Q

What does the hertwig’s root sheath determine?

The outline of the root dentin and the number of roots a tooth will have

37
Q

When is the hertwig’s root sheath removed?

38
Q

Where does enamel formation stop at?

A

The termination of the enamel organs

39
Q

What happens when enamel formation stops?

A

Dentin formation continues, and pushes the tooth occlusally

40
Q

What does a modification of Hertwig’s root sheath create?

A

“septa” that divide the pulpal tissue and create multiple roots

41
Q

When is root length complete?

A

Not until 1-4 years after the tooth has emerged into the oral cavity
The pulp chamber narrows, and the apical opening constricts

42
Q

What stage is this and label the colors

A

Apposition stage
Green: stellate reticulum
Light blue: stratum intermedium: inner enamel epithelium
Purple: peripheral cells of dental papilla

43
Q

What does the stratum intermedium produce?

A

Alkaline phosphatase

44
Q

What do inner enamel epithelium produce?

A

ameloblasts -> enamel

45
Q

What do peripheral cells of dental papillae produce?

A

Odontoblasts -> dentin

46
Q

What is the first formed dentin?

A

Mantle dentin

47
Q

What kind of collagen does mantle dentin contain?

A

Type I and III collagen

48
Q

How are mantle dentin collagen fibers in the matrix oriented?

A

Perpendicular to the DEJ

49
Q

What stage is this?
Label each color

A

Apposition stage
Yellow: stratum intermedium
Orange: ameloblasts
Red: enamel
Purple: dentin
Light purple: pre-dentin
Green: odontoblasts

50
Q

What is occuring during the apposition stage?

A

Migration of ameloblasts peripherally
Migration of odontoblasts inward

51
Q

What are actively secreting ameloblasts?

A

Tall columnar cells

52
Q

What are inactive (aka reduced) ameloblasts?

A

Short columnar or elongated cuboidal cells

53
Q

What happens during the final stage of apposition stage of mineralization?

A

The reduced ameloblasts with the remaining cells of the outer enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum, and stratum intermedium form a membrane on the surface of the enamel
Termed the PRIMARY CUTICLE (aka Nasmyth’s membrane)

54
Q

What is anodontia?

A

Total lack of tooth development

55
Q

What is hypodontia?

A

Lack of development of one or more teeth

56
Q

What is oligodontia?

A

Lack of formation of six or more teeth (subdivision of hypodontia)

57
Q

What is hyperdontia?

A

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

58
Q

What are supernumerary teeth?

A

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

Q

What is the most common manifestation of supernumerary tooth formation?

A

Mesodens
*between 8 and 9

60

Originates during the initiation stage and results in multiple small fragments of the structure consisting of dentin, enamel, cementum, or any combination

61
Q

What is complex odontoma comprised of?

A

A conglomerate mass of enamel and dentin that bears no anatomic resemblance to a tooth

62
Q

What are compound odontoma comprised of?

A

Multiple, small tooth like structures

63
Q

What is taurodontism?

A

An enlargement of the body and pulp chamber of multirooted teeth with apical displacement of the bifurcation, i.e., an exceptionally long root trunk with very short roots

64
Q

What is abnormal root formation due to?

A

Malfunction in hertwig’s root sheath

65
Q

What is dilaceration?

A

Abnormal angulation or bend in the root due to malformation of epithelial root sheath

66
Q

What is gemination?

A

Defect that originates during the cap stage of development that results in large single-rooted tooth with one pulp cavity and exhibits “twinning” in crown area
- tooth count is normal when the double tooth is counted as one

67
Q

What is the difference between gemination and fusion?

A

Gemintation is when tooth count is normal when the double tooth is counted as one
Fusion is when a double tooth in which the tooth count reveals a missing tooth when the double tooth is counted as one

68
Q

What is concrescence?

A

Defect occurring during apposition and maturation stages that results in union of root structure of two or more teeth by cementum

69
Q

What is tubercle fformation?

A

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

70
Q

What do dentigerous cyts (aka follicular cysts) originate by?

A

Separation of the dental follicle (dental sac) from the crown of the unerupted tooth.
The cyst is attached at the CEJ

71
Q

What cyst type comprises of 20% of all jaw cysts?

A

Dentigerous cyst

72

What do odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) or keratocystic odontogenic tumors arise from?

A

Cells rests of the dental lamina

73
Q

OKC constitutes what percent of odontogenic cysts?

74
Q

What ages do OKC cysts arise in?

75
Q

Where are OKC cysts located?

A

In mandible but often present as multilocular lesions

76
Q

What kind of cysts are bone expanding cysts?

77
Q

What is the treatment for OKC?

A

Surgical removal, but has a 30% recurrence rate

78
Q

What does a cyst wall consist of?

A

6-8 cell layer of stratified squamous epithelium with parakeratosis at the luminal surface

79
Q

What is an OKC cyst filled with in the lumen?

80
Q

The presence of inflammation in an OKC causes?

A

Epithelial proliferation and pallisading of the basal cell layer

81

A

Slow growing, locally invasive tumor

82
