(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 a reregional odontodysplasia also known as? | ghost teeth |
