Terms

undefined, object
copy deck
line angle
junction of two surfaces
junctions of the tooth cementoenamel
The surface at which the enamel of the crown and the cementum of the root of a tooth are joined.
hard tissue - cementum
dull yellowish layer of hard, bonelike tissue covering dentin of enatomical anatomic root//65% ca hydrox, 23% organic matter (collagen fibers), 12% water, thin layer like
occlusion
manner in which mandibular teeth contact maxillary teeth
mixed dentition period
6-12 yrs// at age 6, 1st secondary teeth emerge (first perm molars)//ends when all deciduous teeth have been shed
LANDMARKS - pit
pinpoint depression//occurs at depth of ofssa where 2 or more grooves join//
LANDMARKS - transferse ridge
when B, L, triangular ridges join transversely
LANDMARKS - cinfulum
lingual lobe of anterior tooth//bulk of cervical 1/3 on lingual//convex M-D toot crowns develop from lobes on primary growth centers
succedaneous teeth
replace primary teeth (secondary premolars replace the primary molars) so the premolars and the third molars are not in the primary teeth
Pulpal anatomy - pulp horns
pointed projections (hehe) at occlusal and incisal portion of chamber; corresponds to cusps (see pic in notes)
Root portion of tooth - single root
1 apex, usually anterior of teeth and some premolars
non-succedaneous teeth
prem teeth that do not replace primary teeth
first premolar; 2nd premolar; upper canines
usually has 2 roots; usually has 1 root: longest teeth
hard tissues - enamel
white, protective external surface covering dentin of anatomic crown//highly mineralized, hardest substance in body//95% calcium hydroxyapitate - calcified and inorganic //1% organic matter (enamil matrix)//4%water..there's water there..cool.
anterior teeth
incisors and canines [incisors - incise or cut, canines - grasp or hold]
proximal - mesial and distal
sides that is adjacent to other teeth
LANDMARKS - triangular ridges
located on each major cusp of posterior teeth//descent from cusp tip toward central part of occlusal surfaces
primary dentition period
6mo - 6 yr of age// eruption 6mo to 2-2.5 yrs of age
Root portion of tooth - multiple roots
bifurcation of trifurcation dividing root portion into brances molars and some premolars
LANDMARKS - mamelons
3 small scallops, each formed from 1 of 3 facial developmtl lobes of incisal edges of newly erupted incisors
primary or decidious teeth
20 teeth, 5 teeth per quad [2 incis, 1 canine, 2 mol],10 per arch
functions of pulp - defense and protection - reparative dentin
response to moderate irritation by formation of dentin
Navigating a tooth - division into thirds - crown, thirds in three directions
occluso-gingivally, mesiodistally, and buccolingually
Root portion of tooth -alveolar process
portion of jaw which serves as support for tooth
root to crown ratio
root lenght/crown length
Pulpal anatomy - pulp chamber
crown portion
where do convex M-D toot crowns develop?
develop from lobes on primary growth centers (cusps, mamelons are representative) incisors, canines, most premolars develop from 4 lobes//each molar cusp forms from 1 lobe
anatomical root
part of the tooth that has cementum surface
root axis line
bisec root in cervical area
point angle
junction of 3 surfaces - like a 3pointer in bball..yayy. but u prob know this definition already
Pulpal anatomy - pulp canal
root portion
tooth composition - 4 tooth tissues, hard/soft?
enamel, cementum dentin <--hard soft-->pulp
functions of pulp - sensation
nerve endings in pulp conduct impulses of pain
apical foramen
apical limit of pulp, cavity through which nutrients enter and exit pulp
permanent teeth
32 perm teeth, 8 per quadrant, 16 per arch
clinical root
part of the tooth under gingiva, not exposed to oral cavity
height of contour or crest of curvature
highest point of curve or bulge farthest from root axis line//as with embrasure form, aids in proper protection and stimulation of gingival tissue (fxn)
Navigating a tooth - division into thirds - crown
can be divided into: incisal or occlusal third, middle third and cervical third
LANDMARKS - cusp with cusp tip
pointed peak located on occlusal surfaces of molars and premolars and incisal edges of canines
why is proper contact between teeth important?
stabilizes tooth and position withing arch // prevents food impaction
Pulpal anatomy - pulp cavity
contains pulp tissue, outline corresponds to external outline of tooth (see notes for pic)
functions of pulp - 4 embrasures
facial, lingula, occlusal, gingival (interproximal spac)
posterior teeth
premolars and molars [premolar - hold and crush, molars - grind and mix]
permanent dentition period
begins at age 12 (mixed dentition ends)
junctions of the tooth cementodentinal
The surface at which the cementum and dentin of the root of a tooth are joined.
clinical crown
part of the tooth visible in oral cavity
LANDMARKS - developmental groove
line formed during tooth development, btw lopes or primary parts of tooth
functions of pulp - embrasures
triangularly shaped spaces surrounding contact area//spillways directing food away from gingival-part of self cleaning process of teeth//4 embrasures (facial, lingula, occclusal, gingival -interproximal space)//lingual embrasure usually larger than facial (see notes for diag)
functions of pulp - nutrition
supplies nutrients and moisture to dentin through blood vascular supply
Navigating a tooth - division into thirds - root
can be divided into: cerfical third, middle third, and apical third
anatomical crown
part of the tooth that has enamel surface, coronal to cervical line
functions of pulp - formation of dentin by odontoblasts - secondary dentin
produced throughout life of tooth
hard tissues - dentin
hard yellowish tissue forfming main bulk of inner portion of tooth //surround pulp caviy, covered by enamel in anatomical crown and cementum in anatomical root//70% calcium hydrox, 18%organic (collage fibers), 12% water (softer than enamel, HARDer than cementum)
crown and root
apex of root, apical foramen, root, cervical line (cementoenamel junction), crown, root to crown ratio [no idea what this means, but it was in the notes]
junctions of the tooth dentinoenamel
The interface of enamel and dentin of the tooth crown, conforming in a general way to the shape of the crown.
when do permanent teeth erupt?
between 6 - 21 yrs of age
LANDMARKS - supplemental groove
less distinct than developmental groove, less distinct, doe snot mark junction of primary parts
LANDMARKS - sulcus
valley between ridges and cusps///developmental groove at junction of its inclines
LANDMARKS - fossa
small depression found between marginal ridges on lingual surfaces of anterior teeth and occlusal surfaces of all posterior teeth
Root portion of tooth -alveolus
bone of tooth sockey
LANDMARKS - marginal ridges
ant teeth - M & D border of L surface, converging toward cingulum//post teeth - on M and D bordes of occlustal surfaces
LANDMARKS - pits and fissures
enamel defects where dental dacay may begin
LANDMARKS - cusp tip
has 4 cusp ridges (lines prominences) of enamel converging toward it
functions of pulp - formation of dentin by odontoblasts - primary dentin
forming initial shape of tooth
functions of pulp - contact areas
area on proximal surface of the crown that touches the adjacent tooth in the same arch//stabalizes position of teeth withing arch and prevents food impaction (fxns)
tooth surfaces diagram
see notes - sexy diagram here
LANDMARKS - fissue
narrow crevice at depth of groove, caused by incomplete fusion of enamel during tooth develpmt
LANDMARKS - Oblique ridge
only on maxillary molars// triangular ridges connection diagonally
labial; buccal
near lips; near cheeks. these are facial tooth surfaces
LANDMARKS - cusp slopes
mesial and distal cusp ridges
