Developmental Abnormalities of Teeth
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| anodontia | congenital lack of teeth associ. w/ ectodermal dysplasia affect decideous or permanent |

| what syndrome can supernumerary teeth be associated with | cleidocranial dysplasia or Gardner syndrome |
| treatment for supernumerary teeth | erupted-removal if fucking other shit up nonerupted- should be extracted b/c risk of developing cyst around crown |

| what is relative generalized macrodontia? | large teeth in a small jaw |
| in what cases would macrodontia been seen affecting a single tooth? | cases of facial hemihypertrophy |
| what is gemination | single tooth germ attempts to divide in two |
| how does gemination appear radiographically? | usually one root and single pulp canal exist |
| how does gemination appear clinically? | two crowns joined together by notched incisal area |
| (T/F, referring to gemination) a patient doesn't have a full complement of teeth | false, they do |
| what is fusion? | union of two normally separate adjacent tooth germs |
| how does fusion appear clinically? | appears as single crown that occurs in place of two normal teeth |
| how does fusion appear radiographically? | either separate or fused roots and root cananls seen |
| (T/F, referring to fusion) this patient is usually short one tooth | true |
| what is concrescences? | two adjacent tooth united by cementum -usually discovered on radiographs |
| (T/F, referring to concresences) if one tooth needs to be removed, it can be detached from the tooth it is fused to | False, both teeth need to be removed |
| what is hypercementosis? | excessive amounts of cementum on apcial third of root surface |
| how does the root appear during hypercementosis? | bulbous |
| does the perio. membrane stay intact around excessive cementum? | yesh! |
| what is dilaceration? | abnormal curve or bend in root of tooth -usually discovered on radiographs |
| when do dilacerations cause a problem? | when tooth needs to be removed or a root canal is needed |
| what is an enamel pearl (and what is is also known as?) | small, spherical enamel projection on root surface aka. enameloma |
| where are enamel pearls usually found? | maxillary molars |
| problems with enamel pearls? | difficult for instrumentation can be mistaken for calculus removal maybe necessary if perio. problem occurs in furcation |
| what is a talon cusp | accessory cusp located in cingulum area of maxillary/mandibular permanent incisor -contains pulp horn, may interfere w/ occlusion |
| what is taurodontism (and what is it also known as?) | teeth have elongated pulp chambers and short roots -occurs permanent and deciduous, id on radiographs aka. bull like teeth |
| what are the abnormalities in the number of teeth? | anodontia, hypodontia, supernumerary-mesiodens,distomolars |
| what are the abnormalities in the size of the teeth | microdontia, macrodontia |
| what are the abnormalities in the shape of teeth? | gemination, fusion, concrescence, dilaceration, enamel pearl, talon cusp, taurodontism, dens in dente, dens evaginatus, supernumerary roots |
| what are the abnormalities of the tooth structure? | enamel hypoplasia, enamel hypocalcification, endogenous staining of teeth, regional odontodysplasia |
| what are the abnormalities of tooth eruption? | impacted teeth, embedded teeth, anklosed teeth |
| what is dens in dente (and what is it also known as?) | occurs when enamel organ invaginates into crown of tooth before mnineralization aka. dens invaginatus |
| how does dens in dente appear radiographically? | appears as a tooth like structure w/in tooth |
| what are dens in dente vulnerable to? | caries, pulpal infections, necrosis |
| what is dens evaginatus? | accessory enamel cusp found on the occlusal tooth surface -may cause occlusal problems |
| where is dens evaginatus most often seen? | mandibular premolars |
| where are supernumerary roots most common? | maxillary and mandibular 3rd molars if multirooted teeth involved |
| when would supernumerary roots become clinically significant? | if removal or endodontia is needed |
| what is enamel hypoplasia? | incomplete or defective formation of enamel -affects permanent or deciduous |
| enamel hypoplasia may be due to what factors? | amelogenesis imperfecta, febrile illness (measles, chicken pox), vitamin deficiency, infection of a deciuous tooth, ingestion of fluoride, congenital syphilis, birth injury, idiopathic factors |
| what's Turner tooth? | enamel hypoplasia from infection or trauma to adult tooth from deciduous usually single tooth affected color yellow-brown, severe pitting, deformity] |
| what are one of the most sensitive cell groups in the body? | ameloblasts |
| enamel hypoplasia resulting from fluoride--ingestion of h2o w/ 2-3xs recommended amount leads to what type of appearance on the enamel | white flecks and chalky opaque areas of enamel |
| enamel hypoplasia resulting from fluoride--ingestion of 4xs recommended amount leads to what type of appearance on the enamel | causes brown or black staining |
| how is congenital syphilis transmitted? | infected mother to fetus via placenta |
| what causes Hutchinson incisors and mulberry molars? | enamel hypoplasia resulting from congenital syphilis |
| (T/F) enamel hypoplasia may occur due to trauma/injury at time of birth | True |
| (T/F) Mild illness or systemic problems can't really result in enamel hypoplasia | False, it can result in enamel hypoplasia |
| what is enamel hypocalcification? | developmental anomaly resulting in disturbance or maturation of enamel matrix -underlaying enamel may be soft and susceptible to caries |
| how does enamel hypocalcification appear? | usually appears as a chalky, white spot on middle 3rd of smooth crown |
| what is endogenous staining of teeth? | result of deposition of substances circulating systemically during tooth development |
| (T/F) endogenous staining of teeth is intrinsic | true |
| what are some possible causes of endogenous staining of teeth? | tetracycline stain, erthroblastosis fetalis-Rh incompatible neonatal liver disease congenital porphyria -inherited metabolic disease |
| what a reregional odontodysplasia also known as? | ghost teeth |
| what is regional odontodysplasia? | one or several teeth in SAME QUADRANT exhibit marked reduction in radiodensity and characteristic ghostlike appearance -very thin enamel and dentin are present |
| what is the tx for regional odontodysplasia? | extraction |
| what's the difference between impacted and embedded teeth? | impacted teeth-can't erupt b/c obstruction embedded teeth- lack eruptive force |
| (T/F)only 3rd molars can be impacted | False. any tooth can be impacted -3rd molars classified according to position of tooth |
| (T/F) teeth can be completely or partially impacted in bone | True, it can be either -partially impacted teeth are prone to infection |
| what is the tx for impacted and embedded teeth? | remove to prevent odontogenic cyst, tumor formation, damamge to adjacent teeht, prevent infection -optimal time b/t 12-24 years old |
| what are ankylosed teeth? | tooth cementum fused to bone |
| what is the problem with ankylosed teeth? | prevents exfoliation of deciduous tooth and eruption of permanents |
| (T/F) the periodontal ligament space is still present with ankylosed teeth? | False. the pdl space is lacking |
| why might ankylosed permanent teeth may need to be removed? | to prevent malocclusion, caries, periodontal disease |
