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
|
