  • Front
  • Back
the process of shedding the deciduous teeth and replacement by the permanent teeth
exfoliation
as the bone continues to grow, the deciduous teeth develop spaces between them
primate spaces
the spaces between the deciduous canines and first molars and those between the first and second molars
leeway spaces
the emergences of a crown into the oral cavity
active tooth eruption
movement the crown develops while the bottom of the socket fills in with bone, pushing the crown toward the surface
spatial
the grown of a tooth does not grow in a perfectly symmetical pattern
excentric or off-center growth
the reduced enamel epithelium contacts the oral epithelium and these two laters fuse to one layer
united oral epithelium
plays a role in the formation of cementum of the rot, the perio ligaments and alveolar bone
dental sac
a condition in which the alveolar crest of bone fuses in the cervical area with the cementum of a resorbing root
ankylosis
uses arabic numerals 1 through 32 for permanent teeth and the letters A throught T for primary
uninversal system
each four quads are given there own prefix symbol or quad bracket
palmer notation system
each tooth, deciduous or permanent is given a two digit number
federation dentaire international
continually formed within the tooth byh the same odontoblasts that form regular dentin
secondary dentin
the fusion of lobes
coalescence
the deciduous molars are often called
the 2 year molars
the first teethof the permanent dentiton to emerge into the oral cavity are usually the mandibular molars which are sometimes called
6 year molars
as the permanent tooth erupts, osteoclastic cells destroy the root of the deciduous tooth
resorption
the process by which the roots of a baby tooth are resorbed and dissolved until so little root remains that the baby tooth falls out
exfoliation
permant second molars are sometimes called
12 year molars
tooth that never forms b/c a tooth bud was never produced from which it could be formed, this can be a hereditary trait
congenitally missing tooth
the wearing away of the tooth contact of its functioning surfaces
attrition
the curved alignment of the occlusal plane
curve of Spee
during the bud stage, the cells of the embryonic connective tissue deep to the bud resemble large multipointed cells
mescenchymal cells
the mescenchymal cells adjacent to the cap become more rounded and condensed
dental papilla cells
during the bell stage the inner enamel epithelial cells become taller
preameloblasts
outlines the rod and contains most of the fibrous organic substance
rod sheath
is made up of hydroxyapatite crystals and is the primary unit of enamels structure
enamel rod
3 or 4 ameloblasts act together to form one enamel rod by laying down fibers and a matrix composed of a gluelike material
ground substance
second stage of calcification
maturation
every fourth day there seems to be a change in the development of the rod, and a brownish line develops in the enamel
striae of retzius
looking at the labial surface of an anterior tooth you can see horizontal lines on the crown
imbircation lines
the final job of the ameloblasts is to lay down a protective layer over the enamel
primary enamel cuticle or nasmyth's membrane
after the ameloblast produce the primary cuticle, it begins flattening out and blending with the outer enamel epithelial cells
reduced enamel epithelium
the reduced enamel epithelium produces an adhesive like secretion
secondary enamel cuticle or epithelial attachment
epithelium that adheres to the tooth
attachment epithelium
spots or entire areas of the teeth appear white to whitish yellow in color
hypocalcified enamel
the enamel will have a yellow to gray hue and may be seen radiographically as a thinner than the normal layer of enamel
hypoplastic enamel
small area of hypocalcified enamel seen ar the DEJ and extending about one fourth to one third of the way through the enamel
enamel tuft
a cellular extensioin of the odontoblast that becomes trapped between ameloblasts in early development and thus end up in the enamel
enamel spindle
a long tube, running from the DEJ or DCJ to the pulp. each tubule contains an odontoblastic process
dentinal tubule
an area of higher crystalline content immdeidately surrounding the dentinal tubules
peritubular dentin
the bulk of the dentinal material
intertubular dentin
the layer formed inside the regular dentin and positioned closest to the pulp
secondary dentin
poorly calcified dentin that becomes entrapped
interglobular dentin
dentinal tubules that are empty b/c of the death of the ondontoblasts that orginally occupied them
dead tracts
condition in which the dentinal tubules are filled with a dentin material
sclerotic dentin
